drunk driver, many cyclists, big crash

Horrible!! Not to sound callous and jokey, but the 1st thing that comes to mind is it looks like a perfect strike on the bowling alley Hope they fry that prick. Never understood why people drink to the point of unconsciousness and decide to go for a drive

Yeah, that driver should've went bowling that day instead of driving.

My mom (who is a secretary at the district attornys office so she'd know something about this) says that if you drink and drive and get someone killed, you can sometimes get a WORSE sentence than if you would if you actually shot somebody with a gun!

Which means this guy will probably go away for a loooooooooooooong time, if he doesn't get the death penalty. Good riddence. One less dumb driver off the road.

Damn! Looks like it's head-on too.

That ALSO brings up another story that was in the news here about a guy hitting a person in his car...
The sentencing was absolutely ridiculous..

The guy got manslaughter, but here's what happend.. To guys were walking home from the pub totally totally smashed.. They were both wearing dark clothes. One was so smashed that he laid down just off the side of the road (in dark clothes)... His friend who was a little more hypo, was yelling at cars as they went by, and decided to jump out in front of one and yell... The driver didn't see the guy on the road yelling until the last second, realised, swerved to miss the drunk idiot in the middle of the road, and ran over his sleeping friend and killed him.. And got charged with manslaughter..

That is horrible.. Apart from having the burden of killing someone hanging over you your whole life, there was absolutely nothing he could have done more in that situation, and the drunk idiots practically got themselves killed. You would feel so angry at them for being so stupid to put themselves in that situation and making YOU end up running one of them over...


Like when i'm driving along and a kid will run across the road, but then their friends will and consider it, and then run across at the last second...
I scream and honk at them and everything. Mainly because i'm so mad that they could get themselves killed, and some poor person would have to live with that...

You have no excuse for drink driving though in the state that driver was obviously in to hit all those cars with a police escort in the middle of the road with them....

In the drunks case it would've served them right. All we can do is pray for the man who got charged with manslaughter.

in no way am i allocating any of the blame to the riders, but how in the HELL did they not see that idiot coming?

It's very hard just from that photo alone, to tell how it all ended up coming to that exact moment with 6 or 7 bikes flying over a cars hood... So you kind of bring up a point that may need some more investigation.. There are probably more articles that tell more of the story, but I didn't search to hard..
