October 28, 20169 yr Everyone I know drinks and drives. Two of my friends have admitted to it in the past but others may have done it and just not said. Wish nobody would.
October 28, 20169 yr http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article111033967.html The Herald sues for release of autopsies and toxicology reports. The cite that since there's no one to charge, this should be a criminal investigation. I believe just because they can't file charges, doesn't mean a crime hasn't been committed. I don't see why they couldn't just wait for the investigation to end.
October 28, 20169 yr May Fernandez always be remembered as the great baseball player and the joyful human being that he was. But let’s do more than hero worship. Let his tragic death be a lesson, too. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article110932887.html#storylink=cpy Yep, that's right.

October 28, 20169 yr http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article110932887.html#storylink=cpy Yep, that's right. Excellent article. Hopefully something more comes of this.
October 28, 20169 yr Don't know, maybe they won't be able to. Its Possible Jose let his friend take the wheel for a few min, maybe his friend didnt know the procedure and cut across not knowing there was a jetti there.But maybe Jose should have been watching him. If I have to bet, id say Jose was in command of the boat that night. ie the pilot (behind the wheel)
October 28, 20169 yr Everyone I know drinks and drives. It's really so much more common in Miami. It's frightening, but when I lived there, I'd have agreed with your comment. Everyone I knew in Miami treated drinking and driving like it was nothing. I'd even hear people bragging about how wasted they were when they drove home. Not to say it doesn't happen at all outside of Miami, of course, but it seems so much less common. At least from what I've noticed, but that may be a product of just getting older.

It would certainly explain all the shitty drivers.
October 28, 20169 yr I wonder if the problem is much worse because Miami has shitty public transportation. Maybe not as bad as LA but it's one of the most car dependent metro areas in the US.

I think a lot of what has to do with this is that everything in Miami is so far from one another. Even taking an Uber or Lyft some place it's going to cost you $60 bucks (South Miami to Miami Beach). But obviously when I need to, I gladly pay because getting out of a DUI in minimum $10k. The thing is when I travel, using Uber and Lyft is so much easier and cheaper.
October 29, 20169 yr I wonder if the problem is much worse because Miami has shitty public transportation. Maybe not as bad as LA but it's one of the most car dependent metro areas in the US. Good point
October 29, 20169 yr It would be weird if this thread morphed into 50 pages about drinking and driving. So let's all do our part to keep that from happening.
October 29, 20169 yr Slater reporting Jose had Cocaine in his system as well as alcohol. Yeah they released the toxicology reports
October 29, 20169 yr Slater reporting Jose had Cocaine in his system as well as alcohol. Wow didnt see this coming. Knew he would be drunk but didnt think he would be taking drugs.
October 29, 20169 yr Must have just been a series of bad decisions that night, including the coke. Cant have taken it regularly otherwise he would have been caught by MLB testing during the season.
October 29, 20169 yr Somebody from Miami was taking cocaine? Next you're going to tell me that Colorado Rockies players like weed.
October 29, 20169 yr All I know is that the families of the other victims are going to make a good chunk of change in the upcoming lawsuit.
October 29, 20169 yr About to be a lot of finger pointing, families trying to sue. Damn does this tarnish all that he's accomplished?
October 29, 20169 yr Somebody from Miami was taking cocaine? Next you're going to tell me that Colorado Rockies players like weed. Hmm. What does that means? Cocaine is a serious drug that must be obtained illegally, most people in Miami don't use. There is no justification for this level of recklessness. He was totally irresponsible and costed him dearly
October 29, 20169 yr Slap in the face of the MLB drug testing program if you can take coke in the middle of the season. They are all cheating the drug tests, probably using other's piss.
October 29, 20169 yr Hmm. What does that means? Cocaine is a serious drug that must be obtained illegally, most people in Miami don't use. There is no justification for this level of recklessness. He was totally irresponsible and costed him dearly Dude, google some history on the city of Miami. It used to be the cocaine capital of the U.S
