Griz LB Strahm arrested for DUI
- Thread starter Colter_Nuanez56
- Start date
So after reading some of PR's arguments about texting while driving I think he is right. I don't want my wife and kids endangers by some mothertexter who isn't intelligent enough to know the king's English much less being able to text and drive. Besides, most of the folks I see doing it look like low-grade morons anyway. Either that or folks that think that the laws don't apply to them. (It's illegal in Billings, don't know about Missoula.)
In light of those sobering statistics I think the penalties for using a phone while driving should be the same for DUI, heavy fines, maybe a night in jail. It should have an effect on your insurance and the ability to keep your license. The commercials say a DUI ends up costing around $10,000. A lot of accidents are caused by morons on the phone so the penalties should be the same as DUI. Rock on PR.

No eating or drinking in the car soon either. To distracting. And don't forget talking, eventually that too will be to distracting. As a matter fact, just get rid of all the passengers, and no music...we can't have you singing along with the tunes. Pets? Nope.....they need to be tied to the roof. No preening yourself either, so that upcoming date, well since she is distracting, you don't need to smell good anyway.

your link is from 2014 and even that one is out of date. Montana leads the nation in alcohol abuse. 9.87% of Montanans over age 12 abuse alcohol. This is nothing to be proud of and I suspect it is a leading indicator of why Montanans also rank high in suicides. Montana needs to change its culture. Other states have done it. This guy is on a scholarship. He is old enough to pay the consequences and if it were my decision, he would be off the team..no discussion.

And, absolutely zero tolerance for on the road masturbation. The problem with equating texting etc. with drinking is that there are many degrees of drunkenness. While many of us have probably been a whisker over the limit on occasion, being nearly three times over is nearing or past the point of reckless disregard for human life. Now, I realize PR — in his OCD driven need to deflect any blame from angelic jocks -- will compare this with some distracted lady talking on three phones at once while adjusting her Ben Wa balls, but this degree of inebriation is a little too close to flirting with second degree murder for me. I had an old classmate who killed, literally, an entire family in this state a few decades ago. Now, fortunately, we have on the horizon a solution to all our ills … the rapidly approaching advent of self driving cars so that we can run a small bar and a whore house right in the privacy of our own vehicles with no fear of inflicting harm on others. So, we need not suffer this onerous Puritanism much longer. Until then, just stay sober.

Yeah, no shit, Uber is super convenient. David Reese is an uber driver, could have called him.
Skyline is always on the bleeding edge whenever something goes the Griz's way. When our starting MLB gets a DUI, Skyline is the first to start the thread.
I'm not arguing SS's journalism qualify, because they are solid in the state of Montana. But for 1) they are compared to Lee Enterprises. 2) Griz fans should be aware that they are a Pro-Bobcat outlet.

Reading about this incident, I'm glad that his stupid decision did not cost him or anyone else their life. Having lost people close to me due to drunk drivers this is a difficult one for me. I get how it happens, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. I hope that he can learn from this very expensive lesson and be glad it was not any worse than it is.
Have heard from his teammates that he is a good guy, just made a stupid decision(as we all have, but no excuse).
