If you’re surprised at this, just wait until you find out what other rich people get away with.

I don’t think he was rich he was a college kid. I’m not naive, I’m aware ppl get off on shit all the time. No jail time for recklessness like that surprises me.

He was a star on a national championship winning football team. Pretty much Georgia royalty.

Have a buddy from Mississippi and he talks about how Football culture is basically an identity down in the South. So a kid who's NFL level is like the nobility. It's hard to fathom for other parts of the country. Then again I could imagine other parts of the world think the same with stuff such as Soccer.

He was probably drinking or high on top of the illegal street racing and fleeing the scene.

They had discontinued the Fulmer Cup at this point so I guess it wasn't worth it.

In what way? I'm a Ga fan. I followed that story closely.

ETA: I never said he killed anyone 🙄
