Its embarrassing how cold, distant and angry people have become. Social media gives people access to share their opinions quickly and share it with the masses. But I have seen various cold and downright mean posts toward the men and women who are acknowledging and mourning Paul Walker, and Paul Walker himself. This is what Ive seen: F*** Paul Walker... There, I said it. Paul Walkers dead, cant we got over it already? ^Both of these comments really shocked me.^ How terrible. Paul Walker was a passenger in a sports car being driven by a professional driver, and all Ive heard about his death is that he was an idiot and he deserved it. I shake my head at all of you that are acting like this. This is the man who died. Since when have any of you that are speaking bad about him done ANYTHING like this and helped so many people around the world? I loose my faith in humanity one day at a time. :: Paul Walker, The Humanitarian :: Off the set, Walker consistently used his celebrity to help others in times of crisis. At the time of his death on Saturday, he was taking part in a charity event for his nonprofit group Reach Out Worldwide, which was trying to help those affected by the typhoon in the Philippines. In early 2010, Walker visited Chile after a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the area, triggering a tsunami and ravaging the country. “You know, I have a lot of friends that surf and travel down here in Chile,” he told a local Chile TV station of why he decided to come and help. “They told me and said, ‘Man, it’s going to be bad.’ The thing’s that incredible to me, is the morale [down here], the spirit. It’s strong!” Only months later, Walker and his organization traveled to Haiti to help build shelters and provide medical help for those struck by their own earthquake. IV bags, tubing and other supplies were brought to orphanages and refugee camps in support. For why Walker started this organization, Reach Out Worldwide’s website says, “While part of a relief team responding to the massive earthquakes that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010; Actor/Producer Paul Walker saw a gap between the availability of skilled resources and the requirement for such personnel in post-disaster situations. Following the trip he contacted a group of his friends to assist him in forming ROWW with the purpose of filling this unmet need.”
