Newlyweds die in helicopter crash

The bride's mother will probably keep everyything because the bride's mom is usually a grade A cunt.

You both deserve to rot in Hell, Datalounge or no Datalounge.

Breeders? Who cares.

Too soon, R2?

How much did they have to drink at the reception?

His beady little eyes give me the creeps.

[quote]You both deserve to rot in Hell, Datalounge or no Datalounge.

Oh fuck off and pee in the alley, I said.

We also had threads about the couple that died in a helicopter crash that was recorded from inside the copter, r2, so I assume you told everyone to go to hell then as well? Or are you just cranky today?

Christ, the pilot probably died of old age en route. He was as old as dirt. You couldn't pay me to ride in a helicopter, far too dangerous.

Sad.

How much did they spend on the wedding?

Saves them the eventual cost of divorce attorneys.

It was dark outside. One report said that the pilot radioed for assistance prior to the crash; another report said the helicopter crashed into a hill. Helicopters are dangerous. If you want to make your wedding special, why not just hire a limo?

I hope they didn't vote early (you know they were Republicans).

That'll work...

They just had to show off by leaving in a helicopter.

She was an agricultural communications major. Let’s imagine her future tweets: “There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow.”

If you cast your vote early and then die before Election Day, does the vote still count?

The guy is in hunting gear and is probably a deplorable. If they were dems then I totally feel sorry for them.

They lived on ranches, the best way to get out of an isolated ranch is a helicopter.

Very sad.

Why was he wearing hunting gear on his wedding day? I swear it’s like these people think “what if somebody doesn’t know that I am a red neck for one day? Can’t have that!”

He wasn't . That was their engagement photo.

An isolated ranch? They have roads. This was pure showboating. After all, have to have something to post online.

LOL @ R15

The fates were punishing them for having a cash bar.

Dead deplorables? We should be celebrating

Yep, the wages of Trump sin. Hitler couldn't have done what he did without the support of millions of Deplorables.

At least she never had to find out he was gay.

They looked like brother and sister.

Did it crash right after taking off, in front of all the guests?

Or maybe she'd just found out R25.

The secretly gay (and in love with him) best man sent her the link to his Grindr profile and she killed them all in a fit of rage, sending them plunging to their fiery deaths.

The family has requested donations to the NRA in memory of their 2 angels. And thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry to report the bride was indeed a deplorable.

They said it would be the thrill of a lifetime, and as it turned out, it was!

They never fought once the entire time they were married.

Old Gramps was the pilot..maybe he had a health "scare" enroute."

RIP.

I have a good friend who has been obsessed with airplanes since he was a kid; he has a pilot license, flies tiny prop planes, and always makes fun of me for having flight anxiety (I'll fly commercial in a jet with the help of a drinkie-poo or a xannie, but would never fly in one of those tiny Buddy Holly/Patsy Cline planes).

Despite all of this, even my friend says he would never set foot in a helicoptor. Too many moving parts, too much can go wrong, they are more challenging to fly, and if something serious goes wrong, they just drop like a rock. A malfunctioning airplane can at least function as a glider and you can survive a plane crash. In a helicoptor, you're just gonna drop straight down.

They're fucking dangerous, and people who get into them like this for showboating reasons are as stupid as smokers, barebackers, and people who ride motorcycles without helmets. Combined.

Darwin wins again.

What is agricultural communications? Do you learn to improve communications among bovines? What the hell is it?

Frau was cute. Rip

R10 WW. The rest? Envy induced. It is DL afterall.

Two less deplorables. Shrug

Two fewer, too.

R28 has the scoop.

She was out of his league, looks wise. Did he have money?

R30 thanks for the link

Was Grandpa even licensed? I can't find him on the FAA website.

Great idea, R11! What could possibly go wrong by hiring a limousine . . .

R42, I wondered the same thing, because the article mentions that they were married on the groom's "family ranch."

DL Texans, are people with a "family ranch" usually well-off?

Wedding Crashers

Della FTW!!

Ugh, she was retweeting Cruz on her Twitter.

And Laura Ingraham. And Trump. No sympathies for her.

