People who find joy in seeing people hurt themselves are disturbing....
People like this are a threat to society.
People who hurt themselves to be accepted by those people are just as bad
@@simplypaul8681 that’s what I was thinking too either way bad
@@simplypaul8681 That is a dumb person’s idea of a smart thing to say. Desperately lonely folks who will do anything to be accepted are not as the bad people that will inevitably take advantage of and hurt them. Wtf is wrong with people.
Peer pressure is a part of growing up and possibly learning to stand up for yourself but his peers were clearly a bunch of idiots
@@simplypaul8681 no one deserves brain damage regardless if whether they fall victim to peer pressure.
A friend of mine turned 21 and everyone in the bar bough him a shot of top shelf spirit and dumped it into a jug until there was literally about 1.5 litres of it. They cheered him on to drink it and unbelievably he chugged the entire thing. Half an hour later he had a massive brain haemorrhage and was rushed to hospital. He survived and was incredibly lucky not to have severe damage but he was never the same again. This reckless attitude towards alcohol has to stop.
agreed.
I don't know why people have this sort of attitude with alcohol. Nobody would shoot you up with a gram of heroin for a hazing. They're practically the same. Alcohol is a potent drug, It's withdrawals can kill but everyone turns a blind eye to it.
the bar should have been held responsible tho.
@@eveningstar6700 What bar ?
@@Gatorade69 Heroin and Alcohol ARE NOT PRACTICALLY THE SAME WHAT. Not even close, not even remotely close. The only similarity is that they're depressents, and have the possibility to shut down the CNS, causing you to stop breathing, which is hard to do with alcohol.
I used to ride the bus with him and his sister during middle school. They are such a beautiful, sweet family. This family didn’t deserve this nor other families who suffer the effects of hazing. Those frat guys are so so cruel and evil!! So glad the frat got kicked off campus and hoping this family gets the justice they deserve.
Well duh. All fraternities and sororities are evil.
He’s guilty to tho. There needs to be self responsibility in this world. At 19 I understood the stupidity behind drinking a bottle of vodka.
@@Sean-kv1uj He should not have drunken the whole bottle I agree. Drinking until blacked out is sadly normalized though and he probably thought he would be okay. There is definitely a lack of education around limits and alcohol that needs to be addressed. If we look at intentions though, the frat is to blame. New members wanted to fit in and the frat took advantage of that with the ill intentions of hurting them or wanting them to get sick. They were careless and it cost someone’s life.
@@Sean-kv1uj A lot of them will be beaten/forced to do it if they say no
@@katyaoleynik dawg just leave
I'm not at all sure that Danny would feel it "fortunate" that they got his heart started again. What a dreadful way to live out your life.
It seems like the ultimate claustrophobic nightmare. Oof
19 year old kid. Has 60 years left ahead of him in this state. This kid living in hell
I honestly would prefer they don’t get my heart restarted if all my sense were destroyed like that
@@Pwn3540 give me about a thousand units of insulin, thank you.
@@Pwn3540 they probably restarted is heart in hopes of the brain damage not being as severe as it was. The poor thing was probably left untreated for hours before getting to the hospital.
This is a fate worse than death. Your whole personality, your memories, your potential IS your brain. They killed Danny and left a barely functioning husk, and unfortunately because that husk is still "alive" they wont me charged for manslaughter.
and they should be
I mean, he chose to comply
@@walkdeep but its weird to me they didnt call 911.. idk the kid was dead in cardiac arrest and they didnt call 911.. that just seems off to me
@@pancakes0886 it happens all the time with young folk. They either make light of a situation that is really serious in hopes that it really isn't serious because they know if it is serious they're in big trouble. Young folk aren't great decision makers and think of their own behind more than others.
@@pancakes0886 That’s not odd at all. They either didn’t take the situation seriously enough, or they were so scared that they’d get in trouble, they decided not to call. That’s how young folks are, and why it’s so important to be safe and let people you trust know where you are cuz these other people don’t give a f*ck. There are all sorts of videos depicting similar situations on UA-cam and everyone always says why didn’t anyone do something… because these people don’t care.
Poor kid had his whole life ahead of him & it's been destroyed. I feel so sorry for him & his family.
I feel bad but he literally did it to himself
@@AndrewB23 Don't victim blame, he was forced. Fraternities are cults.
bro what it’s a frat
Now is the time this kid has to thank God for spearing his life, because if he died he would been in hell, he needs to repent for this sin of drunkenness and worldly craziness and get close to Jesus 🙏 to see if He heals him. Im sorry for his parents, they should come to Christ too and all fix their lives for good.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes unfortunately. Sad for young man.
💔... those other kids who were responsible for doing this SHOULD be held accountable... I'm so sorry to his family...
The kid made his choice. He's NOT A VICTIM.
@@mikehodges4629 Wrong Mike. He didnt drink this much himself they chugged it in him
Why did he obey? Why is it important to join such fraternity?
@@DnMProductionStudio He chose to be part of the hazing crap that IMMATURE college kids do. Nobody forced him too.
@@Graceandjoy46 exactly 💯
I feel so awful for him. Being unable to see, talk AND walk sounds like torture. Especially when you have the memory when you could before. You’re essentially a shell with only the memory of how you were before. I can’t imagine what he is going through. Puts things in perspective for me and makes me realize how grateful I am to be able to walk, talk and see.
DAMN!!
MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO BETTER IN YOUR LIFE THEN
@@90fif lol what? i’m not a crappy person i just sometimes don’t think about what i have and how this video puts them in perspective for me. its normal💀
@@Butterfly-ll7mm don't feed into their energy bro just keep doing you, people like them aren't capable of rational thoughts or reading sympathy they just hear what they wanna hear and see what they wanna see, hope you have a good day
