I am not on a high horse. 3 years for what he did wasn't enough. As I said, if he had done it to you would you still say it was enough? Would you be happy with it? Would you get into you wheelchair every day thinking justice has been done?
No, not everyone is perfect. Some people are just more stupid than others. McCormick/Hughes, they're the same. Stupid.
And yes, I'm 46 and things like that did happen 20/25 years ago. I used to drink in Long Itch, so it was a nice quiet village, not many police about so there were lockins and people staggering to their cars, tired and drunk. Scum.
So your telling me that weren't the case?
I'm 27 and been told by plenty that it was a regular occurence back then?? But oh i forgot, everyone is perfect.
Are you that thick? It was a accident. He didn't intent to kill!! Tragic what happened yes but he has to live with that. Get off your high horse for feck sake.
The do gooder brigade are out in force i see.
It is more like 40 years ago. There also never used to be speeding restrictions on motorways.
Still no excuse though.
Mate, i'd be the same if it was my boy to be honest but it isn't (and i hope it never is)
But you didn't answer my question. You ever drove to work in the morning after a good drink the night before? Feeling worse for wear?
I accept the notion he didn't mean to kill them but he did. Also from memory this wasn't a couple of pints and a drive home up the road. He was careering down the motorway wasn't he? Most of the outrage is at his sentence which is pathetic. Then there is the wonderful football world. Someone will always try and recruit a player on the cheap. I was against kings employment but of course this is far worse.
Your comment about the family revelling in publicity defies any rational belief. What happens when the media loses interest in the story. They go out on another drive and hope some drunken idiot veers across the motorway and hits them? Perhaps they are just outraged that a tiny percentage of a young mans liberty was removed and now he can live his life as if nothing happened. For the victim it's always a life sentence.
Never. Never have, never will. That is why when I travel to a game I make a full weekend of it and come home sunday night.
Not saying it is a excuse but your missing the point. You would think Luke was the only lad to have ever drove after a drink the night before.
and can only think the wage he will get is the reason some find it intolerable?
If he worked at Tesco's I would still say the sentence was too short.
I'd never boo a player, it just seems a bit neandertholic to me.
With regards to McCormick, he's done his time and is out so of course he deserves a second chance. He'll be living with it for the rest of his life. As an aside i'm not sure what the parents of the 2 boys are gaining by haranguing Luke. He's been punished and nothing else can now happen. They should try to forgive him because harbouring the resentment is not healthy.
I think i could. I've been hit by a car and broke an arm, leg and ribs. I dont hate that person. I got bullied in school, i dont hate those people.i don't think you would be saying that if it was your 2 boys he killed.

What about if it was one of your boys who went out drink driving ,with the same consequencies ,would you want them rehabiltated into society or ,locked up with the key thrown away .

I'm not sure tbh. If i was killed in purely accidental measures i dont think i'd want to ruin that persons life by sending them to prison. They'd have to live with the guilt.Equally, you'd want to see them justly punished. If you're an exceptionally forgiving person, I commend you for it, but most would want the punishment to fit the crime.
I got bullied near enough every day for a year. I got severe depression and tried to commit suicide. I'm surprised i'm still alive.Hardly the same thing is it?
