[Link](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/20/ryan-dunn-dead-jackass-star-car-crash_n_880322.html) So he is seen drinking hours before the crash and was likely speeding. Fuck him. I’m glad that waste of oxygen is dead. His little fucking joyride could have got a lot more people hurt than actually were. Now if only morons like him would drop dead in ways that didn’t put others at risk. ---

He made me laugh. So far you haven’t shown anything even close to that quality to make think you aren’t just wasting oxygen. ---

His passenger died too. Jackass. Yeah, it’s sad, a tragedy, and I’m not glad he’s dead, but he should have taken responsibility and not put someone else at risk too. ---

I’m not glad he’s dead. I’m generally not glad when anybody dies. But there are those that you’ll never see me shed a tear over either. This guy is one … mostly because, before today, I had no idea who he was, but I’ve read the obits and things today and he sounds like he was a real piece of work. Died drinking and driving? Whodathunk? ---

> [@Indygrrl](#): > > You’re a fucking dick. I’m a dick? I’m not one one went out drinking, got behind the wheel of a sports cars, then start doing 100 mph. He’s the dick. He got himself and his passenger killed. I don’t care how cruel or heartless people think I am for being happy he’s dead. More people like him need to die in ways that don’t hurt other people. The world would be better off without them ---

He seemed like a good guy, but yeah, in general I agree he had it coming. I’m just glad a person doing something stupid only resulted in his own death. ---

The world would be better off without them He was likely just being selfish. Most people don’t intentionally plan on dying in a crash. You, on the other hand, are intentionally enjoying someone else’s death and ignoring the death of one other person all because you feel vindictive towards a person you’ve never met and has never done anything to you. Oh, and you do care what we think, or you wouldn’t keep saying you don’t as a disclaimer. If you just didn’t care, you wouldn’t keep trying to defend yourself. That said, I don’t know who this guy is, and I don’t care to find out if he inspires this much hatred. If this guy is as bad as you claim, surely ignorance is what he deserves. ---

It is quite surprising to me that it took this long from the beginning of Jackass (what was that, like 12 years ago?) for anyone of that crew to have such a costly accident. ---

All I’ve seen is a single picture of him drinking two hours earlier and people _assuming_ he was speeding. Is there more evidence now? I haven’t read any more since I first heard about it this morning. ---

I haven’t read any more since I first heard about it this morning. Not to rely too heavily on inductive reasoning, but when I hear about someone drinking heavily, and within hours their car ends up in flames, I naturally leap to one conclusion: a wizard did it. ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > Not to rely too heavily on inductive reasoning, but when I hear about someone drinking heavily, and within hours their car ends up in flames, I naturally leap to one conclusion: a wizard did it. But that’s what I’m saying, other then a single picture of him with a drink in his hand, I’ve heard nothing about him ‘drinking heavily’ other then what seems to be assumptions. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not denying it may have been the case, I’m just trying to find out what happened. I’d hate to blame it on alcohol and speed only later to find out that drink in his hand was all he had all night and he died as a result of something unrelated to it.
