Right up there with my favorite: the Harvey Milk/Dan White 'twinkie' defense in San Francisco!:down:

My defense will be that it was Wilson's fault which in turn was Harding's fault which in turn was Coolidge's fault which in turn was Hoover's fault which in turn was Roosevelt's fault which in turn was Truman's fault which in turn was Eisenhower's fault which in turn was Kennedy's fault which in turn was Nixon's fault which in turn was Ford's fault(only partly because he never got elected to office) which in turn was Carter's fault which in turn was Regan's fault which in turn was Bush's fault which in turn was Clinton's fault which in turn was Bush's fault(son not the father) which in turn it is Obama's fault that I ate too any Twinkies and beat the crap out of the kid that got off for having Affluenza.

:har:
Who are you? And what did you do with Bubblehead?!!!

This can't be the same person that wanted to hang the illegal Honduran by his thumbs! :D

Completely different case, the Honduran who crashed into us is an illegal immigrant, with no right to even be present in the united states nor was he a 16 year old kid. Sure, not happy he had been drinking and I never said hang him by his thumbs or any crazy punishment.I want him punished according to the law for his crimes, which means needs to be punished for the DUI crash, then deported after serving sentence.

Gawd!

Drunk drivers never intend to hurt anyone, so should we not punish any of them?

If "revenge" or "punishment" is such a failure, do you think we should close the prisons and let the inmates go?

I think there should be consequences for crimes, and it this case some prison time is called for.

I'm not surprised that some defense attorneys would try to peddle that nonsense, but I find it truly alarming that a judge would fall for such garbage. :nope:

His rehab is like a 5 star hotel on the beach. Just a case if you have money, you can get rehab while others go to prison. If he got rehab, it should've been working a soup kitchen and sleeping on a cot. Sure he'll leave rehab feeling more entitled and will kill someone else down the road...

The only message this sends, the more spoiled you are, the more entitled you become and can get away with murder.

I don't know...I think Tribesman will be here shortly to exploit this gaffe.

Your poor illegal Honduran is sitting in jail. How old is he?
This rich kid killed four people! That's four lives terminated, gone forever. He's free.
All the Honduran did differently was enter the country illegally and NOT kill four people.

Are you therefore saying that entering the country illegally is worse than killing four people?

You've forgotten that the rich kid is rich and the Honduran is most likely not. But don't more importantly the key issue is that it was bubbles girlfriend's car that got slightly damaged so that demands punishment. /sarcasm /parody

No, I think you and Tarjak have it thoroughly nailed down already:up:

More seriously, what happens in Texas with victims compensation? Do the families of the dead have to run a civil claim or does the State look after that? I'm interested in the jurisdictional differences. Id assume that would have a civil suit given there was an offence recorded.

I'm getting a strong sense of double standards and a fair amount of hypocrisy here.

no hypocrisy, drink driving laws are unfair, unjust and are only a money racket:woot:

See, what we need is a President that will turn all these FEMA death camps into illegal immigrant death camps, and then repeal all the Obamacare laws so that only the rich can live. Then things will be better. :yep:

He will remember what he did for the rest of his life. I hope he has a long one.

Finally, someone who sees the light. :yep:
:O:

But seriously, I do not understand some judges decisions. This judgement is horrible.
