That is a dam shame. I hope they catch him. Wont bring the couple he killed back, but I do hope they punish him severely.

My father in law had a run in with a hit and run driver on his bike last year. Luckily he was fine other than some road rash. the a$$hole changed lanes and took out his front wheel. I guess he got the last laugh when he cracked the guys rear window with his helmet as he was speeding away tho. All this happened in front of an off duty cop. dont know if they ever caught the guy. Punishment for these kinds of things should be to put them on a tricycle and push them across a busy interstate. That would teach them.

We are more civilized now. If he was caught running away we would hold him till the law caught up to him. Maybe bruised and bloody but not to much worse for wear.

Not good, feel bad for that rider and his passenger, just minding their business, and some punk in a stolen car takes them out. Bad thing is they may not find this loser because the car was stolen. This sort of thing seems to be happening more often these days.

There is no punishment that can be done to such a low life , that is bad enough to fit his crime!

I would have been going over the Hat at about that time if I hadn't have been held up further up island...kinda glad I was....as for punishment....that's a laughable joke with our rediculous justice system......only if WE caught the phuker would justice be done.

With such an excellent photo of him, he'll be picked up in no time. Even in Texas, some bad guys get off with a slap of the wrist, and others get the book thrown at them...it always boils down to whether or not you have good lawyer ($$), and what kind of judge/jury you get. Think O.J. Simpson.

Young guy (23) just got the max (20 years) for killing a girl in a DUI on the Tollway here in Dallas. I have to assume, the only reason he got the max was because, despite his testimony regarding his "extreme remorse" over his poor judgment in getting into his car, falling-down drunk, and killing an innocent woman - he got picked up on another DUI while awaiting trial! There are just so many things wrong with that, I can't even go there!!

Anyway, I hope the guy gets picked up soon and that justice is served! My guess is, he'll be in more trouble because of the stolen car and running from the scene, than killing the 2 bikers.

30 years, and cut off someone's *****... and even that would be too nice of a penalty!
