Really hard to know what was going through his mind and what the medication did for his decision making. I'm not saying he should be excused for being impaired behind the wheel but society loves to see celebrities crash and burn and I don't feel we need to rake him over the coals for this as he made a mistake and fortunately the police could intervene before any harm could be done to anyone.

Tiger Woods operated a motor vehicle while impaired by prescription medication. Full Stop. Period. The law should treat him accordingly.

What the hell is wrong with some of you? Where did I say it's okay that he was driving impaired? Seriously where? Also where did I say he should be treated differently by the law? I even stated that I don't believe he should be excused for being impaired behind the wheel. All I'm saying is that there was no tragedy and he doesn't need to be vilified here as I've seen people looped on medication and that doesn't make them bad people and I don't think it's fair to say that he purposely took too much of his medication just to get high and have some fun when none of us know if it was just a reaction or him popping one pill to many to ease some back pain.
