At around 3:00 this morning, Jackass star Ryan Dunn, 34, died in high-speed car accident after a night of drinking.
Unfortunately, in an effort to pay tribute to the masochistic comedian, a few confused folks have taken to Facebook thinking that the late, bearded Ryan Dunn is The Hangover’s bearded bizzaro Zack Galifianakis.
Even Ryan was well-aware of the confusion:
So what do you think?
Hopefully Ryan’s accident can serve as an important reminder that no one, even a man who commanded automobiles so fiercely that he shoved one up his own ass, is immune to the dangers of drunk driving.
UPDATE: According to sources, Dunn’s BAC was .196 at the time of the accident (the legal limit in PA is .08), and he was traveling around 130 mph when his vehicle collided with a guardrail, landed in the woods, and burst into flames. Alcohol was the only substance in found in his system.
Ryan posted a picture of himself drinking with friends to his Tumblr hours before his death. It’s been taken down, but we have it below the jump.
RIP, dude.

Copy & paste this:
If he died drink driving then he deserved it.
I’m just glad he didn’t hit anyone else, he had a passenger too who died.
It’s gonna be a wicked hangover in the morning.
No. Just No.
Lol.
Too soon, bro. Too soon.
HA! XD
WIN
That sucks that he also killed someone, they should of stopped him from driving drunk. All I can say is that really fricking sucks.
Cass?
i know that he shouldn’t have been drunk driving, but i think its pretty screwed that you, and others, are saying he deserved it…
Ditto.
I concur. If it was one of your loved ones who died drunk driving, and I said they deserved it. You would be so upset.
Actually, I’d agree with you. If you drink and drive, even if you’re my BEST FRIEND in the whole world, you deserve it. Nothing makes me lose respect for you faster.
Agree!
I lost a relative and a good friend because of them drinking and driving as sad as it was to lose them they were preventable deaths and they knew the possible consequences to their actions. Though I personally wouldn’t say they deserved to die they were completely at fault for their deaths and nothing will change that. Others though openly say they deserved it and I don’t condemn them for their opinions because their opinions are valid even if I don’t agree with them.
Actually, i’d probably agree with you. If someone dies as a direct result of their own actions… they pretty much deserve it. 130mph at more than double the legal blood alcohol limit? DUH
I lost a friend who was drunk driving and I still say he deserved it. I miss him like crazy but its better he died than someone innocent.
In Dunns case he sadly took someone elses life, however, if that person knew he was drinking he shouldn’t have gotten in the car with him, so he’s a bit to blame for his own death as well. Harsh as it is, it’s true.
i know that he shouldn’t have been drunk driving, but i think its pretty screwed that MEeeeeeeee, and others, are saying he deserved it… seriously.
That didn’t seem very necessary, considering that mary-jane posted before you.
If you were on the mods’ watchlist for whatever reason, disregard this post.
That is all. Good night/afternoon/morning/what ever ungodly time you have found to browse cheezburger network.
i know that he shouldn’t have been drunk driving, but i think its pretty screwed that all of you, and others, are saying he deserved it… unseriously!
Yeah i think we get it now.
I disagree. He shouldn’t have driven drunk, but for people to say he deserved it is messed up.
I think he deserved it.
I think people saying he deserved it are being harsh.
The people who are saying he deserved it, deserve a load of replies stating that nobody ‘deserves’ to die.
Sidenote: Ha! My comment has the most deserves-in-one-sentence.
I completely agree. We all make stupid mistakes, this includes those saying he deserved it. Nobody deserves to die for making a mistake; whether it be Ryan Dunn or any other drink driver, etc.
My heart goes out to his friends and family. I have no doubt that he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
Absolutely, no one deserves to die for risking the lives of everyone on the road, and potentially killing your loved ones and mine. I mean how terrible of people to be grateful that he didn’t take our a car full of innocent people.
OK. You died because you made a mistake while skydiving. You happened to land in a heavily populated place. People are celebrating your death because you did something stupid and are saying you deserved it.
Right, because skydiving is just the same as irresponsible drunk driving? This is far from being a valid comparison.
I dunno, it’s pretty damn stupid not to pay attention to the instructions while skydiving.
If you think its ok to blame him. It is.
Nobody forced him to do it.
Meh, it’s not too far off really if you think about it…. You are, after all, leaping out of a perfectly good aircraft….
lulz
Skydiving with a nuclear bomb maybe. Driving drunk is like driving with a nuclear bomb (or other assorted weaponery) in the passenger seat. It’s being in control of a deadly weapon that has the ability, the potential to kill, hurt and maim other innocent people including children. Skydiving just hurts the idiot that fails to follow directions.
Unless he falls on someone
Yeah but then it’s just bad luck in that case XD
And the chances of that are??
When you skydive you usually jump high above a set of fields.
The chances are mindbogglingly small that you would hit someone.
Nukes have quite the range, nowadays.
I would just say it’s like skydiving while drunk. Both are inherently dangerous to begin with, but alcohol makes both a whole lot more dangerous.
also, i think saying “he deserved it” with a grunt/snort is far from celebration.
and also robots.
Horse.
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
Driving drunk isn’t a skydiving mistake. If you’re going out drinking you arrange transportation beforehand.
RIP Dunn.
Well said Katie! Unfortunately, pple are self righteous and ignorant, and are often blinded by it. They don’t have all of the info, but are ready to condemn and judge him, based on speculation, which that there is enough to see that these pple are truly not too smart at all, definitely not as smart as they think they are. Someone who was intelligent and possessed any amount of knowledge would be able to evaluate the situation just as you did…but, i think it is the age and maturity level here, that leads pple to say such cold, silly, douchbag-esque comments…
“age and maturity level”
Says the person who is using “pple” as an abbreviated form of people, a six letter word.
Since when does abbreviation define age or maturity?
A.S.L.(M.)?
28, yes please, 8 inches.(I don’t know how they work, ask a Mormon)
Yes, we definitely need to ban the dashboard from cars. All those lights and gauges are a distraction. There’s no reason anyone should know empirically how fast they’re driving.
+65
*pulls over skyman for doing +65 in a +40 zone*
*Pulls over pirate john for going as fast as skyman to pull him over in a +40 zone, only I go 40*
Well said.
It also reminded me of a television programme I saw once. Some bloke did an experiment to see what was worse; drink driving or using a mobile phone and driving. Using a mobile is actually worse.
I also agree with your statement on how people are too quick to judge. They have to have a good old b1tch from their ivory towers. There is no proof he was drunk. For all we know it could have been ginger beer or some non alcoholic drink. Nobody even knows the full story.
Except that they tested him and his BAC was .19, which is more than double the legal limit. So yes, there is proof that he was drunk.
I don’t think anyone here is defending texting. In fact I’m quite sure those who object to drunk driving would also object to texting.
Also, texting is only dangerous WHILE you’re texting. Drunk driving, on the other hand, is dangerous from the moment you start driving until the moment you stop.
Did your studies compare distance traveled by drunk drivers who caused accidents vs. texting drivers who caused accidents?
I bet those studies just looked at the number of accidents caused by both groups (drunks vs. texters) and concluded the amount was the same. Two problems with that:
1) Drunk drivers are more likely to drive short distances: there are bars everywhere (on average people don’t go to bars far from home) and a lot of people will drive while drunk if they’re not going far (“It’s ok, I live 5 minutes away”).
On the other hand, people who drive a short distance are more likely to wait until they arrive at their destination to send/answer text messages. People who text are more likely to be people who travel long distances and who can’t wait an hour to send a message.
2) Drunk driving is constant, a drunk driver is impaired during the entire trip. A driver who’s texting isn’t necessarily texting every second and he’s only dangerous while texting, not during the whole trip.
That’s why it’s important to compare both groups to a common variable, such as distance traveled. Until I see the study you mention, I will doubt it’s findings.
Your other examples suck.
Looking in the mirror – actually important to prevent accidents (I hope you mean the rear-view mirror, not the mirror behind the ‘put on my make-up while I drive mirror”).
Changing the radio station – as with texting, it takes only a few seconds, it doesn’t occur during the entire trip. It can be done at a red light, and it isn’t as complicated as writing a text message (basically it’s just turning a button, and the driver should be familiar with that button if he uses the vehicle frequently). I’m not saying it isn’t dangerous, in fact anything that distracts the driver is dangerous, but you really can’t compare it to drunk driving.
I’m worried about the way you drive as you seem to think texting while driving is normal and you don’t seem to have a problem with it.
+100, logic is a deadly weapon when it comes to debates
the studies I have seen were under controlled conditions (I think parts were done on a skidpan and others using computer tests for hazard perception, reaction time etc) and measured reaction times, risk perception etc comparing texting/ using the phone to drinking.
One constant was that the subjects had very little perception of the extent to which their driving was impaired.
As you say, it’s very hard to say definitively whaich is worse, but waht can be said with certianty is that both do impair driving ability and both are implicated in large numbers of accidents.
I understand that further studies have shown that using a hand-free phone whiele driving is only marginally better then using a hand-held, so it is safer not to phone at all.
Going back to the main point – I don’t know whether Dunnwas under the influence or not. Even if he was, I don’t think he deserved to die. Drinking is a choice, as is driving, so I have absolutely no problem with drunk-drivers (or others who kill becasue they were too busy texting or facebooking or yakking on the phone or speeding, come to that) dacing heavy criminal penelties.
Obviously the level of impairment varies, as does the effect and the total risk – someone who is very drunk may have incredibly slow reaction times and be unaware of hazards around them, but if they are also only doing 20 mph they are going to cause much less harm if they crash tahn someone who is phoning or texting and crashes at 40mph
And then there are vehicles like mine that have the volume and such on the back of the steering wheel so you never have to move your hands or look away from the road (for radio/CD/volume).
Boom. Headshot.
tl;dr
Amen Katie !!! I know people would never connect the danger in texting the same as drinking. I feel the same way…….someone texting has killed innocent people before as well. The only difference is that drunk driving has been an issue for a long time while texting is the new danger on our streets.
