So it appears Roger Ebert wasn't too quick in his judgment. Ryan Dunn was driving drunk and going more than 130 mph at the time of the crash. He got famous for doing stupid and irresponsible stunts, but this time he paid the ultimate price for it.
I don't understand why people are defending him and saying he deserves respect because he's dead. Are you kidding me? He was an idiot, he did something stupid and the only reason he's dead is because of this. This was not an accident, but an irresponsible act, with predictable consequences.
What makes it even worse is that he killed another person. He doesn't deserve pity, honour or respect. He got exactly what he deserved. What if he hit another car? A family? We are lucky he crashed into the woods and not into someone else.
The only victim in this case was Zachary Hartwell and even he wasn't entirely innocent - he should have stopped Dunn from driving, or at least not gotten into a car with him, especially knowing his reputation.
So instead of people complaining that Ebert was being insensitive, or whatever with his Tweet, how about nominating Dunn for a Darwin Award (http://darwinawards.com/darwin/). Thank you Ryan for taking yourself out of the gene pool.
I agree wholeheartedly.
