Appropriate response to homicide in San Antonio

Charges and bail seem reasonable to me.  Let us hope the sentencing is also appropriate.

Not that I can get much pleasure out of the perp's consequences.

Please, I am NOT blaming the victims, but an example of why I don't ride city streets during peak DWI hours.

Re: Appropriate response to homicide in San Antonio

Agreed.  Riding between midnight and 4:00am on Friday or Saturday night seems like a death wish.  I won't go out then, and I was really nervous when my wife came back at around midnight last Saturday.
