Well, you raise an interesting point. Why not hold lawyers and judges responsible for their decisions? Judge lets some thug off time and time again, and that thug then goes on to kill someone, why not punish the judge? Why not charge the lawyer, or even our darling States Attorney, with manslaughter?

This #######'s family is all over the place, whining about how terrible he feels and how mean we are for picking on him. :bawl: :rolleyes: Personally, I'd throw their asses in prison, too, because they are clearly part of the problem.

All in my opinion, of course.

I'd be on board with this, but I'll bet there's some provision in their charter or whatever that isolates them from just this. If we could punish the judges for their decisions, we wouldn't have any judges sitting on the bench.

It's not the cops - it's the lawyers and judges that don't keep these people locked up after their first offense. Or even after their second, third or fourth.

:dingding:

Hallelujah, sistah, everybody keeps blaming the police depts. over these situations. Police keep locking up the same people, the court system keeps letting them go.

Also agree with your other post Vrai along with BG start holding the judges accountable for repeat offenders. Once ok, twice maybe, third time they should be thrown out

Funny, I looked at the stretch in Google Maps, to reaffirm my thought that someone who was not actively steering could not navigate that mile of pavement, and no, you need to steer to make it that far.

Good point. How about we string them up, too, when someone they let loose kills an innocent person?

This does make sense as a bar can be charged if they "over serve" a patron. Why can't judges and lawyers be held accountable for being responsible for putting someone back on the streets and they commit another crime or atrocity? Why can't they be held liable for damages/compensation to the victims?

Because as previously stated, judges are civil servants. Hold them accountable and there will be a sudden shortage of judges, like all of them. What would be next? Holding members of a jury responsible for the people they find guilty/innocent?

If that jacka** had a known history of diabetes, to the extent that it caused him to go into some kind of shock or whatever event they want to sugar-coat it, than he NEVER should have been driving AT ALL, ANY TIME, NO WAY.

He should have done the right thing and refused to drive ever. That he knew he had this diabetes predisposition, and that he continued to drive and ignore his past health issues, just makes him an murderer...nothing less.

Every time he got in the car and drove, he was putting the lives of every other driver and passenger on the road in danger.

If his family is covering up for him, then they are a bunch of jacka**es, too. Who in their right mind would try to make excuses for this kind of horrific - AND PREVENTABLE - accident?

:yay: Diabetics drive all the time without smashing into other cars and killing people. In fact, most diabetics take care of their illness and lead normal lives. So the fambly using this as an excuse is pure bull####.

If his body had locked up, it's unlikely he'd have stayed on the road for a mile and a half.

Grrrr.....


(And yes, I realize Seabreeze is quoting one of the comments, not stating her opinion.)
:yeahthat:
If the first incident/complaint happened at the Indian Bridge rd intersection he would have to had to stay on the road erratically for over 2.89 miles. :shrug:
If he passed on the yellow double line at the light @ Callaway he would have had to been aware of cars in his way and was able to leave his driving lane then to pass them.
According to the discussion in the headline news, he was alert enough to flip people off for slowing him down. :whistle:
Is that something someone in the diabetic shock does? :lol:

I don't care what his family says, in my opinion it sure sounds like he is trying to use the diabetic coma thing as an excuse vs being negligent. :whistle:

Where is his family saying it was a diabetic coma?


That just doesnt seem logical? I mean you can go into a diabetic coma and drive completely straight for nearly 2 miles?

but that part of the road is not even straight! ... If he drove straight he would have left the roadway at the top of the hill at the church.

It sucks that people will use any tragedy to their benefit. I was approched last night in the Sheetz from a group claiming to be family of Ms. Proctor. Saw me inside with my money in my hand waiting in line and wanted money from me. Then she wanted a ride. NOT. I couldn't believe the people working there inside were letting her come up to customers in line asking them for money and they did nothing. Paid no attention to what was going on. I'm sure they had to overheard her telling me she needed my money, but they ignored it. I felt threatened, so I gave her money. :cds: Didn't want it to escalate, and obviously the employees were of no assistance to me. Then she followed me to the parking lot. I jumped in my vehicle and locked the doors. She then started going from car to car beating on windows asking for money. I had to call the cops. :whistle:

Lets take a moment and talk about possible course of action were you to find yourself in a car you cannot slow down, be it stuck gas pedal, act of god, whatever.

Waiting til your at 90mph to do something, that's a bad idea. Once you cross 30mph or so, its a good time to "pick the best crash your gonna get". Its most likely not gonna get any better the faster you go. Empty building, ditch, parked empty car/s, heck, even open fields where you can put the damn thing into a continual drifting donut.

Point is, DO SOMETHING. Waiting for divine intervention to save you is NOT a plan, thats a prayer.
