Yes it was his boat. And he knew it going in.
“Modern America” is voyeuristic, lives vicariously and loves its heroes. That stuff sells, especially the sensational. That’s how the Discovery Channel sells advertising and DVDs. Not to be callous, boys. I believe he traded his responsibility to his family for his next segment of notoriety and another payday. This time it bit him. It wasn’t me that left his family without a husband and a father. As I’m not a consumer of such programming, it wasn’t me that caused the attempted production of the video.
That isn’t “bashing”. It’s the view of one individual. I regret if anyone took my comments any other way.
