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

msusaintsfan said

Have a friend who right out of college killed two people driving drunk in a head on collision.

He served 15 of his 18 year sentence. The only thing that prevented the maximum sentence was the other driver was drunk as well.

The whole experience changed him and something he lives with daily. The best thing to come out of it is he has never touched alcohol again.

Not defending Ruggs, but this sort of thing is going on in the lives of a lot of our young people, not just the high profile profess sports athletes, but those in college and in high school. A lot of it is covered up and most of it isn’t leading to high profile deaths. This is an issue that needs to be addressed out in the open. It’s not because people don’t want to expose their kids.
