    Take this racism ....
    Supporters of Presumption of Guilt come in all races.
    Unfortunately supporters of Presumption of Guilt come in both genders as well.
    Male supporters of Presumption of Guilt will also be presumed guilty when accused.

    Everyone must think twice before

    -- flying in a private helicopter
    -- riding or driving a motorcycle
    -- buying a gun
    -- smoking

    I have argued against dangerous items for a long time.

    Never ever put your loved ones in an unnecessary risk.

    I'd extend that by saying that regardless of the vehicle, don't tell the driver they they have to get their regardless of conditions.

    Youtube is full of videos of crashes by cars, trucks, bicycles, etc. in bad weather/snow/ice. Why were those people driving?

    Helicopters and motorcycles have fatality rate 25 times as high as cars. Definitely no one should risk the lives of themselves and their family.

    The only political issue here is regulation of dangerous items.

    Well, I think it will come out that the pilot was breaking the law by flying in those conditions.

    And, there was an easy legal alternave - landing at the Van Nuys or Burbank airport when he was there - then tell Kobe that he couldn't make it the rest of the way, so he would have Uber the last 25 miles.

    He was an affable great black athlete. The key word being black. Do you really think the Grammy's would have given a **** about him if he were white? It's like their own parent died.

    The bad news is that you can die from thousands of causes. The good news is that only one will kill you.

    Don't you want to go to heaven? You have to die first.

    You do realize that people die in accidents every day. Fathers, mothers, children, families. This is quite actually an everyday occurrence.

    This ain't our Daddy's Republican Party anymore. The reason they hate Trump so bad is because acknowledging that Trump turned Obama's stagnant malaise around in less than 4 years, means looking in the mirror and saying we were wrong. That my friend will never happen.

    Oh but there is with our comment about philandering and you making a statement of not caring because...!
    You make excuses for one and hate the other.

    However, your thinking is not complete.

    I am not afraid of any opinions. But people should not risk their and their family's life by using dangerous forms of transportation -- like motorcycles and helicopters. Using alcohol and tobacco should also be discouraged by high taxes.

    Thank you. I am not for any unreasonable bans.

    But anyone should think twice before endangering themselves and their child.

    ~ Don't be surprised if the toxicology report on the pilot comes back positive. I am guessing amphetamines.
