[@darreldash]

@lukesfx 🤓

[@Nikybeez]

Or it's interesting what people will do when they don't want to get in trouble. After thinking about it, he went back because leaving the accident would've gotten him into more trouble because his car was there, as well as witnesses. Had the cops been there before he could dip, he still would've been in flight mode and likely would've acted a little dumb about his personal info. It's just a reaction to save oneself from harm. It's what people do after the initial reaction settles down, and they can use rational thought that really shows character. Flight, fight, freeze, etc., can give an idea, but it's not always the truth(like freezing up doesn't automatically make someone a coward). The dude came back because he's smart. He made sure the cops acknowledged that he did not cause that accident. Regardless, he wasn't concerned for others as much as he was concerned for himself. That's not saying he didn't care, but it's a stretch to look at his choices and come to the conclusion that he is somehow the exact opposite of the drunk driver, having all the empathy in the situation for some reason.

Whether he was charged will depend on his priors, state/county statutes, etc. BUT, officers can influence sentencing by speaking with judges: in this case, I would guess the officers would say that he returned to the scene, was polite once he got there, showed concern for the others in the wreck, etc., which can help him significantly.

@@imstupidbut They don't fix it on their own, @richardhoffman2681 is right not punishing this man did him a disservice, their fate is cruel one in the end, believe me I know. I have an uncle who has been a drunk all his life, he's now dying a slow and painful death thanks to cirrhosis of the liver. Here's the kicker, he can get a liver transplant the doctor says, the only condition is he stop drinking. My uncle would rather die than stop. Let me be clear I have no sympathy for my uncle, my heart breaks for my mother and grandmother at the pain they will endure when my uncle dies. The guy in this video, how many more people will he hurt, or maybe kill? You don't try saving one person or let one person try fixing his addiction at the cost of potentially hurting or killing many more people.

Bless her for standing up for no license driver ♥️👍

[@JMarieCAlove]

And it was good he came back instead of hiding. The cop told him it’s ok, she knew he didn’t cause the accident but I don’t want him to drive without his license with his kids. He could rack up citations and his car towed away.

[@maxbang1813]

ER Doc here. ALWAYS get a medical evaluation. Even if you think you are uninjured. Our bodies go through shock and fight or flight mode of adrenaline. Please get checked out. Many injuries can show up later. Hope that the innocent people here are doing ok. Thank you first responders- ALL!

Goes double for an infant or young child, that is unable to communicate if or where they might hurt.

[@1packatak]

Getting checked will be covered by your auto insurance. You should not have to pay. And your insurance will then go after theirs for the costs.

[@someonesomewhere6671]

Guys, this is true...I hit the ground hard during a skydiving accident and literally felt FANTASTIC after it happened, like I was scared but definitely not feeling any pain even though I saw my ankle was shattered and the adrenaline made me feel like it was stupid to have the paramedics take me to the ER. It took a good 12 hours to finally feel the pain, the worst pain of my life. You may think you're fine but if I can have bones shattered and feel BETTER you could definitely have injuries from a car crash you won't know about until later. Go get checked out.

[@rainstorm9023]

It also matters for insurance, and can mean insurance will cover any treatment or physio for long term injury

[@rainstorm9023]

@@nugsin4 Their insurance pays. You also legally have to have auto insurance to drive, it's not an additional cost

[@MegaJarass]

This is my hometown! I remember hearing about this when it happened, but it's crazy to see the actual body cam footage of it all. I've driven through that intersection multiple times, the hospital is about a block away and right beyond those fences is an elementary school. Boggles my mind how easy the state of Wisconsin is on drunk driving, especially repeat offenders.

it amazes me how horrible the state of Wisconsin is with their criminals. Kid shoots a few people dead and turns himself in, cops let him go. Wisconsin was a land of Cheese, now its the land of murderers and drunkards

[@raymondhernandez]

It makes me sick knowing 100% he’s gonna do something more stupid and cause greater harm in the not too distant future. He’s only a small part of the problem. The legal system is messed up to allow him to get away with just a slap on the wrist. I think he should be locked up with felony for at least 2 years, and I think I’m being more than kind in saying this. That judge and prosecutor should be ashamed of themselves. 🤬

[@sharistrazz3313]

I CONCUR!! I even said he should have been charged with URINATING IN PUBLIC as well, JUST to add a better sentence to his case! 🤗🤭

[@geoh7777]

People need to realize that, with their govt. officials conducting their "war on drugs" with 10-year sentences for possession (while hurting no one), then releasing these dangerous, multiple-offense drunk drivers to remain on the road, the govt. officials want people dead and injured while not bearing any responsibility for their actions (other than possibly having their Big Guys at the top getting voted out after many years of causing damage to the people).

[@Creepystalker102]

@throwaway3873I mean, is that really too harsh? He could have sentenced that baby to a lifetime of disabilities. 15 years for who knows how many ruined lives sounds ok to me

[@periculo5037]

@Creepystalker102 i feel like you people just want to see him dead and i genuinely mean that. You dont know the man or his life. What hes gone through and the same goes for the mother and her kid

[@dreadedbasket2532]

Respect to the guy for coming back knowing his license was bad. It’s called taking responsibility. He went to get the owner of the vehicle to make things easier as far as paperwork and insurance and complied .

[@oxfordmontello3281]

A punishment like that and you wonder why these losers are never deterred from commiting crimes repeatedly? Really!?

[@wingerfan1]

What makes me really sad is that they only gave a girl a slap on the wrist that was drunk and almost killed myself and four other people. She totaled her car and then tried to flee on foot. DY offenses need to be taken a lot more seriously in the court of law. Just glad everybody in this case was OK and that the baby is fine.

[@DelphineTheWorstBladeEver]

I can't imagine how helpless being a victim of this is, and having the perp get away without any fitting consequence.

[@Fogest]

@@DelphineTheWorstBladeEver We are seeing the same thing happening in Canada too. It seems to be a 1st world country trend of going easy on criminals. It's even worse seeing repeat offenders like this guy still getting let off easy. This ultimately leads to more crime, and I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing mob justice style things happening more soon. If the justice system isn't going to deal with criminals, people may start taking it into their own hands.

[@AParticularlyConcernedCitizen]

@@Fogest That's intentional, once vigilantism takes off in full the government will use it as an excuse to crack down on law-abiding citizens. The criminals are bad, but going after them is probably going to end up making things even worse as you're attacking a symptom, not the problem.

[@jonnaosborne7234]

Even if you think you are not injured, ALWAYS go to the hospital to get checked out! Just to get it on the record if nothing else. It helps when you need to file charges and/or submit any insurance claims.
