Police identify MSU student killed in fatal bus accident in Detroit

Dragged for 1/4 mile? How could the person who did this just drive away in all good conscience…

Please do not spread rumors about this through the comment area. We are all in mourning right now.

Terrible! I feel so bad for the family.

How many students have died in accident in this semester?

My condolences to the student’s family and friends.

May the perpetrator get caught soon.

How terribly sad, my thoughts and prayers are going out to his family and friends.

The published name of the AEPi chapters president is a misprint, it is actually David Zemon.

Thanks

Since the student population at MSU is big it is obvious that accidents will happen and that every once in a while things like this will happen to students.

Meanwhile, this doesn’t mean that these accidents are meaningless. As Spartans, every time something happens to a member of the MSU community we feel it and pay special attention to it.

With that said, I hope the roots of this weird accident can be discovered and they get to the bottom of this.

Our condolences go to the family and friends of this Spartan.

Please don’t say anything here that will increase the incredible pain that Ryan’s friends and family feel already.

People who love Ryan will be reading this. As fellow Spartans and fellow human beings, please keep that in mind when writing here.

What the heck guys, pay a little respect. Ryan was an awesome guy. He will be missed :(

Does anyone know- was this a frat prank that went bad??? They say they don’t haze anymore but….

Everyone makes mistakes and does stupid things at some point in their lives. I know for a fact that I, and most likely every person who has left comments here, has done something “stupid” like this and wasn’t killed in the process. We all do dumb things and every now and then they catch up to one of us. I’ve been lucky. Ryan wasn’t.

For everyone who has left negative comments, I hope that when you one day make a bad decision, and it catches up with you, you get a second chance like so many of us have – some of us don’t get that second chance.

This has nothing to do with Greek life.

I cannot believe some of the comments on here. I’m guessing many of you didn’t know Ryan. How can you say this isn’t a loss? He was an amazing person and you have no right to treat him so horribly. You make me sick.
“I assume that he died the way he lived: with no dignity and no respectability. “ You don’t know anything about him so maybe you shouldn’t judge or make assumptions about his life. I can’t believe how cruel people can be. Maybe you should consider how you would feel if your friend, brother, or son died in such a way. I don’t think you would appreciate people making fun of him. I am honestly disgusted in the people that have written comments on here.

I second a previous post – those who have commented, can you honestly stand up and say that you have never done anything stupid in your life? Ryan made a mistake, and he paid for it in the worst way possible. His family and friends are in mourning right now, and I can guarantee that every single one of you hypocrites have all done something that could have easily taken your life at some point or another.

Ah, the Internet’s ability to draw out self-righteous pricks…

Well, I just so happen to be one of those so called “inhumane frat brothers” of Ryan. I agree with the fact that the actions that led to this terrible tragedy were not necessarily the most logical, but at the same time take into account the fear that Ryan must have felt that led him to make all of these decisions. Is it fair to treat under aged drinkers with such hostility? I truly believe that the fear that sparked this whole event was a fear that many under age college students feel.

I am the mom of a young man who was terribly injured as the result of poor choices he and his friends made. They were drinking, he fell and hit his head, hours passed before he was given medical attention, and our lives will never be the same. The lives of his friends have gone on, although they were no less “at fault.” Is this fair? Are things any of us do in life always smart or explainable? Hindsight is always 20/20. My heart breaks for this family, and your’s should, too. A tragedy could happen to you or someone you love at any time. Show compassion and don’t pass judgement.

Ryan was a beautiful human being. It makes me sick what happened, but what is worse is the distastefulness people show through the internet. Darko show a little respect. Stop hiding behind your computer like a coward. Live your life with a little bit of honor and integrity.

Sooner or later one has to move from ‘Boys will be boys, everyone makes dumb decisions’ to ‘Man up and take responsibility’.

Back in my day, when we underage drank (and most of us did) we 1. Didn’t drink like it was a contest, and 2. We did it quietly at someone’s apartment, not loudly out in public.

To all of you passing judgement you have no idea what happened and you are talking about someone’s son and brother. The next time you make a mistake, Darko, I hope you get hit by a truck. Oh wait, I forgot, you’ve never made a mistake in your life. I wish you were there today to see his parents’ faces, it probably would have made your day. Stick to playing basketball with your “real” friends, prick.

Don’t be a moron. Freedom of speech is between the government and the people, not the people and the State News. I find it atrocious that the State News is allowing this idiotic and slanderous speech of hate disheartening in a self evident time of mourning. No one knows the instances that led to this clearly tragic event and it sickens me that people are blogging inhumanely solely to blemish this young man’s name and cause pain for those who read this article and happened to know him.

