I just don't understand. We have Lyft, Uber's, taxi's and other options out here now, how/why are people still drinking and driving? I know some people are "fine" after having a few drinks. But is it worth it? Get a DD if you don't want to leave your vehicle somewhere over night. Find an alternative! You are literally risking other lives, as well as your own!

EDIT: Meant to say this before posting, but also at work and was distracted. May that person rest in peace.

You don’t need to publicly say the rip part. Are you running for office?

Just wow. Doesn't the NFL have a car service for this exact scenario (not that he needs that with Uber)? I just don't know how ANYONE, let alone millionaires, do this ****.

$60 bucks and a limo service takes you anywhere in Vegas! No excuses
 
Minimum sentence for DUI resulting in death in LV is 2-20 years. No probation, prison time is mandatory.

What an extraordinarily dumb decision by Ruggs. Not only is his career over, his life is over

What possible charges would you want for Alec Baldwin? He was on a movie set shooting, so he was told by the team, a prop gun.

That's a tragic situation but absolutely not on him.

a prop gun.... lol..

100% on him. but not gonna waste time explaining myself other than who points a gun at someone and pulls the trigger as if they were playing?

he will probably be charged with some type of negligent homicide, negotiated down to a lesser charge and sued to oblivion in civil court.

Yeah, he’s 100% in cuffs at some point if his name isn’t Baldwin. Anyone who handles guns knows this. It’s a really sad story, one that should never occur.

My man, I am more than likely alot older than you. And yes, I got a DUI at 21 years old. And yes, I was young and dumb at the time when I did. Hes 22 years old. Sending him to jail for life and throwing away the key is what I know many of you want just like you wanted for Tae Williams. But I am sympathetic to this kid. Let him do his time, pay up to the family in civil court, and let him move on with his life hoping hes learned a valuable lesson. Maybe he can restart his career in a few years if hes lucky.

And I am absolutely sympathetic to whoever this persons loved ones are too. They will get their justice in legal court and civil court.

It's ****** all around. You can feel empathy for both parties. Ruggs ****ed up significantly, and it cost a life. Ruggs is probably feeling like the ****tiest person in the world and knows he's got a long road of **** ahead of him.

This is pretty much the correct response.

Also, I believe the NFL (aside from what teams do) offers Ubers for the players.

I am guilty of having too much to drink and driving home. I'm sure many of us are. But there isn't much of an excuse when you have Riggs financial means and consequences of something bad happening. Meaning, forget about someone getting killed (which is obviously awful) --- if he simply got a DUI, it could significantly hurt his future earning potential.

Stupid every which way you look at it. RIP to the victim.
 
I see everybody mentioning ride shares, do celebrities actually use them? Genuinely curious. I would think in a world where everything is recorded, videos put online, that wouldn't be ideal for intoxicated celebrities.

If you have money like Ruggs does (or did), you could even hire a car service esp in Vegas where they just sit outside hotels and leave your car overnight at the hotel. you don't even need to go through normal ride shares. they said he was w a girl. maybe he went out to dinner met a girl decided to party and were headed back. at that moment, you leave your car wherever (who cares if its towed) and get the private car set up. the worst he'd be doing today is being hungover and that victim would be at home hanging out

this happened in nevada and nevada classifies dui with deadly crash as a category b felony - depending on the conviction, ruggs is either getting two years in jail or 20.

DUI Causing Injury or Death in Nevada - NRS § 484C.430

In Nevada, it is a class B felony to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs and thereby cause another to suffer substantial bodily injury or death.

If he gets 2, the Raiders will probably take him back and make him captain

True, but I think the NFL has a service where they provide drivers for their players. You know those drivers are heavily vetted and well compensated.
