Really a tragedy. Two brothers killed while biking by a suspected drunk driver the night before they were about to stand up in their sisters wedding.

Just devastating for their entire family. Pray for them...

No one wants to believe what just happened and it sucks that driving under the influence was the reason for the tragedy.

I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan and one of their rookies was killed during this offseason by a drunk driver...

A week later Jordan Addison(another young Vikings player) gets caught drunk driving(he fell asleep at the wheel of his Rolls Royce in LA)(luckily he didn't kill anyone).

Look how normalized driving under the influence is in the US. People drive "tipsy" all the time. I would never. If I have the slightest buzz I ain't driving my car it's not about "can i drive after a few beers" it's "Am I going to kill a family of 5 in a van because I drove on 4 beers".

I stopped drinking 6 years ago because a friend was killed by a drunk driver.
I can't imagine what the families are going through. Going to a tough year for the Blue Jackets this year.
Condolences to everyone.

In PA basically everyone has a DUI and it’s sad to think that people just don’t care. Coworker has 3 duis and the thought of jail time for it sickens him. it’s like if you didn’t learn from the first, let alone the second why would you think they’d see nothing less than an obvious repeat offender and throw the books at you just based off of knowing that. People that drink and drive are the worst. I understand if you were at dinner and had a beer, having 1 beer and waiting a hour is perfectly fine. But drinking shot after shot at the bar or at home and leaving right after is down right negligence.

This guy should get at least 25+ years. He deserves every year more too.

I rarely drink at all for similar reasons. Whether its a wedding or going out to a bar with some friends I will always refrain from going too far. If I do I'll wait hours or call an Uber.

It's very similar in Illinois. A lot of people have one DUI and some have MULTIPLE. Like you said after one DUI you should never do it again and legally by law it should be harder for you to do anything related to driving. After the 2nd your license should be suspended for like 10 years/you have to use the in car breathalyzer to start your vehicle. After 3 you should be jailed for like 10-20 years or worse. Driving a vehicle is statistically the most dangerous thing humans do where a simple mistake means loss of life. The countries that give out the death penalty for DUI's or are enforced harshly have literally zero DUI's because if you do it your dead. When I think of someone who is driving right now after having 2+ DUI's I see them as someone who is playing Russian roulette with other peoples lives. Total scum. Total degenerates.

rip Gaudreau brothers :(

there's a reason why the US has like x8-10 times the DUI kill rate of a place like the UK, and why Canada has a Premier with a DUI kill conviction... zero infrastructure in most of North America for anything other than cars and people under the influence in rural areas basically don't have any options to get home if they didn't arrange a ride.
