      retirement seems like it can be depressing sometimes. the only person i ever cut off as a bartender was an old man slamming double vodkas in the morning

    Morris-Jones was arrested and charged with death by vehicle, seven counts of serious injury by vehicle, eight counts of hit and run, driving while impaired, reckless driving and driving left of center, according to the Highway Patrol. He was being held in the Wake County Detention Center on $1 million bail.

    Justice would be that he’s going to jail, he drove drunk and killed someone. Maybe “Impairment” means a med he was on, in that case in my mind it only effects the length of the jail sentence. Everyone else knows how to call an uber or taxi, he’s only 7 miles south of Raleigh, there’s no excuses here.

    Of course, the court will probably fine him $50 and let him keep his license another 20 years. Just wag your finger and say “Better not do it again!”

      FYI to all the car-brain fuckers out there. Just because your meds are legal prescriptions doesn’t mean you’re good to drive while you’re on them! You’re still doing a DUI.

        To be clear I completely agree with that, that’s like the smallest benefit of the doubt that maybe he didn’t understand, but it’s a goddamn slim one.

        When they say “Do not operate heavy machinery” they mean DO NOT FUCKING DRIVE. A 2,000+ vehicle is heavy machinery
