The "But I'm Rich & Privileged" Defense still works.
the opposite of the usual "product of my environment" defense.

16yr Old Boy Kills 4 in DUI (.24 BAC = 3x legal limit) - Could face upto 20 years in Prison, but....
He claims that his parents raised him to to believe that living a Life of Privilege means you have NO Consequences.... Judge apparently agrees and lets him off with probation. Justice Served!? WTF?

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - A teenager who killed four people while driving drunk has been sentenced to probation.

Prosecutors were pushing for 16-year-old Ethan Couch to spend 20 years in prison.  However, State District Judge Jean Boyd sentenced Couch to a decade of probation.

There was no debate about who was behind the wheel last June, when Couch plowed into and killed four people.  Couch has admitted to being the driver, and court records show his blood alcohol level was .24 at the time of the crash, three times the legal limit for an adult.  Prosecutors also presented evidence that Couch and some friends stole beer from a Burleson Walmart on June 15, the night of the crash.  After consuming the alcohol, Couch and seven others got back into his pickup to go to another store.  During the trip, he hit four pedestrians, killing them.  Two teens riding in Couch’s pickup were thrown from the truck and severely injured.

Couch’s attorneys argued his parents were responsible for the teen’s actions that night because of the way he had been raised.  Defense attorneys put a psychologist on the stand who testified Couch was a product of wealth and got whatever he wanted.  The psychologist also testified the teen was allowed to drink at a very young age and began driving at 13 years old.  Defense attorneys argued Couch needed treatment, not jail and suggested a facility that costs almost half a million dollars a year.

A 16-year-old boy who drunkenly killed four people got probation this week because the judge — with no apparent irony — agreed with the boy's defense that he was a victim of "affluenza," whose parents taught him wealth and privilege shield consequences. The teen had faced up to twenty years in prison.

Sixteen-year-old Ethan Couch admitted to four counts of manslaughter after he and seven other boys stole alcohol from Walmart, piled into his car and struck and killed four pedestrians while going 70 miles per hour in a 40 zone. One of his passengers remains in the hospital with severe brain damage, and nine other bystanders were also injured.

Couch's BAC was a .24 and he also had Valium in his system. According to reports, he was belligerent at the scene, at one point saying, "I'm outta here." Prosecutors were hoping to get up to 20 years.

Couch's defense was that he was a victim of his parents' wealth and privilege; in that he never had to face consequences, which an expert summarized prior to sentencing.

and it's not his first time being in trouble....

He said Couch got whatever he wanted. As an example, Miller said Couch's parents gave no punishment after police ticketed the then-15-year-old when he was found in a parked pickup with a passed out, undressed 14-year-old girl.

Miller also pointed out that Couch was allowed to drive at 13. He said the teen was emotionally flat and needed years of therapy. At the time of the fatal wreck, Couch had a blood alcohol content of .24, said Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson. It is illegal for a minor to drive with any amount of alcohol in his or her system.

So he was drunk, high on pills, speeding, had 2 people in the bed of his truck.
-That so far is a hefty fine and a loss of license till he is likely 18 or older depending on the state.

On top of that he stole liquor from a Walmart and no on in the car was 21 years old.
-So we have theft and minors in possession. definitely a hefty fine and some probation there. possibly some juvy time with the above offenses added on.

Then he struck 4 pedestrians, killing all 4, and ejected the 2 kids in the bed of the truck out, leaving one with severe brain trama and the other in a serious condition.
-That by itself is vehicular manslaughter, especially when under the influence. There is no way this kid should not have been locked in Juvenile hall till atleast 18 yrs of age and then maybe served 1+ year in prison and out no later than when he was 21.
On top of that he should have to pay restitution and take mandatory drug and alcohol abuse classes while being on an alcohol probation for the first 2 years out of prison (or of age to drink - depending on how much time was actually served).

James Bond is an 'impotent drunk'

Vodka martini, "shaken not stirred" - often said as part of a bad Sean Connery impersonation - is one of the most quotable lines from Bond.
Yet Her Majesty's top secret agent's love of the bottle would leave him impotent and at death's door.
Doctors analysing the Ian Fleming novels show James Bond polishes off the equivalent of one and a half bottles of wine every day.

They say he is not the man to trust to deactivate a nuclear bomb.
Doctors in Derby and Nottingham sat down to read the 14 Bond novels in their spare time.

With a notebook at hand they charted every day and every drink.
Excluding the 36 days Bond was in prison, hospital or rehab, the spy downed 1,150 units of alcohol in 88 days.

It works out at 92 units a week - about five vodka martinis a day and four times the recommended maximum intake for men in the UK.
The doctors' report in the festive edition of the British Medical Journal concluded: "Although we appreciate the societal pressures to consume alcohol when working with international terrorists and high stakes gamblers, we would advise Bond to be referred for further assessment of his alcohol intake."

Patrick Davies, a consultant in paediatric intensive care at Nottingham University Hospitals, told the BBC: "You wouldn't want this person defusing a nuclear bomb.
"He's a very glamorous person, he gets all the girls and that's totally incompatible with the lifestyle of an alcoholic, which he is."

