“It has caused unspeakable, unthinkable, unimaginable despair, pain and suffering and deep grief, emotionally and physically, to me and everyone around me,”
Did someone die? I didn't see that part. Talk about a pity party. How does this guy get 8 years when no one died? If a WASP committed this crime and they had both died, the WASP would get 18 months in prison. In fact I know someone who was in a very similar accident caused by a drunk driver and it never hit the papers. Took him years to recover. Lost every tooth in his mouth. Why didn't we just string this guy up outside the courthouse and hang him? Considering the level of pain felt by the victims and the fact that they will never recover, I think hanging the man might have helped them feel better, at least for a day or so.
I can see your point Samlam. Of course it's hard to really know what's going on with this guy and the cop too, but it sounds to me like the guy has a mental disability/illness and he was nervous, scared, confused, etc. Did the car really have no brakes? Where are the kids now? Nobody reports the story from that angle. $700K bond, really? I think the court pounced on this guy, just like the cop probably did. Better make sure this guy isn't out driving through stop signs or near his kids at Christmas. No wonder we have so much crime and murder in this town.
Here's a thought. Instead of pulling out those same articles that the Vindy uses every three years and just changing the dates, could the Vindy ask the YSU administration for a little transparency? Can we see the details of the $9 million deficit and how it became a $1 million deficit? While we are at it, can we see the credentials of whoever came up with those numbers? Can we also see who actually has received raises, un-openly in the recent year and the justification for those raises? All the things that are hinted at in these comments. Could a reporter actually, you know, ask....ask the university.........some verewy scarewy qwestions?
Bertrum, I can't believe you would base your column on "rumblings".....rumors basically. But since you like to do that, base next weeks column on the reorganization the administration has planned for a certain division. Two people leave and they plan on hiring about 10 people to replace them. Some have even started receiving their new salaries before their new positions have been announced. These unions take all the heat, while administrators have their hands in the cookie jar, right at this moment. Bother to look a bit deeper, Bertrum, and give us a column worth reading....instead of your usual rantings about the unions.
Ivan is a thug and is most likely behind the comments that praise him here. Suing his victim is a way to get his mug in the paper. God forbid we should forget about him. Sure he was "nice". "Nice" to all his cronies....got them unbelievable pay raises, helped them commit fraud, filed grievances against their bosses, and even got them free tuition. ( Needed his wife's help on that last one.) His "knowledge" and "experience" should have been applied to his job....then he might still have one. In reality, he's done and so is his "Union".
Drunken driver will get prison, deported

Wow. I wish I could have an article in the paper everytime something brakes due to shoddy work, after more than a decade no less.

Sharon man faces charges in fondling of children in bowling alley
Stan,
This has nothing at all to do with homosexuality. This is molestation. Maybe you should slow down on the comments and read.
