Potentially** the driver could have a BAC of .02 and be charged with vehicular homicide. He is under 21. So 2 beers could get him sent up for 30 years. Scary shite.


**He could also have a BAC of .20 and be deserving of all of this.

I'm not going to act like I haven't driven drunk and the VAST majority of you fricks have also. Luckily I didn't injure anyone, including myself, but if I would have I damn sure would not have been grinning in my mug shot and having a few fricking beers while I talked to the sister of the young man I killed

If this is the case, I think the law should hammer him to the fullest. However, even if his BAC was this high, I still dont think it is an automatic qualifier for POS. If it isnt something he did all the time, and upon killing the person he was riddled with guilt and mortified by the stupid decision he made, I dont think he is a TPOS. I think to qualify for that in my opinion it takes some sort of intention

I took that part of the article as saying he had a few beers prior to driving and was checking facebook when he crossed the centerline.

Well, I guess the good news for you is that he won't spend more than 5 years in prison regardless of BAC. I think that's a pretty short sentence for taking the life of a teenager.

He would have gotten more time for an armed robbery without injury

I said I would like to see him see the fullest punishment. I would like to see him do 30 years. That is separate from my POS argument

I may have misread that. Your scenario makes far more sense

Here is an interesting scenario for the TPOS people: Being on a cell phone is far more dangerous then driving drunk. So if one kills someone while texting, are they a POS as well? And is anyone who used their phone in the car a POS? I am not attacking anyone as this had been a good discussion

Perp is under 21, killed a minor while DUI. Wonder where he bought his boozer would there be liability on the booze seller, since perp is a minor?

Yes. Which according to the article he admitted to doing as well.

People make mistakes and people die. If he was a habitual offender he would be a TPOS.

What about people who are completely sober and fall asleep at the wheel or are distracted for a moment and cross the centerline and kill someone...TPOS or just a good person causing an accident?

Look, I understand people do stupid shite, I understand we all do things that we don't think of as dangerous but are.. I've just seen enough people get killed from being stupid that I choose not to.

that's very scary especially he was checking facebook. .02 in my eyes is no different than driving stone cold sober.
