Mookie Blaylock on life support

Hope he makes a full recovery or at least recover enough to spend his time behind bars for driving on a suspended license and vehicular homicide.

People who drive on suspended or revoked licenses deserve mandatory jail time. Those who do it which leads to a death of another deserve long prison sentences.

 

I'd read something about the possibility that he'd been known to have seizures. But if he's driving on a suspended license, the seizure excuse becomes moot to me and vehicular homicide is the right call, seizure or not.

Ridiculous in its hyperbole.

 

Maybe Oscar has come to a more enlightened conclusion since he posted
that 18 Months ago.

Doubtful we will know though since he has not signed on in 6 months. Likely
has flown the coop.

 

Ha, I didn't even notice how old his post was.

 

I would say it depends on why the license was suspended or revoked for there to be mandatory jaiil time.

If it was for not paying a speeding ticket, heck no. If it was for multiple DUIs, absolutely.

 

Agreed. That's why the hyperbole was so ridiculous. I admit to (unknowingly) driving on a suspended license because I didn't pay a ticket. The fact that I got a speeding ticket in a different state and later misaddressed the payment after losing the original ticket was hardly worthy of mandatory jail time.

 

The article stated he was being treated for a seizure disorder and his license was apparently suspended by medical order.

 

Yup, and he's paying the price, as is the victim's family. But Oscar stated way back when that anyone driving on a suspended license deserves mandatory jail time, which is ludicrous when you consider all the various reasons that a license can be suspended.

 

How old was that video of him in court in the wheelchair? Was that from today? What's the current state of his health?
