When YouTube Stunt Turns Deadly
There has been a lot of unkind comments about how stupid they are but everything needs to be put into perspective. These kids were young. The rational part of a person's brain is not fully developed until the age of 25.
In fact, I don't agree with the charges of 2nd degree manslaughter. In my opinion, either involuntary or negligent manslaughter are a better fit for this situation - but that is just my opinion.
So anyway, the other day I was talking about this with Zack and told him that I would hope he would have more sense than that and realize that internet fame is not worth putting your life in jeopardy. To which he replied, "Oh...I don't know."
Like I said -brains not fully developed yet!