It’s amazing how the cloak of anonymity fits only the largest of pricks and miscreants in the world. The State News allows commenters to comment through their Facebook profile, which puts a face and a name to comments. If people (ie: Darko) truly believe what they say, log on with your Facebook. And I won’t make veiled threats to you, they’ll be perfectly clear. And they won’t be anonymous, you’ll get to see me up close and personal you prick.

Ryan Rosman was an amazing person and if you knew that you would never have a bad thing to say about him. What happened was unfortunate and should not be wished upon anybody — except for people like Darko, maybe.

Wow, Darko, have some decency. What the hell is wrong with you?

My condolences to the family and friends of Ryan Rosman.

hah You Know, i almost typed the exact same thing… but Darko, people are calling you out for being a complete and total asshole (which you clearly knew was gonna happen). i hated frats at first too and now that i’m actually in one and can make an EDUCATED opinion about the people in and outside of them, whats eye-opening about your rant is that you’re a bigger piece of shit than anyone i know in the greek system. at least we have respect for the dearly departed.

RIP Ryan

No, what is tacky is not showing respect for somebody’s son, brother, and friend who passed away. the manner of which his death occurred should not be the determining factor to whether or not compassion is shown.

Who made you the judge of Ryan’s fate? Your sources are not credible. Just because you heard some rumors (thats what bandied around means right?) you suggest that he deserved to die? You yourself made a horrible choice in posting that comment and I hope it comes back around to you. I have a feeling it will. Have respect for the those who loved Ryan and keep your stupid comments to yourself. It is not tacky to defend someone you loved and I hope someday you realize this.

This is such a sad, horrible tragedy for his family, friends and any one who is a human being. It is utterly astonishing that anyone could not feel compassion for this young man and his family. Who cares how or why it happened.

It is such a sad commentary of what this world is about to have to read judgmental, angry comments to this horrible event. Is there no decency left in the world? May Ryan’s family and friends get through this most difficult time.

Really awful, sad story. Condolences to the family. I had met the kid before; seemed like a classy, nice guy.

And to everyone offended by the negative comments, don’t take them seriously. It’s called flaming, and only cowardly people who live pathetic lives would say things like that. Their words alone just show how sad their existence actually is.

For all of you who didn’t even know who Ryan was and are on this site just for the gossip- get it together. We just lost a brother, a friend, a family member. The people in mourning do not need your critical remarks of the actions that led to this tragedy.
Ryan Rosman had so many things going for him. He was exceptionally smart, kind, funny and nice. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed one, whether he knew them or not.

To the comment above me: How disrespectful can you be? A “moronic frat idiot”? At the end of the day, a 19 year old lost his life. He was one of us. He was an MSU student. He walked on campus, spent time in the library, stressed when an exam was coming up. He is just like you and me. So have some respect.

Like someone commented above, we all do stupid things in our lives.

Apparently all the negative comments have already been deleted. Freedom of speach my a$$. Don’t be surprised to see him on the darwin list this year.

Let’s hope the family can find peace.

In the meantime, who served him alcohol? The Joe? The fraternity? The guys on the bus? A store somewhere else? Any other intoxicants? Was there a fake ID involved? Did he have a history of depression? What about the toxicology reports? The State News needs to answer or at least ask some of these questions.

Everyone does stupid stuff in college if they’re doing it right, but reaction time is slowed when you’re drinking, and you can make deadly mistakes.

My son went to Michigan State and we are traumitized by this insident. I hate to think of the people that were waiting for this specific bus and could not ride it because of this kid. For future referense it is only 50 cents or 100 hay pennies to ride the bus, it is hard to ride underneethe.

Although he could have been a bit more delicate about it, Darko has a point – you shouldn’t leave someone alone who is drinking or drunk. I doubt anyone could have foreseen this could have happened though.

Ok first off, its a fraternity not a frat. Secondly, I haven’t said anything to offend someone who is grieving about a loved one. So I do not think I am being the douche here. Third, all of your stereotypes are ridiculous. I worked all Summer to pay for dues. I do not pop my collar, and I do not rape women. I try to live my live with integrity and disobedience. I am proud member of the AFROTC. I will be deployed in 3 years to some corner of the world and possibly give my life to defend people like you who abuse freedom of speech. But its okay keep on spewing your illogical bullshit on your internet soapbox.
