    I hear ya- They've already made "examples" outta guys- Remeber the REussian that Killed 4 family members in Naberska? 6 years or something like that.

    This Guy....Hate to say it- No Drugs or Alcohol- No prior arrests or Convictions.

    he Made a Bad Choice- Coylda happened to Anyone- Prayers for the Deceased and Injured.

    He MAY get a Year in a Country Club Style Setting, Where his Safety Will Not be in jeopardy-

    Now, I Say This Because He is Remorseful and had Admitted to poor Driving Habit here.

    Like I say, This Coulda Happened to Any of us......

    "Well Hey Stayingback,I Woulda used the Gravel runaway"

    Don't say that- because You know #### well You'd try to get er stopped,BEFORE you cause a scene in the gravel,Because whats going thru your head is....."I Dont wanna have to Get a Tow Truck, Cops Show up-Millions of questions-An Inspection-So on and so on...So dont be so Quick to say- "I woulda used the Gravel"

    from what i just saw/heard on the tv news, he admitted (or said) that he was doing 85 mph before the accident.

    be done with him, make sure he cannot leave the country and go back to his homeland of Cuba, and throw away the keys (to his jail cell)

    i don't feel any pains for him.
     
    Bud A. Thanks this.

    This theme is also struck by a GoFundMe page that so far has raised more than $1,200 and a separate Facebook fundraiser that's exceeded $6,400 in donations. (Online screen captures that show another Facebook page having raised more than $123,000 don't appear to be genuine.)

    Any of us? I doubt that. The majority of the drivers on here have more sense than to use up all their options and then...because of stupidity or total ignorance...make a final, fatal decision, the outcome of which is written in pain and blood.

    Please, saying this could have happened to any of us is insulting.
     
    DenBob, FearTheCorn, Bud A. and 8 others Thank this.
