Henry Ruggs, a 22-year-old wide receiver for the Las Vegas Raiders, killed a 23-year-old woman and her dog while drunk driving in the early hours of November 2nd.
Ruggs was driving his Corvette 156 mph before hitting the woman, Tina Tintor, and her dog Max. Following this severe impact, Tintor’s Toyota RAV4 burst into flames, leaving her trapped. Ruggs’ BAC was .161, twice the legal limit.
In a poor attempt to take the heat off their client, Ruggs’ attorneys are now trying to blame the slow response of the firefighters on Tintor’s death. A witness reportedly told the court that firefights were slow to extinguish the burning Toyota, saying “Firemen did not attempt to extinguish the fire at Ms. Tinto’s vehicle for approximately 20 minutes at which time the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames”.
Regardless of the firefighters’ response, Tintor was in the middle of a highway, trapped in a flaming car because of the negligence, recklessness, and blatant disregard for human life by Ruggs.
Notice how every one of Satan’s animals running sick in the world has to come up with a stupid defense?
The death penalty would be good enough for this POS
So, what does Kaepernick think about this?
If he’s not back on the field it won’t be because of the multiple homicide he committed, it’ll be because, going into the fourth year of Covhysteria at that time, he “tested positive”.
That’s racist. /S
‘If the RAV 4 Toyota was one of the electric versions, it may have been very hard to put the fire out.”
It wasn’t.
“I see this story is on Gateway Pundit. Read by dozens of people around the world! Anybody else reporting this?”
This is like OLD! Where have you been?
Too lazy to Google?
He needs to get with Alec Baldwin to compare notes on how to commit murder.
Oh yeah…the firefighter’s fault….pos
This is just good lawyering planting seeds of doubt.
What was his excuse for driving that fast?

It’s been on network news
STANDARD defense lawyer tactic, spread the doubt and focus attention elsewhere! Me, if the quote of 156mph and BAC is correct, he SHOULD BE TOAST! He crashed her vehicle, frame damage extreme. You cannot use extrication tools effectively if car is being doused in foam so a spectator's opinion is just a lawyer's talking point!.
give him 100 years in prison.
Just when he was getting his life straightened out and this unfortunate accident happened/(mega sarc)
typical RAT, nothing is EVER their fault...
Ruggs’ lawyers have a point. As a matter of public safety, a police car, ambulance and fire truck should probably tail every NFL player on the highways. At the players’ expense.
He’s an Africa American athlete so he will most likely get by with a slap on the wrist.
