Drunk Boater Kills 10-Year-Old, 39 Empty Beers Found Onboard.
RVM:
A North Carolina man is facing multiple charges, including the potential for second-degree murder, after authorities say he was operating a boat while intoxicated and caused a crash that killed a 10-year-old girl and severely injured a school staff member over the weekend, as reported by The New York Post.
According to Chatham County District Attorney Jeff Nieman, Quinten Kight, 40, was piloting his girlfriend’s boat on Harris Lake, roughly 25 miles outside Raleigh, on Saturday afternoon when the vessel struck swimmers in the water. more
Being drunk never does anyone any good
This is tragic
Whatever penalty he gets, it isn’t enough.
The murder charges are “pending further investigation”?!
The longer I live, the less sense our laws make to me.
Dry him out, get him healthy, then use him for transplant parts.
I’ve spent a lot of time on the water. In fast boats. The thing about boats is they have no brakes. Your average idiot is a danger on the water. Throw in some alcohol and bad things are going to happen. Ironically the worst wreck I’ve witnessed on the water due to alcohol wasn’t anything that floated. It was a shit faced pilot buzzing people on the lake. Me and the whole famdamily watched him auger in his vintage twin-engine Lockheed P2V Harpoon. 100 yards from us. Killing all 7 on board.
One hell raising dirtbag plus one old gal looking for some hard stuff plus her boat and a bunch of alcohol equals a tragedy for some innocent people. Dude has been in the IDGAF lane before and needs a comprehensive whuppin. The old bag can probably be knocked around some way or other but those are two scummy emm effs right there.
Stupid with a track record. This is the kind of fuking dumb-shit you lock up and throw away the key for. With his priors he has proven that he doesn’t, won’t or can’t learn, is a danger to society and needs to be removed from society as a result until he’s ready for the nursing home because he’s old, not for having the living shit beat out of him!
Just give him to her 4 closest family members. It may just take her daddy or her mama but add a few more just for backup. The American justice system can’t do her far too short of a life enough justice, so let family render it.
…you can be out for a day of fun, doing everything right and nothing wrong; be young, be healthy, be full of life, and still die at any time of the stupidity of another.
Remember that.
Stay prayed up and ready to go.
Because at any moment, your soul may be required of you.
Or your child.
I hate drunks. This is just confirmation #4,357,836.
We always watched where we were boating and when we got close to swimming depth we always slowed down to an idle. Where the heck are these peoples brains that they can’t think
Throw the book at the asshole. Everyone should know how dangerous it is to operate a vehicle on land, sea, or air while hammered. Our society needs to engage in a merciless moron purge.
We live basically on a lake and it’s an every weekend thing, drunks wrecking their boats. Thankfully, they’re usually just hurting themselves.
