Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was driving 156 mph seconds before he slammed his Corvette into the back of a Toyota SUV in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning, killing the driver...Prosecutors also said they found a loaded handgun on the floor of Ruggs' Corvette...The former first-round pick, considered a rising star in the league, was leading the team in receiving yards and tied for the lead in receiving touchdowns.

Him too apparently Corvettes are even safer than volvos. How the heck do you survive a 156 mph crash into a solid object?
The bereaved family will ask for the minimum sentence so Ruggs can go back to work as a football player and fork over 80% of his income each year to the survivors.
Meanwhile, I was looking up dram shop/host laws in Nevada when I ran across this...
Nevada gaming board OKs amendment regarding drug impairment
Looks like the state of Nevada worries far more about drunk gamblers than drunk drivers.
They look like instant de-capitation machines to me.
Pardon my cynicism, but Hillary (and her ilk) will be in prison before this guy.
A woke liberal judge will slap him with a stiff fine and “community service” to pay for his crime.
He was driving 156 miles per hour before the crash. His blood alcohol content was twice the limit. He’s a rich NFL player. He’s done.
No question his career is over. The rest remains to be seen.
Having spent many hours on the various German Autobahn’s, that speed is not necessarily dangerous. Nevada has some very straight and lightly traveled roads where high speed could be reasonably applied.
However, this guy was wasted. A blood alcohol level of 2.+ something. In Germany, that would get you jailed. High speed requires responsibility and attention.
“At 156 mph “
Wonder what the tach said at that speed.
It said "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
They are called the National Felon League for a reason.
>>A woke liberal judge will slap him with a stiff fine and “community service” to pay for his crime.
The witness reports of this poor girl screaming while she burned to death trapped in her car (with her dog) may just have something to say about that. At least I hope so.
Convict him, and string him up.
>>I thought there was no speed limit in Nevada.
You thought wrong.
Yeah, but this experience will help him turn his life around, until he does something similar again.
Maybe him and Alec Baldwin can share a cell.

He wont be working.....
bump
lol no he’s never going to play in the NFL ever again. He’ll be lucky to get out of jail in 15 years
It’s hard to fathom just how cruel life can be to a person. I don’t like living in a world where human beings can suffer so horribly.
You’re wrong. There is no relation