Honestly, I would probably want to just die at that point if this happened to me.
@@bigtimmeh thank you🙏 have a good day as well
Fraternities are very scary sometimes. The things they practice.
Fraternities should be banned.
I know some stories that’ll blow your mind!
@1993DJC It's just a bunch of poser white males and college people that wanna party and get paid that's why these people are so desperate to join any type of initiation that awaits them no matter how dumb it is
They all need to be ended.
The only reason they exist is because alumni from fraternities have a higher chance of giving large money donations back to the university. That's it.
Parents should teach their children years before they head off to be independent in a college setting that you can say no when someone asks you to do insane things in order to join a fraternity. I've never understood the whole idea behind those things. They seem like just an excuse for partying and getting drunk. Teach your sons that they are going to college for an education and not to be pressured into foolishness.
I was never in a sorority, but I was very shocked when I found out one of the campus advisors was the top leader for one of the sororities on campus. They claimed to be doing volunteer work and helping the community. And they claimed they required a very high GPA. I don't know.
@@cb.1212 Then you just don't get into the fraternity or sorority. It's okay. I was a resident advisor for three years in college and would tell my freshman advisee's this all the time. You have to think of, and for, yourself.
@@vanessab.c.7806 Sororities are a little different. Not so much physical hazing as opposed to psychological.
Some fraternities are very cruel, I have heard of other stories. This should not be allowed to happen. Fraternities should open to the University and declare what their practices are before they are allowed a permit. And be penalized when a minimum deviation to what they declare happens to a student.
@@ROSITALJ Colleges will never do that, because then the school could be sued - and will most likely have to cough up some money.
The fraternity system, at its core, is a networking platform for like-minded people (read: privileged, depending on context). Their very existence goes against the virtues most universities try to epouse in today's climate. The schools will stay out of this.
I went to college with a guy who ended up in a wheelchair after being hazed. It was so sad. No one should ever go through this and the guys who did it need to be charged !!
Wow they stole his future what a shame
@@cb.1212 they physically force you
@Pork n jeans
They did force him, genius. That's the point.
@@rishiy6183 no they don't
@@ccdogpark u seem slow
1:48 Describing it as "nearly 6x the legal limit" is almost laughable in how poorly it contextualizes such an amount. Forget about "legal," this is well into LETHAL territory.
Insane how you can be expelled from a university for plagiarism or cheating (not saying that's wrong) but students encouraging and pressuring dangerous behavior that led to extreme brain damage and almost /death/ of another student...and they just get some vague "sanctions" against them. What are the priorities here
Honestly this should be one of top comment underrated asf
Money. The answer is Money. Holding the other students accountable means expulsion and therefore no longer recieving tuition payments. It also means rich parents of said students likely contribute financially to the institution and thus would stop because their kids actually faced repercussions for their actions.
@@moonshine8990 Came to comment the same thing.
schools teachers they just want your money. they don't care about your kid. the only real education these kids get is at home. Thats where it starts but shouldn't end there.
You can also get expelled for misgendering someone yet this is fine. Got it.
This is honestly worse than death in my opinion. The parents are constantly reminded everyday that they have a nearly brain dead son and nobody is held accountable, they will never feel closure.
If I'm dead long enough to be like him I rather they just let me stay dead instead of bringing me back
who bought the 19. yr old liquor who poured it
They'll get away with it because they're White. There, I said it.
@@K-newborn the fraternity members?
@@K-newborn yeah, but who drank it?
Those who did this to that kid must be prosecuted and FORCED to pay for their victims care for life.
So heartbreaking 😭🥺
If he was given the bottle and told he was expected to carry it around all evening, but nobody _forced_ him to drink all of it, or indeed _any_ of it, who are you proposing be charged? It seems to me to be as much a tragic accident that Danny was ignorant of the plain fact that drinking that much distilled liquor would literally be suicidal.
@@pulaski1 it’s called coercion, they taped it to his hand and he was expected to drink it. Maybe government should take some of the Tax revenue from alcohol and put it in to education about the negative effects of alcohol. But the only bad drugs are the ones the government doesnt tax I guess. Alcohol is glorified more than any other drug. They don’t tell us it doubles risk of all different kinds of cancers including breast cancer. Smh.
@@juliabouzan1739 Unless you were there, following him around all evening, I'm gonna write that off as a myth made up to support your narrative. His tragic situation is highly unlikely to lead to a successful prosecution for anything other than some misdemeanors.
They need jail time ! !
@@blueforest2927 Who? For what? .... If any prosecution was attempted, which I doubt will happen, any lawyer with half a brain could drive a coach and horses through any attempt to prove that someone "did" anything to him, other than "supply alcohol to someone underage" which is unlikely to be punished by anything more than probation and a fine.
I had pledged a frat as freshman in college with my friends at time. One of the things they did is lock us all in beer cooler and my friends were panicking that there might not be enough air. I dropped out of hazing and sent email to entire house just telling them I really didn't care. It created quite uproar which wasn't my intent. After my gf at time and I broke up (my fault) one of frat brothers dated her as "revenge" for me dropping out with that email. I ended up transferring colleges to one that wasn't based on frats and made new friends while I was there.
Frats are pretty toxic in general. College parties are fun on rare occasions, but frat parties? Wack.
so glad i’ve never gone to a party like that. only drink a bit with small group of friends or family on occasion. my uni doesn’t even have greek life. probably for the best
