Chamberlain apologizes for 'an error in judgment' after DUI arrest

He just bought it?
And am I allowed to lose respect for Joba because he put innocent people's lives at risk, or do I have to "cut him a break" because he made a "mistake"
if he just bought it it would have temp plates on it. its illegal to drive with dealer plates unless he is test driving it or bringing it from 1 dealer to another.. a.d based on the time of night and intoxification id say it does nto fall into those catagoriesQuote:

He's sorry he got caught
Mikey, what are we doing about IL30? Get me on AIM when you can.
Join me on the loss of respect train. I have no time for ANYONE stupid enough to drive drunk, ESPECIALLY someone who can easily afford to hire a car.Quote:

it doesn't take alot of booze to register a .08...in fact many of us have probably been above it but not pulled over. Without knowing his BAC or the circumstances surrounding this, its really arrogant to give him a hard time over this. Now repeat offenders...i have no patient for. People grossly intoxicated I have no patience for. But we don't know the circumstances.Quote:

I think that you have to cut him some slack... I am VERY confident that he is not the only face athlete to drive while intoxicated.
Complete loss of respect for him as a person. Nothing wrong with cheering for him on the field, but as a person, he's an idiot...and I say that about ANY person who drives while intoxicated. The "oh, lots of people do it, it's not that big of a deal" excuse is absolute BS. It onlly takes ONE time for you to get a little careless and kill somebody..then you'll be blubbering in court and saying "oh, I didn't mean to" and other crap. Playing with people's lives by driving drunk is just completely unacceptable.....too bad there are so many idiots in the world who do think it's okay.
I just hope that he doesn't have a problem and becomes the next Sidney Ponson.
This is moot houston as many, probably you included, posted they would hold this against him even before knowing his BAC. .134 while high, depending on your tolerance many can function at that level without others knowing they are intoxicated. Doesn't make it right, it was a dumb decision. A decision a great many of Americans who critique those given DUI's have made themselves (hypocrites).Quote:

They should make the laws against this very strict for first offense to reduce it happening. Second offenders should serve jail time. I can't stand people who drink and drive...but knowing i've gotten behind the wheel where I felt I was fine but more than likely would have failed a breathalizer so I won't be a hipocrite.
I was just posting some pertinent information. Also, just to clarify, I didn't post anything prior to that.Quote:
