Drunk driver. Piece of shit.

Just a reminder, as we head into Labor Day Weekend, please be safe and careful out there.

My thoughts and prayers to both families that are affected by one man's idiotic decision.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Devastating for that family. A bit lost for words otherwise; just shocked by this.

Terrible, terrible news on what should have been a happy day for their family.

[ColbyChaos]

That's horrible.

Condolences to his family.

Hopefully the rest of his contract is paid to his widow.

Really hope that can be done and isnt just voided

So I guess he apparently wasn’t super drunk, just had some drinks and was driving like a total asshole because he didn’t want to get caught in a slow lane of traffic. What a total POS.

What crazy, terrible news to wake up to. Just awful.

Its even more infuriating that Mr. Sean Higgins has kids of his own and he chose to not only drink and drive but to also be an impatient asshole driving at a speed he cant even react to slow down to avoid hitting two people.

Also a normal rule of thumb if someone said they had 5-6 beers odds are they likely had more and wanted to undersell how much they had in order to feel better about themselves.

It goes without saying but drivers like these really are the f***ing worst. We’ve all seen them. They’re so inconsiderate of other’s safety. I hope this guy spends the rest of his life in prison.

one of those things you just don't expect to open up the news and see. took me a second to process. truly awful doesn't even describe it.

 

[belfour30]

I saw this last night and was hoping it wasn't true.

RIP Johnny

 

[Darkstar]

Absolutely horrible. My prayers for their family. RIP Johnny and Matthew. I hope they throw the book at the driver.

I merged the conversation about this tragedy together from two topics, so please note some folks may look like they've double posted when that wasn't the case. No posts were deleted as I definitely don't feel like stepping on toes of an obviously extremely emotional subject matter.

 

[ChiHawks10]

RIP to the Gaudreau brothers. Just an awful tragedy. And the day before their sister's wedding, no less.

And JFC the main board thread is bordering on unreadable at this point. A cesspool of stupid, as always.

This is the court hearing for the scumbag. Makes my blood boil that he seems more inconvenienced than anything that he’ll be there until Thursday.

Like buddy, you’re going to be there a lot longer than that.

 

[JaegerDice]

No words.

I can't ****ing imagine what his parents are going through. To lose two sons on the same day, out of the blue.

Devastating.

They were both supposed to be standing up in their sisters wedding today. Words can’t even describe how devastated this news is

JFC

Gets even sadder

Can't imagine the grief and loss family is experiencing on what should have been one of the happiest days in life of all the family

 

[BobbyJet]

OMG ......there are no words. Life is so precious that we should never take for granted. Condolences to the Gaudreau family. May Johnny and Mathew rest in peace.

This piece of shit was apparently drinking in his car when it happened, as well. Sounds like it was road rage, on top of drinking and driving. He had passed a car already, and was trying to pass an SUV when the SUV moved over to the middle of the road to give them room on their bikes. He then tried to speed around the SUV ON THE RIGHT, which would have almost assuredly required him to go off the road. A total f***ing scumbag who should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

That poor guy, being inconvenienced because he....[checks notes]...killed two individuals in a drunk driving incident he's solely responsible for.

Wish the worst for this individual.

Imagine being that unaware. He has literally affected countless lives and is worried about when he can get back home to crack one open. f***ing makes me sick to my stomach.

 

[Styles]

Watched the video. “ I’m here until Thursday?” Um yeah buddy. What do you think this is? You killed people. Hope you rot. Unfortunately he will probably get 10 to 15 years because it’s slightly okay to kill people when you’re drunk for some reason.

 

[Styles]

Makes my blood boil. An Uber is like 25-30 bucks. Don’t be an idiot.
