I hope you all are as self-introspective and self-critical as you are of others

So you’re cool with drunk driving?

There is some validity in what you say, but our society's tolerance of

I don't see a tolerance at all.

Just because LDS don't drink it makes it okay to condemn it.

If a tougher penalty deterred more people from DUI, that would be a very good

I am not arguing in favor of drunk driving, but people do it because they are

Archaea

I, for one, am as critical of reckless drivers as I am drunk drivers. Like that Henry Ruggs character. I don't let him

I agree with most of what you said. Especially as a role model and leader.

Wanting someone who chose to drive drunk to get more than a one-game slap on the

rivercitycoug

11/14/21 6:39pm

Agreed. He will pay a price. How much is enough?

Archaea

11/14/21 6:40pm

Yeah, missing a game against Dixie State isn't much of a price to pay though

acougfan

11/14/21 6:44pm

You think that's the only price he paid?

Archaea

11/14/21 7:01pm

How much of a fine? Honestly asking.

11/14/21 7:03pm

I'd have to look it up in Washington but I wager he paid his attorney between

Archaea

Here are a list of the fines in Washington: 990.50 to $5000.00 for first offense

Archaea

11/14/21 7:07pm

“Up to $1,000 fine” is soooo weak. That’s not even a stern look let alone a slap

Reasonable1

11/14/21 8:19pm

What is the fine for reckless driving where nobody is injured?

What a terrible analogy.

TheRowdy

11/14/21 6:52pm

Wow. I don’t want another suspension so I’ll just say wow.

Come on, don't be a wimp

Gustav

I wish we had stricter laws on it.

DieHarder

11/14/21 6:48pm

Now imagine if someone were speeding AND drunk. Few was both.

Reasonable1

11/14/21 6:57pm

My only complaint with the Few DUI is the he got special treatment that you & I

Lifi

11/14/21 7:08pm

It's that way in life. High profile and rich persons get better treatment than

Archaea

11/14/21 7:10pm

I would agree with your views (I didn't look at appication of the law)

TheRowdy

11/14/21 7:16pm

Do we know that he got special treatment?

Archaea

11/14/21 7:17pm

Yup, he did.

Lifi

11/14/21 7:20pm

Well that is the fault of the local officers then. I doubt his fine was

Archaea

11/14/21 7:22pm

Unequal application of the law is a big deal in my book. Fine notwithstanding

Lifi

11/14/21 7:26pm

A big deal but it happens all the time and will continue to happen. Not Few's

Archaea

11/14/21 7:29pm

Here are the penalties (link)

Archaea

11/14/21 7:18pm

The DUI was in Idaho

Lifi

11/14/21 7:27pm

Penalties are less in Idaho: here's a link.

Archaea

11/14/21 7:31pm

I am. If I drive drunk, punish me the same exact way that I think others that

Acorn

I wager Few will never drive drunk again.

You know you are on CB right? Those are foreign concepts to many here.
