Karma? LOL.

They were playing practical jokes, they did not hurt anybody.

Tis a shame.

The ultimate prank would be to ring on the doorbells of their parents and run away. JK

I don't get why people get so upset at kids who ring doorbells and run away. If anything, that's what the kids want and they are rewarding them.

Please.

Don't be completely fscking ridiculous. Wishing death upon someone for putting a whoopi cushion on your chair or some other such harmless prank is a little extreme, no?

I've noticed a few of your posts lately. Do you have "Douchebag" tattooed across your forehead? It would be fitting.

Ban this troll.

Make the minimum driving age 20, safer for the teens and less people on the roads.
Sorry about the loss OP, it is always tragic to see someone's life end so young..

 

[dennilfloss]

We did that kind of silly stuff when we were 8-10yo but had no name for it.

 

[lyssword]

Lol what's the f*cking problem with ringing and running away? I'd be more pissed at telemarketers who call on the phone, just because they are telemarketers
But those are really tragic and unnecessary deaths

I've always heard it called or I've called it by its racial enthusiasm... ****** knocking

Yep, same... I've never heard it called anything else.

The loss of life is tragic, and this case is no exception. That being said, this is what happens when a bunch of rowdy kids are in one car together. If only there was a cop nearby who could have caught them playing their silly game and put a less deadly end to it.

zomg no! not the cops! the cops would have shot everyone in the car and then tasered them and then had sex with the corpses! ****** pigs! :roll:

Classmates wonder if their friends would still be alive had they not gone out Sunday night.

Of course they would still be alive, unless some other events happened that would cause their deaths...

Final Destination?

 

[purbeast0]

when I was a kid and we did this, it was called "Ring N' Run" or "N*gger Knocking". But we never did this when we drove away. We would just do this and hide behind a car or bushes and watch at their reactions.

Oh yah and we also didn't do this at any older age than like 10 or 11.

17 year olds ringing and running? Having to DRIVE away after doing so? Do these people live in the middle of nowhere?

Sad they died though.

I'm not sure what word you meant there, but enthusiasm can't have been it. Euphemism perhaps? But that means the opposite of what you meant. Epithet? That's the only fitting word that I can think of that starts with an E.

 

[zerocool1]

granted however inappropriate ding dong ditching is, this was a gross over-reaction

 

[Mucho]

Teenagers dying while pulling a prank is nothing new.

/raiseshand

i did those stupid things as a teen. we would turn off peoples power at the same time on a whole street just to see how long it took them to realize it want a blackout. we would also cause trouble in the middle of the area we lived in until people called the cops so we could race them into the desert, about a mile and a half run thru peoples backyards (no fences back then). id hate to think that anything seriously harsh like a couple of us dying for boredom fun would have happened. sad that the kid thought he was andretti and killed himself and another.

 

[brandonb]

Lol. I did this when I was 6 years old. Never since.

A 17 year old doing it is not much different than a 17 year old playing chicken on the road with a car. A prank? Maybe, but one thats dangerous.

Seriously, the reason I'd consider ding dong ditch a bad thing. Especially with a group of older kids. Do you realize what burglars do when they want to rob a house? They play ding dong ditch to see if someone is home or not. Burglars which might be armed and harm my family. Especially 3 days in a row. With 5 of them? Yeah, I expect this reaction, and the result.

By the time you're old enough to drive, you should be well past the point of playing ding dong ditch... by about 10 years. It's not suprising that someone with the maturity level to do that type of thing also didn't have the maturity to properly handle a car. It wasn't the person chasing who killed them, they killed themselves.
