This issue is you don't understand the meaning of the word mistake, which doesn't at all imply someone is not responsible for their actions.

His actions resulted in a woman burning alive.

And let's get this right - Hell, I'll play by your rules for a minute, I'm in the mood - Henry Ruggs first "mistake", as you call it, wasn't hitting that girl at high speed and burning her alive.

His first "mistake" was running a car at 150 MPH+ on a public street. A speed so excessive that he was going to kill someone at some point. And apparently, he made that "mistake" more than once. It was pretty much a lifestyle for Young Master Ruggs.

So yeah - he made a mistake, as you like to call it. Same as a routine Felon might make the "mistake" of holding up liquor stores. Just a "mistake".

I'd imagine that its because he's been a good friend and person to many people, and has been charitable with his money so far, and people don't just drop and cut off their friends when they've made a horrible mistake. Just a hunch.


Where did I call him a good person in that quote? I don't know him personally, I can't truly comment on that either way. However, Carr, Saban, Tua, etc have expressed sentiments leading me to believe that they view him as a good friend, and good person, and he has indeed set up charities and food drives for the less fortunate. These are facts. If that wasn't the case, then its highly doubtful that any of these guys would vouch for him at all.

And yes, what he did qualifies as a mistake. A very horrible mistake. Doesn't really matter if you are being willfully dumb regarding this. It is what is.

No one is arguing otherwise.

You need to take a break. You've gotten to the point of arguing points that no one is refuting. You just simply have a different interpretation of a word that, for whatever reason, offends you and have gotten to the point of thinking using that word is an act of condonation of what Ruggs did, something literally no one has done. Chill out

His first mistake seems to have been buying a car that powerful IMO

I have no sympathy for Ruggs in terms of what he did. He has a lot of consequences coming and he deserves those. He deserves prison time period. The entire thing makes me angry.

Has nothing to do with the fact you don't understand the meaning of the word mistake though.

It's like this guy doesn't think there are varying of degrees of mistakes or that people can make a series of catastrophic mistakes with tragic consequences. Calling something a mistake doesn't make what he did any less wrong.

Who cares ? He's the same dude that thinks driving 150 MPH on a public street is fine. And he loves to do it, now that more facts are coming out.

So, great. He donates to food banks. And he loves to hot-rod his car and burned a woman alive while driving 150 MPH.

Should all that charity work buy him an "indulgence" ? Won't make that woman feel any better. Because she's burnt to a crisp.

Well, shite. Mistakes happen, I guess.

No, it means just because he fricked up and ruined his life and the lives of other people, ending one, that everyone close to him shouldn't be expected to just abandon him and call him a POS. It also doesn't mean that because people make terrible decisions and do bad things that they've never done anything good for other people.

Driving drunk isn't a mistake. It's a choice.

Driving 156 mph isn't a mistake. That's also a choice.

A mistake is when the GPS tells you to turn right on the 2nd street and you turn right on the 1st.

Ruggs didn't make any mistakes. He made a series of choices that have costed 1 woman and a dog their lives, and will cost him his freedom and career.

Oh, yes - when he thinks he can run a car at 150 MPH on public streets - when we're all out there subject to his speed - he is indeed a piece of shite.

And defending him - which you all are doing at this point - shows you. The fricking guy burned a woman alive dragging his car at 150 MPH. Not much room for debate.

He can send the rest of his money to charity for the rest of his life. Does not matter. He is, by definition, a piece of shite until he dies.

It's easy to avoid "piece of shite until you die" status. Rule One - don't drive on public streets at 150 MPH. No good comes of that".

Mistakes, by definition, are actions that are misguided or wrong. All mistakes are choices made that have undesirable consequences. You can't make a mistake without first having made the conscious decision to take a certain action.

It’s heartbreaking. May this poor girl rest in piece. May her family find some sort of comfort. I couldn’t imagine loosing a family member in such a way.


This is probably the worst place in the world to discuss any serious issue, much less one that involved the loss of life.

No one should participate in a fricking semantical argument over this. Some lines shouldn’t be crossed. This place is essentially /pol/ for SEC football.

you're certainly entitled to feel that way, but you also shouldn't expect his friends and family to disown him.

It's not an oversimplification. It's a word with a definition.

If any of my kin did that to someone - I would disown them.

He is a nutjob on the streets - and he burned a woman alive. Anyone that "supports him" at this point ignores what he did.

Actions have consequences. He burned a woman alive - because he routinely drives like a fricking psycho because he thinks he can.

He doesn’t even understand the definition of grandstanding or that he was doing it.

He’s just here to troll.

That's quite the leap

no shite. Ruggs faces pretty dire consequences. What's your point?
