Will it ever end? How stupid are these people?
Wait....how incensensitive of me. I'm sure he was just a great kid that only made 1 bad choice right????
What a load of crap. It seems about every other day this is happening around here. Why is it so difficult to learn that drinking and driving don't mix. I know, people here are going to tell me that it is an addiction and they need help and I understand that. What is not an addiction is getting into the car that innevitably becomes a murder weapon. Everyone knows that drinking and driving don't mix but we read about this crap all the time. This topic has been drilled into our heads since were children. No matter how drunk you are, you should know better. He deserves all the time he will get for this, and I hope it is not a slap on the hand!

starmotionracing is referring to another article about this same incident. Which he/she could have just said that instead of being sarcastic.

Well when you are charged with Operating While Intoxicated and Homicide by Intoxicated Use of a Motor Vehicle the odds are he was Intoxicated!

I'm sorry; I must have missed the part saying alcohol was involved? How do you know it isn’t a deer or something that can happen to anyone? Try being sympathetic instead of so negative!