What multiple studies? This is a first I’ve heard of this. And upon a google search there is only one American test and it is done by car and driver *hah* using a 42 year old man. I mean no disrespect but who can text better, a 42 year old man or a 34 yr old (or any younger age for that matter). Next time try not to pull nonexistent statistics out of the air to appear more smart. He did a dumb thing, thankfully didn’t hurt any innocent people (I’d hardly call an idiot passenger innocent after getting into the car with a probably less drunk guy). Bottom line, He would be lucky if he didn’t die and he got what he risked.
one stdy on texting & driving is here:
http://www.trl.co.uk/facilities/driving_simulation/case_studies/Dangers_of_Texting_Whilst_Driving.htm
Are you insane? Texting while driving is illegal in many states because it is just as bad as drunk driving. But try all that WHILE driving your porsche over 100 miles per hour in the middle of the night.
I live three miles from the crash. He put everyone on the road in danger. Regardless of whether he was drunk, he was going 80 miles over the speed limit (which is 35 on that road)
Thank you. That is the point no-one seems too interested in. It’s all about whether he was drunk or not. You could put a sober person behind the wheel of a car going 80 over the speed limit and they would still probably crash. If he was also drunk at the time, then his chances of survival were greatly diminished. Where as I’m sad for his family & that of his passenger, I don’t feel sorry for him. Would you feel sorry for someone who blew their brains out after they decided to play Russian Roulette?
Actually, Yes i would. I actually care about other people, unlike most people on this site
Yes, it’s terrible he died, and its terrible his passenger also died, but its NOT terrible for people to be grateful there were no other cars involved. Driving drunk, or high, is a stupid move and so is getting in the car with an impaired driver. They died, but ultimately it was their decision to take that risk. Do you actually think its wrong for someone to be glad a car full of innocent people who didn’t make a dumb decision like that didn’t die as well?
YES. Exactly. I think people get upset when they hear that he “deserved” to die. It IS a blessing that no other cars were involved.
So then I can say he deserved it and anyone of the above deserved it? Thank you for clarifying that for me Katie. I believe what you are talking about is natural selection and thank god for evolutionary laws. Yep I sleep better any time someone takes themselves out of the gene pool thanks to their own stupidity. Because it means there is that much more of a chance for me to collect Social Security. Amen.
Quite frankly I’m surprised natural selection didn’t get him sooner. All the Jackass nonsense should’ve done him in a long time ago.
Agreed. I’m actually surprised that his demised was something so common as drunk driving when he’s done other, much stupider and painful (but no more dangerous than drunk driving, which more or less takes the cake). Makes me think of when Steve Irwin died – we all expected him to be taken out by a croc or some other such dangerous creature, and of all things it’s a sting ray that takes him out. I’ve seen only a few examples of Ryan’s Jackass antics myself, but I’m actually surprised that his end was brought by drunk driving and not something amongst the “Jackass nonsense” he’s pulled before.
Yes, any dumb ass who texts, talks on the phone, shaves, reads the paper, gets dressed, or some crazy combo of all, while driving is just asking to be killed in an auto accident. I feel the same way about those people as I do about drunk drivers, they are a danger to themselves and to everyone else on the road while they are driving, if they die from it, GOOD, one less idiot on the road!
I feel the same way about religious people. Since religious people are statistically more likely to be violent, every time someone who is religious dies, I celebrate, because….well….GOOD , one less idiot in the world.
Oh, and also people from Louisiana (the most statistically violent state in the US). So every time one of them dies….same thing.
Funny, I would’ve figured Florida… hmm, have to change my ‘obit’ feeds now.
You sir are named appropriately. Douche is the first thing that came to mind after reading your post. Gross generalizations are also the mark of an idiot. I hope you are shooting blanks.
I do believe that was sarcasm, dear.
Yes, because Ryan Dunn is clearly the responsible type. I’m sure he just had 1 drink and said “that’s my limit, i’m driving.
If you endanger the lives of others, i’m not going to shed a tear if you die. Texting whilst driving is just plain retarded, and it helps cleanse the gene pool when they smash their dad’s $70,000 Lexus and die. These peopel are told time and time again that these things will endanger your own life as well as the lives of other people on the road and bystanders as well. Good riddence to the lot of them.
If he killed one of your loved ones who was just standing by minding his own business, i guarantee you wouldn’t be spouting the garbage. You’d want the chair brought back as punishment. Stop preaching to others and enter the real world.
^This
A drunk driver dying on the road is mildly unfortunate, but entirely avoidable (don’t do it, jackasses!). The tragedy is when they take someone else with them.
the tragedy is someone died.
dont you mean someone died the tragedy is
what about airplane pilots? They endanger peoples lives every day…
Simply not true. Looking in the mirror makes the driver more aware of their surroundings, so it’s safe move. Changing the radio, fair enough it distracts you… for 2 seconds? Texting shouldn’t be done while driving at all, but even so it only takes a moment. Drunk driving lasts the entire duration of the drive… how can it possibly be WORSE than texting?
All those teens sure did deserve it. How DARE they risk my life or anyone else for that matter.
BTW, he was going >100MPH, so even if he wasn’t drinking he STILL deserved it.
I think the phrase many are contending is “deserved”. I don’t shed a tear in this situation, nor do I feel particularly sorry for him. That being said, I would be hesitant to say that he deserved to die. Does that mean that we should enact the death penalty for any crime involving negligence that could cause death to others? After all, they “deserve” death.
If all of us deserve to die for ANY action that could potentially hurt/kill others, I think most people at one time in their lives have deserved to die. I think it’s very easy to judge others from the outside, without knowing anything about them or their personal lives. What if he was suffering from severe depression, or alcoholism? Would he still deserve it?
Anyway; I like to think of this as a cautionary tale. It’s something to use as an example of how dangerous drunk driving is. I don’t, however, see myself as god-like enough to pass life and death judgements on others.
^This on so many levels.
exactly right. driving while texting, or talking on the phone, with lack of sleep, or just not paying attention is driving under the influence of something as well. and honestly people have fallen asleep at the wheel and killed people before but no one would blame them for taking the wheel even though they were super tired. people need to stop the hate especially because most if not all of these people have done these things listed while driving and therefore under the influence
Sorry. You put my life at risk, and I’m not going to “stop the hate”. You text or yak on the phone, shave, do your makeup, speed, drive recklessly in general, and I’m going to tell you exactly what I think of you.
If someone takes a loaded gun out onto a public street and aims it at random people, pulls the trigger, only to have to misfire and kill themself….. do you mourn them? I feel bad for his buddy, who wasn’t driving, I feel bad for his family, and his friends. I don’t feel sorry for the guy with the loaded weapon who pulled the trigger only to kill himself.
given dunn’s history even i don’t think it’s a terribly bad idea to assume he was drunk at the time; even if he wasn’t the cops have stated his car was most likely going over 100 MPH… so even w/o booze he’s still at fault.
also, i don’t text and drive.
also robots.
also ducks.
Regardless of BAC level, you can be DUI or ‘drunk driving’ at any level of alcohol. “Legal limit” is a misnomer.
You can get a DUI on a horse, a skateboard, a bicycle or a boat.
Regardless, a mistake does not deserve a fiery death.
You can’t get a drunk driving on a horse in Missouri. In our state the law is, it has to have a motor to be drunk driving. In small towns, a horse is preferable. I know more than one guy who gets drunk with his buddies, they throw him over the back of his horse, and the horse takes him home. At that point the horse has a lot more sense.
Jesus died for our sins
So if one of your family members was at a pedestrian crossing and some moronic teenager decided to text and not pay attention to proper road rules and ran over them?
Yes it’s easy to go a few k’s over the limit, but if you are properly speeding, drinking, texting, putting make up on, or anything that endangers yourself and everyone around you, then you completely deserve what’s coming to you. If you don’t study for an exam, you fail and you deserve it. Don’t follow the rules everyone else is meant to follow on the road, you die, too bad. Lets just hope you didn’t take out anyone else with you.
“So I guess all those teens who’ve died texting and driving deserve to die too?”
No, I don’t think they “deserve it”, nor do I think drunk drivers deserve it. No one deserves to die, period. But do I think it’s his fault? Yes. And the same with anyone who dies while texting and driving.
These things are illegal for a reason. Would you still think he was innocent if he had hit another car or run someone over? Bad choices like drunk driving (and texting while driving) affect more than just one person’s life.
I wish for Ryan Dunn and his passenger to Rest in Peace, and I am sorry for their families, but this WAS preventable. No one is wrong for saying it was, in fact, his fault that he died.
You missed the part where they were going over 110 mph.
Wait, if I can’t look in the mirror, how to I check them for cars? Or if I don’t look out the side window of my car to check my blind spot how can I make proper lane changes?
I guess looking straight ahead at the road while driving without any care to the cars to the side and rear of me is the best practice.
Yeah…. Texting or talking on the phone while driving are entirely different from looking in the mirror, which is actually part of the driving. Now, if you were only endangering yourself then I’d call it evolution but if you also endanger others is where you cross the line in my opinion.
And nobody driving sober deserves to die because of his stupidity. I have no sympathy for people who drive drunk. They’ve ruined too many innocent lives.
@Me the King: I beg to differ… A buttload of people die because of sober people’s stupidity. I live in south Florida and I have nearly been run off the road so many times because of dumbasses who don’t check their mirrors or just think they are better than other people and cut you off. Just cuz ur sober doesn’t mean it’s ok to be a retard on the road.
what sober people deserve to die because of someone deciding to drive drunk? you realize this is what you just argued to be the case. Having no sympathy for drunk drivers is different from wanting them to die. I feel for his family and friends, the ones that have to live with the pain, but he got off easy
I doubt you would say that about a random unknown gangster who was drunk driving and killed a law abiding family. By that logic, every crime is just a mistake and nobody deserves to die for anything. He chose to drive drunk, he chose to die. It has nothing to do with deserving it.
this is what keeps me going during the day. Dudes that can think a bit before they speak.
kudos coma for making my day.
Don’t mean to destroy your day, but the dude you describe did deign to disregard that Dunn did deaded another dude. I don’t decree that Dunn deserved to die, but deading dudes with dangerous driving does describe a dumbass.
It’s not a “mistake” to drive drunk. A mistake is when you hit “reply all” by accident. Drunk driving is a choice. He made the decision to put his and others’ lives at risk. I’m not saying I don’t feel bad for him – I do. But let’s be clear about the difference between a mistake and a choice.
I don’t think he DESERVED it, per se, but I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy. People that drive drunk know what they’re getting into. There’s never any excuse to do it, no matter what anyone says. So yes, it’s always sad when someone dies, especially when they’re young, but I just can’t be sad/upset about it.
