Can anyone provide a better term than mistake? I am happy to call it something else.
Blunder?
Error?
Oopsie?
Gaff?
Misstep?
Miss-calculation?
Oversight?
Transgression?
Pecadillo?
Misdeed?

There is another video of Ruggs driving well over 100 mph while a girl was screaming to stop and let her out. IT was not a mistake he was driving 158 in a city street. It was intentional and illegal for more than one reason, which leads me to believe he should or could be charged with 2nd degree murder.

Oh man, the amateur Henry defense team is about to jump your arse.

His girlfriend was actually laughing in that video while he was driving like that

well, you'd be wrong about the could part. He was trying to be reckless, he wasn't intending on killing someone. 2nd degree murder requires intent. And that's a good thing because DUI resulting in death does not require the state to prove intent. It's a strict liability offense. All the state needs to convict is prove he was drunk, prove he was driving drunk, and prove he caused a death while driving drunk. If they had to prove intent, he could walk. Is that a better outcome for you?

no shite. Ruggs faces pretty dire consequences. What's your point?
That the word his defenders keep using - just a "mistake" - doesn't apply. It's the word wrongly applied.
It's like saying Hitler made a "mistake".
And look, I can do this all day. Y'all can, I can. I'm just that stubborn.
Tooling around at 150 MPH and burning a woman alive is not the same as mis-matching socks. Regardless of the semantics. We all know the damn context. Context matters.

A girl died. You are laughing. You don’t seem to have the capacity to separate an anonymous football message board and reality.
I understand this site has no decency or decorum but this is a line I’m not willing to cross. You have no problem using a tragic death to troll.

I hate people who hold others hostage in their cars. I've been on the other end of that shite.
But as for the rest, words have meanings and laws are made for specific reasons. If they charge him with 2nd degree murder, you're just asking for him to go free.

Yeah - Manslaughter. That's what he did. Let's call it that.
Negligence so fricking bad that it's criminal. Give me two words, and I'll come up with something better.
What he did was far, far worse than a "mistake". Which is why some here are so damn insistent on calling it that.
They know - words matter.

calling it a mistake is just using a word, a word that actually fits the definition of what he did. There are also other words to describe what he did, in addition to mistake, but again, you think calling it a mistake is condoning his actions or minimizing them. It's not doing either, so you really need to stop with the self-righteous bullshite. Everyone knows Ruggs did something horrible. Everyone agrees he should be punsished severely. Everyone feels horrible for the victims and her family. That doesn't mean calling what he did a mistake (and by definition it was a mistake) is, in any way, defending him. You're arguing with yourself at this point and continuously making points that literally no one is refuting.

no one said it was. You do realize that some mistakes are worse than others right? That doesn't make one thing a mistake and the other thing not a mistake. Maybe try to understand the english language a little better before getting bent out of shape over nothing.

Yeah, but that's just because you can't find any examples of an LSU player doing something like this.

Homicide
Reckless endangerment
The point he's trying to make is that "mistake" doesn't quite do justice to what he did. It sounds dismissive. It sounds minor.
The fact that he regularly drove at dangerous, reckless speeds shows this wasn't a mistake. It was habitual. The speeding habit was the real problem. The alcohol turned his dangerous, reckless habit into something deadly.
He routinely put other people's lives in danger, and ended up killing someone.
He's a criminal who finally got caught.

Which you won't - because that's the point. Some of you want to defend Ruggs. Fine - let's play.

Some lines shouldn’t be crossed. You are ok using a death like this to troll, I’m not. You can justify it, minimize it, or rationalize it however you want.
May this poor girl rest in piece.
