I often go to the bar on Fridays after school with a few coworkers. After a few hours of drinking, I switch to coffee for an hour and a half.

Figure something ****ing out. And the 120mph thing seals my thinking here. The guy is a major douche and deserves a huge punishment here.

Sounds miserable. I just use a taxi service.

Yeah, according to this site https://dui.drivinglaws.org/utah.php, minimum jail time for 3rd offense is 1500 hours (2 months). Presumably 4th offense is even more.

Hope Spence gets the help he apparently needs. I listen to him and Gordon nearly every day on my commute home.

Thing is with Spence, he would always have strong and opinionated takes, especially when it came to human morality. Like I've said, he was my favorite radio guy in Utah, but I always knew he's 1) battled demons and 2) was still battling them.

He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his dad helped him with everything in life. Even after all of his screw ups, he still got a public sports job and actually excelled imo. I think his divorce, religion, being the rich guy's kid and cancer were his biggest demons. I hope he gets helps. I could totally see this dude committing suicide.
 
Im more stone cold sober than BYU, but I am far too familiar with alcoholism .

I cant help but think there can be better ways to help people for addictions and mental disorders than locking them up. Or by ignoring issues until a person does something worthy of being locked up.

I enjoy listening to Spence on the radio. I hope he has a support network to surround and help him. Hope he lets them.
 
He's clearly got a serious problem and hope he finds help. A fourth DUI while driving 120 mph is self-destructive behavior. I don't believe in punishment, really, and I don't believe in prison except for people who are a real risk to society. 4 DUIs and the reckless speed is a risk to society, and measures need to be taken so someone, including himself, does not get seriously hurt or killed. If they have already stripped him of his licence and he is continuing to drive, at some point jail time might be part of it at that point.

But as someone who has struggled with addiction I feel for anyone going through that. I hope he finds a path to a better life.

I think the caught rate is a lot closer to 1% than it is to 10%.

This.
I have been extremely lucky to never be caught. And I was extremely stupid to drive drunk so many times.
Haven’t done it years though at least. Having a child and Uber both made it something I will never do again and never need to do again.

I hear ya, I guess it just upsets me cause I worked forensics for 15 years and there was so many instances where bad things could've easily been avoided.

That’s some cool info that I didn’t know about you
