Didnt ROR get a DUI in a Tim Horton's drive through?
That’s one way to put it.

Who have empathy and understanding for people who drives drunk? It's extremely easy to not do. If he had killed one of your family members while driving drunk would you have called for empathy and understanding?Hope Bertuzzi gets some help for things that are troubling him. Very lucky no one was injured.
A lot of posters need to grow up or grow some empathy and understanding for others. It’s an awful look; says more about the poster than the subject.
Forgiveness is a important part of maturity. Alcoholism is a serious and terrible affliction, and not one that can be easily broken. Empathy is important, not anger. There is obviously something serious going on that he has to take accountability for and fix in his life. There is nothing wrong whatsoever with wishing the best for someone.Who have empathy and understanding for people who drives drunk? It's extremely easy to not do.

Anyone who decides to sit behind the wheel drunk is nothing less than an asshat and only deserves hatred.

1. I am not sure how you read outrage in my post.What I wrote was the actual tagline from a MADD commercial.
They interviewed a bunch of people on the street who all claimed they never & would ever drive after drinking just like in the first couple pages of this thread. They then ended the commercial by saying "for everybody to be against drinking & driving, there sure seems to be a lot of drunk driving still happening".
I'm sure you were similarly outraged by MADD's position on this matter.
Wow. What a Dinosaur.Dale Hunter still drives drunk it’s well known in London even the cops will drive him home when they stop him
Nope, ya might say he pulled a Tiger Woods.Couldn't have happened to a classier guy
I never said it was okay. I said it is bad. It's really bad. But I won't back down in saying that being a little bit over the limit isn't nearly as bad as getting behind the wheel when you know damn well that you are so drunk you can hardly walk but still decide that driving is okay. Neither should ever happen. But the latter scenario is far worse, you won't convince me otherwise.
you know, one time, about twenty years ago i was in a full staff meeting at the newspaper where i was working as an entry level grunt. we were talking about how to go forward with a story about some important local politician who got a DUI and one of the editors goes, okay show of hands. who's ever driven even a little over the limit?
every single person in that room older than 25 raised their hand. none of us younger than that (we probably would have all been born during the carter presidency) raised our hands.
we were all like, holy shit.
1. I am not sure how you read outrage in my post.
2. I still do not know what point you are trying to make. Are you making a joke? Using the quote from MADD Magazine to drive home a point?
He turned the side of the Tim Hortons into a drive thruDidnt ROR get a DUI in a Tim Horton's drive through?
Thank you. Ror is now a cup winner, a great team guy, high end two way player. No one ever says a bad word about him, he’s celebrated. He drove through a donut shop and fled the scene on foot! Yet Bertuzzi is now considered an alcoholic and a total scumbag.I don’t support driving drunk and it’s a stupid choice but I don’t know Todd personally or what’s going in his life enough to judge him on why he would a make such dumb choice.
I will point it out it’s very easy to slam a player that doesn’t exactly have the best track record on ice and is inactive when someone like Ryan O’Rielly who’s gets forgotten for his mistakes like driving a vehicle drunk through a tim Hortons and tried to flee and gets acquitted cause Canadian courts are a joke
Actually he proved himself to be a beautyHe proved himself to be a f***ing idiot years ago. Not surprised.
My mistake.MADD=Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
It has nothing to do with Mad magazine.
My mistake.
But again, I am not sure what point you are trying to make. Seems like you are discounting any and all criticism of Todd Bertuzzi because drunk driving is prevalent despite people's objections. Am I misinterpreting your position?

Of the fewer than 200 people who have posted in this thread, I think it is quite the statement to make that a number of those people must be hypocrites because of nationwide statistics.You're misinterpreting my position.
My position is the same as MADD. Statistics show that at least some of the numerous people in this thread claiming they have never & would never drink & drive are full of s***.
It'd be a pretty terrible sample size. One, a ton of posters aren't American, two, hockey tends to be a sport targeted more to the middle and upper-class (which would remove the fact people in lower socio-economic environments are more likely to be convicted of felonies for a variety of reasons).Of the fewer than 200 people who have posted in this thread, I think it is quite the statement to make that a number of those people must be hypocrites because of nationwide statistics.
Statistically, roughly 8% of Americans have been convicted of a felony as of 2010 (I'm sure the number has changed one way or the other since the article was posted, but for the sake of argument let's just assume the number since the exact percentage isn't the issue). Is it safe to argue that at least 8 people in this thread have also been convicted of a felony, or is this too small of a sample size to make an accurate prediction?

Well that makes it alright then...Somebody on reddit said that he was coming back from Sergei Tchekmarev's funeral.
You don't need to be perfect to not be stupid and get behind the wheel drunk
It was alright for Ryan O'Reilly, so why not Bertuzzi? Oh, right. Because we don't like Bertuzzi.Well that makes it alright then...
Hell yeah dude, and screw you if you think otherwisebut a guy gets wasted and drives drunk after his close friend's funeral, and we need to throw the book at him.
