The news of a fatal Staten Island car crash Sunday night seemed terrible but similar to the many stupid car races that teenagers get into when they're young and foolish. As it turns out, the car of five teenaged boys was being chased because the teenagers inside it had insulted some girls, throwing dog biscuits at them. One of the girls called a brother or boyfriend, who then came with another guy, both wielding baseball bats. The teenagers sped off and after being chased, crashed into another car, flipped over, and one boy was "ejected onto the pavement" and killed. Of course, one teenager denies that they had thrown dog biscuits though admitted he wasn't paying attention. Another theory is that the fight was prompted by a football rivalry between schools, but since the attackers/defenders are reported to be in their 20s, coaches at the teenagers' high school are skeptical. Police are looking for the attackers and the girls.
Gothamist recalls high school days when kids would go the football games to make fun of the team and throw dog biscuits at the cheerleaders, then face them (both cheerleaders and football players) in homeroom back on Monday. While they are an efficient and exponentially cruel way to insult someone, dog biscuits are just not a good idea.

jesus christ- that's a really ridiculous thing to lose a life over. i mean, throwing dog biscuits at ugly girls is pretty immature, but so is chasing a bunch of teenagers to their deaths.
and back in the day: at our high school people were too busy plotting ways to kill themselves to throw dog biscuits at anyone else.
Darwin award candidates?
Simon, check out the post above.
This is one i've never heard of - throwing dog biscuits at girls? And who drives around with dog biscuits?
Yes, what about it? Am I being accused of insensitivity (again) ? I think these people are so dumb they deserve their fates. It's really sad that people are so stupid and violent.
i think she was referring to the post about jamie oliver setting his dick on fire.
and evolution continues on.
LOL, where is that?
the post above/after "dog biscuits of death"..."chefs special."
and while it may come off a bit as insensitive, i whole-heartedly agree with dumb things happening to dumb people. keeps bad genes out of the gene pool.
I was scanning the headline "Dog Biscuits of Death" and let out a sort of explosive high pitched laugh. My coworkers looked at me like I was really strange, to which I responded, inarticulately, "Dog Biscuits of Death."
They didn't get it.
So, now I'm the wierd one in the office.
Thanks Gothamist.