JFC, her Twitter feed is nothing but deplorable twaddle and hardly anything about her fiance.

Her father dressed up as Medea for Halloween!

That looks like a retweet from a black girl, R52, rather than blackface.

But, yeah, the bride's Twitter is awful. Here's something else she retweeted:

"Men were made to pursue Women were made to be pursued

Men lead the relationship Women support

That’s just it. That’s God’s design"

He’s wearing camo. No loss

Two votes the Repugs won't get. Silver lining and all that.

They may have voted early, tho....

R53, gee what do you think about God's Design now, dear??

Shucks, r48, you're sweet. But, 47 replies and nobody had posted it yet? 12 or 15 years ago, if that film had existed then it would have been an r1, and not by me.

I wondered if they crashed in front of guests too.

LOL R15

His Twitter bio: Speak English

Yeah, they seem sweet. Hopefully their families and friends are too heartbroken to go vote tomorrow.

Yeah...it really did kill you girl.

[quote]It kills me that there are still ppl out there that support HRC 🤣

Hillary did it!

LOL, r62!

Would not surprise me R62. Next on Fox News: "Bride who criticized the Clintons killed leaving wedding. Do they have an alibi??"

How fucking sad is it to be in that time in your life and so caught up with politics? You're in college, you're getting married, going out with your girlfriends, etc. She should be having the time of life. Instead, she's bitching about liberals.

That's awful, Della at R47.

Dave Pitts sounds like a DataLounger:

Getting married that young is usually a mistake R65.

So this couple dies in a helicopter crash on their wedding day. They go up to heaven and at the gate St Peter says, “Hola. ¿Cuales son tus hombres, por favor? Necesito saber si Estes en mi lista. “

The groom yelled “Speak English!”

And ~poof~ they disappeared into the flames below

There's always time to be a racist asshole R65, until there isn't (obviously).

So sad.....

Yeah, I wrote tus nombres and they were changed into hombres by spell correct

Yep, the groom is not rich but his daddy is (relatively).

They say liberals are obsessed with Bill and Hillary, but yeah...we aren't the ones tweeting about the Clintons leading up our wedding

So sad they died before the honeymoon and died virgins.

"I am the proud wife of Bill Byler and mother of three wonderful children, Brenna Byler Smidt, Lynette Byler Parrott and William Troy Byler III. I have two sons-in-laws, Caleb Smidt and Rowdy Parrott and two grandbabies, Cru Tatum Smidt and Pacen Jude Parrott."

These names are like redneck bingo

Shortest marriage in history. It's sad, snark aside.. didn't get the chance to start their lives.

Here's the groom's sister's wedding. I guess helicopters are a thing at their weddings.

Your Toast.

"If you cast your vote early and then die before Election Day, does the vote still count?"

Good question. I would think it would. You can officially vote early - your ballots are being officially cast on the day you vote (if not counted). So, once you do that, I'd think it would be binding, just as if you voted and died on election day.

my father was a pilot and helicopter instructor in WWll and Korea and I Wouldn't go up in the helicopter with him.

Helicopter Parenting is out.

I wonder how they'd feel to be a CNN headline

How do you pronounce Ballee - just like Bailey?

R67, who is Dave Pitts?

Also, here's the groom's Twitter where the bio says "Speak English". Why didn't someone post the link? Is it because you're posting from a phone, and it's a cunt and a half to link to something on DL on a phone?

I feel sad, but mostly about myself, that I can’t bring myself to care about them after learning about their Deplorable status. I guess politics have become so entrenched and divisive that they’ve blotted out my sympathy, which I don’t like.

But then again, I feel less guilty about laughing aloud at R31, r32, and r37.

Trump voters. Good riddance.

No, I just didn't care R84 because he had...9 tweets. Not much to go through

Actually hunters who own ranches in Texas tend to be less redneck than rich white cowboy-wannabe. They are closer to Don Jr. than Cleetus.

^ I meant Della at r47, not r37.

I don't even feel guilty R85, fuck these people. They're happy to put kids in cages and shoot refugees at the border. Hell, they're the ones who want to deregulate everything including aircraft safety.

