- lasertows, on 05/08/2008, -3/+453why do the drunk drivers ALWAYS survive
- lawngnomes4pres, on 05/08/2008, -1/+359This is the kind of story that gives you chills. Tragic and incredible.
- strikerK, on 05/08/2008, -4/+342died a hero
- Kerath, on 05/08/2008, -15/+337How the ***** do people allow themselves to drive drunk? Disgusting. You might as well just fire a gun randomly.
http://digg.com/general_sciences/Roads_Safer_When_ ... - Armor1901, on 05/08/2008, -5/+212Some people later on will say that they maybe feel bad for the guy driving drunk because "he's going to have to live with the guilt" for the rest of his life.
I say ***** him, and ***** his guilt. Nail his ass to the wall. Only two felony charges for aggravated driving under the influence, and a license ticket? - doremon313, on 05/08/2008, -5/+169thats what a real father should be doing, not the crap that being going on in the news lately
- EnjoyTheFact, on 05/08/2008, -2/+157To put it lightly, that guy is a ***** hero.
- JD52, on 05/08/2008, -6/+155This should be one of those cases you read about where the person driving the car who caused this terrible tragedy has to write a check for $2 to the charity founded in the victims name every week for the rest of his life.
- matt.rubin, on 05/08/2008, -9/+157they just wanted some McDonalds :(
- BuryObama, on 05/08/2008, -4/+139Because they never brace them selves.
When you stiff up expecting the impact, you have a greater chance of dying. - firebhaal, on 05/08/2008, -7/+131These stories always move me to tears and at the same time rejuvenate my faith in humanity
- BassJunkie, on 05/08/2008, -1/+104This is probably one of the saddest stories I've ever read, but being a father to 5 children all I can say is this guy is a true hero. He made the ultimate sacrifice to protect that which matters most to him. Rest in peace Mr Richardson, you truly are an amazing man.
- Jeffler, on 05/08/2008, -2/+88$104/year? Make it $20/week at the least.
- l0k0, on 05/08/2008, -3/+88I don't think I'll ever be that selfless. This guy didn't even flinch.
- zadadka, on 05/08/2008, -0/+80Having children changes that perspective.
- ajmsd3030, on 05/08/2008, -2/+78The drunk son of a ***** that murdered my grandpa sure was totally fine, too. He's out and about living it up right now, as well. It's funny, how the world works.
- TimOgg, on 05/08/2008, -0/+67bet it was a treat after being good and was looking forward to it.
bet he was too.
some personal time with his kid - Soave, on 05/08/2008, -0/+60Damn, that's incredibly sad. :/ What a great guy, too.
- pugetsound98406, on 05/08/2008, -2/+60If you read the caption you wouldn't sound like an ass right now.
- z3r0c0O1, on 05/08/2008, -12/+67$2/week? ***** that. Make this ***** give his entire life savings and then hang him.
- aceakm, on 05/08/2008, -0/+53annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd i'm officially depressed.
- danz, on 05/08/2008, -0/+53Its not about the money its the fact he cant forget what he did since he has to sit down ever week and write that check.
- Kyrgizion, on 05/08/2008, -3/+53As long as we have "celebrities" driving DUI every weekend and getting off the hook easily because they know the judges personally, people will not be deterred that easily. After all, why would John Doe abide the rules if society's "best and brightest" *cough* don't have to?
- stopthistrain, on 05/08/2008, -1/+47So sad. There are so many fatherless children out there, and but these kids had a great one and now he's gone thanks to some selfish a$$hole.
- Chompy, on 05/08/2008, -1/+45Agreed. As a parent I really can't imagine *not* doing something like this for my own daughter. I'd die for her in a second, but it's not heroism. It's kinda hardwired. Basically when I became a father, life flashed my BIOS.
- waynechng, on 05/08/2008, -1/+42I was wondering who'd be the first with negative diggs on this article and you sir are the winner!
- QueensGangsta, on 05/08/2008, -0/+40Why...would you even say something like that?
- guany, on 05/08/2008, -0/+40Should make him pay child support to the child's family.
- heystoopid, on 05/08/2008, -2/+40way too low , should be 50% of his income for life !
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -3/+39People drive drunk because they think they can do it safely. Basically, they're self-centered idiots.
- enmattp, on 05/08/2008, -7/+43R.I.P Mr. Richardson. We should bring back public execution for this drunk driver.
- inverselogic, on 05/08/2008, -0/+35Terrible story =(, we always lose the good ones
- rebotfc, on 05/08/2008, -16/+51Yeah like that worked, however with a name like BuryObama what else can we expect.
- bpoteat, on 05/08/2008, -1/+35Well, the guy's family has to eat and the people that sell the food don't really take anything else. Do they trade hugs or something for food in other countries?
- DeadlyCouncil, on 05/08/2008, -0/+33judging by that dude's track record (no license/insurance, drunk) something tells me that won't be a whole lot.
- dunk71, on 05/08/2008, -1/+33Yeah, that's why I always get drunk before I get on a plane or a train - for personal safety. Honest.
- guany, on 05/08/2008, -0/+32semantics.....
I admire him for what he did, therefore he's a hero (at least to me). - aladrin, on 05/08/2008, -2/+33YA RLY.
Seriously. Really. If you stiffen your muscles, you do indeed have a greater chance of broken bones and whiplash, which means greater chance of dying. There are many reports of drunk drivers that survived wrecks that would have seriously maimed or killed them if they had been sober. - mariemoonpie, on 05/08/2008, -1/+31no, if u read the article the other guy depicted was the driver
- gonzo1773, on 05/08/2008, -2/+31I would like to think I would do the same for my little girld but Im not sure. This guy didnt even flinch when that decision came upon him.
Sucks too. He wanted to be a minister.
And Im in agreement with the "hang the drunk driver who kills folks" mentality. It would at least help deter tragedies like this.
Heart to the family for their loss. - asjk, on 05/08/2008, -1/+30Joseph was prepared, in my opinion, and thought out beforehand what he would do if just such a circumstance presented itself. A parent must always search for ways that things could go wrong and how they will act to protect their offspring.
- frmatc, on 05/08/2008, -2/+31Or fleshy cars
- Iwantawii, on 05/08/2008, -11/+38FALSE. A hero kills people, people that wish him harm. A hero is part human and part supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a disaster, that must be avenged.
/Dwight Schrute on heroes - widoka, on 05/08/2008, -1/+27maybe you just suck at being a twin
- TheMidnight, on 05/08/2008, -1/+27It's why we need metal people.
- black27696, on 05/08/2008, -4/+30 I've never driven drunk. You should be ashamed of yourself for blowing it off as something that "everyone" does.
- javip, on 05/08/2008, -1/+27expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person, is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
- aukxsona, on 05/08/2008, -3/+28It's senseless, he shouldn't have had to put his life on the line to save his daughter. It's so sad. I hope and [ray a memorial is set up for him so everyone will remember him for his bravery and selflessness.
- pugetsound98406, on 05/08/2008, -3/+28I'll second that. The story would have been better if an angry mob would have pulled him from his car and beat the life out of him.