This is terrible. My heart aches for this young man and his family. There needs to be accountability!
No doubt. The guy who accepted and agreed to drink the vodka should accept responsibility for his actions.
@@bricktop6216 Exactly. He wasn't forced to do it, however, they should have been watching him and called 911.
He was peer pressured to fit in with the group...a lot of these students are in this position. This is not just the result of his actions...the other boys are just as responsible and should have known better. Nothing good results from drinking 1 L of any hard alcohol in 1 sitting. Also the fact that they didn't watch him closely and let him slide off the couch unresponsive for who knows how long is neglect to the fullest extent. At that point they were responsible for ensuring that he was okay and they failed to do so
Same goes for kids or teens we've heard about that have pressured the other to commit suicide, they are also being held accountable for pressuring the person instead of preventing it. This is basically the same result
@@AngelikaBtk I suppose McDonald's is responsible for people being overweight also??? After all they go beyond peer pressure and take it to a whole other level. They spend millions of dollars to advertisement companies and to market research companies to figure out the best ways to get you to buy their food. Should we hold McDonald's responsible for these people being overweight??
I agree with the attorney. It is unacceptable, and it should never happen again! Universities also need to stand against this type of behavior. This young man's life has been forever changed. What an atrocity!
The problem is that something like this might happen in an University at all. They're not middleschoolers
I don't understand why parents send their children into this kind of trouble. This is not a new fraternity incident like this. This has been happening for a long time.
This young man's life is over. Brain damage!!! How cruel of those frat boys!!!
The worse part is this happens all of the time and nothing ever changes. It's not so much the Universities not inciting changes but it's the Greek Charter that maintains what they call "tradition" and it's that bullshit mentality that leads to these incidents.
@@cainharris84 Does this Greek Charter condone this kind of activity? And if so we need to get rid of it.
This is why it's so important to teach our kids the importance of saying no to peer pressure! If it doesn't feel right or sound right, DON'T DO IT! Teach them about alcohol poisoning as well!! Too many people don't really know the dangers! So sad..glad hes alive but man this is just heartbreaking that his life has come to a bit of a halt because of this..smh
He’s alive but not really: doesn’t have any quality of life. None of us in our right mind would want to live like this. Criminal charges should be brought against them.
I honestly don't know a person alive my age or younger who wasn't taught these dangers growing up. Every single last person there should have known better, including the kid who went along with it.
@@RighteousRage well you've met one today. All I knew about alcohol poisoning was that you had to go to the ER to get your stomach pumped. IDK if it was your parents or teachers that taught all the people you know about this but I was never taught about what alcohol poisoning actually does to the body..so kudos to your parents and/or school systems for educating you all
@@mindofzena8447 I didn't know it could end up being as bad as it was for poor Danny either just like you I had no idea it could end up being as bad as what happened to him poor guy it's SO sad! :(
And no one ever looks at the parents in terms of accountability (not necessarily prosecution) but there have been cases such as this before and parents need to be telling their teenagers about it - including showing footage like this. Not only kids going off to college campuses, but all teenagers. This can happen just as easily at a house party in high school.
The fact that our medical system did everything to bring this man back to no quality of life is what truly terrifies me. I'll always tell any and everyone around me let me go if I'm this bad off, do NOT do everything for me. Mother nature just knows what's best more times than not.
There’s so little of value to continuing on at that point. You can’t even really interact with the physical world. I’d be begging to have them let me pass on so I could be free.
They should at least give him the opportunity to choose to end his own life. He can still hear right? Well they could probably find a way to get him to give a "hold your eyes closed if yes" type response to give him that choice.
@@343Films pretty sure he’s gone mentally. Alcohol is a neurotoxin so the main area that got damaged was his brain
@@343Films sheesh what a terrifying thing to think about 🥺
100% agreed…people seem to think that life is this ultimately valuable thing that *needs* to continue, regardless of the accompanying torment. There are fates worse than death, people…
The kid just wanted to be a part of something and his brothers let him down. I wish nothing but the best for him. He deserved better than what he got that night.
Don't they ALL wanna be a part of something?
At some.point students need to be their own advocate and stop going thru with these hazing rituals. Idc about brotherhood, after so many reports of people dying because of hazing, i wouldnt go thru with it.
those weren't his brothers 🤦♀
Whats the difference between fraternities, gangs and thugs? Isn't it all a brotherhood? Never understood why fraternities and sororities existed in the first place. Isn't college supposed to help develop critical thinking skills and a sense of self? Being part of a fraternity is the most anti-thinking and anti-self as it gets.
His abusers killed him. There were no "brothers", just a bunch of stupid, irresponsible kids doing whatever they wanted.
This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever heard. This is the height of narcissistic/sociopathic behavior. I’m so sorry to this human being.
He made that choice🤷😟
@@VMR8648 He shouldn't have to make a choice tho
Disassociation as a group is a dangerous thing.
There are laws against hazing@
@@ashley00996 what?
The things people will do just to be accepted by their peers. This is tragic.
Yes, those kids were wrong but I mean at what point are people going to hold themselves accountable for their own actions and free will. He didn’t have to do it.
Yes. Not excusing the first but each person has free will. Also was no one concerned enough to suggest stopping? The bystander effect in full force. So tragic in many ways