Ps, I think R75 deserves an honourable mention as well. Redneck bingo, lmfao.

[quote]When they arrived, family members who had reached the site in a private helicopter were already there, she said.

Well, someone had to get the jewelry.

This is taking "something borrowed, something blew" too seriously.

Who the fuck hires Stan Lee to fly their chopper????

tee-hee, r92

Yikes, R91. That appears to be a new detail. That's sort of horrifying. I can understand why they went ― perhaps they hoped that someone was still alive, and could be saved. But can you imagine picking through the wreckage of a helicopter, locating the corpse of your child or sibling, and then staying there until dawn?

Did he have a thick dick?

Bad ending for Ellie May & Jethro

This is what happens when you 'show off' that you're leaving your wedding by private chopper.

Hard to imagine that people are dancing on these kids’ graves over politics. It makes you wonder about the right side.

Btw, for the poster who botched about the border, Obama started the policy of putting kids in cages. Hating Trump doesn’t change that fact. The difference is that Obama never ended the policy.

Thank you Breitbart reader at R99.

The helicopter belonged to the fug groom's family so yes, his family has money and that's why she married him.

Rich and stupid apparently R101.

The helicopter's pilot, Gerald Green Lawrence, 76, of Houston, also died in the crash in northwest Uvalde County, KPRC reported.

I'm sorry, I'd be nervous about a 76 year old DRIVING at night, much less flying a chopper. Who the hell approved that idea?

r99 just makes up shit.

Unlike Trump, Obama did not put kids in cages. Obama housed families together. Your guy Trump is a despicable disgrace. Own it,

The pilot was my prom date.

[quote]This whole bride experience has been much more than I’ve ever dreamed of and we still have so much left to do. Thanks for all the lovely memories❤️💛💗💗. I am such a lucky lady.🍀🍀

R99, I was the poster who lamented my failure to sympathize. I hate that it’s come to this and I hate how it has affected my world view.

But I never once in a fucking split-second wondered about the right side. Least of all on the eve of Election Day.

What are the odds Dad's ranch has undocumented workers on it? 90 or 100%?

R107 No idea about this ranch in particular, but lots of people in Texas have “ranches” where they have some land and a house, but it doesn’t really work as an operating ranch. Sometimes they will have some animals, but again, not an operating ranch. It’s highly likely they didn’t have anyone working on their ranch at all. My grandmother, who was the daughter of a big time Colorado rancher, calls snobbish calls these places “ranchettes.”

Excuse me. I mean ‘snobbishly.”

Yep, r108. Folks call their weekend place a ranch but don't do much more than clear brush off the land (like when Bush was in office). It's a status symbol for the well-to-do.

Something nice: their families didn't see them die and there's a good chance they were too buzzed to know what was happening

A wedding guest wrote this in an Instagram tribute to the couple:

"How awesome to spend your honeymoon with Jesus."

Insane R112. I saw a few of those.

Really? r112? We'll trade with you, give us your Cancun tickets.

I talked about the border R99, and fuck you with your Obama whatabout bullshit.

No one wonders about the right side any more, we all know the right side is full of nazis like you.

What R90 said. I have a lot of compassion but for dead racists not so much...

The unhunted animals are happy. The only good deplorable is a dead deplorable. Glad they couldn't breed more deplorables and kill more animals.

R112, judging from their social media posts, I’d argue they probably ended up considerably farther south 👿 than even Texas.

The mid-air three-way with the ancient pilot had no other possible ending.

Aviation DLers, what are the odds that having a 76 year old pilot at 2 am ISN'T the cause of the crash? 5? 12%?

R120 A probably tipsy 76 year old pilot who had recently married a gal who looks 30 years younger than him...

Snort

When your friends are NUTS:

"To see all of the people that loved these two so greatly is a blessing. As a Christian, I know that God’s hands are upon them and what better honeymoon could anyone ever imagine than entering those gates and spending their first days as husband and wife at God’s right hand."

