Tragic Irony...

Actor made famous for Street Racing movies was killed while riding along with a friend who was recklessly racing around town. I heard that the wreck happened just down from the charity event and that several of his friends was at the scene trying to extinguish the fire. His daughter was at the event but unsure as to if she was present when the vehicle was still burning.

R.I.P Paul Walker

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the friends and family.

What a pity.
According to IMDB, Walker starred in at least 40 TV shows and films, two of which were still in production, including the latest installment of Fast and Furious.

Think of people in the military, or police officers, or Hell, most anyone else, who has died this week. I'm not happy the guy died, but this outpouring clearly, powerfully illustrates the stupidity of our culture: signifying the trivial, and trivializing the significant.
Why are military or police officer better than Paul Walker or say, my grandmother? Why do you get to say who others should mourn?

I would like to separate myself from **** like this ^^^. yes - Fast and Furious is the douchebaggiest franchise in history, and yes, Paul Walker movies were probably in general not good, but that doesn't make the guy a bad person, and I don't want to come off as being glad that the guy died.

The driver, Roger Rodas, was 38. Walker was 40. Weren't those men just a bit old for this reckless juvenile street racing BS? Grow the hell up already! Especially if you have a 15 y.o. kid to think about. The Fast and The Furious movies have contributed to much of the decline of our society in the past decade or so, and undeserving of having had that many (or any) sequels.

Do you have statistics on this? Any proof whatsoever?
Probably not? Oh, okay.
