2-5 year old boy dies after falling from upper deck suites after the Laker game

R.I.P. fellow basketball fan

 

There's a section called D&D. You seem tailor made for it.

 

There needs to be no jokes or comments made in reference to the Lakers, Staple Center or Kobe. I don't care if this happened to the Lakers, the Celtics, the Jazz, etc., respect should be given to a little boy who tragically lost his life.

May peace be with you and your love for basketball continue to flourish, little boy.

 

Social Darwinism

 

Random luxury suite pic. If its the same similar area, glass does look kinda low

I've only been in the upper deck nosebleed seats, not the luxury area. I've never really liked the feel of the Staples Center up there. Seems too steep, forward leaning and claustrophobic at the top. Maybe its cuz they have the lights off all dim.

 

Seriously??

 

no doubt, sad story.

 

Right, because toddlers never do dumb stuff.

 

I think he was referring to the parents.

 

man this is really sad, where were his parents..?

 

Does anyone know what ethnicity the boy was?

 

Boy's name was Lucas Tang. Korean, maybe? At least partially.

 

You guys are quick to blame the parent without even knowing the full extent of the story. You can't watch your kid 24/7, accidents do happen, the kid could have done anything in the few seconds when the parent(s) were looking away.

 

You are testing my faith buddy... That is absurd...

 

You're absolutely right. You can't watch your kid 24/7. So perhaps you should focus on that brief stretch of the day when he's standing near an unprotected 50 foot drop.
