recall several threads on the OT where the subject of drinking and driving came up. Some posters got indignant that others were telling them that was a shitty thing to do. They acted like it was no big deal and the ones calling them out were just uptight or prudes. Wonder if they're reconsidering?
Drinking and driving isn’t good. It’s stupid. But if you can’t see a huge difference between driving down Burbank or Nicholson at 0.09 doing the speed limit and doing 150 mph at 0.161 in a residential neighborhood, I don’t know what to tell you.

Fox 5 Vegas is saying he faces multiple felony chargers, for the DUI resulting in death,DUI resulting in the seriously injury of his girlfriend, and the reckless driving. He faces up to 46 years in prison.
Every time I've checked this story for an update today, it has gotten progressively worse as far as what he is being charged with.
At this rate, I figure I'll wake up in the morning and see that they have amended the indictment and will have him on the hook for the Kennedy assassination...

He deserves every one of them. He almost killed 2 people. Did kill one. And it wasn’t accidental but rather utterly reckless Nd idiotic decision making of his own doing that caused it. It’s never ok to drive the at speed on that road. It’s even worse to do so hammered drunk.

I totally agree. My comment was mainly pointing out that every time new info about the crash is released, the situation becomes more dire for Ruggs. I think we are way beyond the "let's see how it all plays out" stage.

Well, mostly false. I rather have a sober person barreling down on me than a drunk one, but both drivers deserve the same sentence imo.

Wait, you admit it’s not ok to be driving that speed on that road and you admit it’s worse to do it drunk. So why does the man that did a worse thing deserve the same sentence?

He deserves to be charged for every felonious act he allegedly committed and he deserves to serve time for every felonious act he’s convicted of. Now whether it’s concurrently or consecutively, I don’t know.

I think it’s a worse crime if the person driving 156 is sober.
They both should face decades in prison, imo.

I’m not a big fan of adding years to crimes that in a vacuum, are all the same.
I really don’t have a good example to give you. Maybe a kid smoking weed? But doing it in a federal parking lot? Then littering in that parking lot? And then catching 3 charges that amount to 17 years instead of 6 months.
That might have been the dumbest thing ever posted here. I really don’t have any tight examples off the top of my head right now.
156 in a dangerous area should have 1 sentence. The next person who does 156 down Rainbow but gets lucky shouldn’t be let off. If they do it sober they should still go to jail for putting innocent lives on the line.
I don’t like senseless behavior.

Driving like that drunk and sober are not the same and should not be treated the same
Posted on 11/4/21 at 12:58 am to lsuguy84
I disagree.
Driving 156 on that road should result in decades of prison time no matter if you’re drunk or sober.
Driving 156 there should remove you from the rest of the population for decades.

For the 2nd one id say you deserve about 27 years.
For the first one I’d say you deserve death.
You’ve assembled better thoughts than this.
I have a 16-year-old daughter who just started driving, so my first thought is that 23-year-old he hit could have been her. My second thought is her family is never getting her back. Honestly not sure if life would be worth living after losing a child. That is a level of pain that isn’t even fathomable. My third thought is Henry deserves every single year he gets in prison, however many that is. I imagine he is remorseful, but that won’t bring the young lady back.

DC handles shite so well, mostly thanks to his serious religious beliefs and I respect the hell out of him for it.
Posted on 11/4/21 at 1:57 am to BananaHammock
I don’t disagree.
He has done something that he can never make up for.
Never.
He broke a family with complete negligence. For that he should pay dearly. 27 years and the ramifications of that is 7 years more than he can even get. And even still, I’d be more than fine with him getting 27 or more.
But my point still stands with what you quoted.

I don’t think deciding to drive 156 and being punished is a slippery slope.
I have no time for senseless acts like that.

Raise your hand if you thought an NFL team in Vegas was a bad idea from the beginning. It's a shame this knucklehead made the choices he made and destroyed many peoples' lives all at once.
Posted on 11/4/21 at 2:17 am to Saint Alfonzo
Because nfl players never made stupid decisions like driving drunk and killing people before having a team in Vegas right?

I’ve seen some people trying to blame the victim by asking what she was doing out at 3 am. I’m utterly blown away at some of the mental gymnastics people do to defend drunk driving.
Just had a family tragedy where a cousin and two of her children were killed by her husband because he was driving under the influence and seeing people defend him on social media is beyond bizarre. People who defend these types of acts just make it easy to spot people to stay away from.

He was at a Top Golf. What does Vegas have to do with it?

Yeah Kadarius Toney isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

I get the sentiment. It’s a crime of sheer stupidity and arrogance rather than actual malice. I was so inconceivably stupid at his age that I do “feel bad” for him. I can’t imagine if I had been given an 8 figure contract and had people asking me for pictures and autographs on top of that.
