Haha. This was my post. Thank you to whoever resurrected this thread. (And thanks to Jesus of course for making tonight possible)

Leave it to DCUM to harp on Wallenda's faith.

Hit "mute" if it bothers you. You people are the worst.

This isn't anything new. There have always been dare-devils and record breaking attempts that risk one's life. Magicians, swimmers, etc.

I don't know if he's heroic or noble, but I'd say admirable in his dedication. It's not something you or I would try, but it's his trade and craft, and runs deep in his family history. Surely any of us can sympathize with owning up to our family namesakes and traditions - even if fairly odd at times.

Thank you, you get it. It's circus tradition.

It's heartwarming seeing a young family member make good on the old man's stunt. Like when Robby Knievel made the jump over the fountains at Caesar's that had nearly killed Evel.

Maybe one day a young Kennedy will make the jump at Chappaquiddick.

Frankly he makes me sort of angry. Here's a guy in good health with a family and kids. He purposefully risks his life by doing crazy sh*t for really, no reason at all. If I were terminally ill or facing death, people like him would infuriate me.

You must have missed the info that it's a FAMILY thing. It goes back to the 1700s in his history and his whole family is also either currently involved or is training.

This is a terribly mean-spirited thread.