At least they're not using the line that Republigod Reagan ripped off about "slipping the surly bonds of this earth"

It IS weird, isn’t it, when you realize that the country is so divided that you’re actually unsympathetic if not GLAD when people like this die in a crash.

These people are hastening the demise of this country. They want it to become Nazi Germany. They’re too stupid to realize what a fraud and criminal Trump is.

Fuck ‘em.

The replies on this thread are disgusting and an embarrassment to gay men. What if 2 gay guys died after their wedding and you saw a message board calling them all kinds of nasty names and jokes like you did. You should be ashamed of yourselves, I'm ashamed of you. And, no, I'm not from iVillage.

She was psychic R125

If that happened R126, deplorables like these two would be saying it was God's Justice for ruining marriage

And if we found out the hypothetical helicopter gays were Deplorables, the thread would have 600 replies and DL legend status overnight.

Regardless of who it was, I'd still say an 80 year old pilot was a stupid mistake

The guy was pretty cute though.

Look at r30 's link. the bride's fb page shows her as a trump deep ass licker.

I bet they were so thrilled to have a veteran as their pilot. As though enlisting has any effect on the aging process

So...his family's chopper. His family's pilot.

How long until her family starts suing?

Yes, R126, I wonder what these two said about the Orlando shootings.

What was on their iPods?

Pilot's daughter: ""My father was very close to everybody at W.T. Byler. That included the Bylers themselves. He attended any function that was requested of him,” said Lawrence De Samaniego. “They asked him if he would do the honor of escorting the bride and groom to their honeymoon destination, and it was his pure honor to be able to be in that moment with that family and share that experience.”

Separate burial plans. I wonder if this will get ugly.

[quote]"How awesome to spend your honeymoon with Jesus."

OMG-- they had a three-way with the gardener on their honeymoon? Now that's tacky!

[quote]What was on their iPods?

"Up, Up, and Away."

This tweet aged badly: It kills me that there are still ppl out there that support HRC🤣🤣

And barely a week old R141

Imagine being days from your wedding and caring about Hilary

This beautiful godly couple is spending their Honeymoon with Jesus quite literally. RIP. Shame on all of you with these cheap, tacky jokes.

Have hot air balloons gone out of style?

It's hard to care. They both scream Republican.

All of this lame social media wedding showboating needs to end the same way

R110–What is the purpose of clearing brush? Are they going to cultivate the land, or is it just so they feel like they are working the land? A hobby.

Aww. Can you imagine? The music blaring from the cockpit, Karen didn't even get to finish her sentence.. " We only just beg..." Whomp, whomp

They're being buried separately. If her married name is left off the headstone, I'd say her family is definitely suing

R138’s link says her funeral will be in Vidor, which is notoriously racist. Just FYI.

Of course her family will sue, they may as well cash a check on their little gold-digger.

The article doesn't say anything about separate burial plots, R149, just separate services.

Isn't it ironic?

From Wikipedia. Jesus fucking Christ.

Vidor was once known as a "sundown town," where African Americans were not allowed after sunset; it was long considered a haven for the Ku Klux Klan. In 1993, after the U.S. federal government attempted to bring African Americans into Vidor's public housing, the Klan held a march in the community, prompting African American families to move out within a matter of months.[1]

Death done did them part.

Two less Republican votes.

Schadenfreude Sally gives this thread TWO THUMBS UP!

I doubt her family wants their daughter in his family cemetery R151

Voting for Trump and having a 76 year old fly a chopper in the middle of the night takes the same brain power. Sad for their families, but...Darwin

OP, why is the passing of 2 completely unremarkable straights given its own thread on a gay gossip site? What’s the gay connection or relevance?

It’s like posting about Italian opera on Gizmodo.

[quote]What’s the gay connection or relevance?

Two men, blown and flamed.

R147, it's just so they can feel like big, tough men and not much more. Don't get me wrong, some do purposely clear brush to landscape, to set up hunting blinds, etc. But for most, it's running around their land on their ATVs, drinking beer, clearing brush, shooting guns and maybe doing some hunting.

I saw that R112 and thought “holy shit, what a weirdo”.

Vidor is a no go zone for black. Yes, this girl was probably a true deplorable.

