I agree with what you say TD - but as a Bills fan I'm actually happy this happened because we need all the help we can get on offense.

But yes most of us would be sent to Attica under similar circumstances.

c'mon, Attica?

It is rare to get a jail sentence in a hit and run with no serious injury.

I can't believe he was only fined $100. I was fined almost double that for speeding.

Re: Marshawn Lynch loses license, fined $100

OK, how many of you actually live in Buffalo and watched the news?? I think that narrows it down to me, Thurm and Lecter. Here is what was said on the 10:00 news Friday night.

1. The DA's office even said that most hit and runs are never solved.
2. The DA's office further said that most hit and runs in a manner like this never result in any financial penalty or traffic infraction.
3. It was reported that Lynch will now be sued in civil court.
4. No video tape of the incident exsists nor were their any tape or pics showing Lynch as the driver.
5. There were two witness to the accident. One claims that "the driver" tapped the brakes after the collision. The other claims that "the driver" did not tap the breaks after the collision.
6. The DA's office further concluded that many cases never even get this far.
7. Finally, he may face further penalty from his employer (the NFL). "Average" people don't face penalty at their job because of their off the job behavior.

Bottom line? Lynch was fined more than other drivers would have. Lynch has had his license revoked where other drivers would not have. Lynch will now be sued in civil court whereas other drivers would not have. And he may face reprocussions at work whereas other drivers would not have.

I am in no way defend his actions but for all the complaining about special privildge in this situation ML was apparently "over" convicted.

Guys, feel free to please discuss this now that you have some real facts.

I'm sure Lynch, the Bills, the DA, and that woman that he hit are all getting back to their lives now that this is finally over, I just wish some of us here would do the same because what's really the point of being bitter?

Re: Marshawn Lynch loses license, fined $100

Some are actually upset he didn't get more.

He didn't "get away" with anything. There wasn't any evidence to convict him of more.

Who cares what would have happened to you ( "if it was me.." ) . I'd root for a Turkish prison if it was you, just for posting such dumb crap.

Re: Marshawn Lynch loses license, fined $100

If it were my mother/wife/daughter, I'd be pissed at them being out at 3:30 AM. Most times, bad things happen when people are where they shouldn't be, and the same goes for Lynch. But I'd probably listen to some slick lawyer and play-up the whole thing, just to score a fat settlement check. That wouldn't mean however that I necessarily thought, or cared, that he was guilty.

And save your "probably drunk" for the time when there's any evidence at all of him even drinking that night, much less being drunk behind the wheel.

Nice hypocrit statement.

Average people would have been arrested that night.

Lynch has had his license revoked where other drivers would not have. .

License revoked is really not that big of deal.

Lynch will now be sued in civil court whereas other drivers would not have.

Go hit someone and see if they will sue you. This day and age anyone will sue for anything.

And he may face reprocussions at work whereas other drivers would not have.

No one is talking jail sentence.

Spending 1 night in jail after committing a crime is not a sentence. Most of us would have been arrested and jailed for the night.

Learn the facts, or your opinion is worth a big heaping pile of jack doodly squat.

Facts are, special treatment. And it's funny as hell watching some people stick up for it.

They had to indict him before he could have been arrested, same way for any other Joe Blow out there.

Wrong.

So when you get pulled over and arrested/charged with DWI you are indicted?

[casdhf]

Re: Marshawn Lynch loses license, fined $100

That's a completely different crime. If he was arrested for DWI, he would have gone to jail that nite like any other play has in the history of the league.

So please don't say you have to be indicted to be arrested.

That night he should have been arrested for hit and run. Just like any "average" person who have been.
