Looks like former Leaf captian Rob Ramage went 'Dany Heatly' yesterday. Former Blackhawk defenseman Keith Magnuson was killed in the crash.

"Former NHL defenceman Rob Ramage was charged with impaired driving causing death Tuesday, the day after former Chicago Blackhawk Keith Magnuson was killed in a three-car crash. York Regional Police announced the charge Tuesday morning. Magnuson, 56, was riding with Ramage on Monday night as the two reportedly were on the way back to Toronto from nearby Bolton, Ont., where they attended the funeral of NHL Alumni Association chair Keith McCreary, who died last week after a battle with cancer."

Morons who get behind the wheel after drinking are worse than Hitler.

Okay, maybe not worse than Hitler, but they're idiots none-the-less. :mad:
 
:rolleyes:
 
Seldom does the drunk driver pay the ultimate price for their actions. It's the victims and their families that suffer the most in the end. Rob Ramage will have to live with this for the rest of his life.

At least he has the "rest of his life."
 
I humbly apologize to all my Irish friends. I'll buy each of them a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's next March.
 
The penalties for DUI or impaired driving in Canada are a joke, way too leniant.

I know somebody that was left a parapalegic by a driver that fell asleep at the wheel and veered onto the shoulder and hit her from behind. She was on a bicycle well onto the shoulder at the time. She has a husband and 2 small children. She is still alive but now has a life sentence essentially.

Too bad the ones that cause the accidents seem to get off with a slap on the wrist (a lot of the times).

Not sure whether this was a slam or an attempt at humour, but let's please try to get the facts right:

1. It's "Heatley", not "Heatly".
2. There's been absolutely no suggestion that alcohol was involved in any way in the horrible crash that killed Dan Snyder.

There's a big difference between the kid who think he's invincible and drives way too fast, and the grown-up who thinks he's invincible and drives drunk. My capacity for compassion is much greater for the first than the second.
 
While I agree there is a difference in the actions of the two drivers, the result is the same. Excessive speed can be as dangerous as alcohol. It was a good thing nobody was walking on the sidewalk when Heatley lost control. Negligence on the part of Heatley & Ramage lead to the deaths of their passengers. Both now have to live with it.
 
Yeah, but A LOT of guys go to SC's and drink to get pissed. Not me, I drink Sprite, who cares if someone makes fun of me, I'm there for one drink, one dancer and I'm gone......I don't have to worry about R.I.D.E. being around the corner.
 
Maybe Rob Ramage is a good guy and maybe he made an unbelievably dreadful mistake and maybe a merciful society should go easy on him, but I hope the courts go real hard on him. I'm not saying he should get life, but a very lengthy jail term (minimum 10 years) sends the message very loud and very clear.

The madness must stop. No second chances. And not just for drunk drivers. If you drive at excessive speed and kill someone......goodbye. If you blatantly run a red light and kill someone.....goodbye. And if you get caught doing it but are lucky enough to not cause a death.....you lose your license......forever.
 
You can't get ten years in Canada for being in a gang, on probation and being barred from carrying weapons, taking an illegal gun to a party, and shooting innocent people when you blast away at gang rivals. Perhaps that is not quite true, but it is close. So it is hard to justify giving a drunk driver that much, he did not intend to kill his buddy, he was just an idiot. I would not mind if drunk driving killers got 10 years, but lets also make sure that intentional killings get even longer sentences.
 
Very good point C Dick.
It's a shame.
 
On the cover of the sun the other day it stated that Ramage was 3 times the legal limit.

That's a lot drunk and completely insane frankly.

Obviously something is fucked up.
