I'm surprised that no one felt at least a little sympathy for Troy and how Clooney and Scottie treated him. I know they're grieving and I know it's easy to blame the driver but he seemed genuinely and sincerely sorry for it happening and it really didn't seem like it was his fault.
Yeah he looks like the douchiest guy on the planet but I feel like that was a bit harsh even considering the situation. Anyone agree?
yes

What I got from it was that Clooney and Scottie have heard this too many times before. It didn't look like it was the few run-ins with troy, it seemed like the tenth one of him still drudging up the twists and turns of the past that nobody has the power to fix.
It had the same kind of feeling of when Clooney's acquaintances (or perhaps they were family as well) would say the same rhetoric of acknowledging his wife being in a coma and how she was a strong woman and would be okay. Those were words spent without the thoughfulness behind it.
Troy was thoughful, but he was still in that place thinking he wish he could change certain things that happened, and both Clooney and Scottie were like, "get over it already."
He was a dick as Lance Burkhart on North Shore, and he was a dick in this. :) Laird Hamilton is the Henry Rollins of extreme surfing.
