Jackass Star Ryan Dunn Killed In Car Wreck

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...tscH_blog.html

Sadly, there's a lot of bogus news circuling that Ryan in fact faked his death, but this is as real as anything, be weary of what sites you visit when finding more on this.

Terrible. I spent some time with video camera emulating Ryan and his friends' antics when I was in high school. He was a great entertainer and though I lost interest a while back, he seemed to be somewhat of a pioneer in that specific form of entertainment.

He was my favourite 'Jackass' by far. Although I ain't been following him for a while, i'll miss his hairy face.

Likewise, quite a shame. I was just watching Jackass 3.5 yesterday too...

MTV2 had a Jackass marathon the day before he died. He will be missed.

Although I never liked Jackass, I'm saddened by his death. He'll be missed by those who liked his work. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans.

When every other thread in /b/ yesterday had Ryan's pic in the starting post, I went to check his wikipedia page and found out. What a pity.

He endangered peoples lives not to mention killed his friend, even if he wasn't drunk driving there was no need to go that fast. He died for doing something stupid and in the process put other people in danger, I don't get how he can get any sympathy, sure you may have enjoyed his work but that doesn't justify his stupidity.

This sucks. I grew up watching Jackass. But I do not feel bad for him. He was driving drunk and was being an idiot going fast in his ''cool'' car. It sucks that people are dumb and die for it.

No one here has justified anything. He was an entertainer and a lot of us found at least some pleasure in the "career" he pursued. The only person here to offer any form of sympathy was bubblyshell and that went out to his family which makes sense since they had nothing to do with the accident but now have to live with the outcome.

Reckless driving is dangerous and inconsiderate and it's unfortunate this happened. I do not justify anything but death is a tragic event for the most part.

Of all things he went through that could've ended his life, it wound up being a car accident, it's a very tragic end for him and he will be missed. I won't doubt that there will be repeats of Jackass on MTV, VH1, and even Comedy Central to remember him.

Yes, I sent condolences to his family and friends. I don't condone what he did because I think it was stupid, but it's still tragic for his family and others.
