Re: Willie Snead Suspended First 3 Games
This doesnt change my opinion. Im still a fan of Snead.
Somebody was drinking in Louisiana. Alert the Media. This wont be a popular opinion, but I think this whole MADD thing has gone too far. Its too severe, and it takes too little to draw a flag. Blanket zero tolerance policies always bring unintended consequences. Its lazy, knee jerk justice. As far as Im concerned, drunk drivers are no worse than stupid drivers, and everyone on the road around me is, in my expectation, stupid. Therefore I approach all other drivers as if they are stupid. Because they are. This has kept me from having a single wreck, in 40 years of driving. Doesnt matter to me if they're drunk, stupid, or texting. Im gonna put the hammer down, and put them in my rear-view mirror. The secret to highway safety is DRIVE FASTER. They just dont want to tell you that, because if word gets out, they wont be able to hold their radar roadside fund-raisers. People in Germany know this fact, but they want their Auto-Bahn to themselves. HAUL AZZ, and the stupid, drunk, and textors will be in your past. The difference between drunk driver and texting drivers is that drunk drivers are looking at the road. FREE WILLIE ! |

However, I do totally agree for the most part on the faster. Leave the idiots in your rear view and do your damnest not to be a sitting target for them. |

I would be in favor of increasing the BAC number, but then adding to the penalty for anyone who violates it. Point 2- Snead's dumbass move might have cost him a couple of million. It's 2017: friends, cabs, Uber, asst. coaches... just f***ing call someone. He screws up his livelihood bc of a few beers? Stupid. |

Or the Innocent people driving through an intersection that get t-boned by a drunk that was too wasted to stop at a stop light. ![]()
Until you've done CPR on a child while his mom is unconscious and bleeding because some ******* decided to get wasted and drive, you don't know the real impact of drunk drivers. |

I have no time or remorse for a drunk driver, absolutely sickens me. |
