Terrible 

 He was the type that always kept a great lawn religiously, along with the flower bed/landscaping. He ALWAYS(I think I beat him twice in over ten years)beat me mowing and I seen his grass was the tallest Id ever seen it. I just went over and cut it slowly. Talked to him a few days later and he told me the horrific news. Bunch of his 1st cousins, young nieces and nephews many of whom he'd never seen......The van not only got in a wreck but also caught fire along with other cars headed to the gathering. 

So it was heavy on his mind and this was a wwII vet whom was in the fight. He thanked me for mowing his lawn and I made sure to not mess up while taking extra time. I always removed limbs for his lawn and knew it was his baby. Did it once more and somehow he got back into swing of normal duties. He moved about year later, he still had 80% of his hair and was a solid 215 LBs.

Wouldn't the judge in DUI #8 bear some culpability? Ditto for DUI judge #7. It isn’t just her, I mean she has shown everyone what she is about; telling her no doesn’t work. 

That would depend on the law/requirements in the state of conviction.  At that point, I would think that mandatory sentencing should kick in.

My son in law was almost killed by a drunk driver. His friend walking down the sidewalk next to him was when a woman with 9 DUIs ran off the road. She had used her kid, who was in the car, to blow the breath meter to start it. Un-freaking-believable. Her family thought the punishment was harsh when she got 30 years. 

They thought it was harsh?

That's lenient to me, it should have been life.

If you have 9 DUIs (which in itself is just ABSURD, but won't get into that here) and use your child to get past the breathalyzer and end up killing someone, you don't deserve to be free again.

So a Vikings player is killed in a crash by a drunk driver, then 10 days later one of their players is arrested for a DUI because he was passed out asleep, behind the wheel, while on the LA freeway.

Wow, no words

If that wasn't one of their main players, he'd be cut immediately, but I'm sure they won't do that with his potential.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
