I feel really bad for both Dunn's family and the other passenger's family. Not only because they have to deal with the loss of their son/brothers/etc but because they have to deal with knowing it was totally preventable. All I can really say is thank God he didn't kill anyone else. 2 people is bad enough. Huge props to Roger Ebert for speaking the truth. Maybe this will get some people to think before they get smashed and go put themselves and others at risk behind the wheel.
The Jackass fans are really riding Ebert for his comments; coming up with all sorts of alternate scenarios as to why he lost control of the car. That's all well and good. I'm all for not ruling out things like a deer jumping out into the road, but let's list the facts:
He had a known history of alcohol abuse.
He was a notorious speeder (pulled over once on camera doing 167 mph)
He was drinking that night.
The wreckage of the car looks like that Porsche was a large crumpled and burned piece of paper. Cars don't look like that slamming into a tree at lower speeds.
Sure there's a 1% chance a deer jumped out, but there's a 99% chance that the whole thing was alcohol induced loss of control of a car going 130+ mph. Ebert is right on the money.
As someone who's brother died at the hands of a drunk driver, Dunn fans can go fuck themselves with their theories. The thing that pisses me off about people defending his actions is that if it was some sports athlete involved instead of a Hollywood actor people would be right along with Ebert's comments.
