Man what a moron.

I remember Gruden saying that they were drafting players they thought could handle the Vegas life and be mature.

RIP to the deceased.

Such a tragedy. Lost life, and a 22 year old basically threw his own life away.

I read another sad part of the story, the 22 year old was inspired to be a football player by his friend. His friend then died at age 17 in a car accident. The football player used to salute after scoring a touchdown to honor his friend.

Yup, threw up 3 fingers I believe. Ruggs was supposed to be in that car too but I think was sick or something and didnt go with them.

Sad as shit for the lady, and I couldnt imagine how fast he was going if the other car caught on fire. Maybe he hit the brakes at the last second and the hood dipped underneath hers, but just incredibly sad all around.

also, edit, Im trying to think what happened to Donte Stallworth. I think he missed a year in the nfl and then came back right after.

IIRC he paid a large sum to the victims family. He then spent 30 days in jail, was out for a year, then came back and played 3 seasons after.

I live in Vegas and I get absolutely annoyed we dont have a last call here. On the strip I get it but in residential areas there is no excuse for it. The idea I can be at a bar till 6am drinking and get smashed and then drive home when kids are out getting to school is insane. The bars by my house are all within half a mile of schools too.

not at all but this definitely increases the risk of people on their morning commute to be killed by a drunk driver when normally there isnt that much drunk driving happening at this time else where.

The Stallworth situation isn't really comparable because iirc the guy he hit was in the middle of the road (where he shouldn't have been) and Stallworth was barely speeding. If he hadn't have been drunk he probably might not have even gotten in trouble.

This is clearly Ruggs being a fucking selfish moron and I hope he rots for it.

Sounds like you were a either a fan of Stallworth (or one of his teams), or you arent a fan of the Raiders at all. Weird youd defend a drunk driver that killed someone while wishing a drunk driver that killed someone to rot.

You clearly have no idea what the background to the Stallworth incident was so you should probably just shut the fuck up for once in your life and stop making erroneous assumptions.

The guy Stallworth hit literally ran across the road (that has a speed limit of 40 mph) to catch a bus, outside of a crosswalk, in front of Stallworth's vehicle while Stallworth and the traffic traveling in that direction had a green light. There was even video evidence from a traffic camera that Stallworth braked his vehicle when the guy ran onto the road but still couldn't stop in time. Even being drunk Stallworth's lawyers thought they could get him off with absolutely nothing.

They're not even close to comparable situations at all.

The handgun is irrelevant if it is legally owned and he's allowed to possess it with him in the car.

Everything else is gonna be hard to defend in court. You're driving extremely drunk at high speeds. How can he not get closer to 20 years for that?

Apparently the handgun was illegally owned, so that should be another charge. Hope they don't let any of his sentences run concurrently.

And his signing bonus/any money he has is going straight to the family of the person he murdered. So he'll not only be an old decrepit man, but a poor, old decrepti man.

Also completely expect him to be used as a "soldier" in a prison gang due to his athleticism. Dude will either get killed or rack up enough extra prison time that he may never see freedom again.

Nah, the best senario if he was to crash would have been a career ending injury with jailtime and nobody died. Let him live the rest of his life without having killed anyone and living with the knowledge that he fucked his entire life up.

Having the gun in the car isn't the problem, having the gun in the car while under the influence is. In Nevada that's cut and dry illegal possession.

It is truly astounding how dumb Riggs decision was and how fucked his life should be.

1) professional athlete with millions of dollars, should never have to drive drunk with Uber/private services

2) NFLPA offers a ride service to all players for not a lot of money and iirc, its no questions asked sort of thing

3) live in a city known for nightlife and having the infrastructure to be able to get you home safely

This is all not counting his speed and whatnot. Like damn dude, you have to really try to fuck up this bad. Condolences to the family, hope Nevada isnt lenient on Ruggs because people need to learn that just because youre rich, doesnt mean you can do whatever you want.

Eh this is not necessarily true. Especially right now during the pandemic. But even regularly our transportation is really shitty here, especially downtown and for regular people. He's still a fucking asshole moron though and he could have avoided this by using his abundance of money to literally do anything but this.

New details emerged

-The woman did not die instantly and good samaritans tried to pull her out before the fire got out of control but were unable to do so. One had a fire extinguisher but they could not control the fire. It has got to be tragic for those who tried to help too. it must be horrible to feel that you attempted to save a helpless person from death but it was not enough.
-Ruggs apparently was uncooperative in the hospital and attempted to fight a blood test.

TMZ has video of the lead up to the crash and the aftermath if you want to see it.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tmz.com/2021/11/05/henry-ruggs-surveillance-video-speeding-fatal-crash-tina/

Also it does not really matter but the free ride program that NFLPA offered players was discontinued years ago.

As mentioned earlier, the NFL has a league wide 24-7 service to get you home. Several NBA teams do too.

No excuse for 156/127 mph in a residential area.

What a waste.
