About 3 days ago, a guy known by most of the kids in my school, but living in New York, was killed.
Death is a happening, yeah I understand that, but that's not what this is about.

The manner of death is quite saddening. He and his friend were intoxicated, and walking down the train tracks. Their reasons for doing so were unknown, but as to be expected, a train came by and struck them over. One is dead, and the other one is in critical condition.

As you can imagine, assholes and local jokesters have been taking this shit far.
On the only youtube video of Connor (the boy who was killed) [where he is "leaning with it"], we find a number of comments such as these:

--

"Here is a poem I wrote.

Roses are red
Connor is blue
He got hit by a fucking train and died."

--

"dont lean with it when the trains coming"

--

"He should have trained himself to dodge large objects."

--

"THERE ONCE WAS A BOY FROM NANUET
WHO SAW A TRAIN AND THOUGHT HE COULD HANDLE IT
HE TRIED A HEADLOCK
BUT THE TRAIN DIDN'T STOP
AND NOW he's fucking dead."

--

"He thought it would swerve around him"

--

"BRB TRAIN"

--

"I choo..choo.chooooose you!"

--

at last, someone talks sense:

"shut the fuck up all you fucking assholes
you guys are probably gross and have no lives
like go fucking die. you guys dont dserve to live after saying all this shit.
fucking faggots.
everyone probably hatesyou"

to which someone replies...

"Not as much as that train hated Connor."

Now, is there a point to this thread? Yeah.
What's your opinion on this?

RIP bro.

I didn't personally know the kid, so I can't feel above average sympathy, and that shit is internet-funny, but wrong.

Intoxination? That's not a bad death. I know someone who was castrated slowely and he lost all his blood and died.

when one of my friends died aload of kids starting making rumors that he had killed himself. one of them was that he'd tried killing himself with an air rifle (earlier in the year someone else had shot him point blank with one) and that this time he'd hung himself even though the actual cause of death was death from exposure. so aload of my friends went around and beat the people up. we all felt better after that.

Hey look! Another unoriginal signature from and unfunny nobody on the BBS! You sure don't see that often.

I'm surprised. Most of the time, Youtube comments are incoherent babble, but those are actually pretty funny. The "Not as much as that train hated Connor" was hilarious.

People need to stop treating death as if it was sacred. Yes, someone died, but people die every damn day. It's not special. When people die from doing something exceedingly dumb, then it is special, and we all have a big laugh about it and are thankful that we're not foolish enough to do that. Think of me what you will, but if you've ever laughed at one of the "Darwin awards", then you're no better than I.

Someone once asked me why I call myself Unimportant. Simple, I said. As a nihilist, that's what I see everyone and everything as. In the end, we are all Unimportant.