The “alcohol free” comment on one of those statuses kind of irked me though. You don’t have to be alcohol free to be smart enough to not drive drunk.
People that drive drunk know what they’re getting into.
Not necessarily. As you’ve said, they’re drunk. They may not even realize they’ve gotten into a car.
This is true, but it is easily preventable. That’s what designated drivers and cabs are for. Give up your keys before drinking, or SOMETHING. Again, there is NO excuse for drunk driving. None.
You stupid f*ck. They knew what they were doing before they decided to get drunk.
Am I being called to defend my flippancy?
I don’t think you know drunk. It doesn’t seem likely to me that many people go out of an evening with the plan of ‘f!rst I shall get Sheen-faced, then drive home.’
All kinds of really bad ideas suddenly don’t seem quite so bad while drunk, and one is also more susceptible to suggestion – such as ‘Faster! Faster!’ and ‘Bet you 150 of your local currency I will win a road race back you your place.’
“you your place” doesn’t make sense. I probably meant ‘to your place’.
Well said. Just because someone did something stupid doesn’t mean they deserve to die. As katie said, its possible that he wasn’t actually over the legal limit, and therefore not considered a drunk driver.
Even if he was. Is drinking and driving stupid? Yes. Should he have had a designated driver, or called a cab? Yes. Does that mean that he deserved to die? Hell no. No one deserves to die for one mistake, but unfortunately that doesn’t mean they don’t ever die for it. Everyone saying he deserved it is ignorant, self richeous and cruel. You really need to stop and think about what you are saying. What if it was one of your loved ones that had died? Would you be saying they deserved it?
He didn’t deserve to die per se, but I’d rather have him kill himself than risk to have him kill a pedestrian a few blocks further.
If he didn’t have that accident and had killed someone a bit later, we’d be thinking “If someone had to die because he was drunk and driving, it should have been him”.
Of course the best outcome is that nobody gets killed, but if someone has to get hurt then it’s a lot more fair that the person who made the mistake pays the price.
“Dunn died in a car crash on the West Chester Bypass (US 322) within West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania, when his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 slid off the road, hit a tree, and burst into flames. Reports from TMZ state that he posted a photo of himself drinking with friends a few hours before onto Twitter. Police said that Dunn was probably driving at over 100 mph at the time of the accident. An unidentified occupant of the vehicle was also found dead at the scene. WKST-FM reported that both men had suffered severe burns; Dunn was reportedly identified by his tattoos and facial hair.”
This, to me, are the actions of someone that sort of brought it on themselves. Just sayin’.
No. They went out to a bar with the purpose of drinking and he’d had at least 6 drinks and probably more. When you’re going out TO drink you make the arrangements then; you don’t take your car. This wasn’t a stupid mistake, it was negligent and yes, criminal. I love Ryan Dunn and I’m sorry this happened, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to falsely defend his actions.
Dunno about you odd people, but when I’m drunk, I know I’m drunk, and no matter how low my inhibitions may be, I know not to drive.
Nothing, I repeat nothing, will make me drive from the point I start drinking.
Hear, hear!
Good for you! Unfortunately alcohol does not affect everyone in exactly the same way.
Trolled, suckas.
would you also say that if he hit your mother/sister in an accident and they would die? I lost my brother because of a tool who got behind the wheel when he was drunk. So yes, he got what he deserved, better him than an innocent victim, and that doesnt mean i think his family and friends got what they deserved, i hope they find a way to get peace with this
I totally agree…the guy died people…no matter how a person goes it’s sad I don’t believe you’d be saying the same thing if it was your parent or friend that died the same way…pathetic…R.I.P. Dunn you are always going to be a legend
I agree. His friends should of stoped him from leaving drunk, unless of course, they were also drunk. Anyway, to the point, that sucks.
Know what also sucks? Vacuums. And your mother.
I just barely managed to say all of that ten times fast…
I have to say, if this was a story about a random person that got manky drunk and hopped into a car, the comments would be slightly different. There would be a heck of a lot less sympathy.
Also… *self-righteous
I have had a DUI before and I deserved it and I’m glad I got it because I don’t drive drunk anymore, or after drinking at all. If you drive drunk, then you don’t appreciate your life or other’s lives. It’s sad he is dead, but it’s what he gets for driving drunk. I am more sad for his family than for him. They are the ones left behind to deal with his selfishness. Because of him, they are without a family member.
Don’t you mean drunk driving?
nope.
I drove drunk yesterday, I deserve to die. I’ll go kill myself.
If you did, you *deserve* to lose your license so you’ll stop putting people in danger with your idiocy.
since when does losing your license stop people from driving? There are plenty of people who drive with a suspended or no license at all.
You sir, are a massive douche bag.
With an appropriate avatar.
Please do!
Just because he was (speculation) that he was drunk does not means he deserves to die, rapists and child abductors deserve to die,not someone who has made a mistake and paid the greatest price for his mistake, you really should think before you speak
What if he’d killed an innocent family in his recklessness? Would it still just be “a mistake”?
While i don’t think celebrating is in order, I don’t really have sympathy for him.
Successful troll is successful
And you deserve to get drop kicked in the face down a flight of steps.
he didnt deserve to die!!!?!
how’s the view up there from your high-horse?
Police reports are in: he was twice the legal alcohol limit going 130mph. He didn’t serve to miss anything on the road (no baby deer, no precocious child chasing a ball, etc.). He was simply drunk and going too fast. The people that want to defend his actions can continue to do so: I for one feel sorry for his family and friends and the poor guy in the passenger seat, but I maintain that if this was just Jimminy-Billy-Bob from down the street we’d all be giving him a posthumous Douchebag Of The Year Award.
Seems like you’ve done some drunking yourself. Or you’re just getting drink and drunk messed up.
R.I.P.! (No jokes in here…I haz a sad)
he let plenty of em rip in his lifetime, I’m sure. (Jokes in here… I haz no sad)
xD
you get distracted easily dude.
Love the amount of people who are all “It’s soooo sad he died” but when it’s any other drunk driving moron they think “Serves em right”
Yeah that’s because they mean “I haz a sad I cannot watch more of his sh!t”, and they really don’t care about the person.
I don’t say it doesn’t serves him right (nor do I say it does), but it’s still sad that he died.
I do think its sad that he died, and I also think its sad when anyone else dies from drunk driving; be it the person who was drunk or anyone else involved in the accident. True, it is a stupid decision and if they don’t die from it I honestly hope they will learn their lesson and never do it again.
No one ever deserves to die from making one mistake.
Generally, if a person gets away with it once, he will think he can get away with it again. So the chances of the person learning from his mistake are slim to none. While I don’t agree with the people who are saying he deserves to die, I can’t necessarily agree with the fact that it’s sad. When that “one mistake” has a tendency to ruin so many innocent people’s lives, I don’t see how anyone can really have sympathy. After all, the next time he decides to drive drunk, it could be one of your friends or family members in the passenger seat…
With your logic, the passenger got what he deserved for riding a car with a drunk driver. He could have stopped him or at least not ride that car, right?
The driver was dumber than the passenger, but the passenger should have known better as well. Hell, the passenger should have argued for them both to take a cab.
“Deserved” is too strong a word to be thrown around here, but they were both knowingly risking their lives.
I agree. I refuse to drive with someone who’s been drinking. Even drunk, I know better.
no, in fact i did not say the passenger got what he deserved. In fact, I specifically said that even the driver did not deserve to die. It’s very inappropriate to insinuate such a thing.
However, as Jarin and Patrick said, it’s at the fault of the passenger to get in a car with a drunk driver.
Yes… I’m sure that was the ONLY time he drove drunk…
Wake up people! He’s probably done this a hundred times already!
One mistake my ass!
I say anyone who died from drunk driving deserved it.
They’re freaking timebombs that may explode at any time.
Good thing this bomb didn’t take anyone else with it!
I think that if you die from drunk driving you deserve every bit of what you deserve, and that goes for really any other thing along the lines or drinking, drugs, etc. But I mean come one, Ryan Dunn was a cool guy and either way it was sad D:
Easy to tell the difference between them, the eyes and the shape of their heads are way different.
especially sinc…
naw, i’ll be nice. inb4 drunk driving debate (which i have strong apenuons about)
Lol, especially since one has fully intact skin and the other is on fire?
And the fact they have different names…
And different everything.. bc they’re different people..
Also when you count the beard hair, Dun has 76 more.
*had
*bows head
Identical twins are different people.
So true.
you said it, not me.
Nice burn Cass… get it… burn… oh all of you just stfu, we’re all gonna see each other while we’re burning in he11 (if you believe in the tooth fairy and all that.)
Haha nice one! I don’t sweat stuff like going to hell.
*attaches sticky note with the word like on it to your comment.*
Aych Eee double-hockey-sticks?
HA!
What in the heck is an apenuon?
It’s like an opinion, with more a’s and e’s and fewer o’s… I think.
http://failbook.failblog.org/2011/03/30/funny-facebook-fails-one-girls-apenuon/
wtaf? i entered that URL scrambled before to get pass the filter- how did it magically turn into a valid link?
I think Cheezburger knows when you’re posting a link to another Cheezburger site and does the reattaching for you. (inb4 why? inb4 because otherwise it’s robots)
I can tell the difference with them side by side, but when I saw a pic of him earlier today (I’d never seen Ryan Dunn before), the thing that popped in my head before everything else was, “Wow, he looks a lot like Zach Galifianakis.”
It’s easy to tell the difference only if you give enough of a sh*t about either of them to look at the shape of their heads or whatever.
Random hero, ignorant fool
Oh how sad. A celebrity died. Let’s all pretend we are mourning this loss.
*R.I.P Random Celebrity*
finally, someone gets it.
[comment removed: over-sized font]
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
RIP Michael Jackson. You were true hero to me!
Shame it wasnt Bam!
his dad woulda came out and stated punching him
Oh the jokes that would ensue.
A drunk driving accident doesn’t sound like the way Bam should die though. He needs to go with more of a Bam-g!
He should die at the hand of Emeril in a pistol duel, “BAM!”
Nobody deserves to die from drinking and driving. I’m sure nobody on here as done anything stupid before.
There’s stupid, and then there’s putting your life along with everyone else’s who happen to be driving at that time at risk.
His intent was not to injure nor kill himself (or anyone else). I think saying he deserved to die is wrong.
