“Then Bama’s a genius.”
Oh for heaven’s sake, lighten up you guys. This isn’ some heavy psychological thread, nor is it a political one. It’s a kid, not an adult. Geez, what a couple of downers. Go have an alcoholic drink. You need one.
I have to disagree and assert you misread the article.
He acted on what he knew (prior experience with pumps that he had access to), didn’t think it through and ended up causing great damage, never getting his phone.
The article states he has diving gear; a ‘genius’ would have found his way into the water with it. He’s also so ‘bright’ that he didn’t use widely-available apps to save his contacts either on his phone, the cloud or backed up on another PC/laptop/Pad/phone.
He’s a spoiled little brat unable to grasp the consequences of his actions, selfish & egotistical and, worse, unapologetic.
Sound familiar? See prior comment.
