WOW. Liberal-fascist San Francisco is once again responsible for a disaster and an unnecessary death that could have been avoided if it weren't for its backwards, liberal policies. What an enlightened city!

This is the libs doing. How can you blame that on the tea party ?

Maybe SF should worry more about services and funding them rather than go after McDonald happy meals, plastic bags and circumcision.

This is a sad reflection on a society that now, instead of asking what SHOULD I do, based on my conscience or my belief in God instead asks what does the Government, the Union, my lawyer say I CAN do? Pathetic.

This is the opposite of what conservatives stand for. We look to individual responsibility; not government regulations.

isnt this what the tea party wants? Scale back government, individual responsibility and rely on yourself instead of government.

I think many tea partiers are naive about that and dont understand the cops and firefighters wont be there to help them according to tea party philosophy. Scaling back government means cutting those firefighters and local cops as well, tying hands behind backs with policy cuts.

This guys death is a result of that mentality.

Now here is the cold blooded side of me. This guy deserved what he got. He intentionally went into deep waters and was suicidal according to the link.

Why risk somebody elses life for your own selfishness.

What im neutral on is the 75 observers who did nothing.

On one hand this guy is his own worst enemy.

On the other hand it shows the lack of compassion for man in todays society.
I guess i could be grouped in the lack of compassion for man category.
un rep!