No drunk driver has the intent to hurt someone else.
EVERY drunk driver is purposefully endangering every life with the misfortune of being in his/her path. Reckless endangerment. Selfish and even evil.
You obviously misunderstood my stance on this.
You don’t get an opinion. You look like you’re, what, 14? Shut your stupid wh*re mouth.
I don’t like you.
Lol u mad?
Kick his a$$ cass!
Yup. He mad!
The lack of intents is the main problem.
Yep.
…Which is her point?
Lol a few people took my post the wrong way.
remember, arguing on the innernetz is like ____________
Sex?
Perhaps?
Bitter, anger filled events where normally only one party is at least partially satisfied?
Haha you win dude.
You said it. Drunk fvck hit me standing on the side of the road when I was 5. Should have died, but I wanted to sue him too bad, so I lived. Love those checks every 5 years, but fvck that b@stard and any other that gets behind the wheel drunk (HEY LOOK, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE POST… did he11 freeze over?) The cane sure takes away from my bar game… some nights. I’m still holding out this is some j@ck@ss style publicity stunt… we’ll see I guess. If not, rest in peace Zach Galifianakis.
seems someone was holding that in for a while..
Nah, guys with canes are hot. I thank Hugh Laurie for making it cool again, because my right knee is shot and I will probably need to use mine more often as I approach my forties.
We’re bringing it back. ; )
That’s what they call it negligence. It’s deserved because he could have killed someone or leave him/her/them blind, paraplegic, quadraplegic, in a coma, etc. without intention, but he didn’t do all he could (or anything he could) to avoid hurting anyone. At least he didn’t killed any pedestrian or responsible driver or biker.
That mightn’t have been his intent but in the end he put everyone else on the road at risk that night. Am I going to say I’m glad he’s dead? Nope, I’m not. Am I going to say he didn’t deserve it? Nope. He took a major risk along with the consequences.
Let us put it this way:
Supposing he was arrested instead of dying, and a judge sentenced him to death. Would you be like “that’s great!”? You would not.
So, he did not deserve death. Period. End of story. Game over man, game over! End of phase. Your turn as expired. BSOD. Red ring of Death. Discussion terminated. Astalanoobage.
No I would not say “That’s great!” To show happiness in the death of another is completely sickening as far as I’m concerned. I would still think he deserved it though whether he had to have been sentenced. He took the risk and suffered the consequences.
There is a difference between being glad something happens to someone, and thinking they deserve what happens to them.
i wouldn’t show mirth any more than i showed it for the death of osama. if he did something bad enough to warrant the death penalty then yes i would say he deserved it. be sad at the loss of life, but if he drove drunk, which being out drinking shows a good possibility of, then he took the risk, and he paid the price, and whoever got in the car with him did too.
See, I will say I am glad he is dead. I will say he deserves it. Anyone that stupid deserves to die. I wish all drunk driving ended the same way… Only the people in the car are dead. Not an innocent family on the road. Besides, who cares? People probably wouldn’t even know if he wasn’t famous. Where is the bleeding heart for all of the other f***ing drunk driving idiots?
Okay, I am definiyely saying he deserved it and the passenger questionably did not. However, being stupid shouldn’t be an offense punishable by death without it being The Final Solution.
I absolutely agree that his fame should in no way mitigate the grievous nature of his offense.
I’m thinking this passenger knew Ryan was impaired, and allowing him to drive anyway was, indeed, an act of stupidity. Possibly he was in no better shape to be driving himself.
Mothers didn’t intend to shake their babies to death. The alcoholic parent didn’t mean to beat the child to death. The woman committing suicide didn’t mean for someone to break into her house and drink her arsenic. These are all offenses punishable by death under the law. We are just fortunate he didn’t take the life of someone else and go on living.
Dude, where do you live? Cause your country seems to have some weird laws.
Putting someone to death because another person broke into their house and drank some poison? By that logic, if I were a citizen of your country and someone broke into my house and ate some cheese with rat poison that I had put out for a mouse that got into my house, I would be sentenced to death?
crazier stuff has happened.
‘Mericuh
Not ‘deserve’, but inevitable, and the fact he took someone with him most likely earned him a rather toasty afterlife.
i think its common sense to NOT drink and drive. its sad he died but its better him then someone else. sorry to say.
you’re not sorry, you’re just a self-righteous d*ck.
They do look a lot a like.
But I can tell them apart from their beards.
At least he didn’t kill somebody else in the processes. What an a$s.
*process
*sigh*
He had a passenger who died.
umm… the passenger?
Well, except that he did. Read the story idiot.
Don’t really care enough to. STFU.
Uh, he DID, indeed, take one, and possibly 2 somebody elses.
Only saw the story here which doesn’t mention that. I stand even more behind my statement, then: what an a$s.
Who’s the second?
It’s too bad that he died, but he was stupid and I am glad he didn’t hit another car. It was three years ago this weekend that a family friend was killed by a drunk driver. I have no sympathy for those who drink and drive.
Ryan Dunn (jackass, hangover) is an invalid reference. Please read imdb.
uhm, he’s from jackass. Is there something I didn’t get?
I think you’re on the wrong site, you need AoT… unless you really didn’t read the whole post, in which case I’m surprised you could log onto teh Interwebz at all…
Says who?
Ok b’ys, just because he was driving drunk doesn’t mean he deserved to die. I’m glad he never hit anybody, but have a bit of respect for the one who actually did die.
He killed the passenger in his car. Same as hitting someone. Whether you believe someone deserves to die for killing someone out of extreme negligence is up to you.
The passenger should have known better than to get in the car, but I’m sure he was drunk as well. They’re both dumb.
True. Although I’m saddened, really.
It is a bit sad but I’m still going to say it was dumb. People die all the time because they do dumb things.
It’s surprising he didn’t die earlier, considering all the stupid stuff the Jackass crew do for a living.
only this time, they didn’t have a medical crew standing by.
^ This
And who gets in a car with a totally wasted driver?
Probably a totally wasted passenger.
yeah. should’ve saved a little judgement and rode a cab instead, like I always do when I drink.
Um, I hate to inform you but some places don’t have cabs. Like where I live. We have to either drive, or ride with someone else who has been drinking when we go to the bar. Because when you have five bars in your town and you live ten miles away.. those are the choices you have. Maybe put yourself in someone elses shoes before judging.
NO. You absolutely have options, you DON’T DRIVE DRUNK OR GET IN A CAR WITH A DRUNK DRIVER. Stay at home and drink or crash at a friend’s place who lives nearby.
Most ridiculous argument I’ve ever heard.
how about not drinking?
There’s a choice you overlooked. Or two, sorry.
1. DD (NOT dunkin donuts)
2. DON’T DRINK.
Glad to see our Puggles is safe : D
Do you really think people can think so well drunk as they do sober? The two didn’t know what they were doing. I’m sure that when you’re drunk you’re drunk you can think just as well when you’re sober. (Sarcasm)
I refuse to respect someone who clearly had no respect for all the other lives he put at risk.
Thank you.
^^THIS
The passenger should also have stopped him from driving. For the money these guys make, a cab shouldn’t have been out of the question. I am ssdd for the passenger and his/her family, but Dunn got what he deserved before he have someone else something s/he didn’t deserve.
No. I’m not going to have respect for someone who essentially committed suicide. And if you think that people should have that respect you’re more sick than ANYONE else on this page.
It was an accident. Do you really think he tried to go off the road in car, and kill himself along with the passenger inside?
Dying by drink driving doesn’t mean he deserved it! Yeah it was dumb, and I bet he’d take it back if he could, but no one can honestly say he deserved to die for it. I certainly don’t agree with drink dying, but I also don’t agree with all the hating towards him for it. He’s dead, he’s certainly paid for the mistake.. Have some respect.
Rest in peace dude. You lived a fuller life than I ever will. xxx
No, I will not have respect just because he died. If you act like a reckless idiot in life I won’t forget it just because you die.
Loss of life is sad. But when your best friend is killed by a drunk driver, who lived, incidentally, you start having less tolerance for people’s making that same mistake.
It’s not like it’s a hard lesson to learn, people. Don’t drink and drive. Avoid a situation where you’ll be tempted to. This has been a known situation for your entire life, deal with it like an adult.
Too many innocent people die, I start thinking maybe just maybe the people who CAUSE the problem should be killed.
At least somebody has a bit of sense here. I agree with what you’re saying to the fullest.
Some of us are huge Jackass fans and really liked Ryan. For us it’s bad news.
Anyway, I’m still hoping it’s a joke.
IM DEAD!! lol jks : D
I saw someone from that Jackass nonsense died and I thought “Probably while doing something asinine for that moronic franchise. Serves him right.” Instead, he was doing something asinine, dangerous to others, and illegal. It doubly serves him right.
here’s how to tell the difference between Zack Galifianakis & Ryan Dunn.
well, now…one is dead, the other STILL looks like a child molestor.
Deaths from drunk driving are tragic and senseless no matter who dies.
“Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
I like boobies
It’s just a shame that drunk driving is so pandemic. Everyone has their own little “oh, those people are so bad”, but nobody is willing to do a damn thing to fix the problem (MADD and a few other groups excepted.) Much easier to whine about it and feel self-righteous. At least until someone YOU know dies.
Drinking in particular is pandemic. Everyone boos at smokers and drug abusers but drinking is cool, until someone you know gets sick or – as you said – dies because of drinking.
But I am out of it…I will not longer participate on this fail comment section…
between you, me, and the innernetz, i happen to agree with you. but, no way alcohol (or drugs, or tobacco, or Justin Bieber) will ever be outlawed. and i can’t say that i have a problem with that per se.
My uncle was arrested gotten times for DWI. Of those, 11 charges were dismissed because the cop didn’t show up to court. He has done nearly a hundred thousand dollars in property damage to vehicles and houses because no one wants to pull him off the street. We put him in rehab four times, costing my family nearly thirty thousand dollars. He now lives with my grandmother sponging her social security, without a job, and with an interlock device on his car. So he drives hers when he drinks instead. The police say there is nothing we can do without a charge of invasion of privacy, breaking and entering, or theft. Sometimes the only real solution is the one the law says we can’t enact.
Why can’t granny hide the keys? If I were her I’d kick him out and call the cops if he tried to drive my car.