He’s an adult. People are held responsible for their own decisions. Don’t be such a jackass.

Abolish Fraternities and Sororities. They've been able to get away with this for too long.
Exactly! People have died being forced to participate in their events
I agree 100%
Not to mention fraternities are just rape houses.
They should also abolish alcohol, parties, and college while they’re at it
I agree. They harm and kill a lot of innocent kids with their hazing and serve no useful purpose. College is meant to help educate young people into responsible adults, not destroy their lives.
As someone who went to a party school for college, and mixed in these circles, there is NO point in having frats/sororities. Incidents like these are the norm not the exception (you just never hear about them, because the unlucky individual suffers alcohol poisoning, survives), and a whole host of other unsavory things go down as well due to the “secret wealthy club” atmosphere they foster. And no, no amount of forced philanthropy from them (because let’s face it what 18-22 year old is willingly going to volunteer without some incentive attached), or group camaraderie (which you can find in any organization) will erase that fact
Just lmao if you think the same kind of camaraderie is found on the club frisbee as in a fraternity.
@Outlaw Abortion hard to make a case for the "few" when the entire campuses allow this behavior to go on.
as preventable as this was, this wasn't the first time this has happened, won't be the last sadly.
They definitely are the norm. This sadly happens all the time
@

Banning frats/sororities off campus means absolutely NOTHING if the members who abuse others gets no consequences and can freely still socialize with each other and go back to normal like nothing ever happened while victims like this boy spend the rest of their life suffering physically and mentally.
Good Lord! Every single person who cooperated and then didn’t seek immediate medical attention for him should face criminal and civil charges!
Imagine as a parent spending your time your energy your emotions your plans everything that you give for your children to see them grow up to be adults only to have all of that completely taken away by one single act. The condition of this poor boy breaks my heart and I hope that no one has to go through this yet people continue to make mistakes people continue to ignore logic and ignore their instincts.
@@Pler1978 Why should the parents be held accountable!?
Why are you making it about the parents rather than the boy/victim himself?
Imagine imagining images
@@wholethedogsout880 exactly. This isn’t about the parents, boo hoo. This is about the man and his now new medical condition and everything he did and will have to endure from now on. Crazy.
That's another thing. Alcohol poisoning occurs in stages. The first stage is obvious drunkeness. The second stage is vomiting/diarrhea. The third stage is sweating and loss of consciousness. The 4th stage is seizures. The 5th and final stage is death. And it takes a few hours to die so they had time to recognize that he was in trouble and get him help before it got this bad.
“ fortunately they got his heart restarted “. I’m not sure this is fortunate for anyone as the quality of life for this young man is Neil. It must be torture for the family to see him like this as well. And now they can’t get the fraternity on murder charges.
"And now they can't get the fraternity on murder charges." Oh, Maggie Moran, they can do better. They can go after every single one of those bros (and their parents) in civil proceedings, and have them paying for the rest of their lives to give Danny the standard of living he would have been able to earn for himself, as well as the best medical care money can buy.

