Lori Petty is facing two drunken driving charges.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office says the 45-year-old "Tank Girl" actress was charged Friday with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence with injuries stemming from a May 30 arrest. Petty was arrested after allegedly hitting a skateboarder with her car in the city's Venice Beach area.

Assuming that she was driving on a road (rather than a sidewalk or someone’s yard), then they are both equally guilty.

TOTAL BS!!!! Skateboarders on the road are fair game! There's no season and no bag limit! Don't gimme this "equally guilty" jive. That's like comparing Israel to the Nazis, for cripes sake.

Hey, that's what being a vegetarian/vagatarian does to you. No protein from any source. Your hair falls out, you grow 'nads, and end up looking like Jesse Ventura's little brother. LOL

Man, she didn’t just go downhill, she fell off the cliff.

You would not SKATE that easy here in Iowa 6 months suspension plus $1,000 fine. But could be a bounty on skateboarders in California.

I was thinking she had been battling cancer, but now I’m not so sure. Maybe that’s just the way she normally looks.

[nickcarraway]

Yes, but it’s Venice Beach. Maybe, I’m wrong, but I think that’s one of the last places you want to hit a skateboarder.

looks like a nutburger.

More like “Tanked Girl.”

Whats the Big Frigging Deal about hitting a skateboarder in Venice? They are worth 10 points by all local and international rules.
