It's the thinning of the herd. The folks who were swept away in the US
were down there to take frekin' pictures,

Cite?

they had plenty of warning without another govt boondoggle.

You mean the existing government boondoggle, those tsunami sensors?
The boondoggle that gave the warnings? (allowing the smartest to
flee?)

As far as "the thinning of the herd",
like Wiggy says, "Truly stupid people will find ways to kill themselves
no matter what you do to try to protect them from themselves"... Those
folks who went down to take pictures and tied up the Coast Guard should
have to pay for the rescue and be charged complicit in the death of
their friend... Dumb asses...

Wow! Do you feel that strongly about people that are hurt in
motorcycle racing accidents? Or boat racing? Rock climbing? Etc.?

If they are going down to stand in the middle of the track to take
pictures, then sure I feel the same way... As to a cite, I heard it on a
news report, I didn't read it. The people in Japan had no warning, but
the folks in the US had 12 or more hours to get out.

I agree they should have gotten out of the way... we see the same
thing all the time with hurricanes.

Some people manage risk carefully and some just get unlucky.... then
there are the Darwin Award entrants....

Gene speak with fork tongue! Gene have category called "Darwin Award
entrants", but question me when I call the very same people "the herd"?
That seems a bit.... uh.. Well, you know

When they tell you to got to higher ground and you grab your camera and
go to the beach then you should be shot so that we know you are dead and
we don't have to risk other people's lives to go look for you.

People who involve themselves in risky activities assume the risk. When
I was skydiving I knew that each time I made a skydive I could die,
become physical disabled or break a finger nail.

I think Gene was upset because I called it "the thinning of the herd"
instead of "Darwin Awards"... I think Gene would learn by now, when he
asks for a cite, I don't just make things up like so many here. If I say
it, it came from a news source, not my imagination...

Do you still do any skydiving? My younger daughter wants to try it. Hell, I'd go
with her (maybe).

So.... you are on board with this?

IOW, if a skydiving accident had occurred, all participants should be
charged in the death of the unhappy skydiver and forced to pay for
those emergency services called in response to the accident?

The skydivers were participating in a legal, sanctioned, controlled
activity. These "thrill seekers" who caused the Coast Guard to come in
and rescue them, were like Base Jumpers. They were not in control, not
legal, warned to leave, and went against the safety officials request to
not go in. Yes, if someone was killed due to negligence, a prosecutor
should look at charges just like when a base jumper gets hurt and his
accomplices get charged. There was a incident in Florida iirc where a
group of kids did a bungee off a bridge and one broke his back. Several
of the folks who did the jump as well as the bridge support team were
charged with various crimes. I do not know if any were charged directly
with hurting the injured, but in the case of a death while committing
one of those crimes, it may have been different...

I guess maybe we should continue to fund tsunami warning systems,
which is one of the things the Republicans want to eliminate in their
budget.

gouge in the thread and turn it sour...

Almost everything has a political angle. The GOP is, indeed, planning to
cut the warning service, along with a lot of other programs and services
that protect people and property.

Programs and services that are reef with corruption, payola, and graft.
We can't afford your style of government.