@@MrChinesename so God controls Satan and his evil deeds?
Anyone that tells you they joined a frat or sorority for reasons other than partying and being idiots is a liar.
Why is it so “controversial” or “difficult” to hold those accountable for their actions? All adults 21 years or older at that party should be held accountable for all the adolescents they supplied alcohol for.
All adults giving alcohol to kids should be charged with a felony. Alcohol can destroy lives and spark early addictions
But these aren't kids though - the pledges are 18+, so illegally consuming alcohol under age is their decision. They can still be charged since they're under the legal drinking age, but all involved are technically adults.
They probably come from money and are being protected by the school.🤷🏾♂️
Powerful people are alums of the same fraternities
@@brendamoon2660 my thought process exactly!
@@jheanelltabana8713 lol its literally illegal for an adult to buy a minor (under 21) alcohol. If a store or bar is caught selling to minors they get there license suspended and are potentially held accountable for any serious accidents that happen
“…eventually they got his heart started” if i woke up blind and crippled i would be pissed knowing that they revived me tbh

Social acceptance is not worth your life, not to mention your dignity.
Especially social acceptance from frat bros who get worthless degrees and have to spend the rest of their life paying off student loans. The kid had it coming to want to be apart of a group like that and I hope this wakes him up and will allow him to say no next time, however he may do so
@@charon_lix Uhm....that's the whole point. He CAN'T SAY ANYTHING now.

So true and now the kid is pretty much a vegetable … such a waste and for what
To be apart of a dumb fraternity
Social acceptance is the name of your mom's friend who bit an old man on the weener.
If anyone ever tells me i have to do something dangerous to be part of their “group”, then they are not the kind of friends i want to be in a group with. This is a tragic story, but a sensible person would NEVER do this. How sad that a kid has been brought up by his parents without being told that no matter what you do, DO NOT do anything dangerous just to please other people.
Ur correct. This kid is a real non-sens-able.
I 1,000% agree. I can not believe people still fall for this kind of garbage year after year and someone always end up paying the piper. Remember before you do something stupid, ask yourself...will I end up dead or permanently injured for life? If it is a may be. Do Not Do It.

@@matildasfarm9450 people don't know the dangers of alcohol poisoning. They post videos of their friends throwing up and glorify the act of blacking out. Literal overdoses are considered typical party activities, but it's not socially recognized like it is with any other drug.
Every kid already knows this. Kids aren't stupid.
The problem is that kids aren't allowed to drink alcohol. So they lack understanding when they get to college.
By the time they got to university a lot of people I know had already been social drinkers, alcoholics, given up on alcohol, become whiskey snobs and switched to gin.
The interesting thing about this is the people doing the hazing were themselves hazed at one point. Danny's reward if he had completed his task was to haze other people in the future.
Like some one else mentioned, teach you children to say the word 'No'. The word No is very powerful for self-preservation. I hope this young man gets Justice, because no one, deserves this horrible treatment/outcome. He will need lifelong medical services. Hopefully, in the long-run ,he will get compensated for these offenses.
In my opinion there was clearly power dynamics going on here making it difficult to say no and stick to the no. That's the problem with hazing. It's so important to these kids to get into these groups they do things they normally wouldn't do just to appease their leaders and secure their place in the group
Parents do and people say no but bullies don't listen

A lot of these….even the well-known prestigious sororities and fraternities are nothing more than glorified GANGS. I was in tears and horrified by what a now 32 year old woman explained what she with through (beating in basements, no food, sleep deprivation, just to name a few) to pledge into a VERY well-known sorority when she was in college. She also said students were shunned and bullied (by sorority members) if they didn’t pledge, so she almost had no choice. Many years ago, she stop attending their events and more recently, she voluntarily made herself in-active and completely cut them off because she said they wanted her to do what was done to her with new young members and she refused to do that. Parents, stop being too proud of your kids pledging that you are not be mindful of some of the gang mentality (initiations) some of these soros and frats possess. You might save your child’s life.
This is fax , the more I learn about these college groups it reminds me of total gang mentality just for people of wealth .
OMG! They nearly killed that kid! On top of this, instead of calling 911 they were too concerned about themselves getting in trouble! My heart is so broken. They will have to live with this the rest of their lives!
Maybe...or maybe they are just arraogant sociopathic creeps who will go into politics.
It's terribly sad but he chose to drink it-he was an adult and made the decision to follow through with something that is commonly known to be dangerous. Don't give stupid people power over your life...Doing anything to please and join a college gang of alcoholics isn't something wise to strive towards.
Well, they kinda did kill him. He has no life really anymore!

