Channel 9 news did a thing on it during the storm. They said overturned kayak and showed a picture. Either way normal people don’t go out on a lake during weather this rough.
And yes people are ready to comment on events of this nature because as we change as a society it seems that there are in fact more either ignorant or just plan stupid people in this country. For instance a look at the news and you will see all those who although there was a river just feet away, left their trailers at a campground in Woodstock to be washed away.
Common sense should have told them to at least move to higher ground.

Look at the father and 2 daughters who had to be rescued from the Merrimack River in Concord yesterday. Real smart thing to do on a swollen flooded river. At least he could have left his 2 young daughters at home.

My question is why are there so many who defend acts of stupidity? Because deep down inside it is something you yourself thought of doing?
Oh that’s right it’s become a normal way of life, just like how lazy we’ve all become now that we have a remote control to do everything except wipe our ass for us.
