RIP Dwayne Haskins

His death is an unmitigated tragedy for those who loved him, regardless of the circumstances of his passing. To them, his life and death is not a morality tale for any stranger to tell.

You should try to be more respectful of the friends and family who are grieving their great loss. Some of them are grieving the loss of the young man who was once their little boy who they have loved unconditionally since the moment he was born. Just try to imagine how you would feel right now if you were in their shoes and be kind.

If you have kids you definitely understand the pain a parent could go through. Burying your child (even as a grown adult) is still your baby.

Yes, I think they might. They lived in the D.C. suburbs where Dwayne grew up.

You overrate the reach of fan forum sites.

But regardless, to be clear, I'm not writing a narrative on Haskins yet as we are still awaiting more facts. I'm interested in toxicology from the autopsy, I want to understand if he was inebriated. Until then it's too soon to lay down much of a narrative.

Of course you're right - people that know him feel the emotion of the loss - as would people who know us would of us. That's all that matters to them. But even within that, there's room for circumstances to impact how the family feels about it. Look no further than suicide to understand how a family can harbor resentment, disappointment, and perhaps even blame themselves for wanting to do something differently.

My kids are now teens, but if my daughter ran into the street at age four and got hit by a car, I'd probably always wonder if I should have done something differently.

The circumstances definitely matter. I don't know what the Haskins circumstances are yet. But everyone in the world passes judgment on everyone for everything, this will be no different when the information comes to light.

My uncle was killed by a drunk driver when I was two years old, and my upbringing reflected that. I was raised to know better. No, I never did any of those things. And it's upsetting to hear, by the tone of your question, that in your mind doing some of these things is somewhat expected of youthful people. You sound like you're normalizing it.

I don't wish you were in an accident, let alone a fatal one. But I wish the police caught you.

So basically what you're saying is you're perfect. You never did anything in your life that put you at risk.. I'm just not buying that at all. But whatever, if it boosts your ego in a chat room then have at it.

And normalize is your word. My word was mistakes, young people make them.

Why thank you sf69.

No I can definitively say I haven't done anything that would qualify as putting my life in danger. I did see my friends do things like drive when they shouldn't have. Always pissed me off and I've lost friends over it before (for the best).

Like I said I come from a family who was stung by pain from that particular action, so maybe I'm different. Driving while under the influence is not uncommon, and I get your point. But yeah, do something like that and it ends your life or another's, and you're damn right it should be more than a footnote in the book that was your life.

Like it or not, you can be defined by a mistake. If more people thought that way, maybe driving drunk would be a bit more uncommon.

Good for anyone that has managed to live a saintly life and avoided any situations that could have led to serious injury or worse. I know I'm not one of those people.
