Risking peoples lives just because you have a Rep to hold up is stupid.. Are these traits of a good person?

Yes, I am, in the sense that if you die from it it's considered a dick move to say "you brought it on yourself" and both are self destructive behaviors.
I did not say his alleged DUI was a good thing or that it was OK because he was a celebrity. Nor did I back up Billy Lane, or Kurt Busch, or DMX, and so forth about theirs. In Ryan's case a DUI has not even been proven yet, just strongly implied.
I am also not saying he got what he deserved, and that nobody should be sad about his passing. The guy shoved Matchbox cars up his ass for money, so a certain degree of recklessness is expected from him. I did not have any personal dealings Ryan however I know plenty of people who did, and the consensus was that he was a pretty decent guy. I hope the people that looked up to him can learn from his mistakes and avoid a similar fate.
