Rapper tweets YOLO (You Only Live Once)... before dying in horror 'drink-drive' crash

[Craig1981]

And swag? What the **** is that?.

Swag, slang originating in the early 1800s for stolen goods or booty.

 

[Cosimo]

I'm struggling to see how this is any great loss to the world?

5 less wannabe gangsters wasting valuable resources? - check
1 less awful car on the road? - check

All in all a successful day's work by good ol' physics

I wonder how you judge the value of five people lives by reading one DM article. I guess you must be all seeing and knowing.

 

[cymatty]

I laughed at the irony and this has to be a darwin award winner.

 

[Cosimo]

I LOL'd at article. What an idiot.

I felt sad that such a tragic waste of life was caused by such stupidity.

YOLO? YODO surely?

fake edit : unless you're a Bhuddist I suppose. Or Superman.

And for those who overcame their revulsion of someone using the Daily Mail as a source:

Police told the San Bernardino Sun that it might have been another rapper, 21-year-old Jonathan Watson, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident.

That's paragraph two, so it's not like you need to go far to spot the gaping hole in the Mail's stance there. The attacks on the Tweeter can politely be described as "premature". The attacks on the Daily Mail however, remain valid.

The waste of life was leaving them alive, don't be sad.

Didn't even have to read it, the picture was more than enough to base my decision on

Who knows, maybe given the chance they would've grown out of their youthful idiocy and made an impact on someone's life, maybe even achieved something. I suspect not though. Typically social mobility in SoCal is extremely low, so unless that big record deal came off I think Innkkyy and his pals would've ended their careers pretty soon in one way or another in similar or worse circumstances.

Or Lord Voldemort.

 

[King Damager]

What a fool.

I'm not going to say he deserved it, because no one deserves to die. But hopefully his actions will be a lesson to others...

If he was the passenger then thats pretty sad. Its funny in a way considering the tweet YOLO but I listened to the youtube video and thought it was pretty decent rap. Sounded like stuff from the good era of hip hop.

YOLOLOLOL?

Probably won't win any music awards but he must be up for a darwin

Surely he was more of a promising wrapper than a rapper, as he wrapped himself around the wall he hit.

 

[Spenty]

The guy was the passenger, also had just been signed up for a record deal. Seems pretty talented looking at his video. Also people saying someone deserves to die for writing the word YOLO need to get some perspective in life.

Ba doom, tish!

 

[sigma]

Am I reading it wrong? There's nothing to say that the driver was drunk?

Sad outcome either way. Wonder if his songs will be more popular now.

Natural selection. Something which is this over nannied, H&S mad, solicitor bumming, PC world is unfortunately being policed out of existence. There are defiantly far too many people alive that shouldn't be.

all i can say is cheers for making me chuckle!
