#Raiders #HenryRuggs #LasVegas
Free that boy henry. He ain’t do nun
Oh lawd he was just a child look here his baby picture
Never mind the fact that this guy was going 156 mph and crashed into somebody, but this POS didn’t even try to help the lady!
Andy Reid son did the same sh** & he still coaching gtfoh….
Free ruggs money talks in court sorry to all the soy emotional people.
This guy just showed to world how to go from the top to the bottom in less than 25 minutes! Way to go jerk!
Can he wear his mouth-guard in prison?
Sorry but that drinking while driving Union thing the NFL has where it gets a lot of trouble, they better not do it this time. 156 miles per hour, 2 times the legal limit? that is reckless endagerment and dangerous to yourself and others around you and he needs to be suspended and have his license suspended too
What’s crazy is that uf he gets 20 years he will be out and still have about half of his life left while this woman is gone forever
Don’t cry about it here. Talk to the people making laws. It is what it is
@Str8 Cash who’s crying? When I saw this notification it took me a few seconds to remember what it was because I had moved on due to the lack of effect it had on my life. I’m just stating a flaw and the fact that it’s unfortunate this woman cannot live her life but Henry will still be able to at some point.
You just can’t take the Getto out of some people. He can always play prison ball and tell his story of all the things he had before the lawsuit for killing that dog and it’s owner.
So racist remarks. Ok White man
@Str8 Cash God must love morons, he sure made a lot of them. I am not Male, and I am not White.
HaHA Henry’s family thought they were gonna get rich. GAME OVER AND FU!
Hey we LVPD don’t fool around like other cities, he will pay for this with maximum penalty, innocent person died
waiders
Defense needs Facts??? He was drunk and probably high at 150+ mph. There’s no defense for this not even at 75 mph..
R.I.P Tina
That is not a 156 mph crash? The media is twisting the story.
Rip to the lady, but 156 mile crash is what you see on a dragstrip which is fully secured with reinforcements and a rollcage. If this was 150 miles, that brick wall and the house would of exploded in flame causing instant death.
It was 156
@Angelo Lagrutta tell me, were you there or you heard or he or she said it was 156
@Jeoni Tao from every single news source and the catastrophic damage to both cars look at the damage and how mangled both cars are
As he should. He’s a clown, has millions not to mention the NFL literally gives players access to essentially ubers. Smh I don’t feel any remorse for him. He doesn’t and shouldn’t get any empathy.
We should be talking about the victims name not Henry. Respectfully let him rot
fr.. he had coaches teammates fuccun fly a jet home like cmon. RIP to the lady and her dog
Good for you
Reserve Judgement???
He just KILLED a woman’s and her dog!!!
She was someone’s child,someones friend….
Doesn’t all lives matter???
Drunk, 156 mph, loss of life, what other facts possibly matter?
Time to sober up for a minimum of one year… it’s the only thing left to do. If he can do that w/o infractions, pay restitutions, and just be a good boy, there’s some redemption and some healing with mercy.
Will prolly loose his DL for life.
GodSpeed
Hope he gets what he deserves! .. why is it that always the drunk driver escapes with out and injury
Three years probation
Raiders are waiting while they have their own investigation. He drove drunk he drove fast he killed an innocent girl and her dog. What more do you need RAIDERS
Why couldn’t this be Jackson Mahomo
If Ruggs had been the victim, this would be wall to wall coverage on sports media. Because they are paid by the NFL, it’s a one-day mention, with some shows not even covering it at all(The Herd, etc.) Meanwhile, cable news won’t touch it because they like to leave it to the “sports guys” to handle this type of thing.
Ah black people… they’re saints!
He’s going to jail for at least 10 years
Why everyone covering up he killed he freaking dog too.
So sad and avoidable situation. My prayers goes out to the lady’s family. May her and her dog rest in peace. However, he no business drinking alcohol and being drunk while driving, which is stupid. If I was drunk, I would have my friend who is not drunk to drive my car. He needs to be charge, go to jail and the football industry needs to be fired him.
Even Drunk ppl have some level of coherence. He should get 40 to life, he may not have hit anyone on purpose but he was speeding on purpose.
Who cares about Ruggs and the NFL ! He caused a woman to be trapped in her car and she was burned alive ! Overpaid little punk !
I’m hurt and sad for all involved. Truth is EVERYONE has done something that they would hate to have broadcasted on the front of a news paper. Having said that I will NOT comment rather I will be in prayer because Lord knows this world needs more GRACE. PRAYERS up for all involved…
I saw a car driving fast today, on a freeway 80mph, this guy was going 156mph, sorry but this guy should never be in thE NFL again, disgusting behaviour, and even on alcohol, and the NFL is helping him. Andy Reids son is blaming it on the kid, yes he pleaded not guilty, this is what Venus Williams and Jenner did, let’s see how this one tries to blame a woman who was burned alive
Its so sad! Just heart breaking ! Such a waste of a beautiful life.,including the poor doggie. Please everyone do not drink and drive. I know Vegas is a Party Town, but take an Uber or a Cab,or call a friend to get you, if you want to drink away from home. Its something you can never take back. 🙁 My heart goes out to her family and friends. Deepest condolences.
Las Vegas needs to Crack down on drunk drivers. New Haven, CT lost a police officer a month or so ago due to his peer driving drunk.
They will conduct their own investigation? Seriously??? RIDICULOUS! Isn’t it very obvious…..that lawyer is delusional.
VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER!
