Stupidity Personified

[Irene]

This is one example of why people in other countries think Americans are freaking retards. This idiot shouldn't get one damn dime.

MISSION VIEJO (CBSLA.com) — A man known for his thrill-seeking jumps, now in the hospital with two shattered feet after missing his mark at a Laguna hotel pool, is asking the public for help with his medical bills.

Anthony Booth Armer, 28, is laid up in the hospital for the next four weeks, has casts on both feet and expects two more surgeries. He says he feeling all sorts of pain, but not regret.

"It's super painful," Armer said. "They took the wrapper off yesterday I was in shock almost."

"I'm itching to do something. It's no joke," Armer said.

The daredevil YouTube sensation says he's taken a lot of heat on social media because of his GoFundMe page raising money for some of his medical care insurance won't cover.

"What am I going to say to haters? I'm so sick of people hating me for doing what I love and going at it full force," Armer said.

While dozens of fans donated, some commentators expressed little sympathy for the daredevil given the high-risk nature of his antics.

"Just seeking a little support to keep doing what I'm doing or else I'll be working the rest of my life to pay this off," he said on the page.

In October, Armer jumped off Newport Towers and posted it onto YouTube and was cited by police for trespassing.

"I don't want to be arrested. I'm not hurting anyone."

So when will the daredevil give up the tricks?

"When I die," Armer said.

Armer says he is making plans for a jump off the Golden Gate Bridge.

All I am going to say is he needs to accept responsibility for his actions
There is no cure or fix for stupid

I remember helping take a teenage girl down to the O.R. probably 15 years ago.  She had done something similar and shattered both ankles.  She really wished she hadn't done that.  I think we all did dumb things as teens.  I have no clue why adults continue to do dumb things.

Shasta, me thinks they watch too much television and plays too many video games; what gets me is this statement:

"Just seeking a little support to keep doing what I'm doing or else I'll be working the rest of my life to pay this off," he said on the page.

I hate to tell you this, turkey, but you did it and considering we are supposed to be responsible for all our actions, you should have to pay for it, not us, considering your actions are nothing but grandstanding... and stupid...

didn't impress me in the least...

He should be made to go on the OYO program.  On your own!

He almost made it, so he will probably try it again.  Jackass.

Next he will probably sue the hotel because their railing wasn't high enough or something.  No sympathy from me.

He needs to work the rest of his life to pay it off.  People in the medical professions get really tired of people like him.  I have an extremely low tolerance for non compliant patients.

This whole thing made me furious because I pay about $500 per month in insurance premiums for specialty care, which is a sizeable chunk of my pension.

This guy's stupidity and hubris are one reason why responsible people are paying through the nose for health care. "Jacka**" comes to mind as well.

He should be prohibited from collecting donations to cover the cost of his retarded behavior.

I do realize this happens elsewhere. The YT videos from Russia are always a hoot, but they aren't asking for money to pay for the consequences of their stupidity.

[The Seeker]

What gets me is that a lot of the sheeps will donate to help pay his medical bills  I have a difficult time trying to pay mine much less for his stupidity...

Off topic, but I have to post it. I want people to enjoy it before I forget it, which is five seconds after I post it.

I need a list for everything.

So dont support the man by donating, if others do then theyre free to and thats their problem.

Theres certainly more important things people can help out with than this guy, like helping the thousands of children who die every day from preventable disease, but people usually dont think/care about that, out of sight out of mind

I dont have a problem with this, stupid people will donate and help for all kinds of ridiculous stuff, thats their problem. I mean morally I dont condone what hes doing, but im not gonna hate on a guy who gets stupid people to donate to his cause lol

Start your own gofundme, guranteed stupid people will donate lol

Just do right by you

My point is that his behavior has consequences for people he doesn't even know. Health insurance premiums increase.

For example, many young male drivers in the US pay higher car insurance premiums because they act irresponsibly behind the wheel. This affects young male drivers who don't act like fools behind the wheel.

I confess I'm probably a cause of increased health care premiums. I have a lot of serious medical issues.

Foolishness should never be encouraged, especially when it is grossly negligent.

I saw plenty of stupid out on the roads yesterday.  I don't understand how so many people absolutely have to get out in the weather.  The schools were closed.  The roads were a disaster.  People went out wandering around anyway.  Yes, I was out in the mess.  I had a responsibility to my patients who needed their meds.  I would have much preferred being curled up with several cats and a book.
