COCOA, Fla. —

Calling it “beyond heartless,” Cocoa police are denouncing a video that shows a man drowning and crying out in distress, while five teens watch and laugh.

Jamel Dunn, 31, of Cocoa, drowned in a retention pond in Cocoa on July 9, police said. His body was not discovered until July 12.

Shortly after the discovery, a video surfaced on social media that shows Dunn in the water while teenagers nearby mock and curse him, police said. Dunn cries out, and a burst of laughter ensues from the teens, one of whom recorded the video on a phone, police said.

(remembered part of my lifeguard training which was to start punching the person if they did that...it worked).


I took life guard training as well and remember that lesson well. They tend to want to grab you around the head/neck and their panic gives them a kind of extra strength. Does no one any good if the rescuer drowns.

Been a video going around don’t know if you all seen it about a dog that saved a baby deer from drowning. It’s cute. A deer who’s enemy is a dog both found found a friend that day.

Not these scum called humans. Okay they are not trained lifeguards, they can’t even swim but they had either Obamaphones or smartphone how else were they recording this? They did not call 911, not one of them. The thought never crossed their minds.

Think of that a dog is better than them. They are no longer human.

This thread is an ethical challenge. Abortion and no swim lessons both have upsides. Why cheat karma?

It is never too late for an abortion.

"I am the parent of a multiracial child."

And there it is...the one issue that 'triggers' you, just like a LEFTist, and makes it impossible for you to have a rational conversation, or even comprehend the printed word. Its all emotions, assumptions, and presumed motivations.

You should try to improve on that.

Just like every Democrat, you insist that tainted DNA is a deciding factor in behavior.

Meth heads and dopers and children who grow up in single parent homes act the same regardless of genetic makeup.

Except in your biggoted mind.

Just as ANTIFA proudly proclaims itself the enemy of fascism while practicing violent fascism and accusing its peaceful targets of fascism, You practice hard racism while accusing people who don’t believe there is any value in lineage rather than behavior of the racism you personally advocate.

I repeat:

Makes it impossible for you to have a rational conversation, or even comprehend the printed word.

Your recent posting history sounds like Manson on a bad day. I don't know why this one story triggers you so much, but its very unbecoming.

You have never exhibited rationality.

As a matter of fact, when you were faced with refutation of your made up point on this thread by someone whose child doesn’t fit your mold you came up with the brilliant concept that a parent defending their child is “being triggered” and acting like the left.

Make no mistake.
You will be revisiting that assertion and having cause to defend your simile on many threads in the future.

I won’t stalk you, but on any thread I am on thewhere you are pontificating similarly I will repost this conversation and you will get to explain how you were not over the line.

Over and over again.

The Idea that behavior is determined by the manner one is raised, external discipline, and one’s relationship with God rather than genetics is neither delusional, nor “being triggered”, not leftism.

Hold on to your train of thought though. You will be defending it in the future.

Psst, if the only people you meet all day long are assholes...well, you're the asshole.

Not terribly smart, just pretentious.

I don’t live in your little fantasy world

you pissant little dipstick

stop imagining that you were ever worth anything at any time in your unthinking liberal life.

all of this is merely academic to you.

Truly you are a sad excuse for a human being.

It is self serving egotism

Because I won’t join your lynch mob

Yeah, you’re so righteous.

Contrary to whatever drugged imaginings might rattle around in your feeble brain

Let me clue you in, you pompous bigot

you disgusting sh!that

Your sick racism disgusts me

Except in your biggoted mind

You practice hard racism

All of those fit.
These were just some stoned teenagers whose perception of what they saw was shaped by their inebriated state.

They were afterwards scared to report what they saw because they were underage kids using illegal drugs at the time. And because the idiot who drowned himself was an angry violent man.

They need drug rehab, and they need it for a period of several years so it sticks. The military academies we used to have would be ideal.

All of the people calling for these kids to be locked up and the key thrown away or to be drowned themselves or to have their names posted as a fourteen year old living in the same neighborhood as the dead gangbanger are indeed a lynch mob. Or to throw them behind bars with adults.

And the more the lynch mob - yourself included ratchets up their defense of their selfrightious lynching the more I ratchet up the counter attack in defense of these kids.

I am a rehabilitation mind of guy when it is juveniles unless they actively perpetrate violence.

You aren’t going to wear me down on that. No matter how shotty you are about it.

Trying to elevate yourself or tear me down won’t get me to side with the lynch mob. The little mob here has tried saying black youth are beyond redemption or that opposition to the lynching is liberal or leftist or whatever.

Bullcrap.

All those vacuous arguments are pretentiousness, and the people calling for harsh punishments rather than rehabilitation are pompous lipsticks.

>>Lean muscle is denser and weighs more than fat per unit volume. A lean muscular person will therefore have less buoyancy than one with a chubby build or greater body fat, say the physics of that person in water.

Yep. Not all that complicated. Ask any experienced triathlete about the advantages of wearing a wet suit... which adds buoyancy.

It’s also a fact taught to Lifeguards in WSI instruction.

Those basic physics, combined with parents who don’t teach their kids water safety... can be fatal.

Back in college I had a friend who was challenged by Cerebral Palsy. He was very thin - maybe 11% body fat. He and I had a lot of fun trying to teach him to swim, but... he sank like a rock, and unfortunately didn't have the coordination required to overcome that.
