A shame. People are killed in preventable road collisions with shameful frequency, in the usa compared to civilized nations. Go read the comments on HN threads about speed and red light cameras and then think about the tens of thousands of people dead in America in preventable collisions.

remember that a huge, overwhelming majority of Americans are hopelessly stupid, and it starts to make a little more sense.

"Malschmaster" on FB did the deed. Typical self-absorbed roided-up GenY'er... or at least, someone caught up in that scene. These people make me wish I wasn't an electronic music fan.

(Is it really doxxing if you find someone after 15 seconds of googling? He's the only 21 year old Robert Malsch in Lynnwood, Washington, all information that is present in the article.)

I assure you that there are stupid people outside of America. In fact, the majority of stupid human beings are not American.

> the usa compared to civilized nations

Perhaps there could have been a legitimate point about traffic deaths, but whatever substance this comment might have had is more than squandered by that acerbic swipe.

I feel ashamed of Hacker News to see a thread about someone's death abused like that.

Unfortunate how many humans we have driving cars at various levels of impairment. It's killing so many people.

Drunk driving in suburban areas is rampant and feels almost inherent without real public transportation options at last call. I think most of Seattle's public transit options stop right around midnight.

I drove past this accident Saturday morning on my way home from a friends house. It was fresh... maybe ten minutes since the accident happened. It was absolutely awful.

And now it looks like we've lost a brilliant co-worker. Absolutely awful. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
