Teenagers Order Takeout at Fatal Crash Site

personally, i don't think there's *any* excuse for the behavior of these teens except for sheer callousness.

bingo. my thought exactly. I just want to go to them and shove their pizza at them.
 
there is a specific disorder that causes people to be completely insensitive to the needs of others. unfortunately, i can't remember what the name of it is. i think i'm going to do a google search or check the online version of the dsm to see if i can find the term. if jillio is reading this, perhaps she can tell us the name of the disorder i'm thinking of.

i wouldn't doubt it, really. the only thing i can relate this to is the incidence of people undiagnosed with bipolar. in many cases, people remain undiagnosed for as many as 10 years despite displaying symptomology that represents bipolar. many of them (like myself) were diagnosed with major depressive disorder (mdd) prior to bipolar.

Nah. These teens probably watched too much of action movies that they just wanted to enjoy the real action while they re getting their food. :noway:
There is no rationale for their actions when there are others who happen to be around and trying to save car accident victims.

i don't understand how action movies can cause two teenagers to be so callous. i bet they have a mental illness which explains why they are so insensitive to the needs of others.

It is possible that teens watch too much of "Jackass: the movie" whereas people getting hurt physically are being glorified and meant to be funny.
 
OK we aren't professionals and we haven't met these two teens personally, so lets stop trying to speculate and diagnose these two as anything but complete knuckleheads.

In the US you can be held liable in court if you are involved in an accident and if the other party is unable to contact for help, and you are but don't, I think that's something along the lines of fleeing the scene or failing to contact authorities to report an accident. If the other party had died because of their inactions then they would have likely been charged with vehicular manslaughter.

exactly! all these horrible consequences and legal repercussions that will change their lives..... and they ordered pizza? :scratch:
 
The only reason I find Jackass mildly amusing is because these guys WANT to inflict pain on each other, and they all agree that they have to take their licks and go on and call it entertainment. A lot of their stunts are planned and staged where pain is purposely inflicted so they bring it upon themselves when they break something. I'm sure in their contract it is written than MTV is in no shape or form responsible for any injuries that may occur due to the idea behind the show which saves MTV from lawsuits and in their shows they also warn viewers not to duplicate the stunts themselves and that MTV nor Jackass the show is responsible for any harm for not heeding their advice NOT to engage in such behavior. But alas teens are stupid and believe they are indestructible and will do it anyway. Im willing to bet that a number of judges have already thrown out numerous lawsuits against Jackass and MTV when someone got hurt trying to duplicate a stunt, especially after seeing the warning to NOT do so.

Somehow Im sure the parents of these teens will eventually find a therapist that will justify their behavior as some sort of 'rare' personality disorder or mental disorder which sadly makes a mockery of those who really do have such ailments and really would rather not have it so they could lead a relatively normal life.

if the parents do find a tdoc who makes such a diagnosis as a means of excusing the teens' behavior, then that therapist is unethical and should lose their license.

besides, who are WE to say whether or not these teens are mentally ill? only a trained tdoc or pdoc can determine that.

if truth be told, i feel the same level of frustration towards people who try to use bipolar as an excuse for uncontrollable anger, rage and/or an inability to deal with life's problems (i.e. "i couldn't control my temper and acted that way because i'm bipolar."). bipolar disorder is a *chemical imbalance* -- not an excuse for bad behavior.

when people truly diagnosed with bipolar have problems with impulse control, judgement and/or anger, it is because they have a chemical imbalance that cannot be helped. in other words, they do not choose to act out on these behaviors.
 
The article did not write much... I rather wait until update comes then I can say anything more.

Its plausible, yes, that the teens could have a mental disorder. For the most part teens who are old enough to drive also have the ability to say, "OK, we've just been involved in a serious accident we need to call the authorities straight away!" Whichever one that came up with the idea to order takeout needs to have his butt kicked and then whichever one agreed to it needs to have his butt kicked for agreeing to such stupid behavior.

At best these two dumbasses have the mental likeness of a 3 or 4 year old where they still cannot grasp the concept of reality versus fantasy and have trouble reacting to whats real versus what's in their head. Basically what it comes down to is, these two expect someone else to take care of all their problems. Teens like this shouldn't even be allowed out in public without competent ADULT supervision, let alone DRIVING! (Although Im willing to bet they took the vehicle without permission and both were unlicensed drivers)
