His last stupid offical act. The area was risky for swimers and the sign said so. Maybe they couldn't read. The life guard didn't want to risk his life for trying to save a kid who disregarded the sign. I don't blame the lifeguard, why should he risk his life for a dumb kid. I bet you couldn't pay the other two to go swimming again.

Very good, Tom. Very, very good. Such a sensitive guy."Last stupid official act?" "maybe they couldn't read?" "Dumb kid?" Wow! You are so sentitive. Let me ask you this, Tom. Have you ever done anything stupid? Or dumb? Made a mistake in judgment...ever? Probably not, huh? Based on your comments I take it that you are the most humble, perfect, infallible person who has ever lived. Am I right? Maybe you can teach the rest of us in the world how not to ever do anything stupid and dumb so we can be perfect like you. I'm sure the young man's family will appreciate your sensitivity to this situation and listen to you , the perfet being, teach us all how to be the faultless, superlative human being that you are so that we never ever again make erros in judgment like this young man did that unfortunately cost him his life.
My condolences to the family. To you, Tom, get a life.

First let me say I'm sorry about the kid drowning but if he had been black all of you would assume he must have been on crack or gangbanging. But because he was a white kid you are ripping some smart@#$ to bits. You are really showing your true "colors"!

No I'll be going to heaven. Wrong place, wrong time and you will die every single time. You can feel sorry for people doing stupid things that cause them their life, I don't. When I was 10, I couldn't swim at all, so do you think I ever went swiming? NO, because that would have been stupid and I would have drowned. Case closed stupid. If a sign say's don't swim, no lifeguards, will your child go into the water at that point. Your child will, mine will not.

Perfect, hell no. COMMON SENSE, outstanding, and it has kept me alive for 51 years. Teach you idiot's, I don't think so, because you will not obey the signs. Face it, it is what it is, and what he did was just STUPID. Teach your kids better, and they will not do stupid things when they are with their friends.

Tom, you didn't answer my question. Have you or have you not done anyting stupid, dumb or made an error in judgement? Huh? I'm sure you have but pride may keep you from admitting it, at least publicly anyway. And about the teaching thing; you know kids won't do stupid things if they are taught correctly, when they are with friends. Is that from "Tom's book of expertise on child rearing?" Bad manners still corrupts good morals; that is an everlasting truth. If you happened to be right about the teaching thing (your'e not)you should market it; all of us "idiots" who apparently don't have "common snese" like you would greatly appreciate it.

My children were friends with Johnny Garcia even with the other two boys I just cant believe what has happened, all the kids would get together and be out side for hours playing soccer, all the kids on this block are good kids.It just saddens me that this has happend now you look out side and there are no kids out playing . It would never be the same for anyone on this block .My heart goes out to the Garcia Family thoughts and prayers are with you. Torres Family