Clearly you know how to handle drunk drivers. We should make you president. Maybe then you can up the punishment for drunk driving to mandatory death sentence because they obviously have it coming. Anyone who does anything that could potentially harm anyone else, particularly if it is highly stigmatized, should be immediately executed so that the rest of us might continue on in our self-righteous lives feeling self-congratulatory that we don’t actually have to lift a finger to protect “us” from “them.”
You know, until Junior is arrested for texting while driving and thrown on death row, then it becomes srsbzness and the law shouldn’t apply because he’s one of “us” and “we” are good people. So naturally, to preserve the good “us” vs bad “them” dynamic, he should get off scot free.
But in this case, if we can successfully class the person as “them” then we have no reason to feel guilty for judging and chastising their decision. But hindsight is always 20/20, so get off your f*cking high horse and have some respect for another human life, even if you can’t respect his decisions.
Have some respect for another human life?
You mean respect for one that has no respect for any human life himself?
I’m sorry, what are we supposed to do to stop drunk driving? Make laws against it? OHHHH wait, we already have those, a lot of good they do too. I agree with you though, it is a shame that drunk driving is such a problem. But what more can we do? Maybe stricter laws so that it’s harder to get back on the road once you’ve been arrested once, instead of all the multiple repeat offenders.
Cops need to show up in court, for one thing. Yeah, make it harder to get back on the road. If ever. “Education” and other things like forcing people to go to AA meetings is a pathetic joke, I’ve only seen that work once (out of dozens of cases.)
^THIS, THOUSAND TIMES THIS
add an additional twenty-one please, to be precise.
^This is the time when we need mature audience in failbook.
Death should be a celebration. Today I will celebrate that one less idiot is off the road and no longer endangering others. I don’t care who he is, what he’d done, or what he could have done differently: I care that he chose to put others in danger because of his selfish actions.
^This.
And on top of his reckless actions, he was also drunk.
(Allegedly.)
*applause*
LAUTENCLAVICYMBAL
I can’t believe people are retarded enough to confuse him and Zach Galifianakis… I will miss Ryan Dunn as the the absolute nicest guy from the Jackass crew. RIP dude….
I was watching this guy on Minute to Win It yesterday. I never would have thought…
he was a jackass for sure for drinking and driving but its unfortunate that he and the passenger was killed
What I want to know, is what blood level he had.
He probably was impaired, but the drunk driving limit has been lowered so many times that they are catching people with diabetes (only ones deep into ketoacidocis though) now.
Based on the news reports that the car was fully engulfed, I’d suspect he had a pretty high B.A.C.
People DO crash without high BAC. I’m trying to do something other than guess. Though if the bodies are bad enough off, we may never know.
and BAC is not necessarily a measure of “impairment.” some folks can operate a vehicle in relative safety with BAC in excess of the legal limit (altho that’s still stupid), whereas others can’t even operate a deadbolt after having 1 drink. much less drive a car while texting, singing along to Lada Gaga, and performing fellatio.
which is why the person being arrested *can* refuse a breathlizer test and demand a blood alcohol test instead. *those* can tell the difference.
plus if you’re wearing your stupid little medical alert tag thing, you have more of a leg to stand on.
I am tossing my lot in with the rest of those that have no sympathy for someone who drinks, drives, and dies. It’s a shame his passenger died as well, but thankfully no other people were involved.
I’m not going to be as cold to say he deserved it, but i have no respect for him, and i find it hard to find sympathy for someone to be as selfish as that. thoughts still go out to his friends and family
One of the f**ks isn’t blurred
There are only 12 cylon models …
And the Centurions. And the chrome jobs (“They still have their uses”). And the Raiders (regular and heavy). And Baseships’ Hybrids.
Okay, since nobody said it yet, I pose it as a question…
Natural selection?
F!rst thing I thought of.
This. People come, people go. So will I.
Is he on Darwin Awards yet?
That would depend on whether Angie Cuturic is pregnant.
And these days you can’t rule out conception postmortem (semen on ice and testicular harvesting).
If only. Little more of a drift, though, wouldn’t you say? Our driving conditions aren’t dangerous enough to tely select against drunk drivers.
I completely agree he deserved it. When someone is so f*cking stupid and doesn’t care that he could of killed someone else then yeah you get what you have coming to you. One of my good friends died when the car she was in went airborne and wrapped itself around a tree killing her instantly. The guy who was driving was drunk and he died as well. There are many things that I will give people the benefit of the doubt and I try to be a fair and just man, but doing something as stupid as drinking and driving then well you’re betting on a losing hand.
*could have.
That makes the rest of your argument invalid.
People that text while driving are as guilty as drunk drivers because they are making a concious decision (not even a drunken decision) to use their phones when they know it is dangerous…..many innocent people have died because of phone use while driving. Are you seriously suggesting that even people that text while driving deserve to die?
I don’t understand, are you saying your friend deserved to die? Because she chose to get in the car with a drunk driver, which is equally stupid.
“Check yourself before you wreck yourself.”
Did he die?
No. “He joined Elvis.”
A few months ago a friend of mine (17 – here you cannot get your driver’s license at that age yet – and not drunk) got killed in a car accident because his friend who was driving had been drunk. The latter died as well, and I did not know him personally, but what I did know was that he had been a good friend and would never hurt anyone intentionally. I certainly felt anger for him: why the f*** would he do something so stupid? And then I saw his family on his funeral – their speeches were full of emotion and they, too, spoke of anger over his acts. But they also mentioned that he had always been a sweet boy who had always enjoyed life and hanging out with his friends.
I definitely agree that DWD is a dangerous and stupid thing to do, and that people who are caught doing this should receive Spartan treatment. But I would never, ever say that they are deserving of their death, should they get “killed in the act”. Why? Because they never had the intention to hurt anyone. The main problem is that being drunk lowers your awareness, including the awareness of potential danger. When you’re actually living not that far away and have taken the same road for years and years already, it might be tempting to just get into your own car instead of calling a cab. Very stupid, but not deserving of death. Saying so is kind of cruel, I think.
THIS THIS THIS!
Really, drunk driving is stupid, but not deserving of death.
A little while ago 5 high school kids were killed in an accident because they were driving drunk. It was a serious tragedy (I live in a very small town) 3 of the kids that died went to my school (at the time) All of them were good, nice people. Most of them had good grades and a plan set out for their futures. It was extremely stupid of them to drive while drunk, but that doesn’t mean that they deserved to die.
My boyfriend’s little brother also died in an accident with a drunk driver. (RIP)
This is why whenever my boyfriend and his friends get together and drink I always stay sober so they will have a designated driver to take them home. Sometimes they already have a plan to stay at their friends house, but it really is better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully something good will come from this and people will realize that they should make sure to have a DD or call a cab when they go out to drink.
why can’t some people understand one simple thing: drink driving isn’t just about the drunk driver that dies plus the passenger that chose to get in the car with.It’s about the very obvious possibility that if you drink drive you will hit someone and kill, or leave them paraplegic or some other injuries that will leave them with dissabilities for life.If you’re aware that you will be drinking then you should know better than to drive.That is your conscious decision BEFORE you even start drinking.So where is your argument there?
I don’t know exactly what happened with Dunn,like most of you don’t exactly,I’m just reffering to the arguments here,I, for one have f..k all simpathy for anyone that drink drives,texts/talks on the phone,etc whilst driving.Those laws made for driving are there for very good reasons.If you wanna die,you’re welcome to do it,and you can do it without hurting others,jump of a bridge,don’t drink and drive,or you can post your eulogy on facebook from your phone whilst you drive of a cliff,now that’s even a better idea!
my 6 year old daughter almost got hit by a SUV whilst were we crossing the road (by the rules) when an idiot was talking on the phone driving didn’t even see her,did a hard left without even looking,quite literally inches from running over my daughter.Don’t ask me how I knew but I had a hitch,turned my head,saw his car and pulled my daughter,seconds from getting hit.If I didn’t,I’m sure my daughter would’ve been dead or….I wonder how i would feel if that would’ve happened.It angers me.A car is just a thing to take you from point A to point B.RESPONSIBLY though.
metaphorically put,A CAR IS A 1 TONNE BULLET!
This, I must completely agree with. I’ve read previous comments about those of us that say he “deserved to die” that said that we should “think before (we) speak.” Well, I’ve thought long and hard multiple times on this subject, and I STILL say that those idiots that don’t have the decency to protect the lives of others and themselves and refrain from driving while drunk can effectively die in the most horrid car crash in the history of history and NOT get a single tear or “poor soul” thought from me. Frankly, drunk drivers/distracted drivers who put others at risk for their stupidity do deserve to die in my opinion.
The first person to die from my high school graduation class (2008) was a boy who ran his car into a tree while driving drunk. I had known that person a very long time, and knew he had his life laid out for him. Did he deserve to die? Frankly, yes, if he was still able to make the stupid decision to put other lives at risk. It’s not just drunkards that I would condemn, it’s people who text, talk on their cell phones, put on makeup, or whatever other crazy stunt they think they can pull while driving. If you can’t do everything before you drive and if it can’t wait until after, for the love of all that his holy and good PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO DO YOUR EFFING BUSINESS!!!! It doesn’t take a genius to be able to use common sense effectively.
Yeah, what about all the sober people who are killed by drunk drivers every year? What if the drunk driver lives? Should said drunk driver be charged with man slaughter? Put in jail for 25 to life? Most would say yes to this. Many would go as far to say death penalty. So any drunk driver that kills themselves is a good thing. There is no excuse for drunk driving.
So you think it’s a good thing that drunk drivers kill themselves? That’s quite a horrible thing to say, you know. When a drunk driver causes an accident in which people other than him/herself die, this is an awful situation, and as stated before, I would definitely like for the offender to receive punishment and treatment. But not death. Definitely not death. Don’t you think that that the trauma of having unintentionally killed someone, perhaps even a friend, isn’t already a lifelong punishment?
I’ll just repeat it here: it’s not the intention of a drunk driver to actually go out there and kill people. Fact of the matter is, alcohol has lowered their awareness of things, and in this haze they ‘decide’ it’s still a good idea to drive home themselves. It’s stupid, really, incredibly stupid, but not deserving of death. For example, what would you say if someone took very heavy meds and caused a car accident because he was under infllouence of this medication? Or someone who was in a hurry to get home because, I don’t know, his wife was having a baby or something? And subsequently caused an accident? Do you think these people are deserving of death as well? Do you think, “good riddance”, when people like this die? If you really do, I’d have to say that you are a very cold person, not to mention hypocritical, very likely. Can you really say that you have never acted foolishly in your lifetime, never done something without thinking of possible consequences?
