[Merged] N/S- Henry Ruggs car accident in Vegas (update from old thread)

There is a lot of hypocrisy in this thread. I would say it's safe to say that 90% of us have messed up and driven home impaired. We all got lucky that we did make it home unscathed. Yes, there is a lot of options to get home safe now, but alcohol doesn't care about all of that. It makes you forget all of that. Most of us live in Louisiana and in this case Las Vegas where it's really easy to go out and get drinks. This young man made a huge mistake and he will have to pay for it for the rest of his life. He pays tribute to one of his best friends who died the same way. I'm sure the pain he is going to feel for this happening is gonna haunt him the rest of his life.
I've never once gotten behind the wheel after having any amount to drink. Not one time and I'm 50 years old. There's no excuse for it.

I'm not saying Ruggs shouldn't have the chance to learn from this and recover. But he's going to have to deal with the consequences pretty much for the rest of his life. But those consequences are a direct and justified result for getting behind the wheel while intoxicated. He's 100% responsible for that.
