How sad. Three young lives ended by another drunk. One that was driving on a suspended license from a previous DUI conviction.

This may seem harsh, but they should hang him by the ankles and bleed him dry. I have no tolerance for drunk drivers, even less for repeat offenders. I'd love to show him how little respect I have for HIS life.

This reminds me of another incident that happened not too long ago in southern California too... Some 26 or 28 year old lady was killed by a repeat drunk driving offender. Her and her boyfriend were planning on getting married soon. Things like this disgust me. By the way, the driver pleaded not guilty.

Drunk drivers should get lifetime ban on motor vehicle license, as well as prison time.

Wow, that's just the most unreasonably sad thing I've heard in a while.

Very sad. I drive that way to school everyday. The street was closed off and I was late to class. I didn't connect it to the Angel's pitcher until later. Two of the other people with him go to my school. Sad day on campus

Very sad and just hours after pitching 6 innings.....

Agreed. People like that do not deserve to live. To be that selfish, it boggles my mind. I keep thinking: what if someone did that to my wife or children?

I used to listen to 97.1KLSX when it was still a talk radio station, and there was a commercial advertising a drunk driving defense attorney. It made me angry every time I heard it.
