I know bartenders deal with a lot, and everyone is responsible for themselves but to allow someone to have SIXTEEN shots is also irresponsible.

The pain and anger when he yelled "You killed someone!" is chilling

I worked at a Indian casino many years ago as a bartender. One night one of the managers was way drunk, in uniform. I took her keys and the shuttle took her home and she had no clue. Two days later she fired me for what I did. Eventually the UIA and my attorney were able to fish me a nice chunk of change from the casino. Haven't been back in a casino since.

2:08 Can we take a second to appreciate the dude who straight risked a broken arm to break the window with his elbow? Thank you dude, whoever you are. That's sacrificial concern for other people and it's greatly appreciated.

It’s 100% his fault, but as a bartender, I cannot imagine serving someone 16 shots, let alone watching them go to their car and drive off without calling the cops

That dude in the first one who tackled the drunk driver sounded like he was about to cry while he was screaming at the guy. He probably did when he got home. Dudes voice had so much emotion to it

People getting 10-15 yrs for literally killing people is insanity to me

Stephanie was not just drunk. She was a sociopathic, soulless human being. She had no problem keeping it together, fully aware, until she realized she was being arrested & held accountable. Then it was all just a big inconvenience. She understood what she did to a large degree & acted like a spoiled brat. The alcohol just lowered her inhibition enough for her to blatantly display the ugly inside.

I absolutely have no empathy for drunk drivers

I was a bartender for years.I don't care if someone is driving or not.Serving someone 16 shots is beyond negligence.It's criminal.

As a former bartender, How in the hell was the bar not responsible for over-serving the 1st person?!!!

imagine causing someone to burn to death and getting 3 to 10 years in prison. affluenza

A lady and her dog died, in the car that went up in flames. Being burned alive has to be one of the worst deaths.

In my younger, wilder days a bartender politely asked for my car keys and ordered a cab for me when I got wasted during a football Sunday. I appreciate her for keeping me from being in one of these videos.

I am an Emergency Room RN. Thank you for shining a light on this particular subject! Keep up the fantastic work!❤❤❤

My parents were hit by a drunk driver when i was 10 They didn’t die but my dad was left severely disabled. He spent years wishing he was dead. When i was young i had wished he had died so he could be out of his misery. My mom now had to work 80 hours a week to support her disabled husband and 3 kids. My dad spiraled into alcoholism. It’s been 20 years and things are much better. But my childhood was taken from me. So much of my parents quality of life was taken from them. There’s so many consequences and people care more about their drinking than they do the possible consequences

I'm 15 and my best friend who was also 15 died in a car crash just before Christmas because of a drunk driver. His mum also passed away. I hope the guy who did it gets what's coming to him. My friends sister is currently in hospital and I pray that she recovers. Thanks for the content. You're a great guy

My mom had forty years of alcoholism under her belt when she wrecked. She had a BAC of .410. Most of us would die from that much booze in our blood. I was relieved when she wrecked because the only one who she killed was herself. Don’t let your family members be relieved when you die. It sucks.

This was one of the best BWC analysis videos I have seen for a long while. Having a real commentator on camera instead of an AI voice-over makes all the difference in the world. Excellent work!!!

These videos always give me chills. As a former addict, I drove high or drunk or both pretty much every day for nearly a decade. Eventually, the inevitable happened and I was in a serious wreck. 2 crushed vertebrae, 4 broken ribs, broken nose, concussion...it was bad. But thankfully, it was a single vehicle accident. I thank God that I didn't hurt or kill someone else. I couldn't imagine having to live with that. Driving under the influence is never worth it. It doesn't matter how 'experienced' you are or if you're just buzzed or whatever, it's a terrible idea that will end in tragedy eventually. I've made similar posts on videos like this before. It's not something I'm proud of but if it keeps 1 person from making that terrible decision, then it'll be worth it.

The fact that woman just killed 2 people and acted like her life was just going to continue without a problem and she was going to school and just shrug this off made me feel complete disgust.. That officer shown a level of self-restrain I wouldn't..

14 years for 2 people's lives is an absolute disgrace to our supposed justice system.

