Another rich, "entitled" asshole.

Bruce Springsteen faces drunken driving charge in New Jersey

HIGHLANDS, N.J. (AP) — Bruce Springsteen is facing a drunken driving charge in New Jersey.

Springsteen was arrested Nov. 14 in a part of the Gateway National Recreation Area on the New Jersey coast, a spokesperson for the National Park Service confirmed Wednesday.

The park is on a narrow, beach-ringed peninsula, with views across a bay to New York City. It is about 15 miles north of Asbury Park, New Jersey, where Springsteen got his start as a musician and bandleader and later made famous with his debut album, “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.”

Springsteen received citations for driving while under the influence, reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area. The spokesperson said Springsteen was cooperative.

Edit:

So...

"He's one of OUR guys, so he gets a pass."

If the DUI driver was Kid Rock or James Woods, he'd be condemned to hell.
But since he's on "OUR side," he gets a mulligan?

No doubt if this is his first, (and it sound like it is,) he'll get a fine and his driver's license will be suspended for a month or so.
Here in Sheboygan it's 3 month suspension and a $700 fine for 1rst DUI.

I have a legitimate grudge against drunk drivers, as I said.

1. how does this make him entitled?

No seriously, I am not being obnoxious...I really want to know what would have happened to an average citizen in this situation.

[hlthe2b]

2. Seems like he's facing the "music," so-to-speak--not trying to evade repercussions

So, while I don't condone is DUI, how does that make him an "asshole?" Much less an "entitled" asshole?

12. Think about it.

"Hey, I've really got a buzz going on, but I'll drive anyway..."

Yes, I do have a major-league grudge against drunk drivers, 3 of my family were injured and almost killed by a rich lawyer, who was driving drunk.
Who in subsequent court proceedings, pulled just about any and every trick possible to get away with it, including blaming my relatives for the accident, that clearly he had caused, running a red light and T-boning my relatives' car.

There no longer is any excuse for drunk driving.

Rich or poor, no more excuses.

[hlthe2b]

14. I very very very clearly stated I do not condone DUI. You claim he was entitled even though he

has done nothing to avoid the consequences. SO, if you are making the case that he is an entitled asshole, it falls to YOU to show where and what he has done to avoid facing the very real consequences of his irresponsible behavior. Otherwise, he is no different from any other person-- rich celebrity or poorest of the poor-- who makes a similar serious mistake.

[USALiberal]

33. Lol, one rec, what does that tell you?

[BannonsLiver]

3. So everyone who gets a DUI is entitled and wealthy?

What a silly OP.

[LizBeth]

4. Poor unentitled get dui too. I mean, he got citations. "Another rich, "entitled" asshole." ??

[Turin_C3PO]

5. Ok, he made a stupid mistake.

Why is he, as you say, an entitled asshole?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. I actually feel bad. He's somebody I respect and he did a dumb and dangerous thing.

I seriously doubt he intended to drive inebriated.

[dubyadiprecession]

6. Now I will look at Springsteen in the worst possible light!

[Demsrule86]

23. People make mistakes. I think sometimes,

We can be very harsh and unforgiving.

[Shermann]

7. The Boss is a strong Biden supporter...let's not cancel him just yet nt

[Loki Liesmith]

8. Settle down

People fuck up. It happens. Deal.

[jcgoldie]

9. Bruce Springsteen is absolutely not a "rich entitled asshole"

He obviously made a mistake, but he has supported Democrats and the causes that matter to us for many years. He not entitled nor an asshole. If you fail to realize that then you should pay attention.

[demtenjeep]

11. um okay

still backed Biden and made a beautiful ad

[Bluepinky]

13. If it happened to a Trump, we would never hear about it.

A Trump would threaten to sue or harm a police officer who stopped him/her for a DUI. A Democrat owns up to his/her mistakes; this is called personal responsibility, which many Republicans don’t have.

[Wicked Blue]

15. The peninsula is called Sandy Hook

in case anyone is interested.

[bedazzled]

27. twin lights

my favorite place in the world (so far...)

[Wicked Blue]

29. You need to visit Island Beach State Park, just south of Seaside Park. nt

[bedazzled]

30. i have heard that is beautiful...

hopefully someday i will be able to get out of florida and return! new jersey has it all over florida. even with the snow!

[Wicked Blue]

31. I'm hoping to move back to NJ in a couple of years too

Maryland is beautiful, but it doesn't have real diners. And the nearest beaches are 150 miles away.

