I dont think anyone was saying he deserved what happend. its more just we arent surprised. you play with fire, you're going to get burned. just like UA5straightin2008 was saying, even though they were told of what could happen when swimming there in the quarry, the continued to do it.
i was actually just talking about this with a friend. she has known about 10 people from her really small highschool that have died since graduating less than 9 years ago. non were from natural causes or diseases. one person just recently overdosed on drugs when only a few months ago, his friend died from drugs. even though that kid obviously just witnessed first hand what could happen, he decided to continue down that path. another 3 kids were killed in a car accident while still in school. after it happend everyone was going around preaching wear your seatbelt and all that stuff. a few months later, those same people were the ones speeding through town recklessly and without seat belts on.
I graduated in 2005 and we've had 11 people that either were IN high school or who had recently graduated from our high school who have been killed since we graduated. We're averaging over 2 per year, in a town of less than 2k people....not good. And it's not fun. I know how it feels, many times over for the friends and family of this guy. Peace and comfort be with them, RIP young man.
