Another one of our own passed... Stovebolt48

.....and the utterly senseless carnage continues!

What is so difficult about keeping these drunk drivers in prison and stop them from killing our kids? DWI should be a felony the first time they get caught and a murder or attempted murder charge the 2nd time.

R.I.P., Nelson. May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead..........

 

really sad RIP

AAA has that thing where you call them and they tow your vehicle and give you a ride home for free.

 

My heart goes out to his family. God speed.

I've known far too many people that have been killed by drunk or drugged drivers. Yet, these people get very lenient sentences, compared to when a murder occurs with a gun, knife, or bat. When someone dies because of the actions of a drunk, then DUI IS murder, and should be treated by the law and society as such. Drunkenness is not a "disease", it's a character flaw of weak-willed people that use the bottle as an excuse for what they are. I have known plenty of damn drunks, too. Throw the book at the bastard!

My condolences to Stovebolt's family and friends. God bless you.

 

Happens all too often. Very sad. Please Lord, bless Stovebolt's family...help them through their grief. Bless Stovelbolt's soul.
