"Blocking traffic" is a pretty benign way of putting "Passed out drunk on a freeway"

I kinda suspect a discussion on the 'logic' would be lost on you...

I did. And thank you much for being Johnny on the spot to catch my mistake within 2 seconds. :D

The response was meant for this post:

Really, did he send anyone to the emergency room? Logic boy?

Agree to disagree. I think the number of offenses in recent years and the tragedies that have happened to both innocent players and normal everyday people makes them drop the hammer harder.

I guess I don't understand how being passed out at a traffic light is the same as causing an accident, disruption of hundreds of lives, also blocking a major travel system, sending people to the hospital then leaving the scene is less benign then passing out at the wheel.

Both are dumb as a bag of hammers but one is far more consequential to innocent people than the other. The only thing in common is that they both interrupted people's lives.

I'll leave it up to the jury to decide which is worse.

Causing a wreck from going fast (and it was his friend that actually caused it) vs being so goddam hammered that you are sleeping on a highway are indeed two different things entirely.

I'm not really interested in arguing about it but yeah I do in fact think being shithoused and parked on the highway is in fact a worse thing

I don’t think the jury will care. They will think he was drunk because he ran away.

So no need to fight.

What time was the arrest? Genuinely asking. Passing out due to severe day drinking in rush hour traffic and passing out at 2 in the morning after a couple beers at the bar are both very stupid things to do, but the optics are far worse for the first.

Otter doesn’t believe in attempted murder either. Results matter, nothing else!

How many cars do you think were behind Rice that couldn't get to where they were going?

How do you think the people whose vehicles he and his buddy wrecked got to work the next day or went to the store or got to visit their parents?

One guy blocked traffic the other did much more.

I get he's a Chief but this is apples and oranges. As I mentioned their both stupid but let's use some uncompressed reasoning no matter what uniforms they wear.

Friday at 11pm. I'm not sure what to glean out of that though. I also don't know if he was going to or coming from the airport.

Or technically if he was going to the airport at all but that stretch of the highway has to be like 99% airport people.

Care to enunciate how you came to that conclusion? Swami.

Tell you what, I'm tapping out because I don't have a crystal ball like you guys and try not to make stuff up.

Have fun.

He had to drive drunk to get where he was and being parked in the middle of a freeway can cause accidents .

I doubt a jury ever hears either case.

Plea to what tho?

Texas started the hit and run law to prevent people from avoiding DUIs by running. They will have God knows how much evidence that he was drinking and there will be countless timestamps of his car from the venue to the crash.

Too much publicity to go light.
