would he have done these thing if a lot of $$$ wasn't involved.
Why can't he cook meth or start a GoFundMe page like Americans do?

Uh, they cannot be charged if they're dead.

It's not allowed, this is extremely illegal, but people still do it for the thrill.

He was an "internet sensation", which gets to peoples heads when they have a large following. This is why "prank" videos exist, because they get a massive amount of views.

I mean they should be charged just for posting it online. It is being allowed. This nonsense needs to be shut down. There is nothing that can be done about people killing themselves, but it's just a matter of time before one of these stunts kills an innocent person, if this is allowed to continue.

I also think YouTube, Weibo and others should be pressured to shut down those type of channels. The websites should not be profiting from this conduct.

Actually, aren't we pretty similar?
Don't you look down from your high horse?
And I laugh at your stupidity.

The difference is you are happy about other people's misfortune, I'm not.

How on earth are there people who sit and laugh and mock someone's death? What the heck is wrong with some people? Keyboard sociopaths? I hope that sits well with them

Does a bird need a high horse?
How dare you suggest that enjoying someone's death isn't normal behavior.

nope not even close. I don't look down on others on here and post like you do, you judge posters, I laugh at what people do.

Sure.
I judge posters. Just as you judge people who do stupid things.

Most people define stupidity as stupider than themselves.
As such, I probably laugh more at stupidity than you.

I don't wish bad things on anyone
That's the part I have a hard time accepting. People rooting for bad things to happen thinking they aren't bad people

And we know the man in this video who lost his life is a "bad person"? Please explain.

We can debate if it was stupid...but I don't laugh at stupid.

And karma? Again, please point me to the legitimate source that says karma was in play. Was he a rapist? Murder? Child molester? I mean...it has to be something pretty big for karma to right it by him losing his life.
