Ya shows yer dumbness, ya takes yer lumps.
Hope it’s 40 miles long.
He should die if he set about trying to kill four people. His depraved indifference is worth a long stretch in jail.
Agree. Hope his mom received good money for the car and that the insurance covered the damage to the light pole.
The State of Alabama will throw the book at you if you are caught DUI.
I don’t care whether the kid has money or not. This was an injustice to the victims. Wouldn’t you be happier on a liberal website?
I will agree to that.
“neither of you need ever address me again unless you apologize first”
Oh for God’s sake put on your big girl panties and stop acting like little thin skinned barry sotero already.
There are plenty of people who have gone to jail impaired or not for vehicular manslaughter. Then there are the underage drinking and shoplifting laws he broke too. You choose to ignore ALL of those facts and give him a taxpayer funded trip to a resort.
As what has been pointed out, if it were Billy Joe Bob Toothless living in a single wide he’d have the book thrown at him for his actions.
yes, this is how communities end up stoning adulterers
anyway, they can all kma
NO! Parts of trees are used, the scrap parts, the bark and the saw dust.
And a good thing too. This kid was on track to be a multi repeat offender.
Who knows how many innocent victims didn’t die because some judge had the huevos to do the right thing in spite of the money this kid’s family had.
Justice is portrayed as blind. ‘Affluenza’ picks up that blindfold and tosses it in the garbage.
Why limit the killing instrument to a truck? Affluenza can cross all weapon lines.
“Your Honor, my client shot those 86 innocent schoolchildren because his parents never told him no.”
“Okay, we’ll overlook this little contretemps this time. But the court cautions your client that it will begin to consider taking a dim view if these things continue, unless he can get some help.”
That family has sure done a lot of suffering on account of being so rich.
I think this whole story is a red herring by the left to get us stirred up.
Affuenza in the kid.
Influenca in the judge caused by a massive injection of cold cash in his bank account.
sigh
as I already said, no I haven’t killed anyone by any fashion
nor do I have any duis
nor any kids who are alcoholics
I am not condoning anything
I am explaining to the excitable what happened in court, the whole picture
1) he’s underage
2) it’s not a pattern—yet
3) the insurance paid the damages
4) he was impaired so he couldn’t form the requisite intent—murder is a specific intent crime
5) his money had nothing to do with it
6) his parents didn’t tell him to drink and drive
but if all a y’all want to scream and get red in the face and call me names, go for it
but it makes no difference
>> 1) hes underage
So it’s OK for him to kill people.
>> 2) its not a patternyet
Kill people one or two times, A-OK. But after that second time, hoooo boy, look out, you might get a stern lecture or maybe your X-Box taken away!
>> 3) the insurance paid the damages
I’m sure am glad that insurance brought those people back to life.
>> 4) he was impaired so he couldnt form the requisite intentmurder is a specific intent crime
Wow, you’re right dude, the law doesn’t cover killing people when you’re stupid drunk behind the wheel. Especially in Texas...
...except for that whole second degree felony called “intoxication manslaughter that carries a 2 to 20 year sentence.
DERP!
>> 5) his money had nothing to do with it
Yeah dude, that judge totally didn’t buy the defense psychologist saying “He never learned that sometimes you dont get your way. He had the cars and he had the money. He had freedoms that no young man would be able to handle.”
He really stuck it to that poor little 16-year-old boy. I heard the teddy bear dropped right out of his hand and the pacifier fell right out of his mouth when he heard the court decision.
>> 6) his parents didnt tell him to drink and drive
Whoa, what? Dude, look out. That’s pretty close to saying he should be personally responsible, and take his lumps like a man. People are going to think you’re a Rethuglican reichwinger teabagger, man. You don’t want to go there, you’d be throwing away all the respect from your DU homies.
Sounds like a modern day twinkie defense.
