Riders get hit and killed, but I've been following this local story since the accident near my home on April 7th. This rider was killed by an intoxicated driver that was also on the phone. What's sad and odd is that the rider's wife and daughter were also killed by a drunk two years ago.

The update today is that charges were finally filed. Probably a plea deal that will result in minimal time.

As long as there is alcohol and cars, people are gonna get killed. Drunk drivers are an ignorant buncha selfish ******** and should be treated/prosecuted as such! Plea deals are complete BS in these cases because that's not gonna change a damn thing in a drunk's mind.

 

And, come to Maryville Tennessee and visit a local motorcycle bar. Some of the riders drink to the point of sloppy drunk. They get on their bikes and drive away. Their "friends" call them Bro and let them ride.

 

I dislike people that get drunk and drive. We see them locked up here On long Island often.
But can't tell you how many dozens of "OH I did not see him drivers " walk away with out even a failure to yield ticket. Leaving a DEAD or injured Biker

 

Statistics on:

1. Drunk cagers who kill sober bikers?
2. Drunk bikers who are killed on the road because of their inebriation?

 

for every drunk driver there are 20 idiots driving while texting or with a cell phone stuck in their ear. Just as dangerous!

 

Could be ,, but first degree involuntary man slaughter is a very serious charge and under the right/wrong conditions you will wind up in the can for a very long time . Anyhow what a sad story , a whole family killed by drunk drivers . Incredible .

 

They should pass a law making it illegal to drink and drive, that'll surely stop it. I mean hey, they say it works for gun control laws

 

And let's not forget how those severe drug laws have stopped the influx of drugs in America.

While you're at it, let's outlaw hookers! [/sarcasm]
