And not being able to communicate. Maybe they leave a radio with music on next to the guy, but he hates that channel. He would rather listen to Big Bang Theory episodes or Science lectures, but how does he let them know?

@E M yeah. I bet that’s absolutely humiliating for him. And having to live through that pain and humiliation for the rest of his life all because he just wanted to belong to a group that was supposed to have his back. To take care of him, and to look out for him. That’s what brothers are supposed to do. This whole thing makes me emotional because it’s so tragic.

@@ChileNM758 I literally was saying the same thing, I agree. People should also start thinking for themselves. Poor kid was so young though he probably just wanted to fit in or be "cool" like kids that age do.

Agree. I dont know why they decided to bring him back to life. They knew he would have brain injury

@ItsA CruelWorld NotSafe forKids. HavingKidsIsWrong without knowing the specifics of his condition at this moment and the prognosis on his outlook for life, and strictly going off what has been reported, I would have to agree with you. As much as the family is willing to care for him and want him alive, it sounds like they should probably let Danny fly free on up to heaven. Give him a shot of adrenaline like in the movie Million Dollar Baby and let him rest.

If this happens to my kid I want those kids life in return no amount of jail time will do it for me I want those kids parents to feel what’s it’s like to lose a child .

People will always be idiots.

Well if they didn't force him to drink and if they didn't have any ill intent . And the individuals who are above age 21 have already been charged with given him alcohol so how is that not justice.

Hazing is not legal in most states. And even if it were, frats can get in major trouble if they’re found participating in such acts.

It is not legal. The issue is lack of law enforcement.

I cannot agree with the jailed for life part. Danny was a willing participant and was the person most responsible for his own injuries. At multiple times, Danny could have said no. It is not like the frat guys took Danny by force and forced him to participate.

@@jakemccoy I totally agree

FACTS!!

This is the American college culture, even if you take away the frats, the parties and drinking till you blackout will continue to happen. I’m not saying you’re wrong/right, but banning a frat doesn’t mean these death/injured by alcohol is going to stop.

@@ceejezzyes06 bro you misses the entire point then. The problem isn’t with drinking. The problem is these little boys being forced by other little boys to drink hard liquor bottles fast and face consequences if they don’t. The problem is frats hazing; not the alcohol they’re using to haze

Who's responsible for this? No one held a gun to Danny's head and forced him to go there. No one forced him to drink. He was never threatened. Danny had every chance to walk away. This was ultimately Danny's choice to be there and go through with this. He could have left at any point. He never tried to leave or even say no. It's such a sad situation but it was Danny's choice. There has to be some personal responsibility. I hope he recovers soon 🙏

​@@JB23669he's not going to ever recover! And when you were that drunk and people are egging you on, you are not completely in control of yourself. He was very vulnerable to the peer pressure. I get the feeling that you are one of the guys who made him drink. Furthermore other people were around and could have advised that that is dangerous and could make you die.

He probably wants to die, but he cannot tell them that because he has no way of communicating. I know I would. He's literally going to be trapped in a lifeless body for the next 60+ years in complete darkness, unable to do anything that brings him joy, just waiting for death. It's a fate worse than death, worse than life in prison. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, and keeping him alive through it all is just incredibly cruel. He needs to be laid to rest and be at peace.

Very well said. Sorry but this was Danny’s choice to put himself in the situation and to drink this much. I know it’s insensitive perhaps but it’s true.

@Bella D Couldn't agree more.

Yeah because we're so much worse than y'all right is that why we lead the world and you people buy our Teslas

I feel so sorry for what's happened to this boy's and to his family, life can be very unpredictable. As an international student myself these fraternities and sororities are probably the stupidest things I've witnessed during my college life in the US, no mean to offend at all. I had a couple of roommates tell me they had to buy fraternity membership for at least $700 while one of them came from a low income household and would sometimes struggle to buy his own groceries. Last time I checked fraternities and sororities were suspended at my university due to a 21-year passing for the same exact reason as this kid.

@Mushroom Cat You're right to an extent but he was an adult. I didn't have many friends going to school and yeah we all want to feel like we belong but why do something stupid and dangerous just to belong? He was underage and he knew he was underage. These aren't 10 year olds they are adults. They go off to college on their own because they are adults so you need to have some responsibility and accountability. I feel bad for him and his family though.

^^^This

Exactly

Well said and very true

Parents would be wise to teach their kids to always be alert, because the "friends" they make in college, especially frat "brothers" or soro "sisters", are likely to abandon them and do nothing to protect them from serious injury or death. Parents would also do well to teach their kids to be on the lookout for someone who is impaired to help them immediately, perhaps save their life. Peers should not be setting the standard for how an individual acts. The kids that have that maturity probably just stay away from the greek b.s. in the first place.

Some of them will simply drop out of college and go do other stuffs. Not all of them will graduate anyways!

But really, the potential pledgee needs to be aware of what can happen, and just say NO. No amount of accountability and punishment of the frat leaders can do anything to help Danny now.

Frats and hazing seem to be such an American thing. Frats are here too but no "Animal House" thing as far as I know. I never wanted to be a frat bro anyway. Didn't like the attitude of them.

Yup Get rid of em

The first campus party I went to some guy tried to get me to take drugs and when I asked why, he said, because it's college. It was always so stupid to me but when you're in that environment it's normalized and even a status symbol if you can party harder than anyone else. The thing that needs to change is the mentality of these young people. It's not cool, it's not fun, it's destructive and cruel to be put in that situation for acceptance.

Every university knows this goes on. It's sickening how it's always ignored.

They are definitely aware but are saving face by denying awareness .All universities are aware of fraternity misdeeds.