[NNadir]

34. To this ex-Californian, ex-Long Islander, now Long time New Jerseyan, New Jersey is...

...the best place on Earth, but shhhhhhh...we don't want everyone moving here. Let's not Californicate New Jersey.

We use Island Beach all the time. Nice place. It's too bad that we're going to convert the coast into an industrial park for wind turbines though.

[fishwax]

38. good call on IBSP--definitely one of my favorite places

[Dream Girl]

16. Not too judgmental are we?

[whathehell]

17. Springsteen get's one DUI, and this makes him a "rich entitled asshole"?

He's around 70 years. old and this is the first I've heard of any legal issues on his part -- He certainly does NOT have anything like a "record" of bad behavior..He not only supports Biden, but he's been an outspoken democrat since the Reagan Administration.

[Archae]

20. Is it just one?

Don't forget also, all those who drove drunk a number of times before getting busted.

I just have no sympathy for anyone driving drunk.

[Demsrule86]

24. Both my husband and my brother got DUI's

Years ago. And I would bet some-here shocked and harshly judgmental in this matter have driven home and could have gotten a DUI but didn’t get caught.

[maxsolomon]

25. He's only charged with one, per your link.

You're saying "where there's smoke there's fire", then?

How many should he be charged with?

[whathehell]

39. As far as I know -- Do you know otherwise?

You don't, of course, though you are it seems, quite anxious to assume the worst.

It's not a matter of "sympathy", it's a matter of restraining the impulse to judge and demonize.

[global1]

18. So That's Why In His Jeep Commercial He Was The Only Moving Vehicle....nt

[Greybnk48]

19. He was probably out where he used to go as a teen with friends,

reflecting and celebrating the defeat of the giant, orange hog. He made the mistake of thinking he could drive after drinking, which at this point in time, is really stupid.

EVERYONE should know better than to drink and drive. But he's human like the rest of us.

[nolabear]

21. What's rich and entitled about it?

He fucked up, he got caught, he cooperated, he’ll pay.

Why the hate?

[ornotna]

22. derp

[ace3csusm]

26. DOnt most DUI's get arrested and are not allowed to drive home after citiation

They usually get processed and have to pay a bond to get out ... All the videos ive seen once you pop .08 or u fail street test or refuse to take test ...it a trip in squad car and vehicle impounded. I am a Fan of his also but some are correct we all make mistakes but did he get special privilege sure sounds like it almost all DUI suspects get that $10k cost of DUI...

[Klaralven]

28. The locals probably would have given him a warning, but he was busted by the Feds

On Nov. 14, 2020, Springsteen was cited for DWI, reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area at Sandy Hook, in the Gateway National Recreation Area at the northeast tip of Monmouth County.

Criminal charges at New Jersey federal parks are typically heard in Federal Court in Newark.

37. Sandy Hook is so inviting. Next time he should drink iced tea.

[USALiberal]

32. Lol, did he do something that made you mad?? Nt

[Archae]

35. Edited...

[flotsam]

36. I'd disagree and argue with you

But in point of fact I enjoy most of your posts and you do seem to have cause to disagree with the practice. And also it looks like others already rode you hard and put you up wet...

[misanthrope]

40. Considering how many LEOs he pissed off with "41 Shots"

I'll reserve judgement on his behavior until more info surfaces. I've already heard unsubstantiated talk that his blood alcohol level was 0.02.

[LizBeth]

41. It is said the man blew .02, in case you have not seen it yet. And no, it is not he gets a free pass

It is calling the man entitled because at 71 he was cited intoxicated. Now we find out .02.

That would be about all of us having a glass of wine at a dinner out.

.02.

Entitled?

[Archae]

42. If it is just .02, then I can't help but wonder why he got busted.

[LizBeth]

44. Maybe the cop thinks he is a rich entitled, .... old "Hollywood" liberal?

[BannonsLiver]

43. "He's one of OUR guys, so he gets a pass."

In a word: YES.

[LizBeth]

45. Nuh uh, Democrats have taken down a lot of Democrats cause... Weiner was one of ours. So many more.

[BannonsLiver]

46. Oh you mean like Franken?

Nah, I give Bruce a pass. And I reserve the right to give others I like a pass too.

[LizBeth]

47. Ya. That would be another of many.

[BannonsLiver]

48. Except that one was a huge own goal by Dems

The mob mentality was really gross, too.
