Breitbart: Twelve-year-old Timiyah Landers from Detroit was severely injured Friday while attempting to participate in the latest in a series of potentially deadly internet “challenges.”
In the “fire challenge,” people pour flammable liquids onto their own bodies and set themselves ablaze. The activity may sound ludicrous and self-evidently dangerous, but many children are drawn to such stunts in a bid for internet immortality.
SNIP: But Prager’s YouTube videos are dangerous?
I’m waiting for the “Do your homework and obey your parents” challenge to take off
Sadly, Darwin award winners are getting younger.
“Timiyah”?
Sounds Buddhist to me.
No wonder she set herself on fire.
And of course there is a Go Fund Me set-up. Never let a crisis go by without a Go Fund Me account.
Next is the freight train challenge
and the electricity! challenge followed
by jump off a 20 story building challenge.
Yeah, those darned Buddhists have a way with self immolation by setting themselves on fire. Or if she was French and named Jean (Joan of Arc) the English would’ve set her on fire. What about the Superman challenge when you’re a little kid to see if you can fly off the garage?
Get that kid tested for lead paint poisoning. And anyone who does something so stupid.
And there’s always the sticking your tongue on a frozen flag pole challenge, I triple dog dare you.
I would bet from experience that older kids who knew exactly what would happen talked her in to it. A 12 year old wouldn’t do that on their own.
Some people, including children, are so stupid it is, literally, painful.
Setting yourself ablaze is predominately in black culture; sticking your tongue to a frozen pole is predominately white culture.
Choose appropriately; don’t appropriate.
The next challenge shall be the Pelosi challenge..https://youtu.be/X2xlQaimsGg
Heard of a local story yesterday where a kid doused another kid and set him ablaze. Third degree burns to 30% of his body.
These kids are raised by rabid wolves.
What next? Maybe it’s the Stick Your Dumbass Head In A Woodchipper Challenge or a Clamp Your Noggin In A Paint Shaker And Turn It On Challenge
Poor child and family, she is seriously burned. Kids (and some adults) do not always realize the danger, such as flammable clothing and how quick it ignites. This is a sad story.
Tough crowd, Gruff the Goat gets more sympathy than a burned child.
I thought only Moths did this.
These morons are the leftist indoctrinated votors and politicians of the future.
The same idiots who snort plastic, eat soap detergent pods, etc, think they will decide what is free speech, and what (if any) firearms I can have to protect my family.
God help us all.
Keep your powder dry
From above:”Tough crowd, Gruff the Goat gets more sympathy than a burned child.”
Kinda’ doubt the goat offed itself.
LOL@ Lowell….Yep, Gruff feared fire….hell, he ran to shelter with raindrops falling…..
Was she formerly white?
I am not an uncaring person but any 12 year old that does not know that fire is hot deserves her Darwin candidacy. Now hundreds of thousands of dollars are going to be spent on her recovery by either the taxpayer or an insurance company. Either way we the people are going to pay for this stupidity. A go fund me page, pulease.
This is called “evolution in action”! In a way very gratifying to see certain idiots die out……..
Thinking further about this. This is what happens when children are not taught that there are consequences to their actions.
Maybe she didn’t like her back to school haircut and took matters into her own hands.
Feral hoodrats raising themselves and the internet is the babysitter. They learn to “swipe” before they can wipe. Rotten parenting.
