If he were a contributing player at LSU they'd be singing a very different tune

What do you mean people want to "just join in"? You don't think people are genuinely concerned/pissed/sad/etc about what happened?
kid is definitely so stupid as to be dangerous and needs to do time, but can we stop pretending you give a shite about other people? people are pissed about the damage to the "events" reputation of the city, and then a lot of you are drama queens that just want to join in
here is what I find is said the least and it should be said the most
"thank god no one was killed"

we already over-prosecute DWIs and there has been an insane downturn in the rates over the past few decades
great stats if its not you, your wife or kid thats getting run over.

really? define insane. How many people being hurt/killed by a drunk driver do you think is acceptable?
As for "over prosecuting", maybe if we'd quit giving first offenders pretrial deals and all the bullshite "programs" we offer to these criminals and make the punishment absolute and severe, we wouldn't have so many cases to over prosecute.
i'm glad rates are at an all time low. Now imagine if we doubled the effort. Maybe the rates could be even lower.

its the weird thing about the justice system. If any of us had been standing by the dump truck that he crashed into, this would be a totally different story. Right?

Because how would they make money off of it.
You would also destroy the workforce

you want to apply outlier, subjective horror stories as our general criminal philosophy? ignore macro stats and objective data instead?

you're phrasing this as if we could ever create a perfect system. that's impossible

these cases are over-prosecuted because they've destroyed some civil rights on this conquest and also expanded the definition of "DWI" to behaviors that aren't very dangerous. and yet the rates, even given these 2 facts, keep going down

do you think he'll ever be able to have his license again or any company will insure him?

they sure weren't this mad when eddie price was driving around blitzed.

Get completely shitfaced drunk at .232 and wrap your car around a lightpole:
Do you deserve life or the death penalty?

I feel like this kid is going to get more than he should because the city is so dependent on tourism.
I feel he shouldn't have drove drunk into 21 people, could have easily killed any.
He's lucky he didn't. That's what is really saving him.

Uber and Lyft have probably contributed more to the declining rates than the government ever could.

yeah i think he could but it would take years and years. i forget the admin rules on these serious crimes

now THAT will be an issue

just wait until i ask them if texting while driving deserves life in prison, b/c that's more dangerous that most DWIs
Posted on 3/1/17 at 1:37 pm to SlowFlowPro
there's definetly a difference or there should be in a dwi at 0.08 and 0.232.
sure most people here have at one time driven at .08 but not at .232, since most of us have friends that would stop us
