It gets worse, I read the Johnny's brother and his wife are expecting a child. Just so tragic. Driver annoyed to drinking and driving recklessly and impatiently.
If he lasts that long, whether it be in prison or otherwise. If he does he will have to live with the fact that he killed a father of two and a father-to-be. Either way he will be getting what he deserves.
Wow.

You’d be surprised. Definitely worse for him if on duty when it happened.
I read this and saw the post from the wife of one of the killed brothers and it was brutal. This f*cker was passing on the right!?! Needs to rot.
Yep. Sloppy writing as well. Hope the NJNG also decides to take severe action, reduce his rank to 2nd Lt and give him a dishonorable status.
F this dude. The fact that he was so impatient that he tried passing on the right baffles me, even with several beers in him. That is f n impatient.
We're just devestated here in Columbus. I have tickets for Opening Night. It will be quite difficult emotionally.
Very powerful...don't recommend reading unless you're ready to cry.
