Aldon Smith Arrested For DUI

So Eli only needed 2 seconds and he had somebody wide open.

The OC, refused to stick with what worked. Better qbs olines look better because dcs are afraid to get burned. The reality is Smith hurts every offensive player on the field.

pot calling the kettle Black …!!

Now you’ve gone and done it…

Same principle as eating pot vs smoking it. Drinking on an empty stomach you metabolize your booze quickly. If you have a bunch of bread in your stomach the bread is gonna soak up the booze and you’ll metabolize it as you digest it.

He’s lucky he didn’t kill anybody

only reason it wasn’t more was because he reached a financial settlement with the family.

Also spent 2 years house arrest and is serving 8 years of probation

We’re lucky to have him.

I appreciate the comment. It helps having a strong community contributing.

just kidding. He is our Harbaugh. You should see how we rally around him whenever someone is abrasive with him. NN is an awesome site. All of the writers are very good.

Everytime somebody that is a sh***y driver gets on the road they are putting peoples lives at risk. Poor drivers kill more people than drunk drivers.

I’ve never driven drunk.

And that’s BS that you have to be famous in order for it to be a big deal.
I’ve had plenty of family members arrested for DUIs, I’ve learned from their mistakes.

He used POOR JUDGMENT… NFL Player risking DUI arrest by mixing boos w/driving. GONNA MAKE THE HEADLINES, EVERY TIME… Doesn’t matter if he popped .081 and he’s the best driver on the planet. It’s still using poor judgment to put yourself in that position.

He’s not some anonymous young person… He’s Aldon Smith. And it’s not about whether or not he SHOULD be held to a different standard… Who cares about that. But the reality is, he IS held to a different standard whether he likes it or not.

I’ve seen this guy post under different names for several years.

I’m a big “smiler” myself, but people that do something wrong shouldn’t be smiling about it.

See BELOW…

And life ain’t fair, my man. I have much EMPATHY for those falsely accused, but ZERO empathy…

And the life ain’t fair thing, no one’s got the market cornered on that either… Completely non-discriminatory.

(…must be typing DRUNK again…)

I find it pretty easy, too.

He’s inaccurate, in regards to ball placement. That’s true as well. I support the team and I’d prefer he wasn’t on it. So, I will not support him until the inconsistencies are corrected.

Sooooooooooooooo sick of the LAME excuse “well see the thing was that I only had a lil’ bit an’ i didn’t think I’d pop a .08…”

BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH…

You pop a 0.081 and you RISK GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE. The law’s CLEAR. Doesn’t matter if you’re a good/bad driver, doesn’t matter if you actually are/aren’t fit to drive, etc.

Have a problem w/it? Fight the law. Crusade to get it changed. Whatever… Quit WHINING about whether or not life is FAIR or not… It’s NOT fair. Get over it.

I’m responding to James who said he’s putting lives at risk, when we don’t know the facts.

I didn’t say what happened was OK (even in my hypothetical situation). Am I being unreasonable when I say that someone who blows a 0.81 is “putting lives at risk”, just as much as someone who blows a 0.79 (under the legal limit)? There’s clearly varying degrees of DUI, and I don’t understand why people draw such a hard line with their judgement. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve the punishment, I’m saying maybe he doesn’t deserve such harsh judgement.

Can we just wait and see what the facts are before we accuse the guy of having total disregard for human lives?

That’s the point. The board lit up as if he has been convicted already.

Over the limit is over the limit. That’s putting lives at risk.

So… as soon as you hit that limit, you’re putting lives at risk? When Aldon was at 0.79, he was OK, but as soon as he hit 0.80 that means he’s putting lives in danger? I think you’re putting too much faith in the letter of the law. All it means is that he got a DUI (again, I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve it), but it doesn’t mean that he “endangered lives”. You don’t think it matters how much he was over the line?

I just think that is such an over simplification and I would prefer to know how bad his infraction was before I judge him and think of him as a horrible person.

0.078 or 0.087? A couple of ounces more or less make the difference? That last drink consumed just a little bit faster?

So unless you’ve really had just a SMALLLLL amount and you’re sure based on math and the laws of physics (or have one of those machines), you’re ROLLING THE DICE every time you drink and drive.

I’m not sitting here saying you’re ENDANGERING LIVES… Not at all. 0.07 or 0.085… Is the difference REALLY that huge? I don’t know. Not my area of expertise. But DON’T WHINE OR COMPLAIN OR SAY IT’S “UNFAIR” if you happen to get popped for DWI or DUI or whatever.

You risk that EVERY TIME you get behind the wheel unsure of whether or not you’re below 0.08 here in CA. Me personally? I simply won’t risk it, and not because of the SAFETY issue. I won’t risk embarrasing my wife and kids, my employer, my friends, potentially hurting myself career-wise, hurting my ability to be a role model for my kids and other people within my community, etc.

YOu risk more than just a DUI when you drink and drive. Potentially a lot more…

Good man, James.

And honestly rarely have I come across a poster who is as annoying as you. God, you are are a pretentious douche.

would joe staley picture goes up if he was arrested for a DUI, would his mug-shot be up there

as for this, I think that his mugshot would absolutely be put up on NN. I think ANY player on the 49ers would get this same treatment, black or white. Like you said though, we have differing opinions on the subject and that’s fine, we can agree to disagree.
