Like no one was ever arrested for being DUI... I'm not saying this is a good thing, but there's a big difference between being busted because you drank more than you should have had if you knew that you were going to drive and being an alcoholic. Sure, he shouldn't have had, especially given that this isn't the first time. But judging by the mugshot it looks like he was just a little above the specified limit and wasn't drunk. Does that make him a moron, a tool or whatever? No, and this comes from someone who never touches alcohol. Don't even try to minimize or excuse the fatally dangerous behavior of drunk driving. Especially for a repeat offender. Or what? Plus, did I minimize something? No, I just said that doesn't make him a moron, or a tool, or whatever the f*** you could call him. And when you don't know how much alcohol in his blood, I really don't know how you can judge someone who doesn't looks like he's drunk as hell. What is telling you that he wasn't simply at 0.06%? What is telling you that he had so much alcohol in his blood he could have killed someone/himself on the road because of it? Nothing. I'm not saying that's a good thing, I'm not saying he shouldn't be blamed, I'm just saying you shouldn't insult someone when you don't know how much alcohol he had in his blood. That's it.

To have so little regard for the health and safety for all he might come across that he does this yet again has me convinced that he is just a terrible human being. He has no excuse. Hell, it is not as though he cannot afford to get a cab either. He just does it because he feels he can do whatever he wants with no cares about the consequences of his actions. Would you still say these things if he killed someone as a result of this? Again, you DON'T KNOW how much alcohol he had in his blood. Why am I not insulting him? Because I just f***ing don't know. I just f***ing don't know if it's because he drank just a little more than he should have had or if it's because he was drunk as f***. Again, I'm not saying he shouldn't be blamed. I'm just saying that you shouldn't insult someone when you don't know the case. If I knew he was drunk and could have had killed someone then I would insult him as much as I can, the thing is: I-DON'T-KNOW.

Had he been under the legal limit, they wouldn't have arrested him, would they?

So if you're only a little bit above the legal limit that makes it OK?

I'm not saying that's a good thing, I'm not saying he shouldn't be blamed, I'm just saying you shouldn't insult someone when you don't know how much alcohol he had in his blood. That's it. I went out to have a drink with my friends a couple of times this past year (once to celebrate my successful thesis defense and another time to celebrate a friend getting published). I drove there and drove back, but only because I took care of business. I had one drink and we hung out eating snacks for 2 hours after having that drink. In other words, we all waited to leave until we had been hanging out long enough for our BAC to be 0.0 again. Those of us that had to leave before that took the bus there and back. That is what a responsible person does. Having something to drink is fine. Driving afterwards is unacceptable. You say he had no way to know what his BAC was, but the thing is that he knew how much he had to drink. He knew how long it had been since he drank. Those are all you need to get a ballpark figure. Having been arrested for this recently should have had him thinking this out. The fact that he did not indicates to me that he does not care.

Well it's not like the police pulled him over to say hi, and happened to notice he'd been drinking. He was seen swerving auspiciously from lane to lane, and they pulled him over and sure enough he was under the influence. I can't say for sure how much alcohol was in his system but from the sounds of it there was enough to consider it an act of stupidity to be on the road in that state.

You can get a DUI for smoking pot and driving, same thing with pills.
So maybe he wasn't drunk? Who knows, everyone makes mistakes. Kurt will probably lose his license for a year so that SHOULD prevent him from getting another DUI any time soon. Or possibly the judge will give him an ignition interlock which will definetly prevent him from drinking with any alcohol in his system no matter how little it is

Whether it's drinking and driving or doing moonsaults off of cages that could snap his neck, it seems like I'm saying "Dammit Kurt, stop it!" a lot.

Angle has been rather eventful lately, hasn't he? The twitter post where he said he was the best wrestler ever and anyone who disagreed was an idiot, claiming he received an offer from the UFC, complaining about his ranking in the WWE top 50, and now this. I still respect him though. And whats with everyone getting busted for alcohol lately?

At this point, I don't think anything is gonna stop Kurt from driving when he's Angle slammed.

I hope Kurt didn't try to hit the Anal Lock on anybody while in custody.

He drank. He drove. THAT'S it. Nothing else needs to be taken into consideration, especially for a repeat offender. He consumed alcohol and drove. Had he been under the legal limit, they wouldn't have arrested him, would they? If you want to insult someone, yes it does. (remember this all comes from someone who never drinks alcohol, never) Let's say you're at a family diner, you drink alcohol. The legal limit says two glasses, you take three glasses. You know it didn't made any difference in your body, you know you aren't drunk, you know you don't have any vision problems and things like that. Most important you know 100% that you can take the wheel and you won't have any problems to drive. You decide to take the wheel even if you're above the legal limit because you know 100% you aren't drunk and will be able to drive as if you had zero alcohol in your blood. Does that make you a moron? No. So if you're only a little bit above the legal limit that makes it OK? Yeah, that's why I already said three times he shouldn't have had. Christ...

Well an interlock is going to make him blow into it every 20 minutes or so of driving and if he doesn't the car shuts down. Also he won't be able to start the car without blowing in it. but I also understand your joke

People, unless one of you can provide ID that you are in fact Kurt Angle, take a step back and remember this isn't personally involving you. Leave the hurt feelings out of the thread.
