Hagiography

Proposed headline: " Rapist who played a children ' s game for a living dies flying af.ing helicopter to his daughter ' s basketball game. "Think about this. Routinely getting around town in a helicopter is absurdly self-indulgent and environmentally irresponsible,as the LA Times kind of hints at but doesn ' t exactly want to say, because you know, a WaPo reporter got suspended for linking to a perfectly legitimate news article about the time Kobe Bryant raped a 19 year old hotel clerk. The helicopter Bryant was riding in costs about $5,000 an hour, so let ' s say he spends 2 hours at the basketball game, we ' re talking $20,000. Can you think of anything else to do with $20,000? And could an unemployed guy find the time to spend an hour driving each way in a minivan instead? Maybe.Actually dying in private plane and helicopter crashes is one of the few occupational hazards of being obscenely rich. Golfer Payne Stewart died when his Learjet depressurized and flew on autopilot full of dead people before running out of fuel. The carnage among the plutocracy is substantial, actually, more than 300 deaths a year. Commercial aviation is far safer, by a couple of orders of magnitude. But I guess it ' s worth the risk to separate yourself from the little people.