I wish drunk driving was taken more seriously. It's like getting drunk and randomly firing a gun in public.

That football player killed an innocent girl and her dog, and all anyone talks about is the end of his career. What about his victims? The mural they got was beautiful but it does not not make up for what happened.

How tf is vehicular manslaughter a misdemeanor?!?! Our “justice” system needs a major overhaul

The charge of misdemeanor vehicular homicide for the football player is absolutely criminal and the PA and judge in that case should be jailed. What a slap in the face to her family. The young lady who died was doing nothing wrong and died a horrible death because of his actions. No wonder drunks still get behind the wheel, with the bs charges and sentencing that they get after murdering a person. And it is murder, just like if he shot her. Prayers to her family.

I teared up on the first one, not only for the loss of life, but for all of the selfless people doing everything they could to help that family. Kudos to the guy that held the DD down and kept him on scene. Only cowards run away! All of these stories are tragic, but the1st one hit me kinda hard. 😢 Whoever served that man that amount of alcohol should be charged crminally as well.

Bro you did such a great job breaking down all thr important parts in such a bote sized manner!? Instant sub

Forty seven years ago, I was crippled for life by a drunk driver. He was on his third DUI, with no insurance. I was in a cast for 13 months. He never spent a day in jail. I wonder why he still had a drivers license after two DUI convictions. *Because the police and courts allow it.

Locally a guy who got charged with assault for beating a drunk who hit his families car, on conviction judge asked if he had anything to say at his trial , his response ' police got there too quick, assault wasnt my intent'

Just found this channel and I love the content! Love how you told these stories, gained a new sub!

1:16 Thank you for covering this guy. I only ever saw the video of him tripping over every blade of grass in his shameful attempt at fleeing!

For those wondering, the bartender from the first story was arrested and charged with one count of Sale to Certain Persons, which is a “Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a $4,000 fine.”

DUI needs stronger penalties in the US, so many repeat offenders just keep driving drunk.

Love the channel man & the informative info you put out there, you seem to want the change & genuinely care. And you remind me sooo much of Rob Gavagan. Looks, sounds, even certain mannerisms even the similar content you guys put on YT. Lol are you guys related or anything?

Your storytelling style brings back memories of Rob Gavagan, especially his engaging approach to crime stories on KZfaq. Well done, sir! It feels nostalgic.

Stephanie's behavior disgusts me about the same as the 19 year old that threw her newborn in the garbage at the hospital

13:15 “my car got hit” The refusal of any responsibility right there.

Been watching you for EVER your dictations come a long way man great work.

About 30 years ago, I witnessed a pickup clip of a tractor-trailer and flip over. I stopped to render aid, and OMG, the car was full of empty and full beer cans. I saw an empty baby seat in the back seat of the truck. I put my hand around the driver's neck without thinking and yelling at him where is the baby. When the police pulled me off him, they told me there was no baby and that I was free to go. I think I snapped, and my hand automatically went around the drunk driver's neck after seeing an empty baby seat and thinking a baby got injured or worse. I still remember the day as if it was yesterday. I am so glad there was no baby in the pickup truck.

I have lost three dear friends during my life to drunk drivers. What sickens me to the core is that we lose innocent loved ones, and the drivers who took them from us walk away unscathed. I have no tolerance for the selfish and irresponsible people who get behind the wheel intoxicated. Today, with Uber and Lyft, there is no reasonable justification to put other lives at risk. 🙏RIP to all those lives taken away too soon at the hands of drunk drivers💔

I can’t believe the total indifference that Stephanie exudes after killing two people she’s seriously only interested how many days of school she’s going to miss the court gave her a very respectable 14 years plenty of time to see the error of her ways what a horrible human being she is!

“Don’t test me, but I WOULD pass!!!” Lmfaoooo wowzers

Almost 14 years sober. I’m thankful everyday I never hurt anyone.

I appreciate that this channel has a real person talking, and not some weird AI thing

I quit drinking and it was the smartest thing I have done in my entire life

16 shots? That bartender is just as guilty as the driver.

