Games rednecks play: girl on innertube towed by pickup

Here is a patented example of people so dumb that they should not be allowed to breed, from MSNBC:

VANCOUVER, Wash. - Authorities charged a man Friday with vehicular homicide in a sledding accident that killed his 9-year-old daughter last winter.

Peter Gecho was pulling the girl, Madison, in an inner tube behind his pickup truck when the tube slammed into a low brick wall Jan. 16, according to Clark County Superior Court documents. Witnesses told police Gecho had been drinking and that the girl was not wearing a helmet, prosecutors contend.

The inner tube was attached to the truck by a rope as Gecho drove along snowy country roads to Thomas Jefferson Middle School, Senior Deputy Prosecutor James David wrote in a probable cause affidavit. Several other people were in the bed of the truck.

On the school grounds, Gecho revved the engine and began spinning "doughnuts" as the tube sailed behind. The tube slammed against a low brick wall at an estimated 20 mph, killing the girl. An 18-year-old man also riding in the tube soared over the wall and suffered only bruises.

Whatever happened to parental negligence in the form of not watching as little Jillian or Johnny decided to go sledding down a steep hill which emptied out onto a busy highway? "Dad" here needs to have the book thrown at him for massive stupidity.