*influence, and probably something else for the grammar-nazis to nitpick on as well. Seems like I was under “infllouence” myself.
I just re-read mine, I have a bunch….*sigh* I guess I am also under the ‘inflouence’ lol!
Meh, it’s a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing; I always get worked up over subjects such as these and then I tend to make mistakes, especially since English isn’t my first language. Anyway, I’m guessing a post of yours has landed itself in moderation limbo, but I just wanted to go ahead and apologize for calling you a cold person, you probably have your own background story in relation to your “coldness” to drunk drivers. So, disregarding that, I would like to see your answer. :]
nah it’s cool, you can call me whatever you want
But yes I am very cold to drunk drivers because there is no excuse for it and cause an outrageous amount of destruction, and death.
I have had my stupid moments, my mistakes my flubs, all of that, but I can very honestly say that I have NEVER drover under the influence of anything, and I have NEVER put others lives in danger from my actions! I have put my own life in danger, but never anyone else’s!
And yes, I do think it’s a good thing when a drunk driver dies, and only the drunk driver, sadly that is rarely the case, they almost always take someone else out with them. I know it’s not the intention of a drunk driver to go out and kill, but they do. Drunk drivers are asking for death, they deserve what them get.
There is absolutely no excuse for drunk driving! There are cabs, sober friends, buses, trains, the cops with give you a ride home, the list goes on and on. Everyone knows the dangers and everyone knows to never drink and drive, I don’t care how drunk someone is there is never an excuse for them to get into a car and drive, I don’t care if they think they can do it, they shouldn’t, and if Dunn was with any responsible person they wouldn’t have let him get in his care in the first place.
Anyone who drives drunk definitely deserves what is coming to them. Death or otherwise.
Oh and to answer your question I do feel the same way about people who drive under the influence of meds. A drug is a drug, if it impairs your judgment and motor skills then you shouldn’t get behind the wheel of any vehicle. And if you get in a wreck and die because of the stupid choices you made then so be it! As for speeding, felony speeds, yes, they deserve it to. If it’s only a couple miles over the limit, then whatever.
Moderation-limbo, that’s what I thought. Well anyway, for my apology see previous post. As for the rest:
I have to agree with you that they are putting their own lives in danger (and that of others as well) when getting behind the wheel while intoxicated. So when they die, it’s due to their own stupid decisions, of course. But saying they deserved it?
I don’t know, I still find that I cannot think like that, even if I think they are incredibly stupid and even if they took others with them. Death is, well, death. It’s a sad event when someone so young dies and irreversible, they will leave a lot of sad relatives and friends behind, etc. That’s why I’d rather see them alive and put behind bars and/or being admitted into a rehabilitation center, forced to rethink their sins, deal with their guilt and subsequently live a proper life.
What I’m trying to say is, there basically ARE no rational excuses for intoxicated driving/speeding/etc. But people can be irrational sometimes and make stupid decisions. I really cannot say that they ‘deserve’ death. You seem to think so, so let’s just agree to disagree on this one.
A girl who was a friend’s ex and another friend’s friend just died the same way this Friday. It’s tough to see them so upset, and though I didn’t know her too well, I liked her too. While they might not appreciate the few who were cracking wise about this incident, I have a very distant line of decency for humor, and this kind of helps me cope a bit, so thanks.
Lame, I just saw him on minute to win it the other day with Steve-o, he was doing it for some charity he liked.
AA, MADD, Hazelden?
nope still alive.

First off, there’s no proof he died drunk driving. People with him said he wasn’t intoxicated, so why believe web rumors? Yes, I see he took a picture drinking a beer 2 hours before he crashed…is that illegal now? Didn’t think so…
It might be illegal now. I’m just waiting for the limit to go low enough that they start having trouble distinguishing between someone who’s had a beer and someone who’s had chicken marsala.
Regardless o his BAC, he was estimated to be doing 100+ mph. That’s NOT a rumor.
He’s STILL a jackass.
People who drink and drive deserve to be caught, and deserve to be punished under law. They don’t deserve to die….
If your husband or wife or child was caught with a BAC of .01 over the limit, not drunk but could still be charged for DUI, you would not wish they should have died or say they deserved to have..
And there can be no earthly excuse for driving while fat, or stupid, or full of oneself, or self-righteous, either.
^this
No one deserves to die in a violent manner. We all make mistakes most of the time you walk away unscaved. Other times something devastating happens and it’s very humbling for everyone involved. This is a horrible thing that has happened and a loss this great should never be in vain. Learn from this. Rest in peace ryan dunn..
And unfortunately the rest of the crew wasn’t with him…damn shame, we could do without these idiots shoving firecrackers up their ass or car-surfing or some other stupid thing that impressionable suburb-dwelling teens will see and go “Hurr…that looks liek teh funz!” and call up their other stupid friends and then all end up either in the ER or in a holding cell at the police office.
Marry me?
In after butthurt drunk driver.
Nex bardibus.
They all cheated death how many times? I was actually surprised to hear Ryan Dunn, I always thought out of all of them, steve-o or Bam would be the first, and with steve-o now preaching sobriety…
He made a fatal mistake. NO-ONE deserves to die that way. It’s horrible.
He was driving his Porsche at 2:30 in the morning after hanging out at bars in West Chester Pa. About 5 minutes from here. He tweeted a pic of him holding a drink. Darn shame for him but also his passenger. I drove past Bams house to see if anything was going on, but it’s like a freakin fortress there.. Can’t see anything. And we had just watched minute to win it on Saturday, Ryan and Steve-o were teammates.. And we all thought Steve-O would be the first to go…
Yea, he totally deserved to die in a horrible fiery car accident because he drank some beer and then drove home. As has been pointed out already, we don’t know if he was over the limit or not. Furthermore, I don’t think anyone deserves that. Are drunk drivers a danger to others, sure. Should they be on the road? Definitely not. Do they deserve to die in a horrific accident because they had too many drinks and then got into a car (which they might not do if they could think straight, but since alcohol impairs judgement so drunk drivers don’t exactly have all neurons firing). If you said the guy deserved it maybe you’re the one who should go jump in a fire.
drove home at 100+ mph. Let’s not neglect that.
I think what everyone here needs to realize is that this is not the day for arguing over whether or not he deserved it. This is the day for mourning. I think everyone who keep saying it serves him right that he died need to shut up, show some respect and mourn the loss of a beloved entertainer. Sure, drunk driving kills innocent lives, but if that were the case here we should mourn them too, instead of calling Dunn an irresponsible douche bag for accidentally killing them. Those comments can come later if they have to, but today is not the day.
I will not show respect for someone who disrespected every single person in the area in which he was driving. Drunk or not he drove at a RIDICULOUS rate of speed.
I will not mourn another stupid jackass who thinks that drink driving is okay, as is driving 80 miles over the speed limit.
He had a passenger with him and they can’t even identify his victim because the body was so badly mangled. They could barely identify Dunn!
He was an irresponsible douche bag for driving drunk, 80MPH over the speed limit!! I would never show respect for this guy, or any other drunk driver!
Thanks you.
Slaggingham, you’re an idiot.
In after OTHER self-righteous butthurt drunk.
Slaggingham, your an idiot
If one of your family members die from drinking and driving, THEY deserved it, and i hope no one gives your family sympathy
Yes, you’re right, they would deserve it! I wouldn’t expect sympathy from anyone if that were the case.
exactly. I hope his loved ones will be alright. =/
RIP: He was a funny guy,and a lot of people will miss him.
Dunn da Dunn Dunn… Dunn!
Thanks for the lulz, Ryan. I always figured Steve-O, Knoxville or Preston would have died first.
going by the numbers, it’s a virtual certainty that at least several of the “drunk drivers are evil, i am better than ‘those people’” posters have been guilty of the same crime.
I won’t sit here and say he deserved it, or that I’m glad he got what’s coming to him or anything like that. Any death is tragic, and affects a lot of people. BUT, its hard for me to feel a lot of sympathy for someone who should’ve known better. At his age there is no excuse for that kind of behavior. I hope that his death will help the younger generation that looked up to him realize that no on is invincible, and you need to act responsibly.
^ This.
damn.. I just saw the hangover 2
ok i DO NOT condone drunk driving but to say some one deserved to die because he was behind the while drunk is cold and heartless of all of you who are saying it!! I think what he deserved was JAIL time not losing his life! thank god he didnt hit any one else and i hate that his passenger died and him as well he was a nice guy and great actor (though he wasnt in the hangover and i dont see why every one thinks that…) and he will be missed by a lot of people
Rectum?!? Damn near killed him..oh wait. OOps!
wanna be safe and stay alive? Don’t drink in the first place! I mean, isn’t Diet Coke enough for you guys?
HELL NO.
Diet Pepsi, thanks.
wanna be safe and stay alive? Don’t drink in the first place! I mean, isn’t Diet Coke enough for you guys?
I hate to break it to all of you, but it’s not true. He’s not dead. It was all a publicity stunt for the new Jackass movie. Seriously, I’m not making that up.
Then agin, I guess I was wrong. It’s like when Andy Kaufman died, he was so good at fooling people, no one beleived it when it actually happened.
Okay, i know it was wrong that he was driving under the influence, but that doesn’t mean he deserved to die. I was in an accident involving a drunk driver. It killed my best friend and the drunk driver, but I forgave him, I didn’t ever believe he desrved to die, people make mistakes, I know that and everyone saying he deserved it needs to stfu and realize that too.
People who say he deserved it have a morbid sense of logic. That’s like saying someone who died of a heart attack deserved it because they were somewhat overweight. You don’t realize how many people drink and drive and make it where they’re going just fine. It was an unfortunate accident, it wasn’t a smart choice, but none the less, he will be missed. Rest in peace.
and of course it’s only the drunk drivers who actually cause high-profile accidents who are vilified. if one of your friends drives home a bit tipsy, well, that’s different, as long as they don’t get caught. they don’t deserve to die, of course. altho perhaps the people who knowingly let them drive drunk legally bear some responsibility for not intervening.
i agree with Rachel’s sentiment. but, it’s much easier to say “drunk drivers are babyr@pers” and stand idly by while many thousands of people do it right in front of us. perhaps it could be arranged for drunk drivers to selectively target hypocritically self-satisfied a$$holes who think they deserve death.