It’s so sad why would he drive like that that’s why you have Hotel room and Lyft you no to make sure people don’t drive drunking
46 years, His own actions caused this
He faces manslaughter, dude is going to jail, hopefully her family can catch up to him and get some street justice, eye for an eye
He 100% needs to be charged he’s a human just like everyone else just because he’s famous Dosent make him above the law he needs to be charged for the crime just because it’s an accident means nothing someone died because of his actions
This whole situation is sad! May she and her dog rip
The choices some people make, I swear…RIP!
Lawyers gonna say the RAV4 reversed in 155 mph at the Corvette and the dog drove the car..
He thinks that he is ABOVE the law. He went way, way, way OVER 100 mph! What was he doing? Here we are again. Hello! He needs to get 20 year plus period! He needs to give back to the family. He lives. She is NOT! The dog died too! Players have been told. DONT DRINK AND DRIVE. He KNEW the consequences. He has been told. We have been told again and again and again. He did NOT learn! NOT learn it be in HS. He did NOT learn in college. He did NOT learn in the NFL. Thus, LOCK HIM UP for life, life, life.
Senseless.
He’s done. DUI or not. He’s doing time ☑️
My wife and and 7 month old son take walks near by the area as we only live down the way, this is very sad .
Tell the lawyer to just take that wig off 😂
so am i understanding this right that he will get paid while he is in jail?
Driving over twice the legal limit, going 156mph in a 45mph zone, but his lawyer want you to reserve “judgement.”
We are being hunted down in the streets every day and just trying to escape. -LeExcuses James
Guy was very talented. So sad one stupid decision and it ended a life and his as well.
Just imagining that he was driving 76 mph *faster* than 80 mph…wtf, dude.
Surprised NBC is defending people drinking and driving – such a trash network. RIP to the poor lady and her dog who were killed
156 mph in a 45 mph zone?! That’s not a mistake… he was plain reckless!
1:33 what’s up with dudes hair 👀
This dude is all over the news while the media downplayed Brett Reid DUI crash on Superbowl that has left a 5y/o damaged for life … they keep has accident quiet for months before finally doing anything…smh
She burned alive
The drunk ones always survive smh
Very sad. They died in one of the worst way by fire!
Always, always, ALWAYS, Call Uber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I were the family of the woman who died, I would sue the NFL directly for $100 Billion Dollars and make the claim that the loss is a direct result of the NFL NOT holding it’s players to the “behavioral requirements” outlined in EVERY single NFL Player contract and that has created a culture of players who feel they can live by different rules. This is clear by the 156mph and is provable by the current Aaron Rodgers situation. Where the NFL was clearly aware of rodgers vaccine status and they CHOSE not to enforce it’s own protocols.
What kind of corvette was that? Rip to the victim 🙏
Looks like a C8.
SMH. He’s guilty, obviously. A woman BURNED TO DEATH after an accident HE CAUSED. And they still talk about him like he could only do 2 years? Or worried about his income from the NFL? It’s sick. Michael Vick got more attention than this is. Disgusting
Dude single handled ruined his entire life
Sympathy ONLY for the defenseless victim(s). Inexcusable and preventable crime, yes crime, not an accident. 20 to life
HE MOST LIKELY WON’T FACE CHARGES BECAUSE HES AN NFL PLAYER…. AND BLACK
DONT THEY KNOW IT’D BE RACIST TO CHARGE HIM!
HOWEVER I HOPE HE DOES GET WHAT HE DESERVES
Look at all that evidence. Idiots take pictures. Another way to keep the idiots employed.
How TF did HE not get killed in on impact?!?!?!?!?!
disgraceful; i certainly hope he feels absolute true remorse for his irresponsibility
He will get off like OJ Simpson
For what they’re worth, really worth … as an entertainment medium for the common Joe sitting on his couch with his Pabst Blue Ribbon … football players should be paid somewhere around $50 an hour. It’s hard work, but the product is only entertainment. Besides, the NFL has become a liberal patsy, so I don’t watch it anymore anyway.
you dont watch, but you still cry about it lol.
Rich and famous he will get by with it
He deserves 25max to life in prison!!!
10 years is a fair punishment for this. No more, no less
Thank God he trashed that C8! 👌🏽
He’s really shined a spotlight on what can happen when you drink and drive. I’m sure millions will think about this and think twice before they step behind the wheel. Who knows, overall, his situation and the public attention it has garnered, may save life’s in the end.
Why do we pretend the person who died doesn’t have a name? We name Ruggs but call the victim “one person” or “a deceased victim”. It’s Tina Tintor. She’s not famous but she’s still a real person.
Why is it that the person that causes the crash always the one that survives the crash?
Hope for Henry https://youtu.be/SMiUhc2YdV8
A young man from a small city Montgomery al to college in Tuscaloosa AL to now residing in Vegas as a 22 yr old. Small fish with a bag playing in a big pond. Dang man there weren’t any “No men?”
His life is OVER. Take ALL of his money and give it to Tina’s family! Put him away for life! No empathy, no remorse, no more Henry Ruggs III….buh bye.
AND HER DOG!!! THEY SHOULD ADD 5 YEARS FOR THE DOG TOO!!!
If Ruggs saw the vehicle catch on fire he should of helped and did everything possible to get the woman out of the vehicle .
Faces DUI charges + Murder charge!
Play stupid games win stupid prizes he chose to do that gotta live with it
DUI ? They forgot the 1st degree manslaughter charge. I guess the Vegas DA consulted with OJ over that.
“What does this mean for Ruggs?” How about what does this mean for the innocent life that was taken? 2 families devastated because of one bad decision.
