Who is this guy and why is his death any more newsworthy than anyone else who died in a car wreck? Get a life, losers.
This is what happens when you drive like a jackass…….
Pretty amazing that so many Jackass fans now want everybody to show a little sensitivity. Ain’t so funny when the pendulum swings, huh? And it always swings.
I read two sides of the fence here. One side saying “serves him right” and the other side saying “have some respect”. Which side do I sit on I wonder. I know all death is a tragedy, but think of the lives that have been saved by kids NOT copying their role model in excessive drinking, either with or without a car.
Like it or not, this guy was a role model to our kids, though in my view a very bad one, maybe this will teach them to think first.
Dunn and Done.
WTF is wrong with you people Jumping to conclusions. I think the main thing to remember here is that this is an accident.
What conclusions are people jumping to?
so … he accidentally drove drunk?
Where is everyone getting this idea he was drunk I’m pretty sure that want in the news what so ever dumbasses
Well there are plenty of other idiots out there to take his place
I love all the defenders saying he made “a mistake”, leave him alone. No. Screwing up someone’s order at a restaurant is a mistake. Drinking 10 beers and getting behind the wheel, esp. with a passenger, is not “a mistake”.
Ryan Dunn was a person like any of us, but I find this a disturbing indicator of what we consider to be newsworthy. The dumbing down of a nation becomes instantly apparent when a man whose claim to fame is shoving a toy car up his ass dominates a news cycle with his fatal accident. An accident, by the way, that took the life of his best friend. I don’t celebrate his death, but nothing about this is tragic. It’s all too predictable, and doesn’t need to be reported on when so many other issues of consequence deserve this kind of attention.
So the coroner confirmed that both Dunn & Hartwell are idiots. I am just glad no one else was hurt.
It is a sad thing.. Everyone makes mistakes.. We can only hope that the family and friends will get through this.. I dont understand why people have to be so cruel.. He paid for his mistakes with his life.
I am just surprised Steve-O is still alive. Anyone else here agree?
Hell, I am even surprised I am still around!!
Jackass fan or not, no one deserves to die. He may have made a bad choice, but as of right now no one knows that for sure. I have yet to read where it says he was drunk or even drinking. Until the results come back who is anyone to judge him. For all of you people who talk about how he deserves it and he’s an idiot. I’m sure all of you have been idiots at one time or another and everyone one of you has made a stupid decision in your life at some time and lived with the consequences. RIP Ryan Dunn and my condolences to his family and friends.
Tell that to his passenger to live with the consequences. They tweeted pictures of him drinking that night before the accident.
The irresponsible jerk is just lucky he didn’t kill a family in their minivan while recklessly driving drunk. As someone who who has had two friends killed by drunk drivers, I have no sympathy. Screw him, he got what was coming to him.
Blh blah blah blah…The toy car bit was effin funny. It would be even funnier to see how many here would shove 2 toy cars up their poop-chute for a couple hundred thou. Long live Dunn
Sad thing is, he was picked up for a DUI before, so he obviously doesn’t learn his lesson and he didn’t take drunk driving seriously. Luckily he only killed himself and the idiot that decided to get in the car with his drunk ass. He could have killed innocent people.