I don't understand why hazing of any kind is still allowed. There should be zero tolerance, especially for practices that bring harm to self or others. Hazing allegations have gone on for so long you would think this type of situation would be taken care of right away.
Many (if not all) universities ban it, but you can't stop stupid people from doing stupid stuff.
It isn't allowed, but the kids do it anyways.
It's bullying. All to be accepted by a bunch of jerks who don't care about you.
Whoever was involved in a hazing of this magnitude needs to be serving long, hard prison time. They literally rendered a student a vegetable.
Why aren't these things outlawed. Why want to belong so badly you'd go through this abuse. I'll never understand.
That’s what I was thinking.
Human nature. Most people want to fit somewhere. This guy just happened to want to fit with the frats.
@@luthorlex8047 That’s unfortunate
Because frats are GANGS!
Hazing is illegal, just like drinking underage. Laws are still broken.
The problem isn't the acts being outlawed; it's the laws not being enforced.

Exactly. They're probably upper middle class white kids so OF COURSE there's no repercussions. They should CHARGE the entire frat and ESPECIALLY the one who handed him the bottle.

For the kids sake you probably want to pull the plug, but that's your baby, your grown child. I imagine it's life-haultingly difficult to say goodbye. So heartbreaking
Greatly said, felt your pain of feeling their pain.
Every parent should have their child(ren) view news clips like this and car accidents caused by DUIs. Empowering your young adult to be able to say 'no' to the group us invaluable. Also, talk to them about the fraternity/sorority they plan on joining, etc. Is important
Absolutely! It should especially be required for Greek life members to watch these too, especially fraternity members.
You've offered up what I believe to be the best advice in this thread. Know when to "Just Say No" and walking away! If this were my son that is what I would have expected of him.
I will, and already have done so. It’s educational and serves as a rule for them to live by.
My cousin was going through hazing, he jumped off a roof into the pool. He is now in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Hazing should be illegal
Really wow
but you see that all the time on youtube!!!!
The only way to abolish hazing is for the pledges to refuse to be hazed. I believe in reasonable hazing - paddling, for example. Drinking, but not a whole liter of vodka, sure.
Wow smh
If he survived, would he have done this to other pledges? This is how this stupid stuff continues.
My junior year of college (2019), one of my colleagues went through a hazing process and him and a few other colleges were in a terrible car crash late at night. The driver died, passenger lost a leg, two in the back seat had minor physical injuries. To this day, I'm shook up about it! Seeing someone young, with a future around campus, to being brain dead and his mother pulling the cord. Don't die to be apart. God already welcomed you!

@@MIMIX015 I'm terrified of those types of drugs, I've tried some hard stuff but those days are long behind me. If I ever do anything again it will be the green
I recently attended the funeral of a friend who had a schizophrenic break a couple years back. He first started noticing his symptoms not long after we were eating LSD together in college. About a year ago he took his own life believing the CIA was spying on him and that his family was in on it, rather than go back to the psych hospital he ended it.
I still take LSD on a regular basis, small doses on a literally week to week. It's done wonders for my depression among other things, it helped me conquer my alcoholism and cocaine addictions. It's an amazing drug that, due to it's classification as a schedule 1, has been criminally understudied. That said, among the community of regular LSD users that frequent online forums it has been rather consistently observed that psychedelics can exacerbate schizophrenic tendencies in those who are genetically predisposed - that is to say, your friend was most likely in the process of developing schizophrenia already and the drugs took what time he had left early. Statistically speaking he would more or less be the same by the age of 25 without the drug induced break.
In 30-50 years psychedelics like Ketamine and LSD will be at the forefront of mental health treatment and probably used for a few other things that us less sciency types don't have the capacity to imagine, the company MindMedicine has been studying and developing ketamine based treatments for depression for the better part of a decade now. When the time comes that people can use these drugs in a clinical setting with a professional dosing, administering and guiding the experience they will be an absolute revelation. It's very saddening to hear that they were used to such effect in regards to your friend, drugs should never be a coerced experience.
If you have to do something that’s gonna physically harm you or someone else in any way, you don’t need to join the fraternity/sorority there’s no way I’m risking my life or letting myself be dehumanized by strangers when that whole process is unnecessary and just for their own entertainment
That’s exactly why I never joined a sorority. My roommate was in one, and it was insane how much backstabbing and dehumanizing acts that occurred, but the worst was they acted like it was normal.
Facts.
Based
im not even sure why this isn't illegal?
Like pass a law (in all states) stating any harmful acts (very specified) are Not allowed in ANY case in any & all fraternity, sorority, college campus etc etc (and YES even off campus. student? Thats illegal. so not only will they be kicked out, they'll be charged.)
I mean you can lose your job if u participate in things like this, it needs to be the same for the students.

