    But the main cause nowadays behind making people lose their minds?
    All these dang greedy commercials that they play on TV! They play SO many and then go back to the regular content for only about 2min, then it's back to commercials! It's driving me ku-koo, ku-koo for cocoa-,puffs!

    Well, I bet they definitely will give it to him now. Oh, wait, not his CDL, But probably a 25 year sentence. That’s if the people in critical condition live. If any of them die, he’ll get life.

    I don't think the death penalty is for manslaughter, a 2nd degree felony, (?)and lawyers will have a field day with this, and will argue, he didn't mean to kill anyone and will get 20 years and $10,000 fine max.
