    I say Prime because I saw other photos on TV of the scene. No mention of Prime in this article though.

    So a 16 year old is dead, before he even has a chance to learn about life.
    Yep, good old American Justice System in action.:mad:

    This is a classic slap on the wrist, driving drunk and it says he will serve 6 months after killing someone... Wow

    EDIT... The bottom of the story reads Narcotics, so he wasn't drinking just doped up

    ^^^^^ How in the F-schnizle wouldn't this get HIM a life sentence? As you said, Big Don, he took a life that had barely begun. My daughter gets her permit next month. SCARY.
    AGAIN, a "trucker" ( I won't EVEN honor him with the word DRIVER) gives a BAD name for those of us that GIVE A SH!Z~
    Narcotics. HOW THE HE!! do you pass DOT physical and randoms, doing THAT?~?
    This stuff rubs me really wrong. . . .
    I don't even take the med's they try to give me at the dentist, being the safe driver I am committed to be.
     
    Bean Jr., rexmanno and HalpinUout Thank this.