I spent almost a decade of my life involved with a competetive speech team. Underfunded and understaffed, we still have maintained our ranking in the top ten in the nation for about a third of a century. The competition, the road trips, the close quarters, the big dreams for after college that would come from all this created a bond, a closeness, like nothing I have ever known. (Oh, and yes, we snuck the occasional drink or doobie. Great parties.) For a long time, our campus, George Mason University, didn't even have fraternities and sororities; we never missed them. Teams like ours create real bonds; so often these fraternities and soroities just seem like elitist yet animalistic wastes of time. Thank God I missed all this. Kids, you just don't need to go down that road.
what is competitive speech? Never heard of it
I don't care, I'm not giving you any money. Go speech over there. 👉
"elitist yet animalistic wastes of time" 💯 You said it best!
I never understood the concept of frats and hazing... I'd never let anyone force me nor have that type of influence on me.... prayers to this young man
This should’ve never happened in the first place and those kids that were responsible for making him do that or not necessarily making him do that because he did have a choice to not do it but egging him on to do it should definitely be held responsible in someway for sure this kid’s life is changed forever and so are his parents and family. There should be no hazing allowed. Whatsoever
You made a key statement, by saying "he did have a choice". While these kids are most definitely responsible for not getting him the help he needed, because of the choice he himself made, bottom line is that it never would have happened had he himself not made that choice. I do not agree with sororities and fraternities in anyway, especially the hazing part of it. But EVERY one has a CHOICE...
I'd say the punishment is either Life in Prison, or be forced to enlist in the U.S.Marine's then see how they stand up to the drill instructors. If they are washed out they go directly back to prison!!!
I was a scholarship athlete in college. I never understood the fraternity lifestyle. I hung out with teammates, other athletes, and students that weren't in fraternities.
The desire to be included as a member of a group is important to many, but dangerous hazing should not be required to be in any group.
Hazing should never be a thing period!!
The hazing was not limited to fraternities where i went to college. Sports teams (especially wrestling) had some intense hazing traditions as well.
Those of you who are blaming the victim need to familiarize yourselves with the sick, machismo culture that enables and even promotes this type of behavior in men. The forceful violence these studemts exerted on this young man was exacerbated by the group mentality. I doubt that most of them would have acted this way as individuals. For those who would, date rape is probably part of their life style, too.. Their parents should be ashamed that they raised sons who have now taken their school yard bully behavior to college. Hopefully, some sane alumni or professors will take this on + get an enforceable ban in place or dissolve the frat system entirely even if a few decent young men will be deprived of that "opportunity". Violence by men .....never ends does it?

Yeah I imagine it's hard to regulate it; perhaps if they considered fraternities gangs that exhibited gang violence and banned them instead.
Kids this is why you should learn to say "no", you really could end up a vegetable trying to please somebody else, this is a very sad story
It's sad he made a decision that affected his entire life. This type of behavior is unacceptable and anyone who witnesses need to speak up.
Thank you for having the wider perspective. He put himself in danger in order to belong to a club. He did make a choice, a foolish choice.
However, once he was intoxicated, the rest of them are at fault for continuing it when his ability to say stop was impaired.
It’s a shame all around. All this just to belong to some asinine boys club. 😐
Right not enough people are putting the blame on him. He made those choices.
Someone his age probably has no idea what could happen from drinking that much alcohol, I almost died when I drank too much Tequila at 17, not knowing how much stronger it was than beer.

This is why I think teens should not only be allowed, but encouraged to tiptoe their way into alcohol with family and friends, so that by the time they go off to college, they know what their limits are.

Wish they wouldn’t let kids without fully formed brains supervise younger kids. Anyways wishing for his recovery ❤️🩹
You don't get it. There won't be any recovery. Generalized massive brain damage resulting in blindness and loss of speech is indicative of near-total cerebral death, as well as severe cerebellum damage. The only part of his brain still functioning is his brain stem keeping him breathing and his heart beating. Every single part of him that existed as a person is gone; he's a vegetable. Believe me, I know; I saw this firsthand when my wife had a massive stroke. She was gone, just a shell was left behind. The only mercy was that her suffering didn't last long. This poor kid is going to be in agony the rest of his life.