I would like to gift a nighttime helicopter ride to the Palin family.

The ariticle only mentions one burial so it looks like they might be buried together. Still her family can sue but what are the grounds exactly?

Bailee Byler?

With a name like that, I’d wanto to die in a fiery crash, too.

Was the helicopter departure the big finale of the groomsmen’s dance?

R165 It was his family's chopper and 100 year old pilot. If I lost a loved one under these circumstances, my first thought would be "whose genius idea was THAT?"

She loved retweeting Ann Coulter, she was a total Republicunt.

Glad they're dead deplorables , the ranch was probably supported by government handouts, like the Pioneer Woman's

ANY PICS OF HIS SEXY BAREFEETS ?

Helicopters rule.

They were two very fine people spread over all sides of the county.

Perfectly fine send off and then..

Two less votes for Ted Cruz!

Jesus needed two more deplorables

I'm more sad about the loss of the perfectly good helicopter.

Dear George and Laura,

Thank you for the lovely silver butter dish The kids are dead and living with the Baby Jeebus now, but we'll appreciate your thoughtful gift always. Bless.

The Ackermans

Awkward!

Whoa there r178! Ackermans? That sounds very...not Christian.

Those names at R75! Rowdy Parrott?

Cru Tatum? Pacen Jude?

I, for one, look forward to see how that Gap Playlist Troll foists himself on this thread.

What's up with the separate visitations (or calling hours) for these two? Surely they new the EXACT same people! I'd be pissed if I was expected to go to two separate visitations - but then I'd also be trying to figure out how to get my wedding present back (hey, I could still use that Williams Sonoma GC even if they're not!)

Brazilian bride helicrash.

Another BBH, with a less happy ending.

Do deplorables shop at Williams Sonoma?

R180 there are german (and very christian) ackermans, as well

They died in the family helicopter on the family ranch. Very JR Ewing. Am guessing avaricious sibling cut the fuel lines.

goddammit R186, the pilot couldn't see a damn thing.

(quote)Bailee Ackerman Byler (Agricultural Communication senior) What the F is “Agriculture Communication”??

Ackerman with one n is a jewish name. They must have converted at some point.

Netflix Queue:

I can’t even stand night driving in a car and that old fart was piloting a helicopter in the dark?

Piloting a plane in the dark for a wedding can also be tricky.

Tell us about it, asshole r196!

R75 ROWDY PARROTT?

Wasn't Rowdy Parrott the wrestler who starred in John Carpenter's "They Live"?

[Quote]ANY PICS OF HIS SEXY BAREFEETS ?

Here you go

Thoughts and prayers to all their loved ones who are too brokenhearted to vote today

Oh and fuck this guy for being a “steer wrestler” in rodeos too.

It means you gets a degree in talking shit R191

[quote] What the F is “Agriculture Communication”??

Maybe she was studying to be one of those cattle auction people

Dear Lord in Heaven!

Pilot's family is going hardcore telling the press it wasn't his fault.

Maybe...wait for the report first?

R75 Rowdy Parrott is a hotty! See him on his wife's (the late groom's sister) instagram.

What the hell kind of name is Rowdy Parrott?

And that's "hot"?

An interesting glimpse into the mating rituals of deplorable lower primates. I feel like Dian Fossey looking at their IGs.

And of course sis is a Rodan+Fields rep. The cliches write themselves.

Ewww! Rowdy Parrott has MAN BOOBS!!

R211 - I wonder if sis is going to go after Bailee’s R&F clients now that she’s, umm, “out of the picture”, so to speak.

We'll never know if he was circumcised or not.

This just gets even sadder. Absolutely NO ONE thinks you’re pregnant now, sweetie. Thanks. K.

Have the Breitbart conspiracies started yet?

"The preliminary report released by the NTSB on Tuesday does not list a definitive cause for the crash. According to meteorological data gathered by the safety board, visibility was at 10 miles and cloud conditions were clear. Winds were at about 6 knots, a light breeze."

GEE...COULD IT HAVE BEEN THE 100 YEAR OLD PILOT??

