Re: Paul Walker has died.

I saw a British documentary and I think there was one "outsider" that had joined into the cult, the rest were blood relatives or had married in.

Hey, Paul Walker was the man, though. He was banging his GF when she was still 16 and he was 33. That's how you do it, son!

And if there is no grass on the field, turn over and play in the mud.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

I only saw the photo of what's supposed to be his face (I didn't go looking for it; it was shared on another site) and if the impact wound is any indication, he definitely wouldn't have been conscious when the fire started. So that's a small comfort.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

Saw an ad on tv for F&F 6 on DVD/Blu. They said a portion of the proceeds of each disc sold would be given to his Reach Out Worldwide charity.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

I've (unfortunately) seen two different supposed pictures of his body. One was a charred mess from head to toe. The other showed a significant vertical laceration down his face with an obliterated nose, but no soot or charring. Which one is legit? I'm assuming the former.

Yes, it is indeed the former.

I've also seen the vertical laceration picture, not sure the origins of that particular one.

I've only seen the one where they both look like strawberry preserves. There's the charred rubble and a cop standing over the wreckage.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

I used to view images on 'grish' years ago when trying to accomplish 'that look' when doing SPX make-up
I would have reservations now though and really could not bring myself to viewing his pictures because I knew of him in the sense I watched him on TV.
I do not however think it is 'disgusting' to look at such images for purpose but to those who get off on it and think it's funny to post around the net for giggles and attention ... that's fucked up.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

I watched that Daniel Pearl beheading vid a decade ago out of curiosity and that still hasn't left my mind. I've had no desire to seek out morbid stuff after that.

I can imagine how the Walker pic looks, no need to actually see it.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

That pic of Walker supposedly having a deep wound on his face is fake:

Re: Paul Walker has died.

That's messed up that people do want to look at the remains like that. Why would they want to remember that? It just doesn't seem right. A friend of mine died of cancer a few months ago and after all the chemo and what not I couldn't bring myself to look at her after she passed. I would rather remember how she looked like before the cancer. What these people are posting is sick. I've seen my share of dead bodies because I used to work in a hospital and I never, ever got used to it.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

I don't know if this was posted already. Cool story, though.



Paul Walker and his charity flew under radar to clear debris in Tuscaloosa after 2011 tornadoes

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The city of Tuscaloosa doesn't have a record of Paul Walker or the charity he founded ever coming to the aid of the victims of the twisters that tore through the city on April 27, 2011.

Countless people were quick to send money, food, clothes and more into Tuscaloosa in the spring of 2011 after the EF4 tornado killed more than 50 people and left total devastation in its wake. Thousands dropped what they were doing and came from all over the country to work with chainsaws and shovels and truck beds to help total strangers in their time of need.

Some of those offering help got a lot of attention for being there. President Barack Obama flew into the city, and cameras followed actor Charlie Sheen around the city when he dropped in to survey the destruction and swore to do what he could to help.

The city has no record of Paul Walker's presence here, though, and a friend said Monday that's just the way that the 40-year-old movie star who was killed in a car accident Saturday would have wanted it.

JD Dorfman told the Burbank Leader that when Walker was on the scene in Tuscaloosa and in other cities affected by natural disasters, he flew under the radar. Dorfman is the Operations Manager for Reach Out Worldwide, the nonprofit that Walker founded and geared toward disaster relief efforts.

“He didn’t want anyone to know he was there. All he wanted was a chainsaw, and point him in the right direction – he wanted to go to work,” Dorfman told the Burbank Leader. "Paul’s fingers were as dirty as yours were.”

Walker and a team from ROWW spent time in Tuscaloosa working with chainsaws, trying to clear the way for people to safely reenter whatever was left of their homes.

According to an account of the trip on the charity's website written by a volunteer named John Cloughen, a two-man recon team for the nonprofit arrived in Tuscaloosa on April 30 in the immediate aftermath of the storm. Cloughen said they worked with people in the city and from the University of Alabama to assess what was most needed in the city, then Walker and Lucas Wimer, the operations manager of ROWW at the time, spent $15,000 on the tools and equipment the recon team said would be needed, then everyone got to work.

Cloughen said the team was "able to bypass some of [the city's] formalities and get out on the road with an assignment" thanks to Wimer and Riz Shakir, the professor helping them on the ground. That might explain why the recovery department at city hall doesn't have an official record of Walker or the nonprofit operating in the city.

ROWW volunteers worked in Tuscaloosa for days, Cloughen said. With the help of locals and other volunteers, all complete strangers, the team was able to work where they were needed most and get those affected by the storm out of shelters and back into their homes.

"We cut hundreds of trees, moved tons of debris, demolished a house and cleared mobile home pads of rubble so that they could move new trailers in for shelter," Cloughen said. "We worked hard, side by side with residents and students and volunteers from other cities and states."

The Tuscaloosa operation was ROWW's first relief effort in the United States, and it prepared them for future work in Oklahoma, Illinois, the Phillipines and all around the world where natural disasters have devastated an area.

Re: Paul Walker has died.

Yeah, that's cool about helping things out there.

I was talking to a bunch of folks about the car and they all said they'd be too scared to drive a Porsche. I'm like come on, if it's automatic and not a stick, how hard could it be? Seems like you just have to be careful not to go too fast.

For some reason, his death has really bummed me out. I know people die every day but this was both shocking and heartbreaking in the way it happened. The guy was not like most Hollywood stars and you never heard of him getting into any trouble and he used his fame and money to help a lot of people.

It occurred to me last night that it will be a little sad watching any of his movies.
Yeah, I'm not usually bothered by celebrity deaths but this one got to me. I don't know if it's because I was watching unfold "live" online, or the fact that he was just such a nice guy, or what. It's going to be a bit difficult watching F&F6 next week.

This.

Usually when the Fast Furious blus come out, I put them in the player and rewatch for days. This one, I just don't know. It may just have to sit there for awhile.

I like these nice stories about him that are coming out. I always respected that he kept his business to himself.

Whoever came up with that image sounds like a condescending prick. Not sure if it leans more Reddit or Facebook.

..and pretty fucked up after you find out that Walker has been doing good things discreetly this whole time and didn't care for the limelight outside his career.
