I'm meaning that in the way of "now it's your turn" etc. Saying that Gators are now on the hot seat and acting that our scenario is on the back burner isn't sufficient. DUI isn't Armed Robbery.
IMO opinion its nearly as bad. The reason for DUI laws is that you put yourself and more importantly others in danger of serious injury or death.
What our guys did was Grade A stupid and they deserved the punishment they got
but don't diminish a DUI, it is just as dangerouse
It has the same potential for a bad outcome, yes. But its not viewed by the law with the same disdain due to lack of intent.
I personally don't care about that since he was so idiotic to have done this, and especially when he did. He ought to be suspended for the game purely for the horrendous lack of judgment.
Agreed. It could have been much worseI am hearing he will be suspended for at least the SEC Championship Game. I would not have a problem with him being suspended for the rest of the year. No need to deal with this crap. This is why i told gators to not revel in UT's problems with the law because sooner or later we will be dealing with as well because these are kids and they make mistakes. The only good thing about any of this is that nobody got hurt or even killed because of Carlos's stupidity.
how many of you could have gotten duis in your life (particurally in college) if you got unlucky? just saying
How many of you have gotten so obliterated that you fell asleep in your car, with it running, at a stoplight?
I realize the insidious nature of drinking and driving in that it is the nature of the beast that it both impairs your judgment and your ability to recognize that you are impaired. But if you are at the point that you are driving and passing out, I think that's so far past the tipping point as to be really outrageous.
Still, I get your point.
