South Carolina Teen Decapitated By Batman Ride
BOY JUMPED TWO FENCES INTO RESTRICTED AREA AT ATLANTA THEME PARK
FITSNews - June 30, 2008 - A South Carolina teenager was decapitated by a Batman-themed roller coaster after trying to sneak back into the Six Flags amusement park in Atlanta, GA, last week, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution .
The boy, who has been identified as seventeen-year-old Asia Leeshawn Ferguson, of Springfield, S.C., was on a church outing at the park when the incident occurred.
From the story:
According to police and the amusement park, Ferguson and a friend climbed over two 6-foot fences — a wrought-iron style park perimeter fence and a second chainlink fence around the Batman ride — as a shortcut to get back into the park after lunch. Signs about 40 to 50 feet apart on the outer fence warn that it is a “restricted area” for “authorized personnel only.”
According to park officials, a sign on a locked gate at the chain link fence also reads “Danger zone” and “Do not enter.”
Ferguson was decapitated when the ride struck him, police said.
“It is still unclear why the two men were trying to gain access to this unauthorized area,” park spokeswoman Hela Sheth told reporters Saturday, reading from a prepared statement.
Yikes. Sometimes there’s just not much more to say than that …

He was supposedly trying to retrieve his cap — probably a baseball cap.

unknowns, reggie, and like minded folk, when you leave this world, we’ll be sure to say their once less asshole in the world.
A kid died. Did he make a dumb move, you bet. But, calling him stupid and saying one less idiot, well that just shows how big of an asshole you are. His mama might be reading this.
I guess you call some kids not too much older than the kid at Six Flags idiots for signing up and going over to Iraq.
You can really be that big of an asshole. It has to be some online thing.

No comment about someone giving head?

awww, im so sorry calhoun, let me get a tampon and clean you up. a
im just mad that the kid didnt use common sense and ask a groundskeeper to get the hat for him. and i dont really see how iraq comes into the discussion of a decapitation at a theme park.
so, MS. fawls, i swear that if i hear you call me an asshole when i die i will proably cry in my own grave and sulk over the emotional overload from your heartless comment.
im pretty sure that when you die i will be like “one less bitch to worry about”

reggie, maybe you can use one of your daughter’s tampons after you molest her you sick ignorant bastard. may god have more mercy on your soul when you die than he did on the rest of us for putting you here… you are such a waste of life
By reggie on July 2nd, 2008 at 7:10 am
ha! i find that humorous on so many levels!
geez dad, i could have sworn that you told me that you would never pms on the internet like this, oh well.
seriously, why are people getting mad at me about what i said? i just said the truth and that was that the kid was being stupid. i actually wasnt the one who said “hes right.. one less idiot” (see #5)
and dad, you need to stop being so sensitive. man up

Ignorance can be cured, Stupid can be fatal, as it was in this case. 2 fences with warning signs. Sneaking into a restricted space. Not using that little thing between your ears to acess risk. Yep, stupid. 1 less sperm donor to dilute the gene pool. Now you can yell at me to. Problem is, I’m a vet that understands all to well that stupid kills.

In most cases I refrain from posting comments on this message boards because some person who decides that they’re going to pretend to be Christ-like goes apeshit when someone says ANYTHING other then “I’m praying for his family” or some ridiculous nonsense like that.
First of all in response to you pretentious self-righteous morons, you know you’re laughed at the misfortune of others in the past. Everyone has, many people have actually garnered a feeling of satisfaction at the misfortune of others so much so that there is a word of German derivation that expresses this emotion: “schadenfreude”. Having said that, I doubt people were happy to see a teenager die, however it is natural not to give a shit when someone you don’t know dies or is injured from doing something unbelievably stupid.
Moving on to responses in which people felt it was necessary to chastise Reggie for saying “he brought this upon himself” “he was dumb and he paid the price” “I hate how stupid [people are]“.
First off the dumb red-neck bitch with the pickem’up truck. I’m not sure how making a statement of fact becomes grounds for castration. Perhaps your father should have taken the blade to his own balls before he had a lunatic like you. Perhaps you should keep your computer to the Jesus web sites where everyone who isn’t an Anglo-Saxon heterosexual moron is going to hell; you don’t want to show that you have the mentality of a five year old to people who actually graduated from highschool.
Second, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yea Calhoun yo Mama fo sho will be proud you now a’yuck-yuck-yuck. You actually managed to complete two sentences in that cluster fuck response. Let me rip it apart in pieces. As pertaining to your opening paragraph “like minded folk… we’ll be sure to say their once less asshole in the world,” I’ll be sure to say there is one less moron in the world who doesn’t say “once less” and uses the correct forms of THERE. Next, I’ll paraphrase here, ‘he made a dumb move but you’re an asshole for calling him stupid’. I’m not sure the logic in which death allows you to be free from folly ;and, those who make any statement that in anyway portrays the deceased as being less then perfect become assholes. What makes a person stupid Calhoun? Well usually a stupid person does dumb things; if they did intelligent things then they wouldn’t be stupid. I’ll prove this with my flawless logic: you are stupid, I’m sure anyone with any decent education would agree with me so this is our axiom. My argument is stupid people do dumb things: my supporting evidence?–your response. And who gives a shit if “his mama” is reading this. Would she be shocked that others think her son did something stupid, or would she find this shocking (just in case you’re curious she’s not). His mother is busy consulting lawyers to sue the shit out of Six Flags and planning a funeral, she couldn’t give less of a shit what bloggers are writing. Now, your statement which indicates there is some demarcation of parallels that exist between joining the military and climbing two fences that cause your head to get fucking cut off. Joining the military has a purpose, some people unfortunately die but their life helped others. Unfortunately many people have given their life for a cause that was largely fabricated, and we have a bombastic leader because morons like you vote for a moron like George Bush. Ohh remember my argument about stupid people doing dumb things, another example. There is absolutely no correlation of climbing pair of fences and disregarding danger signs causing death and fighting in Iraq you brainless nitwit. Also when referencing people’s comments and attacking them be sure you actually use comments that they actually said, Reggie never said “one less idiot”. As you close you intended on writing “you CAN’T be that big” or you just don’t know English. You can’t even write out a colloquial phrase correctly for God sake: again dumb things stupid people. I rest my case. Now do us all a favor and never write something in a blog again, people like you shouldn’t engage in any activity that requires thought.
Onto the fuckhead who calls himself “Reggie’s dad,” you must think you’re really cleaver with that. I love how you attack people who merely make a brief statement of opinion by saying they’re child molesters. Clearly, you are well educated and present clear, concise, well thought out arguments which articulate and support your point. The rest of your comment is just words strung out that have no meaning presented in that order, congratulations, you’re another fucktard. If anyone is a waste of life IT’S SOMEONE WHO CAN’T EVEN WRITE DOWN A SENTENCE THAT HAS MEANING.
Onto my own thoughts, the kid fucked up big time, he’s 17 so you can’t expect him to be brilliant but you’d think he’d have enough common sense not to go under an operating rollercoaster. I do, feel bad for the family, and it’s an unfortunate occurrence; however, like I said before stupid people do dumb things. Whether I agree or disagree with whatever you guys it would be nice if those who disagree put together some reasoning. I’m always willing to entertain a well thought out response instead of just verbal diarrhea with no cognitive meaning.
Ultimately I do though support you all to speak you minds. As Voltaire said “I may not agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Just expect that when you say it someone else will see it and use some logic.
