So, The Raiders QB Says Ruggs "Needs People To Love Him Right Now"

Cry Me A Fucking River!

He was a rich, entitled Professional Football player, driving his Overpriced Corvette at ONE HUNDRED FIFTY SIX FUCKING MILES PER HOUR, while intoxicated at TWICE THE LEGAL LIMIT.

Now a young lady with the rest of her life ahead of her, and her dog, are dead, while he's wearing a neck brace, and we NEED TO LOVE HIM!

How pathetic can you get. Nice to know you can take the life of an innocent, and still have friends supporting you.

Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Rogan.

Nothing left for Henry Ruggs.

and apparently a good one at least in this case. He opened by saying he’d suffered loss and that he felt for the victim and their family.

This is the kind of thing that fuels misinformation and anger online. Please post the entire statement. This is why I fact check everything I read. Even what is posted here.
Would anyone here turn on a friend or family member that did the same thing? I wouldn’t. Doesn’t mean I don’t want my friend or family member to pay the consequences.

I still believe my younger second cousin in prison for manslaughter, deserves my love.

The only context that matters to me, is the fact he was highly intoxicated, and driving at 156 mph. Either one of those by itself, would be bad enough, but his utter disregard for life resulted in the death of a young lady and her dog.

I guess I'm lucky in that I haven't had to face that circumstance with a relative or friend. Whether or not I still loved them is one thing I suppose, but coming out and saying it publicly, and basically asking others to show him some love, takes real cojones.

Never mind he talked about the families, his faith, to even assigning blame to himself

A horrific, thing has happened indeed. I find nothing wrong with anything this man said. I don’t think it’s fair to cherry pick one thing out of his entire statement