Maybe agricultural communication is like the farm report, etc. I grew up in farm country and remember hearing talk on the radio about stuff like "slaughter cattle futures" (which sounds so bleak).

As a European this whole thread was fascinating to read and better than most TV shows. I cannot believe people like this actually exist.

Thanks, Obama & Hillary

So is agricultural communication preparing you for a job as a lobbyist? Or is it a MRS. degree? I don't get it and I'm a Texan.

From R215 Twitter post:

[quote]we are 5 days out

If she only knew how prophetic those words really were.

R217 God is going to get me for laughing so hard !

pilot was 76; no spring chicken but not 99!

R224 he was closer to 100 than 50.

[quote]What the hell kind of name is Rowdy Parrott?

A really, really, REALLY fucking stupid one, that's what kind.

And he has moobs.

AND he made a fugly baby that looks like Trump straining to take a shit.

The kind with a son named Pacen R226.

Have they revealed the crash cause yet?

The "happy couple" have a new niece...Myla Pearle.

JESUS CHRIST.

[quote]You couldn't pay me to ride in a helicopter, far too dangerous.

Yet you happily jump into a car and drive off, with a MUCH higher accident and mortality rate than helicopters.

Notice when people die in a helicopter accident it makes the news. Does each auto fatality make the news? I wonder why that might be?

I cannot believe someone had the poor taste to write some shit about spending their honeymoon with Jesus. It’s almost like a challenge to normal, human reactions and feelings. No need to mourn! They’re spending their honeymoon with Jesus, and grandpa!

The only good spin on this, is that at the very least, this couple had an opportunity to spend their last day on earth surrounded by people they love, and these people who they love, were also able to spend the day with them. By all accounts, it appears to have been a fun wedding.

RIP, and condolences to their family and friends.

Is it just me, or is there a carnival-like difference in size between #1 and #3?

R176 The Bessette family were quite upset with JFK Jr for wiping out 2/3rds of their family, and while they didn't sue, they "reached" a settlement with the Kennedys for $15 million. JFK Jr was solely responsible for both Bessettes' deaths, hence the exchange of cash

R232 here

Correction: the Bessette family did sue the Kennedys by filing a wrongful death claim on behalf of Carolyn and Lauren.

Likewise, the family of the dead female deplorable could file a wrongful death claim against the family who owned the helicopter and allowed the elderly and ?tipsy pilot to fly it.

They should. At 1:00 am, I wouldn't want to get in any vehicle with someone pushing 80

So...do you all think the tuxedo rental place will return the deposits?

I don’t feel great saying this, but they’d be alive right now if they weren’t so fucking extra. Then again, they’d probably be expecting a horribly named baby by now and planning some retarded gender reveal stunt that may have killed them anyway, so maybe this was all for the best.

She would have eventually become a widow, anyhow. The husband like to wrestle steers to the ground. These aren’t very smart people.

It had to be said.

Think of all the designer candles that will sit on store shelves, unloved.

Rowdy looks like he's got some Hispanic in him.

As for the couple....someone gifted them a rapture and they probably weren't polite enough to send a thank you card.

Amateurs!

[quote]Rowdy looks like he's got some Hispanic in him.

They both had some Hispanic in them. Didn't you see that they spent their honeymoon with Jesús?

A day in the life of Rowdy Parrott:

A conversation with Rowdy Parrott could easily whip up a person’s appetite. The 24-year-old professional steer wrestler comes from Mamou, Louisiana, and has Cajun cooking in his genes, whether it’s with game he’s harvested or crawfish that his family raises. “We eat a lot of wild game,” says Rowdy. “We get duck, squirrel, deer, all kinds of different things. You can put squirrel in rice gravy, and ducks, we breast them or bake them, or cook them in rice and gravy too.” Rowdy grew up knowing where the food on the table came from, helping his family farm until they switched to raising crawfish four or five years ago. They raise the crawfish in ponds formed by rice fields. The crawfish burrow underground when the rice fields are drained and harvested, then return to the surface when it rains and are harvested from November through July. Rowdy’s family harvests as many as 400-500 sacks of crawfish a day, and he helps with loading and shipping them to restaurants and stores.

