So heartbreaking. Today would have been his third wedding anniversary. I'm not a very emotional person, but there honestly hasn't been a day that has gone by where I haven't thought about them. Playing with my daughter, putting her to bed and realizing that both Johnny's and Matt's kids will never get that. Life isn't fair.

Looks like they are having the funeral for Johnny and Matty at St Mary Magdalen in Media on Monday.

I don't mean this in a bad way, but I wonder why they were riding their bikes at that hour on those roads. I know it wasn't their fault, and I am in no way blaming them, but the sun was down and it gets very dark out on those roads. Obviously they weren't expecting to get hit by a drunk asshole, it's just a shame they were out there at that exact time.

Why are the funerals in Media?

I just tried watching the service on YouTube...I made it about 30 seconds...I can't do it. It's just so heartbreaking, it doesn't seem real

Guy walking down the aisle following the caskets was just gut wrenching

That was terrible.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Is there any particular reason we can't execute the driver right now?

 

[FlyerNutter]

That was terrible.

Watched the ladies speeches, and saw that too.

Can’t imagine how that feels.

I don't normally put classy and WWE in the same sentence, but this was classy by them.

.087 isnt nearly drunk enough to get a somewhat respectable person to drive like this guy did.

Him drinking definitely played a part, slower reaction times, but him being a f***ing impatient asshole is the main reason. Either way the guy is a f***ing piece of shit and if he offs himself, good for him

This..... the normal driver who drinks, is likely 10x more cautious. The reckless idiot driver likely loses even more inhibition. He already was a dangerous driver.

Right, if this came back at like .30 I could blame the booze for the decision. But nah, this guy would have done this sober. If there are any outstanding hit and runs, they should find out what this guy was doing when they happened.

brooo what ?

i do like the introduction of "normal driver who drinks" as a class of vehicle operator. commendable!

 

[swami24]

Meaning if a normal driver who has a few. Not to say 5 or 6 in an hour. Normal drivers who have too many don't get behind the wheel if they feel impaired.

When I’ve heard people talk about ‘call an Uber’ in regards to this, I always questioned whether that was the issue more than road rage. It sounds a lot better to say you’re a belligerent asshole because you’re drinking as opposed to being a belligerent asshole because you’re simply being an asshole. Because people are going to start moving on, it won’t get any play.

Was his bac .087? I thought it said .087 over the limit?
