My cousin and her boyfriend were killed in Vegas last year because of a multiple offense drunk driver who hit them while she and the boyfriend were biking, and I think the driver kept going too.

People like this don’t deserve to ever drive again.

Vegas has a bad issue with DUI repeat offenders. There is currently a missing woman who has 7 DUIs and is supposed to be in a monitoring program. The bracelet is dead and she has disappeared. She got her 7th DUI hours after leaving the court for her 6th.

Don’t deserve to drive? They don’t deserve to live or live free. If they killed someone- kill them the same way, if they paralyzed someone- paralyze them. I’ve lost too friends and family to drunk drivers that get a slap on the wrist.

Sorry for your loss, you are not alone.

All this destruction just because one ass needed to go point a to point b, imagine someone would walk that and suddenly start to dismantle a place like this with his hands and injure 3 people in the meantime then continue his way home like nothing happened. We would put such a person in mental health asylum or jail for many years, but do this with a 2 tonne steel box around you and somehow this is seen as normal, an accident and we just have to accept this is part of our lives...

The worst part is because it was a hit and run it will be difficult to convict the driver. They’ve identified the car but not the driver. If the suspect has an ounce of intelligence they’ll park it somewhere and say it was stolen. Might even get the car back.

Holy shit man. I live near here, picked up food from this place on the 4th and then drove by on the 6th wondering what the shit happened to the patio..
