Its just minor in comparison.
This man has brought hardship upon his family. But the level of that hardship, in comparison to the hardship he's brought upon 3 other families is minor.
There are...what...4 kids growing up without fathers? Two wives living without husbands? A couple have lost 2 sons on the same day? Sisters living without their brothers?
Okay, thats enough of that.
I'm pissed. He was drunk, sure, but...he wasn't 'raging drunk' he was barely over the legal limit.
What he was, was angry.
And for me? I cant wrap my head around that. I've never been that angry.
Theres a couple of guys riding their bikes on the side of the road. So what?
Just be patient and it'll pass.
This is like the textbook definition of a Senseless Tragedy.
But for the Gaudreaus?

In no way I’m defending the guy by saying this, but I don’t think there was intent to mow down the Gaudreau’s. It sounds like a case of raging and following the car ahead too closely to get them to speed up. Only problem was he didn’t see the Gaureau’s up ahead and when the car in front inevitably moved to the left he crazily wanted to pass on the right, hitting them. It’s crazy road rage that he’d want to pass on the right but I think most of us even if sober could not react in time. Regardless it’s a sad situation and a lot of whatifs in the coming years.
