You know, normally I'm all for Darwin getting his way in situation like this. And I say "like this" because, say I woke up in the morning and saw that these two jackasses were killed in a crash due to the rider's drunkeness...I'd kinda feel like, "Oh well, they did it to themselves. Shouldn't be riding drunk off your ass."
But since this is filmed by someone I feel different. How do you, as a decent human being, watch this drunk-ass start his scooter, almost fall off, start to take off, and lose control almost instantly and not step in and stop him from killing himself and the girl on the back? Instead the guy filming this and whoever else is with him just watch it all happen.
I don't get it. They should have stopped this from ever happening rather than filming it.

WTF? thats bout all I can say. look at the way the chick is barely hangin on, shes more shitfaced than he is. I find it dumb that they both have on leather jackets but neither has a helmet, on top of being drunk that is.

I think I was 17 when I had a couple beers and tried to ride my dirt bike. Never mixed brew with bikes since.
I agree with your thoughts Shifty.

Dude, I totally had the same experience. When I was younger, my Dad got my brother and I into dirtbikes and before long we got into racing. Well, we set up this huge old farm with a supermoto track and some other trail riding and stuff. Once we got a little older we were going out there and camping and riding all weekend. And then one night, I got the great idea to have a few beers and a couple of shots and take my newly set up race bike around the infield of the track. It was the most terrifying and horribly sobering ride I have ever taken. At least I was smart enough to put on my helmet but from then on I never even thought about drinking and riding. In fact, even before I quit drinking a few years back, I would all but stop drinking entirely during riding season.

 which was the real piece-o-5#!+?, the drunk guy or the person with the cam, I vote for the idiot behind the cam, that person should get their ass beat for knowing that person is obviously to wasted to make a rational decision, yet let him ride with a freaking passenger that's in worse shape, and tape it like it's something funny, that shit ain't cool, I think that if they would've crashed the person behind the cam should get charges for allowing it to happen, I know bar owners can get charged cause people drive drunk from their establishment and have caused crashes, the same should apply to this asshole
