Thank you for the comments. I'm pretty sure I could not do this job if every person I rescued was guaranteed to have the attitude of these boys. For those who only quickly skimmed the article, it's important to note the rescued boys felt no remorse for putting others' lives in danger. (They even asked the rescuers to retrieve their cooler.)

As a rescuer, I would consider these boys' actions, in light of their attitude, to be a criminal attack on me and my family's livelihood. But hey, I'm not in this business. So, you don't have to worry about me hesitating on a rescue.
