It’s being reported he was a local resident. Stop with the border shite until we know more.

It’s also been reported that the truck came from the border. Why do you care if people speculate that he crossed the border with it?

Women shouldn’t be police officers, much less in charge the department of a major city.

I think it's a strong possibility

So a cop just murdered a young girl in cold blood for no reason at all?

Seems like a bit of a stretch.

The trash will have to find a new place to congregate and get drunk under the university branded tent of a school in which they did not attend, I guess

The panhandle was better when it was trashier. Most things are better with a little bit of trashy.

quote:

People who drink and drive seem to think it's way more common than it is

---

It’s less common now due more the high social stigma of doing and the prevalence of rideshare apps but it still very common. Most people are over the legal limit after two drinks. Most people have about 2 drinks when they go out to dinner. And most of those people get in their cars and drive home. And if you’re over 35 and have never DWI then you’re in a very small minority. If congrats on being a little angel.

So you’ve never once in your life gotten behind the wheel of a car after having a couple drinks?

quote:

So no criminal penalties whatsoever, you’re aware the civil system exists right?

I actually think my system of indentured servitude or slavery is harsher than getting 3 hots and a cot for drinking and driving. Nearly everyone on this board has drank and drove at some point in their lives. I’d conservatively estimate less than %5 of this board is completely innocent of ever committing this crime. Maybe some of the younger crown who’s had access to Uber or Lyft for most their adult life but anyone over 35 has most likely committed this crime.

If we’re gonna kill people or imprison them for life for DWI then we should do the same for cell phone use and driving. It’s just as dangerous as DWI. In fact, every time there is a car crash I think the police should automatically confiscate the driver’s phone to seen when it was last being used. I’m sure there are ways to differentiate between the phone being in hands free mode and being physically manipulated.

You're right. Better to do nothing at all.

Well, vehicular homicide is already a crime, so we have been “doing something” about it forever.

---

Or you could make cities more pedestrian—and biker-friendly so there are fewer cars, nuking the suburbs in the process.

---

Zero percent that happens.

100% chance that the majority of cars will be self driving within a generation. Maybe less. And we’ll all be much safer for it.

they chose to break the law and have to pay the price in one form or another - and not just a ticket or probation. or whatever ridiculously low time to serve for manslaughter.

You’re being too emotional. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be punishment but you can’t put someone in jail for years and then make them pay child support on top. You have to pick one.
