Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

The DA says the case is being treating as a criminal investigation, but all evidence points to an accident.

Negligent. Not accident.

On a semi-related rant, it bugs the ever-living HECK out of me when I click a link to a news story and it immediately starts playing a video commercial where the dadgum PAUSE button and the frickin MUTE button are DISABLED. It isn't even 6:00 am on a Sunday morning and I do not want to wake up the rest of the house.

I have another pet peeve and that is posters who post links without any clue or hint whatsoever as to why we should be interested in it, and in this case not even in the Subject line, and it's expected that we should blindly click on it.

IMO any posts here should at least summarize what's in the link or otherwise post a comment about it.

No, I did not click on the OP's link.

You can disable that. In Chrome it's a setting under Advanced Settings/Plugins. In Firefox you can download a plugin that prevents it. Once you enable them, you have to click twice on a video before it will play.

Proof that rudeness is common enough that people need to take the time to write a defense or download and install it.

Some forums require a brief description of the link and what someone will find if they go there as part of the Forum Rules. Some forums warn if a person posts a bare URL and something in the subject, it will be deleted. Include details or don't post the URL.

I use Firefox with NoScript and allow very few websites to run scripts by default. With NoScript I can manually control when videos play. It also stops sites such as Drudge from refreshing every few seconds while trying to peruse the headlines. (dishonest way to increase "hits")

this tool gives you with the best available protection on the web.
It allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice, e.g. your home-banking web site, guarding your "trust boundaries" against cross-site scripting attacks (XSS), cross-zone DNS rebinding / CSRF attacks (router hacking), and Clickjacking attempts, thanks to its unique ClearClick technology. It also implements the DoNotTrack tracking opt-out proposal by default, see http://snipurl.com/nsdntrack" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .
Such a preemptive approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even unknown!) with no loss of functionality...

I don't agree. Too much unknown information to rule it negligence. The young men do need to be much better aware of what is beyond the target. They may need to spend more range time so they are better at hitting their intended target.
