On the lighter side (and not to make light of the tragedy) Originally posted by fillhixx: A priceless moment that will live on. Whole new meaning to "Headbanger" ... I always use my head when partying. Ask around..... Tunes to play for Phil. Foreigner – Headknocker Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (Metal Health) Pat Travers - Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights) Santogold - Lights Out Dio - Rainbow in the dark Hank Williams - Saw The Light Simon and Garfunkel - By the Light.. and of course... Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By the Light (yes I know it's a Springsteen tune.. I like MM's version better) Seriously, though.. be careful out there. | ||

Joined: September 2006 Posts: 347 Location: Reno, NV | how does this work.. "four counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated" I can understand the four counts of 2nd degree murder as there were four victims, but how can you be charged for doing something in the same instance 4 times? Not like it really matters at this point, but just curious. | ||

And never, ever let anyone drive drunk. Most of the time nothing happens. But look at the risk. As to the question, the operative words are "causing death". Since there were four deaths, there are four charges. | ||

An automatic reading beyond a predeterined level by the device results in the vehicle ceasing to operate. The technology exists today to make this a reality, but there continues to be strong opposition from those who believe there are already too many rules interfering with the free exercise of personal liberties. If people can't or don't correct this continuing problem on their own, rest assured there will, someday, be a legislative solution. | ||
