Hawaii-Honolulu.-A child jumped into Alakamui yesterday, Killing himself. Richard Dinks was 13 years old. Alakamui is a volcano off the coast of Hawaii. A witness saw the boy jump and tried to stop him by standing on higher ground, but the boy seemed very angry and confused. nothing could be done. The boy was dressed with a black robe and jumped screaming the words "I am Sith". The mother of the boy said to police that Dinks was a Star Wars fan and he loved the popular George Lucas film, "Revenge of the Sith". But no one saw this coming, Richard was having trouble in school and had a troubled relationship with an older friend. They were always fighting. Family and friends at school are holding a memorial today for the boy. Police are asking for more information and are looking for leads. It was known that Dinks had mental problems and acted strange in the classroom. At one time swinging a toy at the teacher and making hand gestures.

Police are asking for more information and looking for leads.

 

I am absolutely fooled by this news article!

 

I will pray for him.

 

Dinks

*giggle*

 

Never heard of it everton..but yeah, this article makes me very sad.

 

I love this thread.

 

A story similar to this one happened last year around this time. It's horrible that history is repeating itself. This is why the media shouldn't report on tragedies like this, they'll just encourage copycats.

 

I believe he killed himself because of his name. I mean really, Richard Dinks? Dick Dinks! *Immature giggles ensue*
That kid is hardcore though, that's what happens when your iPod is full of Marilyn Manson and John Williams.

 

THE GEEK GODS HAVE BEEN APEEEEAAAASSSSED! WE ARE SAFE, COMRADES, FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS!

 

Pfft?, Jessie's gone insane ... once again .

 

Jessie was SANE once?

HORRORS!

 

WAR! on you Kla.

 

You know that song Frontier Psychiatrist? It's about Jesse.

 

I hope they have no Volcanoes in Australia.

 

I AM NOT CRAZY IN THE COCONUT.


All of our volcanoes are old, swa. Too old for me. That'd be like robbing the grave, man.

 

It was all Mixo's fault, and PoTTZORZ!

 

I just wish we had a pic of the kid jumping in.

 

lol virgin sacrifice lol

 

I wonder if the kid actually looked like Anakin

 

That is, by far, the most poorly written article I have ever read... and I've read elementary school newspapers.

 

that damn polankski.

 

Thank the maker the gods only take the young virgins.

If the didn't I would be a bit worried.
