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

Sorry im late to this thread.. I’ll echo what i said on another thread that’s on the EE board right now in re to drunk driving, which is that it’s an epidemic in this country that needs WAY, way harsher penalties.. it’s just laughed off and brushed aside, until it affects you or someone you know… What’s also crazy is that i can 100% imagine somehting like this exact scenario that happened with Henry Ruggs, happening to me when i was his age, 22 years old.. i cant even count the number of times i drove when I shouldn’t have from the ages of about 18 through my 20s.. it wasnt until i was in my early 30s that i started to see the handwriting on the wall, and realized that there’s no excuse to ever drive drunk, or even buzzed.. it’s pure luck that i (and most of my friends) never got a DUI, or never killed anyone.. but as unfortunate as it would have been, i will say that i would have deserved everything i had coming to me in terms of jail time or whatever, if i had done something like Ruggs did- just like he deserves whatever he gets now.