I also find it kind of ironic that people think they are better than drunk drivers (in this case) by actually wishing them dead, while drunk drivers do not have the intention to kill people. Really, who is the better person? But, well, hypocrisy is part of being human, I guess.
I am morbidly obese, and NOT due to a medical condition (though I am working on changing that, but in the meantime, it is what it is). If I have a heart attack? Yes, I deserve it.
I don’t think he deserved to die, but.. still.. that’s a horrible (and preventable) way to get yourself killed. XP poor guy.
Until someone close to you dies while driving drunk let’s see you sing the same tune, all of you douches that said he deserved it. Blow me, that is inhumane and ignorant
Also, my condolences to the family and friends of Ryan Dunn. RIP
For those of you who still can’t tell the difference – Dunn is the one without the Hangover.
My girlfriend, whom I loved very much, was killed by a drunk driver. The driver was never charged or punished for it. 2 months later, that driver went drunk driving again and hit a tree and was killed. I can’t say I mourn his loss. I can only say I’m glad he didn’t kill somebody else.
I can’t believe anyone would stick up for a drunk driver! I bet none of you would stick up for a smoker who developed cancer, so why stick up for a drunk driver? Drunk drivers cause 17,000 deaths in the U.S. every year! There is no excuse for drunk driving, there are always other options to get back home, or you just stay where you are.
Saying someone doesn’t deserve death for drunk driving isn’t the same as ‘sticking up’ for a drunk drivier. I would never say there is an excuse for drunk driving, but I would also never say someone who has ever been driving under influence does not deserve to be alive. Is it so hard to see those two statements are not mutually exclusive?
I think it’s still sad Ryan Dunn and his passenger are dead, although I’m definitely not nearly as sad as I would have been if their own irresponsible actions wouldn’t have been the cause of it.
Any drunk driver is asking for death, so in a way, they deserve whats coming to them. I don’t think anyone on here is saying we should all go out and kill drunk drivers by saying they deserved it, it’s just facts, drunk drivers are asking for it. Saying that a drunk driver didn’t deserve to die is basically like defending there actions. At least in my mind it is, so yes, it is hard for me to see that the two statements aren’t mutually exclusive. Besides I would much rather see a drunk driver die from his own actions then kill innocent people and live.
As much as I don’t have a pity (not sayin they DESERVE it, that’s a huge difference) for drunk drivers who crash and die, I don’t have a pity for people who smoke 20 years and die of lung or throat cancer. They are not 5 year old, why should I pity them?
I was really bummed by this, Ryan was a good guy.
However, all this talk of drunk driving, people make mistakes, and I think it’d be very unlikely than Ryan Dunn would drive a porsche drunk, at 110 (as reports have said) down route 322, which is one of the most dangerous roads imaginable. Dunn flipped more cars in his life than a Michael Bay movie while he was sober, it’s incredibly possible that the effect of any alcohol (if at all) in his system had worn off. I’m not saying that as fact, but it’s a theory.
Has anyone questioned the time of when the picture was taken or posted? NO. People are just interested in jumping on the hate bandwagon.
No one, and I repeat no-one deserves to die for something like this. It’s an insensitive statement to make.
dhe only solution, is the revolution.
I do not want to take away from the fact that there is probably someone in here who has lost a loved one from being killed by a drunk driver. It is a tragedy and absolutely no one should be taken away from their loved ones like that. However that sword has two edges… Lets say a 17 year old goes out and is pressured into drinking for the first time with a new group of friends.. maybe the second or third time drinking.. It doesn’t matter. The problem is that that person made no plans to drink or get drunk and after a few beers/shot or whatever they are now intoxicated and unable to process things like they normally would. They now think they have to get home because if not they will get into trouble for staying out or for getting drunk. So they attempt to drive home. They kill themselves wrapping their car around a tree while driving drunk.
This is not saying Dunn was a peer pressured 17 year old. This is addressing peoples comments that anyone driving drunk deserves to die. It is going to happen that humans will make mistakes. It is not fair to lump every situation into one statement that they deserve it. The best we can do is try and teach the ones we know and love that not only is drinking and driving a danger to ourselves but also innocent bystanders.
Please before you write “anyone who drinks and drives deserves to die” think about that comment for a minute.. You are talking about someones son or daughter, brother or sister… So have a plan and express to your children and friends you would rather them call you at 2:30am to come and give them a ride then try and make it 10 miles down the road driving drunk.
you make speeches often, bro?
negatron, I rarely reply in forums/comments I just wanted to to feel like I was part of the cool kids club.
Well he was always kind of a jackass.
im going to geek out and leave a LOTR quote here for y’all.
“Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
And this is why you don’t drink and drive… he had it coming but I don’t think he deserved it, no one deserves a death like that, I still have very little sympathy for him, my sympathy is for his family.
I can’t understand why people are mixing him up with the dude from the Hangover films, I don’t see that much of a similarity, yes they have short hair and similar beards with almost the same hair colour but they also have distinctive and different facial features.
LOL IM DEAD.
rofl bro.
Oh, joy. Just what we need…another round of Moral Panic because a celebrity DWI’d into a tree.
“No one here has the right to judge and condemn” …
“How cool must you feel, as well as delusional with your self righteousness….and lolufail, you are an idiot”… “but i guarantee you once it happens, your perspective will soon change, and if not, then you are just simply a cold hearted ignorant fool”… “you already seem to think you’re too cool for school, then if so, get a life instead of following failbook all day everyday commenting on all this stupid stuff”.
So, um, what was that you were saying? Oh yeah, something about “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then just shut up already”.
Poor thing. Have you EVER heard the word “hypocritical” before?
I was told once Zack galafianakis was Silent Bob. big fail!
i was like, “umm how did he turn ginger?”
Everyone who says he derserves it is heartless. Imagine how all of his friends from jackass feel, they pretty much grew up together. I guarantee that if your friend got killed because of his/her mistake, you would mourn for them just as bad as if they died of natural causes, you DAMN sure wouldn’t say “Yeah, it was my best friend, but they deserved it.”
Have some respect for the people that have to go the rest of their lives without him next to their side. Yes he made a mistake, but you make mistakes too.
Umm.. I come here for laughs.. the jokes are scant in these comments. There is no need to mourn anyone who dies at the hand of his own idiocy (passenger not excluded). He could probably use some laughs and is used to them coming at his expense. So here we go:
Random Entertainer: “And now for my last trick!” *crashes car and dies in a flaming blaze of glory*
Observer: “Meh… it’s been Dunn.”
I guess we can stick a fork in him.
the judgement on this page is ridiculous. most kids who are 21 or over have most likely driven drunk at least once but for some reason it’s ok to say someone else deserves to die from it? it’s hypocritical cuz if he deserved to die from it then that’s saying that everyone deserved. EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES but no one deserves death because of them. whether it be his fault or not it’s still a sad tragedy to see someone so young die
I’ve never texted while driving. And I’ve seen no study about checking your mirrors adding to ones risk of accident. In fact I’d suggest knowing of the cars and events happening behind and to the sides of your automobile would LOWER the risk of accident.
Drunk driving is a choice. An active decision to get behind the controls of a thousand plus pound projectile with diminished reflexes and awareness.
No one deserves to die. But let’s not downplay just how much of a threat drunk driving is. Over the past 10 years over 40,000 Americans alone died in car crashes EACH YEAR. In ONE year 4 times more people die on US roads than US soldiers in two wars in the past ten years combined AND in the twin towers (~6500 and ~3500 respectively).
Died as he lived…a jackass. Would his fans all be so sad if he hit another car and killed someone else?
At the end of the day, two people have died. It doesn’t really matter if they were drinking, or texting, or adjusting the radio, or doing their hair. Yeah, you shouldn’t drive and do that, but if someone dies doing so, it’s not “hooray, one less idiot”, it should be “someone’s child/parent/sibling/friend has died”. If a relative died of lung cancer after smoking, you wouldn’t turn around and say they deserved it. Even if he didn’t have alcohol in his system (be it over the limit or not, that’s yet to be confirmed) the accident might still have happened. I have friends who have been in serious car accidents, because they have literally just lost concentration for a moment on a fast road, and they were entirely sober, not using phones, nothing. No one deserves to die.
Also, the only thing that’s been confirmed is that “speed is considered a factor in the accident”.
RIP…
one less stupid person in the world… ah, when you think of the millions of other retards inspired by his shows…
Is drunk driving really that looked down upon everywhere? I thought it was the Wisconsin state past time…
All I’ve heard is that he was speeding as well, nothing about being drunk. He was from my area and I know people who have hung out with him and have said he wasn’t a big drinker. Either way I don’t really think he “deserved” it. It’s easy to speed, I believe we’ve all done it. Things can change in an instant. One second things are going well, the next, we lose control, an animal run in front of us, we lose concentration, etc. How many of us have had close calls? Or even gotten into accidents yet survived? It’s something that happens easier than we’d like to admit.
I also know the road he was killed on very well…my sister’s fiance was killed on that very same road while speeding. He didn’t deserve it either :\
idiots drunk driving isnt a MISTAKE you get behind the wheel knowing dang well you could kill someone or yourself – it just makes you a bullet in a gun pointed at anyone on the road and shooting someone point blank isnt a mistake – and see how forgiving your are of this “mistake” when a drunk kills your kid or spouse
This is why it’s always safer to drink so much you pass out.
everybody loves a joke but no one likes a fool
and you’re always cracking the same old lines again
anyone else know that song?
Darwin Award to all: drinking, texting, jerking,etc…
Rest in peace Ryan! Thank you for giving me endless hours of crying laughter!
rip ryan
:(
Obvious jackass is dead
Either way it’s a terrible loss. Drinking, texting, smoking weed or shooting black tar heroine. A death is a horrible thing especially for someone that made his purpose in life to make people smile and laugh. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Rest in Paradise Ryan
Best comment so far.
failbook is for fails. this is a sad, stupid event.
no offense tho.
No, this is a fail of epic proportions.
This is a big fail, a responsibility fail and yes, a sad, stupid event. Should it be on failbook? Not in my opinion just because it is not funny, but it’s still an epic failure on his part.
well on the bright side he doesn’t have to worry about being mistaken for whatzizface anymore…
Ryan Dunn is now Well Done.