He said Bond would be classified in the "top whack" of problem drinkers and would be at high risk of liver damage, an early death and impotence.
"So he might be practising safe sex after all," said Dr Davies.

From Russia with vodka

He also had a "Drink and Let Drive" habit after consuming 39 units in Casino Royale then crashing in a high-speed car chase and needing two weeks in hospital.

On his biggest bender, Bond had 50 units in a single day during From Russia With Love and only 13 days in all the novels were free of the sauce.
Charting James Bond's drinking habits with age, he starts off drinking heavily in Casino Royale (1953) before seemingly starting to get his life in order as he heads towards Goldfinger (1959).

However, his intake starts to soar again and peaks at 132 units a week in You Only Live Twice (1964).
The researchers argue this may be a response to the death of his wife a year earlier in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

They say the study is light-hearted, and did not interfere with their day jobs, but raises an important message about alcohol.
Excessive alcohol consumption is thought to cause 2.5 million deaths every year around the world.

"The level of functioning as displayed in the books is inconsistent with the physical, mental, and indeed sexual functioning expected from someone drinking this much alcohol," the doctors said.

Breaking Bad the Real Life Finale: Walter White Arrested for Meth
not just 1, but 2 Walter White's cooking/dealing Meth


http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/12/18/breaking-bad-real-walter-white-sentenced-for-meth/

Walter White isn’t just the protagonist from Breaking Bad: There’s a real guy in Montana with the same name, and like his more famous counterpart, he’s also in the meth business.

Walter Jack White was sentenced to 12 years in prison Monday on methamphetamine trafficking and firearms charges, the Billings Gazette reports. But unlike on AMC, the real White’s son is named Brandon, not Walter Jr.

After a shootout, authorities found 32 pounds of meth in White’s home. Authorities say he is part of a group of dealers responsible for bringing meth to Billings to distribute in the Bakken oil fields.

And our bonus Walter White 2

]

These are the words of the real-life Walter White from Bessemer, Alabama.

In 2008, when the popular TV drama Breaking Bad broke on to screens around the world, Walter White was already a known name in the heart of the American south's drugs trade.

From 1988, the drug maker who shares the same name with the main character in the 10-time Emmy award winning TV show was cooking and selling metamphetamine across his own county.

In a video documentary with VICE online, White, 55, explained the ups and downs of his adventure into drugs.

Working with a partner, like Walter White in the show, he claims he made the purest meth around.

On tonights episode of home improvement an Austin man decided he wanted to do something to get his place "all fired up"
http://www.kvue.com/home/Crews-on-scene-of-North-Austin-apartment-fire-238888321.html

The Austin Fire Department says a townhome fire that broke out in North Austin was caused by a maintenance worker trying to unfreeze water faucets with a blow torch.

Well the guy next door was trying to blow his hot breath on his pipes but accidentally got his tongue stuck, so it's a good thing his neighbor was the idiot that almost burned the place down, because the Firefighters came over to check on all the other tenants and that's how they discovered him. Lucky guy.

[pokepal148]

We know exactly what we are doing, what the place is on fire? that's your imagination

Ever been bullied to death!? This Oklahoma man has.... literally.
http://m.newsok.com/man-killed-by-underwear-suffocation-in-pottawatomie-county-oklahoma/article/3921864

McLoud police and Pottawatomie County deputies were called about 10:10 p.m. Dec. 21 to 4 Shadow Lake. Davis said he and St. Clair fought, and he thought St. Clair was dead, according to a probable cause affidavit.

When authorities questioned Davis, he said St. Clair asked him to come over for drinks. The men began arguing and Davis told officers that St. Clair “came at him,” and they began exchanging blows.

Davis told investigators that he hit St. Clair's head, causing him to lose consciousness.

Then, Davis said, he grabbed his stepfather's underwear and gave him an “atomic wedgie” by pulling the underwear over his stepfather's head.

“I'd never seen this before, but when we first looked at our victim seeing the waistband of his underwear was around his neck,” Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth said.

Death by Atomic Wedgie (underwear pulled up from the back and over your head). 1000 ways to die just came up with number 1001. Time for a new episode.

Talking Parakeet Tells Cops Owner Is ‘Drunk'

There's a reason dogs are considered man's best friend -- they're obedient, protective and, unlike parakeets, won't rat you out.

Mexican motorist Guillermo Reyes learned this lesson the hard way last week when he was stopped at an alcohol checkpoint in Mexico City.

"He's drunk, he's drunk," a voice chirped from inside Reyes' vehicle, according to Spanish-language newspaper El Universal.

The voice, as it turned out, belonged to the man's pet parakeet.

The brainy bird apparently knew what he was talking about, as police say Reyes failed a subsequent breathalyzer test.

When animal control officers arrived on the scene, they discovered that the bird and his owner shared a very close bond. Concerned the animal might die if the two were separated, authorities decided to jail them together.

Man and bird were taken to the El Torito jail, where they were held together until the following day, the New York Daily News reported.

In all fairness to the man's mouthy feathered friend, police officers would have asked Reyes to take a breathalyzer test with or without any input from his bird. That's what Reyes likely hopes, anyway
