This dumbass drove onto the semi frozen river Saturday, did a few doughnuts and sank his truck. His friend got out before he attempted this stunt and walked to the police station to report it. While our candidate for this year's Darwin Award was playing on the ice, it crashed through and his poor dog perished.

I really hate people. And I hate when animals pay for human stupidity. Happens far to often. He needs to be charged with animal cruelty in the dog's death.

What a dumb fuck.

I'm with Biker on this. As far as I'm concerned, that should be equivalent to manslaughter. Stupid fuck.

Dunno if you guys read any of the articles on the second link, but "animal rights activists" are calling for severe charges for the dog. I hope they prevail.

Heard on NJ 101.5 this morning that he's being charged with criminal mischief and they are considering animal cruelty charges.

Good. Stupid ass.

Why didn't his friend take the dog when he opted out of this stunt? What kind of moron goes on the ice after it's been in the 40º's all week? the ones who are bucking for the Darwin Award is who.

He was probably fucked up or something...but still a dumb fuck. I could probably give him a pass, I mean he probably didn't want to kill his dog. But if he got lippy with me I'd have to beat him to death with a tire tool.

At 27 years old he should have known better, fucked up or not. They posted his picture on that second link.

We've all done stupid shit in our lives, but I bet none of us was so reckless that it took the life of another being - pet or human. Hunting does not count.

They were discussing yesterday afternoon on Diminsky and Doyle (I caught the replay @ 2am today).

According to witnesses he did try to save the dog. After he was pulled out he jumped back in and tried to get the dog out and had to be pulled out a second time. So he really did give a shit about the pup......dumbass stunts aside.
