"A Montana man who was apparently trying to trigger a Bigfoot sighting by dressing up in a costume and darting out onto a dark stretch of highway was struck and killed by two passing cars, officials said.
Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell, Mont., was apparently wearing a Ghillie suit at the time. That's a camouflage outfit -- sometimes used by military snipers or hunters -- designed to resemble dense, thick foliage."

Come on guys. A man did something dumb after a few drinks and is dead. A loty of us will admit to doing something simialr but fortunately surviving. Rather than mock him we should bless him. He may have a family that is suffering.

I can honestly say I have never done something like that but I do feel very sorry for him and his family, but it was a very dumb mistake.I also feel sorry for those very young girls who have to live with the fact that they killed someone.

Mitch, what do you mean by saying "The guy...not so much!!"

 

[Mitch]

It means what it says I don't have much sympathy for the guy who dressed up and does something so stupid. Its like those who play chicken with speeding cars or trains if they get hit my sympathies are with those who hit them not with those hit.

If your going to try and start a bigfoot scare at least do it during the day or, from a distance not in camo in dark near a motorway!!! That for me, regardless of what other people think, does not garner much sympathy
