Martin Erat crashes DUI, sped away from the scene.

[ChiTownPhilly]

I'm highly skeptical because who the f*** can identify Martin Erat???? Like how locked in do you gotta be to know that he's Martin Erat

Easily confirmable through cursory internet search [Martin Erat -> News]: found on multiple NA Media sources.

Biggest relief- no one was hurt (this time).

Like anyone else with a soul, I hope this defines "bottom" for the guy- and that he climbs out of the pit... recommitting to clean living each day.

In addiction situations, the equation is simple--

Everything else in life-------------^--------------Your Jones

What's more important?!

I have few words, and even less time, for those who are attempting to insert politics into this near-tragedy.

Everyone knows the rich guy in a small town

It’s not a small town. It’s a Nashville suburb with low population density (I.e. everyone is the rich guy).

Imagine being wealthy and not spending $15 on an uber?

The only difference between him and the guy who ran over the Gaudreau's is luck.

The worst part is that he runs a youth hockey program there, this is a horrible example for the kids.

Yeah I'd have trouble picking him out of a crowd

What a cowardly POS

I don't want this piece of shit to get help, I don't feel bad for him, I want him thrown in prison where he belongs.

If you are stupid enough to get drunk or high and get behind the wheel you don't need help, you need to be locked away in prison so that the rest of society doesn't have to deal with you.

If I had the money he's made in his career I'd never drive anywhere again I'd have a Limousine and a driver.

but no he's got to be a piece of shit.

Throw his ass in prison

One of his union brothers was senselessly killed by a drunk driver not even a year ago. I know the polite thing to say is "I hope he gets the help he needs" or something, but come on. The only help he needs is a suspended license and some possible jail time.