I think they're dumb, but not that dumb. It's them being reckless and not caring about his well-being, a lot of those monsters need to go to prison and be expelled.

I know

Tell your kid to dropout of his fraternity and focus on school instead. If possible, tell him to double major in accounting and business analytics with a minor in political science or a foreign language. This will leave him very busy with less time to even sleep not even talking about partying. 4 years from now he'll graduate safe with a well paying consulting job offer and make you proud. Most of these frat kids don't even go to class thus know nothing even after graduating college!

This happened a few years back at Florida State University…so sad. Universities and the fraternities need to be accountable. It’s a shame that hazing it’s still happening and ruining the lives of many students and their families. At the very least the Universities should required a course about hazing prior or after orientation. The University of Central Florida requires to take an online video about “hazing” just right after orientation. Of course, there is also much to do in the communication between parents and their kids who are going to the University, situations like this need to be talked about. My prayers to Dany and his family. May the legal system hold accountable to all those involved in such cruel experience that ruined Dany’s future.

Mizzou does have an online AlcoholEdu program that incoming students have to take and pass the test at the end of it with a certain percentage (I think it was 75 or 80). They have to take it before they can register for Spring semester courses. I remember taking it my freshmen year and learning some valuable information from it.

@@angelicavigil2254 I’m certain that despite being in college you’ll still probably struggle to read this. It’s fine. *Projection refers to unconsciously taking unwanted emotions or traits you don't like about yourself and attributing them to someone else. A common example is a cheating spouse who suspects their partner is being unfaithful.* So, in this case that would mean that I don’t want to admit to myself that, in an identical scenario, or in other comment sections, I’m the one praying for potential “reepists” that ended up brain dead. Which, by simply reading my comments, we can infer clearly isn’t true. Because I’m celebrating his incapacitation and lifelong inability to go out and harm anyone else. As fraternity members are known to do, just as they did to him. I’m not praying for him, or anyone like him, which is pretty in line with me and my overall views and behavior. I never would. You are. Saying that I’m projecting, likely because it’s a popular buzzword you’ve heard thrown around before, literally makes zero sense. *“You don’t know what has or hasn’t happened to me”.* Well, I’d say it’s a fairly safe assumption that you’ve never been r worded by a fraternity member, as my comment implied you hadn’t. And if you have, out of the two of us, you’re definitely a lot more twisted than I am-praying for someone that, statistically, had a very high likelihood of doing to others what was once done to you. If they do this to each other what do you think they do to the 18 year old girls fresh out of high school? How do you not register the extreme probability that if it hadn’t happened to him he would’ve done it to someone else in the fraternity? That’s what he was there for, that’s the point of these little groups. He didn’t end up in this state by volunteering to feed the kittens at the local animal shelter on the weekends. He ended up in this state because he couldn’t keep up with the predator lifestyle and got got. It’s wild that “higher” education is wasted on people like you when there are billions of people all over the planet that could do so much more with it. Absolutely wild.

Most are 18 by the time they enter higher learning. Before they hit that age, parents should read with them accounts of at least 50 hazing incidents that have ended tragically and have frank discussions about frats.

Unfortunately this was even happening 40 years ago when I was a Mizzou freshman. I saw it and it's a shame nothing has changed 😕 😔

Yeah he made a choice to go and fit in. I wonder why he was the only one drunk. It seem everyone else was fine

It’s so unfortunate. It’s so important for parents to instill self-esteem in their kids. If you don’t, you get situations like this. I know it’s hard to teach in this society, but you have to try. Not all of us are strong enough to fight peer pressure without any teachings.

He wanted to be part of the group, there is a lot of pressure. And he did try to give back the wodka bottle about 4 times but they did not take it.

Those are kind thoughts. I wonder if Danny was the only pledge to suffer to this extent. Did others down an entire bottle of vodka and beer? Seems like his frat dads should be charged with 2nd degree attempted murder, not a misdemeanor. Danny's family could do a lot to publicize Danny's plight so that this will never happen to another student. But there have been over 50 such hazing incidents since 2000, so I wouldn't be surprised if there will be another Danny soon. In my opinion he has suffered a fate worse than death. I wonder if he is aware of what has happened to him.

In general, you're right that weed is less dangerous than booze. Except today's weed, (unless you get regulated stuff or grow your own), could very well be laced with crazy amount of fentanyl or other dangerous crap . But, yes, GOOD weed indeed a better and safer choice than "good" booze.

@@zyrosqrd2552 weed smokers don't use fentanyl, and if someone laces it without telling is criminal too.

@@ScarCaskt if you buy it on the street or smoke with your dopey college friends who got it from wherever TF they got it, you don't know what you're smoking. Thats my point. People who sell it illegally are not necessarily going to be concerned if it is illegally laced with opioids, other hallucinogens, or anything (and if it passed thru several hands to sell, the person you got it from doesnt know either). Back in the day, you could buy weed in any park in NewYork without worrying about it being tainted. Nobody smokes fentanyl on purpose.

I was in a sorority too and we took hazing much more seriously…if I’d been hazed there’s no way I would have continued. It’s not worth it. I can’t believe this is still happening, I hope Danny and his family get the justice they deserve. To anyone who is thinking about joining a frat/sorority in college, if you ever feel like you are being hazed or pressured into doing something you don’t want to do: LEAVE. It’s not worth your time, and those aren’t your friends - you will find other friends in college and you will find a different organization to be apart of.

Better yet, the drinker himself should know better before attempting such a dangerous activity. No amount of accountability of others will help Danny now. This should be a warning to all upcoming college students.