And at the same time, we ignore our family's advice, ppl who love us the most and would suffer the most if something tragic happens to us. The fact that we think this way is where the tragedy begins to take root.
Something like this recently happened in Belgium. The hazing took place over 3 days. The boys were not only forced to drink unimaginable amounts of alcohol over these days (like downing an entire bottle of gin, drinking more than 50 pints of beer etc), but at night, they shut off the water supply to their dorm rooms, turned up the heath and locked the door. The day after the same hazing rituals would continue. Cups of urine were thrown at them, they had to pee on each other, they were forced to dig a hole and sit in there naked in the middle of a forest, buckets of cold water were thrown on them, they had to bite off the head of a living mouse. Those are just a few examples of what happened. Sanda Dia, one of the boys who was going through the hazing ritual, had to drink a whole bottle of fish oil on top of that. He was severely dehydrated and went into a coma. The other boys in the fraternity waited hours before taking him to the hospital because they didn't want to get in trouble. When they finally took him there, the doctors said that there was not a lot of hope that he would wake up. The first thing the boys did was delete all their messages, photo's, group chats, they went to his dorm room to clean up so no one would see what they did. Sanda Dia died the next day. The boys are currently on trial for this.
This is terrible
That is so sad. I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers go out to the victims families 🙏🏾.
Damn the dude wasn't frat material. Next man up
@@kilimanjaro5537 prayers REJECTED!
I'm glad alcohol is so embraced and accepted in our society /endsarcasm
If he was black...
🤣🤣🤣 he wouldn't be in college
I live behind a frat house and some of the thingsxI heard in the middle of the night..it's barbaric... How can you allow and respect someone else do that to you? And, how can you turn around and do the same thing to someone else next year. It definitely explains the foundation of our country where there are no qualms about causing harm to others without remorse.....with pleasure, more like it.
They re not allowed in Christian colleges/ Universities in matter of fact Grove City College Geneva College Eastern University Messiah College/University Cederville no they don’t allow frat houses that’s one reason I said no my mom was like no. Not safe for me. I d’ get oblivious not realizing what’s going on.
So sad when someone allows themselves to be pressured into something like this. I hope someone reads this who needs to hear it. Please don’t ever let anyone talk you into something you are not comfortable with. Ever. Chances are you are smarter than them and know more of what’s best for yourself then them. I don’t care how much they make fun of you or lay on all the persuasion tactics. Stay strong and rest in the knowledge that you are being wise. And that you won’t regret anything. Be safe out there guys.
Why was he being pressured to do all that drinking? Is this what college is all about? Hazing needs to be banned. And anyone caught drunk and doing illegal drugs should be expelled from college.
Exactly unfortunately that's what it breaks down to our own choices and wanting to be accepted and knowing maybe what's right from wrong maybe he didn't know that the wrong decision maybe he did and still went with it but either way our own accountability for choices we made can lead us in some terrible directions
@@zhmw Know what else is banned? Serving alcohol to underage persons... Didn't really help much here did it? My alma mater has a dry part of campus since it's where the freshmen live. Did that accomplish anything? Not really.
We have an accountability crisis. We have multiple generations of young people that don't understand that ultimately they're the only ones responsible for their actions and the only ones that stand to suffer over poor decisions.
It’s worse pressuring someone into something like this because you don’t have sense or compassion enough to respect other peoples lives
Or don't be the type of jerk who tries to get people to do dangerous things 🤦♀️ way to victim blame.
This is heart breaking and sickening. All need to be held accountable. His family will have to carry this man the rest of his life. And they should be compensated for it. Period.
Says Sarah garner the girl who stole Becky's headphones in gym.
That's like me drunk driving and telling the police it wasn't my fault, I was pure pressured... But safe to say he learned his lesson and should be made as an example to other young kids like why you should just say no thanks
This is horrible, this is not living. This is just being alive , poor kid.
This is absolutely disgusting 😞 I feel so sorry for him… his life hadn’t even start & it’s gone already… how are these boys not being held accountable ?
maybe because he chose to drink it?
@@major_misato have you ever heard of manipulation and peer pressure.
@@major_misato go look up the definition of hazed, then come back and talk to me.
@@Autheil Yeah i'm sure he had no way to speak for himself and say no and they actually forced it down his throat. Peer pressure is a myth to justify bad decisions made by weak minded people, i bet you probably think addiction is a disease and not a choice too.
His own fault
I personally don’t know why any person would want to subject themselves to this, in exchange to be part of a club (fraternity). When I grew up, we learned “just say no”. So sadly I think at least some responsibility lies within himself for going along with it (and I say that with a sad heavy heart and with NO disrespect at all). And of course the responsibility each and every person who devised and carried forward this sick, twisted initiation. Prayers to him, and his family. I hope somehow the damage can be reversed. I don’t want to believe that all of this damage is permanent. 🙏🏼♥️
Amen God is a miraculous healer
Positive Vibes with Crystal ✨not in this instance.
God is useless.
That’s just ridiculous. They should’ve had charges brought against them. I wanted to be a lawyer so I studied dui’s a lot, the most I’ve seen someone with is a .184 and even they could barely talk and was stumbling. I can’t even imagine being that high up there at a .4 something, crazy... that’s practically murder
Become a lawyer! There’s always room for more.
I was a .42 when I checked into rehab. I'm glad nothing happened to me...
This is so tragic, so sad. I feel for this young man and his family.
