Tyler Stasko

...is a murdering little snot.

Last week 20-year-old Tyler and a 49-year-old woman named Carlene Carol Atkinson (what a mature adult she is) decided it would be a peachy idea to engage in a bit of the old street racing on NC 49. You know, that thing young men with high powered cars unsure of their own masculinity do to make themselves feel more manly (and I say this as an insanely androgynous human being), or in the case of Atkinson, simply because she's an incredible shithead.

Oh, and they killed somebody. Three people in fact. 45-year-old Cindy Furr, a professor at Winthrop, Cindy's 2-year-old daughter (TWO!) McAllister (or "Mackie") who were traveling along the public road in their own car, and a 13-year-old passenger in Stasko's car named Hunter.

Three incredibly senseless deaths. Three incredibly unfortunate deaths. Mackie and Hunter were young children yet to reach the primes of thier lives, indeed Mackie was barely of walking age, and Cindy Furr was a long time educator helping to better the lives of young people everyday. And now they're gone. And for what?

I never understood the appeal of street racing, never. And it becomes even more mind-boggling when you consider we live in fucking Charlotte. We have no shortage of racing facilities for these idiots (in fact, North Carolina has a race track in every county, including Mecklenburg!). Yet they insist, they have to show the world how cool they are. It's not cool, it's stupid. Sadly, being stupid isn't a crime. You know what basketball and soccer wash outs do? They play in parks. You are not Jeff Gordon, if you were any good at it you'd be in NASCAR or F1. Stop.

No, being 20 isn't an excuse. He knew better. 20-year-olds are not children, they're grown adults. You can sign up for military service at 17, and by 16 most functional human beings have an idea of how the world operates.

Murder is the correct charge. A car, a two-ton piece of steel, is a deadly weapon when placed in the hands of an idiot. It's like shooting for birds in a Harris Teeter parking lot and then claiming you didn't understand the risk when you kill somebody. Like firearms, cars must be used responsibly.

He should be tried for looking like a douchebag anyway. What a prince *rolls eyes*.

"But IM N DA ARMY"

So, I met this legend on JTV:

[15:05] (flyguy1) JK IM IN COLLEGE SO IM GROWN

This is important to remember.

[15:10] (flyguy1) i was stationed at FORT HOOD TX WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY
[15:15] (flyguy1) im drinking and smoking right now with two girls...im pretty sure averybody would love to see that.
[15:15] (flyguy1) IM MY IS A NONSTOP PARTY 24/7
[15:15] (flyguy1) i get off work and start drinking...invite some army groupies over to chill with me
[15:16] (flyguy1) when you are in the army. you have to stay drunk to stay sane
[15:16] (flyguy1) my fridge is loaded with beer and hard liquor

That's not too bad, I guess. But this is just incredible:

[15:32] (flyguy1) THE AIR FORCE AND NAVY ARE FOR BITCHES...IF YOU WANT TO SEE COMBAT JOIN THE ARMY OF MARINES..HOOOOAAAAHHH

Holy shit.

At this point he was repeatedly informed that the Marines are a branch of the Navy.

He persists:

[15:32] (flyguy1) GO ARMY GO MARINES...HOOOOAAHHH...*** THE NAVY AND AIR FORCE FAGGOTS
[15:33] (flyguy1) IM NOT TALKING ABOUT WWII OR THE NAVY SEALS..THOSE GUYS ARE BADASS

Yea, because those guys have nothing to do with the Navy, right?

[15:33] (flyguy1) IM TALKING ABOUT ENLISTED NAVY AND AIR FORCE COWARDS..

Because the SEALS aren't enlisted, apparently.

[15:35] (flyguy1) THOSE NAVY AND AIR FORCE ENLISTED ARE PUNKS.THEY DONT DO ***...ITS ALWAYS THE ARMY AND MARINES DYING IN IRAQ...I DONT CONSIDER NAVY AND AIR FORCE FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERROR BECAUSE THEY DONT DO ***

Yea, because the Air Force never provides covering fire to ground troops. And none of those ground troops are ever Navy officers.

Oh.

[15:36] (flyguy1) WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD A SAILOR OF A AIRMEN DYING IN IRAQ...ITS ALWAYS THE ARMY AND MARINES SHEDDING BLOOD

Rest in peace.

[15:37] (flyguy1) THE ARMY AND MARINES ARE HARD...WE SOME HARDCORE MOTHERFUCKERS....PLEASE DONT COMPARE US TO NO NAVY OF AIR FORCE COWARDS
[15:39] (flyguy1) AS A SOLDIER IVE BEEN TO IRAQ AND FOUGHT ALONG SIDE SOME HARDCORE MARINES...IVE NEVER SEE NO NAVY FAGS IN IRAQ...I NEVER SAW NO AIR FORCE PUNKS IN IRAQ....ITS ALWAY THE ARMY AND MARINES SHEDDING BLOOD...*** THE NAVY AND THE AIR FORCE.
[15:41] (flyguy1) THE NEW NAVY AND AND THE AIR FORCE ARE COWARDS AND A DISGRACE TO AMERICA...THESE ASSHOLES DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SHOOT A *** WEAPON...HOW COME THE ARMY AND MARINES KEEP GOING BACK TO IRAQ WHILE THE NAVY AND AIRFORCE FAGGOTS GET TO STAY STATESIDE A...
[15:43] (flyguy1) WHY DONT THEY TRAIN THE NAVY AND AIRFORCE FAGGOTS THE SAME *** THEY TEACH THE ARMY AND MARINES AND SEND THEY *** TO IRAQ INSTEAD OF SENDING THE ARMY AND MARINES TO COMBAT OVER AND OVER

Yep. He actually said that. I'll actually provide the transcript upon request.

Feel free to drop him a line.

I mean, I know there are morons online, but this one probably takes the cake.
