Helmet-Wearing Anti-Helmet-Law Activist Dies in Motorcycle Crash Following Rally

I was all set to write a bunch of nonsense regarding the following:

SR.com: Motocyclist dies in crash following anti-helmet-law rally: A motorcycle rider returning from a rally by a group opposing the state’s mandatory helmet law died after crashing into a pickup truck on U.S. Highway 97 outside this lower Yakima Valley town.
Alcohol was suspected in the death of Jason Irvine, 27, of Yakima, who was wearing a helmet while returning from an annual rally at the Toppenish fairgrounds by American Bikers Aimed Toward Education, or ABATE, Washington State Patrol Lt. James W. Keightley said.

But I really only have two things to say.

1. The rider was wearing a helmet.
2. No helmet can protect you sufficiently if you insist on drinking before you hop on your bike.
3. I lied. There is a third thing. Blessings and prayers to the rider's family and the families and friends of anyone involved in this.

And blessings to you. Listening to “Gone” by Pearl Jam from the album Pearl Jam on
