Wow, just wow. That's one of the worst analogies I've ever heard.

So this child dying isn't a tragedy?
"tragedy: A disastrous event, especially one involving distressing loss or injury to life."
The word tragedy does not go to intent of the victim, therefore this IS a tragedy. It's arguable that when any child dies that it is a tragedy.

Exactly. I'm arguing that it wasn't a tragedy that this little idiot got himself killed.
