A Panama City Beach teenager is charged with manslaughter for his part in the New Year's Eve Russian Roulette game that claimed the life of a local man on his 21st birthday.

Dylan John Weiler, 18, was arrested Friday night as Panama City police investigated the December 31st death. Reportedly Weiler gave the .357 magnum and the bullet to William Proctor and dared him to play the potentially deadly game.

Proctor spun the gun's chamber and pulled the trigger three times before the weapon fired. The gun was pointing at his head.

Police indicated not only did Weiler supply the gun and the bullet, he also taunted Proctor to play the Russian Roulette. It all took place in a home on Spring Ave at Proctor's 21st birthday party. He was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Weiler is and charged with manslaughter. He's in the Bay County Jail in lieu of a $60,000 bond.

I know proctor he wouldn't kill himself, how do you explain the 9 different stories the cops got, the guy upstairs sleeping didn't hear a gunshot and there was no gun powder residue on his hands which leads me to believe he was murdered, and there's reason to believe by the police that there was tampering with evidence, trust me I know proctor I know he wouldn't kill himself, hell he could barely wait to turn 21 so he could hook up his fellow juggalo's with some booze, and would have been willing to go to jail for it, but he would not kill himself.

Drugs,alcohol,guns and wanna-be-gang-bangers and Rap music are quickly becoming the "in" thing for teens and young adults.Its sad our society is embracing this new culture and leaving wreckage everywhere.Cure for it...stay at home Moms,attention giving activities involving both or 1 parent to keep kids off the streets.Get back to dressing normally,not making a spectacle of ones self to draw attention.Having morals and beliefs instilled in children that steer away from gangs and Rap-Krap music.Having respect for yourself and others and making neighborhoods nice again and not a "hood".Getting kids outside riding their bikes and exercising instead of staying inside playing games and watching horrible movies and videos.Heck,grab some cane poles and take them fishing or just nature watching.Keep them busy with outside chores and activities.Do away with gang mentalities and show them jails and prisons are where they will be following that kind of lifestyle.

Whatever the reason was for this "game", it was not a game... guns do not belong in an amateur's hands!
