Does that make you feel good? To pass your shitty pompous judgement on two kids who just wanted to have fun and died? Have you never done something that could be filed under "seemed like a good idea at the time"? That's what teenagers do. Take risks, wild chances. Tresspassing is such a horrible crime. Had they lived, you'd want them in jail you smug bastard. Shame on you and the other people who seem to feel they got what they deserved.

Actually it does not make me feel good at all. It does seem like breaking the rules, taking life threatening risks, and acting foolishly are not behaviors that I want teenagers, whose brains are still developing, to model. So when a person does those things, I personally, would refrain from calling that person a “role model”. My comment is entirely about that single phrase being used for these two unfortunate children.
