Let my people jump!

Teens leaping for thrills in garage jumping trend.
Local 6 News reported that the thrill seekers are vaulting themselves between garages in downtown Orlando.
Tim Bargfrede told Local 6 News that he was following friends when he attempted to garage jump and did not make it to the other side. Bargfrede fell six stories and was knocked unconscious on impact.
“I just didn’t make it,” Bargfrede said.
Bargfrede survived the 80-foot fall but was injured.
Naturally, this is the city’s fault because they haven’t provided safety fences.
“There was a very, very short length of fence that was completely ineffective in preventing this from happening,” D’Assaro said.
Since Bargfrede fell, the City of Orlando erected a partial fence but there’s still room for someone to take a dangerous dive.
The family says that’s not good enough and that both garages need to take responsibility before a garage jumper loses his life.
I say, take down the fence, let them jump! We need as many stupid people out of the gene pool as possible – and the sooner the better!

Yes, we do want them out of the gene pool. It’s called natural selection. In fact, the buildings should help and put up concrete spikes in the walkways between the garages, so when the kids fall – they just DIE.
And what the hell ever happened to just getting in the back of the pick-up truck, driving to the park and getting drunk on the playground? It worked for me when I was a kid.
Stupid kids these days deserve what they get.

Lay 5 to win 1 that these same kids who garage jump are the same ones who laugh hysterically whenever they read about some Darwin Award they’ve received via e-mail…
“OH MAN! Didja read this funny Darwin Award?!? It’s about some idiot who jumped… from a… whoa… gar– oh. Hmm, that sounds familiar. No wait, dude, that’s not funny.”

These kids should try better habits, like maybe drugs.
