The Shame of Moses


So the Snowboard Idiot has a name.


Ben Moses. Ouch!


His dad and mom say he's always been adventurous. Cute.


How about an irresponsible putz who should be criminally charged and sent a big, big search and rescue bill?


How about banned for life from ever coming near a hill again.


Go play in traffic, please...

On the CTV News, it was reported the 29 year old deceased snowboarder was a long time employee of Whistler Mountain Ski resort. He obviously should have known better.

David: Keep on it, please; maybe one day some of these irresponsible "adventurers" will actually get it. The latest? Father Moses doesn't think it would be fair to lay criminal charges against his son, on the basis that said son "has suffered enough". Well, suffering he may be, and I regret that. But the message I received from the TV interview is that Father and Son Moses still think it's all about them. There's STILL no indication they have any understanding of the danger to which Ben Moses' foolhardy behaviour committed the rescuers. If no criminal charges are to be laid, then the least this family can do is contribute $5,000 to the rescue organizations on the North Shore and/or Whistler.
