Lynch DUI case resolved - Knocked down to Reckless Driving

[AbsolutNET]

You don't sound like a very fun person to be around.

Being over or under .08 is just a number for the purpose of law. He is still considered drunk if it .08 or less. It doesn't mean that when your over the limit you'd cause an accident and if your less than the limit you wont. It's a moral issue. If one drink whatever amount, they shouldn't get behind the wheel and put others lives at risk.

So if someone drives within the limits of the law they are a scumbag? Seems rather harsh, but if that's your opinion, I'm not going to try to change it. I just absolutely don't agree with it and I won't lump Lynch in as a scum bag for it

I didn't see where anyone called him a scumbag. But he indeed did break the law, which is why he pleaded to a reckless as opposed to innocent and tried to fight it.

DUI reduced to Reckless = opposite of "within the law."

You can go back through the thread and find where he wrote it, but seadoc's exact words were:

I don't care if it's Lynch or anyone else. DUI kills hundreds if not thousands every year and these scumbags get away with it so easily. This is the only dark spot in our justice system.. we need to treat these people who drive drunk to be put in the same categories as murders and terrorists and make sure they never see the day light outside the jail walls!

He has the right to feel however he feels about drinking and driving, but I think he's gone a bit overboard (putting it mildly) in his post and felt that it needed responding to.

seadoc30 thinks Marshawn Lynch is a terrorist.

Jackass, I never said that.. I said people who DUI and have caused harm to anyone should be treated as murderers and terrorist.

He's not a terrorist... he should just be treated like one. :th2thumbs:

Give it a rest already. Without any video evidence (one of the inherent weaknesses of this case), there is no proof Marshawn was even "weaving between the lines". He was pulled over for allegedly weaving between the lines.

I understand why you are spun up about .08, but I disagree with your reasons. Reducing the limit from .10 to .08 was roughly similar to reducing the speed limit from 70 to 55. Is it safer? Probably. But at the end of the day, it is an arbitrary number. And a limit is supposed to be a limit. If I am doing 70 in a 70 zone, I am at the limit and I am not breaking the law. Your insistence that people above or below .08 are drunk sounds very much like the people who insisted the 55 limit was necessary for safety.

If you had read from multiple sources about the incident in Buffalo, you would know it was more a case of the drunk pedestrian running into Marshawn's car rather than the other way around. And the person wasn't anywhere close to "nearly killed".

If you want to go on a crusade about .08 offenders, go ahead. But you don't get to make up your own facts to do it.

Listen I understand what your saying.. you make a point. Thanks.

I didn't come here to get into arguments.. I was just stating my point that Driving after drinking, even if it's under the limit doesn't mean your good to go. I was under the assumption that any person with moral values would understand that. But there are some really immature individuals here accusing me of being a 49er fan and calling Lynch a terrorist. SMH.

Uhm, You are the immature individual that associated Marshawn with terrorists. Did you blackout post?

So seadoc30 thinks Marshawn Lynch should be sent to Guantanamo Bay? Or that the military should coordinate a drone strike on him?

Proceeds to argue with everybody.

The fact that you would even equate a drunk driver with a terrorist is beyond silly. Go post that opinion on a Giants/Jets forum and see what kind of reception you get.

The funny thing about "moral values" is that they are subjective and open to interpretation which in turn diminishes their value.

No no, he amended it to "DUI who harms anyone" so his entire priinciple doesn't even apply to Lynch. HE's arguing with everyone about something that doesn't even exist.

I can understand your stance based on your forum name. Anyhow, I don't care of the method of how an innocent person is harmed/killed. If it's from a gun or a bomb or drugs or a drunk driver, it all the same to me. They are all deadly criminals.

Listen i not saying this for the sake of an argument. I personally know families who have lost someone because of a DUI driver. It's not silly matter to them!

Well, apparently our legal system disagrees with you seeing as how there are a number of charges in between misdemeanor assault and capital murder. Feel free to group everyone into one bucket though. Shortcuts to thinking are always easier.
