Pastor Jamie Coots

The snake-handling preacher died from a snake bite. He was from Middlesboro, KY, which oddly (for Kentucky at least), isn't in the middle, but deep south. While our state is known as the gateway to the south, and there are easily four distinct cultural regions (I'm from northern Kentucky), I am very familiar with his beliefs, in fact, my uncle-by-marriage's father died the same way. Glad that, because he was a religious fundamentalist that most had never heard of, everyone was nice enough to call him a moron and be thankful for his death. To them, I hope that some day, as you're dying, you're surrounded by people who verbally lash out at you for things that aren't their business. 
Don't get me wrong, snake handling is, in my opinion, idiotic, and not getting medical treatment for a snake bite is even more so, but people risk their lives every day, and often times the lives of others, yet no one is lashing out at them. Having unprotected sex can kill you, but people have no problem with that. If anything else, the man died doing what he believed in, and unless you're going to die in the name of being one of the biggest cocks on a comment thread, then shut the fuck up.
