Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

Thankfully, you and your family are unhurt. Sorry to see the damage to your vehicles.

As for the piece of s**t who did the damage, we all can imagine what you'd like to do to him.

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

ouch, that really sucks... atleast he didn't kill anyone. I would get a lawyer involved and be sure to blame him and the city (cop that let him go). I hate to sue but I think you have reason to be a little upset with them....

you know his insurance, if he has any, will lowball any reapirs or replacements on your cars...

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

I hope they hang him. He had a gun in his van and he was drinking. That spells big trouble. Get a lawyer, it sounds like he will be put under the jail.

That really stinks. Glad nobody got hurt, that was probably about the nicest original Burb I've ever seen. Hopefully justice will be served..........

Re: Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

UPDATE 12/3/07 3pm I spoke with the LT. from the PD and WOW!!!! They admitted the mistake and have suspended the officer for 3 weeks without pay. The board had recommended removal. the PD was able to keep him because of the Academy spoke highly of him and he being a newly sworn in officer(few months ago). The PD is sending a message to the others about this action and hopes it will be heeded. WOW!! I am glad he did not lose his job(in a way...) I know, I know, I am a whimp, but I put myself in his shoes and I would be greatful for a second chance. I hope this will make him focus about his career and 20 years from now make him say wow! I almost blew it.(sappy I know, but its Christmas).

well next step is to meet with the Risk Mgt. dept for the City and get all paid for. (I am not holding my breath, so my outlook might change from what I stated above......

I met another board member(greasemonkey) in the Grocery store parking lot, and MAN what a spotless 69 Chevy, bright orange. his daily driver. WOW! I can only dream. HeartRob would have been impressed(I think)


THANKS!!!!!!!

THANKS!!!!!!!
Maybe the three weeks of money the city saves from not paying the officer should go to you mvpco.

Just a thought.