More about Rowdy:

Rowdy also loves hunting with his family, especially duck hunting with his dad and brother. “We love it. We get up early in the morning and go hunting in the rush fields, and we have some pretty good dogs. I have a cousin who does the training. It’s so fun; it’s addicting. Duck hunting is usually fast-paced. You might sit in a blind and talk, and deer hunting is more quiet, sitting in a stand and waiting.” As much as he enjoys the action of duck hunting, Rowdy likes the quiet of deer hunting even more. He hunts white-tail deer on his in-laws’ ranch in West Texas, where deer season runs November to January. “They’ve done a lot of work out there, so it’s all set up. Duck hunting is fast-paced, but I like sitting and watching all the deer and being outdoors. My wife, Lynette, likes to hunt. She doesn’t do it as much now that we have our son, Pacen, but she went with me a couple times this year, and I’m ready for Pacen to start getting old enough to do it.” While Pacen isn’t quite old enough to go hunting yet — he’ll turn 1 in May — he is a seasoned traveler already, trekking down the road with his parents since he was 6 weeks old. Rowdy met Lynette through rodeo, competing with one of her cousins before he started pro rodeoing. She rodeoed in high school and continues to ride horses with Rowdy. “I couldn’t do this without my family,” says Rowdy. “They have been amazing and always supported me and helped me get up and down the road.” He’s the first in his family to rodeo at this level, though his grandfather fought bulls. “We showed cattle and would always go to rodeos. I just liked it and decided I was going to try to do it, and I got hooked!” Rowdy started with team roping and made it to the NHSFR in 2009, followed by winning the LHSRA state title in steer wrestling in 2011. “I used to do all the events, but I just love the rush that you get steer wrestling, and the contact. I’ve always loved it since I first started,” says Rowdy, who made four trips in all to the NHSFR. He and his parents, Mitch and Tammy, and brother and sister, Remey and Tobi, also traveled to the IFYR during his high school career. Rowdy won PRCA Steer Wrestling Rookie of the Year in 2014 and made his debut at the WNFR in 2017 riding his gelding George. “To go there and do it was awesome — there’s not many other words for it. That topped it all, and I wanted to do better, of course, but I was satisfied with my first NFR and I’m just ready to go back.”

Any word on the official cause of the crash?

If it's not pilot error, I'll be shocked

embarrassing relatives + "lost invitation" = trouble

False equivalency, R229.

First of all, I live in a large European city and don't drive here. Walking and using public transport is generally better for your health. It's why Europeans aren't as fat as Americans. And before that, i lived in San Francisco and relied mainly on Muni and BART. I hate dealing with traffic and parking.

Even still, driving cars is unfortunately an inescapable part of life. Most people have no choice but to drive if even just to get to work and back.

In contrast, there is zero reason to ever get into a helicoptor. Zero. So people dying in helicoptor crashes is a bit closer to Darwin Award territory than just driving a car.

Any updates?

This is one funny thread, between these old pilots, oddly named babies and people who fight with huge cows with horns(I know they’re male cows) and eat squirrels with rice and gravy. Blechhh! And they kill Bambi’s mom for fun. I feel like a foreigner. wait, I am a furrner but is a Cru a boy or a girl?

Good riddance

You next R249

That is hilarious. Bravo OP, for such a heartwarming story. Made my pussy all warm inside.

Karma is real!

"Leftys"?

Sorry for their family, but no one needs that level of stupid breeding.

These deplorables have been dead a year, stop dancing on their graves.

“Rowdy also loves hunting with his family, especially dick hunting with his dad and brother.”

Fixed it.

For fuck's sake R249 Davida Poo, stop bumping old threads.

R254 the baby names in that family are bad enough

That ancient pilot sho was a hot piece of man ass back in the day!

R259 that gets your cunt all wet? Puke. Looks like someone let the air out of his face. 100%. Wizard.

I just saw crazy Cruz on CNN...he is a deplorable and there will be no redemption. God knows he has always been completely disgusting, why do Texas vote for him?
