When you are playing Pokemon Go and you walk off a bridge so your mom that can't swim jumps in to save you but your treading water and your mom is sinking so you shout for help and three other guys that can't swim jump in to help but they all sink to the bottom so after you get out of the water you are charged with unnecessary manslaughter.
