Good thing he's not on Lost, or else he'd be already dead.
If he's guilty: ASSHOLE.
I'm amazed that people still drink and drive. There's absolutely no need for that. Most cities have taxis that will take you home for no charge and if you do plan to drink can't you come up with a "get home" plan? Over the past year in our area several people have been killed by drunk drivers with the worst incident being a woman under the influence plowing into a crowd of people killing several. Now she gets to sober up with life in prison (I'm assuming-it hasn't gone to trial yet).

People think they can make a reasonable decision when they are drunk, they don't and this happens. It's never going to go away sadly, luckily for this situation no one was hurt.Steve said:
Though apparently he can pierce the most guarded buildings in Miami, but can't talk his way out of a sobriety test.
Joking aside, drunk driving is horrible, and yes celebrities are people too, but they're also incredibly rich people that can afford a taxi or 12

I hate when people say that they're better drivers when they're a certain level of drunk. That just proves to me that they're too far gone to drive. It's part of why I hate going to bars. I hate when everything closes down and i have to watch people stagger towards their cars. Thank God for checkpoints.

What they need is a network or sports team with a no-bs style, want to break the law you're off my damn network/team. That may straighten some people out. or take away drivers licenses for "nomal" folk on the first offense

Sounds good but money > morals for plenty of reasons. And they do take away peoples license and people still drive.CrimsonSoul said:
unfortunately you are right about money > morals, but maybe one day... maybe... 
If I knew anyone who said something like that, I would never ever go anywhere with them, no matter what their apparent level of sobriety, or whether or not they promise not to drink.Cajungal said:
I would also ask them at every opportunity to move to another city. Preferably Rapture. Or Paris.
I've heard that saying before, Cajun, but not from any friends of mine
It's enormously common and is stated as one of the problems of drunk driving, that people honestly think they're better drivers.Cajungal said:
I've never driven drunk enough to fail a Breathalyzer but I've driven tipsier than I should once or twice, and I've also driven lightly medicated. (Well, one time I was monumentally stoned, but that's another story and long before I was a patient or even ill.) For me it is by far harder to drive even tipsy. It's like I'm controlling someone else's body. Driving medicated or even stoned, I tend to slow down a bit, relax, and be more careful. Not that I will ever drive that stoned again; I'm just saying.
I have had Mr. ZM in the car with me to judge my driving while slightly medicated (just enough to clear my head so I CAN drive) and he gave me full marks, so at least I had someone else to verify that I do drive fine in that state, in case I have to at some point. But these days if I need to medicate in order to drive, I just don't drive, for the most part.
There was an accident here about a year ago. Dude crossed the median and wiped out a family. He walked away. Turned out he was a five-time loser (at least) on DUIs. He kept getting to plea bargain to lesser charges. Not this time. He's not getting out for a long, long time.
Fuck objective. Fuck fair. Fuck these guys. Celebrity or not, a lot of these guys deserve the George Carlin treatment... fired out of a cannon right into a brick wall. At least they'll know it's coming. More than they deserve.