You guys are ridiculous. Nobody “deserves” to die. If you don’t like him and whatnot, why leave a comment? Yeah drunk driving is bad, and he was in the wrong, but he didn’t deserve death. As for all the crap about texting, he wasn’t texting. So who cares? And, just saying, half the people that commented this have probably driven drunk. Sob stories about close relatives dying from drunk drivers are dumb, they probably aren’t true. No one cares. Plus going over 100 in a Porsche 911 GT3 is a death sentence in itself. So, anyway, getting on here and bashing someone you don’t know is stupid. All of you know someone who drinks and drives, or has in the past. So you are saying they desrve death too? Good job.
Uh, actually no, I don’t know anyone who drives while drunk. I don’t consider it a mistake either, while intoxicated he made the choice to drive. A decision cost him his life, yes, but the one HE made. I’m not saying that anyone deserves to die, because honestly that’s just evil. I am saying that he did something extremely stupid and paid the price.
Sorry, but to say that you don’t know ANYONE who drives or has ever driven drunk is bollocks.
1 in 5 Americans have admitted to or been caught driving drunk as of 2008, im sure that number hasn’t changed much since then… so for you to know NO ONE who has ever driven drunk is impossible unless you just don’t know anyone at all.
http://www.alcoholismrehab.org/drunk-driving/one-in-five-americans-has-driven-drunk-in-the-past-year/
Yeah, rare on here huh? Someone to actually back up their response with fact and studies.
The people who knew him are the ones I DO feel bad for.
There are garden variety mistakes. Then there are mistakes which put people’s lives in danger. The latter get little to no sympathy from me
I live about 10 minutes from the crash site. I saw the skid marks today, he blew apart a damn guard rail and then flew another 40 feet into the trees before coming to a stop. he had to be flying…I’ve seen media reports estimating he was going 100? I’d put it at a lot closer to something like 115. he tore apart an entire guard rail with a porsche and traveled another 40 feet through the wood line before stopping!! the car tore through trees. I didn’t know ryan, but I know people who did, having grown up in the west chester pa area…all of them are mourning someone who by all accounts was a really great person. I’m really sorry he made 1 horrific mistake that cost him his life. but having said that…seeing the actual crash site today, all I could think of was what the f-k were you thinking? dont you know you’re worth a lot more than this?
seriously >.> apparently they went further into the night and he only had one beer 3 hours before leaving and wasn’t drunk.
Can’t have sympathy for someone who killed himself and a passenger whilst being retarded enough to drink drive. I’m not going to say he ‘deserved’ it, just that I can’t sympathise. Whoever said it was just as much the passenger’s fault, obviously missed the fact that they weren’t the one driving. Coulda called a cab.
I can’t believe how many idiots are defending drunk driving here.
I hope you get pulled over, arrested, and suspended before you can hurt anyone.
Thank you.
Wow…this thread is really repetitive. Christ people…arguing via this very hilarious website? F’ in retarded. Really. Drinking and driving (and speeding) is against the law, yes? What is there to argue about. Two people lost their lives. It’s sad, period. Can’t we all just agree to disagree?
And, RIP Ryan.
So Ryan Dunn died in a car crash, huh?
Your move Dirty Sanchez.
@zombiezebra: Sob stories about close relatives dying from drunk drivers are dumb, they probably aren’t true. No one cares.
yet you are here berating those who aren’t mourning someone they didn’t know who supposedly had 3 beers + 3 shots over 4 hours then chose to drive at what authorities are saying was around 130 mph.
no one cares.
He was in death as he was in life….a jackass
Why argue with each other over stupidity? I see it as he was stupid for driving fast, and he wasn’t drunk. anyone can lose control of a car going at high speeds. The reports stated that he was not drunk. You guys rip each other apart over something that has happened time and time again with people who aren’t famous. Why don’t you stop, and worry about your own life. It’s sad that everyone has to be so cruel. Everyone dies for a reason, no one deserves it.
Um, the report states that he WAS. Even before the tox report came back NOTHING I read said he wasn’t drunk, but rather that we were waiting on BAC from tox screening.
As for worrying about our own lives… you think that this utter stupidity doesn’t have a MASSIVE potential to affect our lives? At least two commenters on this very thread have said they live very near the crash site.
So… you have shown us you clearly want every drunk driver to die because they’re just stupid people who represent a threat to you and and the world’s safety. So how about this: go buy a gun, shove some bullets in it and start chasing them. Put a couple of well deserved bullets into their heads and head back to your house to have some regular, safe dreams. Come on! You already said you have the nerve to give a death penalty. Put your money where your mouth is; finish the job your sane judgment has started.
Oh, what? You want people to die without you getting involved in the process? That’s a very coherent way to go!
Listen, we all get that drunk driving is bad, smoking cigarettes is bad, half of all the crap we do and hope no one else finds out about is usually bad. But death, that’s a terrible thing to make light of. If anything, wish he had gotten arrested and put all over the news, wishing someone dead doesn’t show how callous or hard core you are, it just shows you either haven’t had a lot of death in your life, so you don’t get it, or someone you cared about has been hurt or killed from a drunk driver, in which case your judgment is clouded by pain. Condolences are the only thing that should be shared.

why are my post sbeing moderated when they’r enot even offensive?
Most people do not fabricate accidents, so for anyone to say that these “sob stories” aren’t true is just sad.
I do know a lot of people to die in drunk driving accidents, mostly as teens and it is never pretty. It is always sad and never something to make fun of. I know there are a lot of people out there who have never and will never drive drunk, but talking so harshly about this man just because he did and that killed him is heartless and cruel.
Thank goodness no one else was harmed, but a man is dead; all be it, an irresponsible man, but a man none the less.
Two men.
Thank you Patrick, for correcting my error.
And, y’all need to remember. This man was taught at a very young age that acting stupid would give him fame and fortune. Anyone who watched his show, bought his merchandise or paid to see the jackass movies is partly responsible for his irresponsibility.
Someone should have shook the crap out of him and the other boys from that show when they were still kids and told them that their douchebaggary would lead to their deaths and to go to college and get a grown up job. But instead they were taught that because they got a TV show they could do whatever they wanted and most of them still do just that… whatever they want. It is learned behavior that was never corrected and yes, I am laying partial blame on society.
You encouraged the behavior that killed him by laughing when he shoved a toy car where it ought not be and when he drank fluids from a horse… how can you expect him to have grown from that into a responsible adult?
Could not have said it better……….props Maggi.
This is how he would have wanted to go.
Burned in a fire? Doubtful. The accident wasn’t the sole cause of death, remember.
What the report means is that, unless he was drunk enough not to feel anything, or he managed to pass out, he was in a LOT of pain before he died.
‘Everyone dies for a reason, no one deserves it.’
WTF does that mean?? dunn was drunk…almost 2x the legal limit and driving 130mph. my 19 yr old daughter died after battling leukemia for 5 long, tough years.
there is no reason for either of these deaths, but dunn deserved it, using the definition as it ‘came about as an outcome of his own actions’ a helluva lot more than my girl.
More than 2x the legal limit. Yep, it was deserved.
Jail time was deserved, loss of respect was deserved, paying fines was deserved; but losing his life and taking the life of his passenger was not deserved.
What he did was stupid, irresponsible and dangerous, no one is debating that.
People who are never taught to be responsible are not going to be responsible. He is to blame for his own death, this is a fact, but no one deserves to die that way, in that much pain.
Think of how you would feel if your loved one died the same way and everyone was saying “He deserved it, good riddance” instead of “I’m sorry for your loss”.
Am I Zack Galifianakis?
I say we rename MADD to
Driving

‘Ntoxication
RIP bro.
Everyone is good for something… Ryan Dunn makes an excellent bad example!
What he did was illegal! He endangered not only his life, but the life of his passenger and of countless other people on the road at the same time. If he would have survived and his passenger died, he would have been charged and ended up in jail. If he had hit another vehicle and killed the people in that vehicle, and survived, he would probably have spent alot of time in jail. Whether he lived or died, he ruined his life and career. I don’t think he deserved to die, but he did something very seriously wrong which he would have been severely punished for. It is a shame that he choose to do something that ended up in his death and the death of his passenger. May they both R.I.P.
He was driving 130mph, at night while drunk. Quite honestly it would have been a miricle if he hadn’t died!
how are they gonna make hangover 3 nowww….????!!!11!! omg im gonna mis shim soo bad. i think hangover is hilarious.
((((((
Dunn was not in the hangover… don’t say stupid things online without doing your research first.
He Dunn goofed up
Too soon man, too soon hahahaha
Zack Galifianakis is in the Hangover, not Ryan Dunn…dumbasses. RIP Ryan…you’re well Dunn now.
Out of respect I’d never go up to his family and loved ones, take their hand and gently say “he deserved it.” They don’t need ANY of that right now, and my heart truly goes out for their loss.
But:
He. Deserved. It.
Texters that die from their negligence deserve it, too.
It’s just a shame that so many people are going to suffer fir his stupid actions.
RIP Ryan…how come the sweetest guy has to die young? You shouldn’t have been driving after drinking, but still….I’m gonna miss you!
Screw Ryan Dunn. A guy the got paid to hurt himself finally died, as a result of his own stupidity.
You drink, you drive…….you’re Dunn!!!
NICE
“Deserved”… You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Drunk driving is a hotbutton issue, especially for people (like me) who have lost a loved one to a drunk driver, or a loved one who was a drunk driver. I lost a childhood friend to a drunk driver. He was a pedestrian and the drunk ran him down and drove on and was never caught. Do I hope that later that same person destroyed himself with his own weapon of choice? Yes, I do, because I am hurt and saw no justice done with my own eyes. That’s how human beings roll. It’s unusual NOT to be enraged about something like that.
That said, I think “deserved” is pretty much up to the individual saying it, so really there’s no arguing with people. If they think someone deserves something, then that person does, to *them*. You can’t argue with an objective term like that. Well, you can, just not successfully.
I think it is stupid that he died that way, and that he killed his stupid friend along with him. It’s embarrassing and tragic. It’s horrible, gross, scary and awful to his family, his surviving friends, his friend’s family and surviving friends, everyone he put in danger and anyone that is emotionally affected by it. So instead of saying he deserved it, I just say, “what a sorry dead jackass.”
He looked more like a brunette Keifer Sutherland.
