Twenty-two years old from Montgomery Alabama, finally making it to the big show with a sixteen-million dollar contract and a custom corvette……what could go wrong?

[Rummyfan]

He won’t go to prison. Nothing will happen to him.

Oh, I believe he is going to prison.

[Scarpetta]

I have a seatbelt cutter clipped to my sunvisor. I wish this poor girl and her Golden Retriever had one too.

Unfortunately I got near an accident right after a drunk driver hit a p/u head on, I was too far away to help, saw it from freeway overpass, no way to get there fast. the car caught fire immediately, the poor driver tried to get out I could see him trying to get out then he just slumped down and died, over in less than a minute. horrible, the smell was unforgettable. I can still see him clawing at the window trying to get out. some things you never forget.

Saw another where a drunk ran into back of flatbed and decapitated passenger..then a freak one got there just after, a car went around a curve in slow residential area, guy in back seat head went out the window a little just as a van coming from the other way hit him in the head, died immediately..

then there was the rolled new mercedes sedan, owners young son took his girlfriend for a drive, rolled it at high speed going downhill, it stopped when it hit a culvert, both came out fine, car looked like a crushed can, if it wasn't a mercedes probably both would have been fatal...his girlfriend broke her ankle on impact, that was it, saw many more those stick out....

[VideoDoctor]

How could he crash at 156 mph and walk away?

Apparently GOD has other PLANS in store for him.

[bdfromlv]

we paid 88 million to the murdered people in the 2015 Charleston SC racist attack

[Lucky2]

He needs to drive that car over a cliff at 125 miles an hour.

[gathersnomoss]

Chump change...

[dragnet2]

Hope he gets 20 years.

[rbg81]

He should get life, no parole.

---

Yeah, he should. But my bet is he will walk.
Cue a sob story on this guy’s life from the NY Times.

I can see his Cochran Group defense on “unintended acceleration”

If the gas pedal sticks
You must acquit.

[VTenigma]

As a former EMT and ambulance worker I will tell you she was most likely unconscious, the dog most likely perished from the impact. She may have also perished as a rear impact of that velocity more than likely severed her cervical spine. Air bags have no effect in a rear collision of that nature. Her body accelerated and her head did not. He and his girl survived because of front crush zones and air bags.

[Mean Daddy]

I think of all the crazy, stupid stuff I did when I was young and when you add alcohol to the equation, the trouble just gets compounded.

Talking about what they went through has to help to keep the accident from taking over their lives.

[lewislynn]

Aside from any legal penalties, I hope he relives that woman and her dog screaming for help the rest of his life.

That would be a fate worse than death for anyone with a conscience.

[rktman]

Always! 🔪

I believe he's going to prison as well and his short-lived NFL career is over as well. This sort of reminds me of the Aaron Hernandez situation up in New England. Many thought he would skate and return to the NFL in a few years. They were wrong and Hernandez offed himself in prison, mainly because he realized that he had it all - vast riches, fame and privilege - and now would spend the rest of his life in a prison cell.

I don't know much about Ruggs but he was just 22 years old and had signed a contract close to $200 million. It boggles my mind that a football player could command that much money in his first year of pro football.

Too much too soon in my opinion. The kid wasn't prepared to handle that kind of money as evidenced by his tricked out car with bells and whistles that only an immature high school kid would bother with - I mean, "kandy" painted brakes! Who thinks up that stuff except some overgrown kid? And a car that goes 200 m.p.h. on city streets - that's just irresponsible at any age.

Ruggs is going to end up having his name mentioned in NFL rookie camps for the next 20 years at least - as in, "Smarten up kid, you don't want to end up like another Ruggs."

I carry a Hijacker 1000 most of the time

[setter]

No, she was alive and talking to the people trying to get her out if the car.when the flames got close she starting screaming in pain.

The guy who tried to get her out gave a full account.

Joe Biden said he could teach that colored boy how to drive a vett