My daughter got run over by a drunk native teenager and they did nothing to him! If he had Killed my daughter for his stupidity she would have left 2 precious little girls behind! While she was hospitalized for a shattered pelvic and 5 broken ribs my granddaughters were staying with me and the oldest was devastated.. It was a nightmare but like I said “NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE YOUNG DRUCK DRIVER” that almost killed my daughter…. 🤬

11:20 This woman is actually so self centered, she’s saying “why would this happen to me?” After she killed two people….. wow…… just wow

My mom got hit by a drunk driver who died instantly. Luckily my mom, step dad and brother, and sister were ok. The drunk driver was my aunt. She was driving a separate vehicle and crashed into her own sister, my mother. I miss my aunt every day. It ruined my relationship with my cousins who were my best friends growing up. My mom lived, their mom died. You never know who is in the other vehicles.

You got a new sub, likes for all and I always try to leave a few comments!❤

I use to have a friend who struggled with alcoholism, I did everything to get them help, a few years ago, he was drunk driving on Fathers Day and he ended up flipping his car with his 2 children inside, I just thought it was an accident, but it later turns out he was drunk and he was even so out of it that he didn’t strap his kids into their car seats and when they found him he got out of the car trying to fight the cops while blood was gushing from his head. His daughter is now a paraplegic and his son suffered a brain injury. He pleaded guilty, but decided he now wants to proclaim his innocence. I was unaware while being his friend that this would have been considered his 4th DUI. I know he didn’t kill anyone, but his drunk driving lead to so many changes and so many lives being ruined and I’m honestly disgusted that I was even associated with him. DONT NOT DRINK AND DRIVE BY ANY MEANS. Call a friend, ask for help, get an Uber, go out with a DD, but please do not drink and drive.

I didn't realize it until now, but of all the many sad things about Stephanie's case the fact that she was about to graduate as an RN and didn't even bother to try to help her victims or consider giving any medical aid at the scene, leaving untrained bystanders to do it is pretty low. Shock may have been a factor, but she seems fairly chill about the whole situation.

That women that killed the two people is the most evil, clueless person I have ever seen.

Henry Ruggs was actually a wide receiver not a linebacker. And not only did he kill a woman in the other vehicle but her dog as well

Never been a bartender but hearing they let thy first man have 16 shots and making him leave after seeing how beyond messed up he was is insane to me. How could they let him leave in that state?? Maybe call him a cab?? Call the police they should of known that was going to end terribly and it did😢

The first one made me cry…..same thing happened to my grandpa. When my mom was only 2, a drunk driver hit them so hard, 2 blocks from their house, that it flipped the car over and killed my grandpa. My grandma, mom, and uncle survived, but grandma was in the hospital for months and Mom was thrown out the window. Destroyed our family. My grandpa was only in his 20’s.

Yeah I get the innocent until proven guilty thing but if you get behind the wheel you're guilty. This isn't manslaughter, it's murder.

Thank you for this! Sadly I had two friends who were killed by a drunk driver.

I found this video yesterday started to watch it but midway youtube flipped out on me and refresh and I realised for some reason I'm no longer subscribed and then I couldn't find your channel anywhere. I'm new to you so trying to remember your name was hard work I'd normally just go to my subscriptions until I'm used to someone I can just look for them by name. I finally found you so now I won't lose you again I've made sure of that. You have no idea how relieved I am to have finally found you again

Stephanie’s case happened in my hometown. Bradley is considered a prestigious school which is why she was like “how could this happen to me, I go to Bradley” there was a humongous uproar over her walking the stage to receive her diploma. She hadn’t been “proven guilty” yet. So many people rioted her right to cross the stage.

"My car got hit." Kills two pedestrians.

“Gimme your arm!” 😂

Thats gotta be the most haunting helpless feeling to see a car burning like that knowing theres nothing you can do.

I watched that monster Stephanie's arrest video. Number 1 she had left one bar and was on the way to another bar not home. She lied about everything and the scene was so sad, she had a body part hanging off the front of her car. I cant believe that school allowed her to graduate but thankfully the other students made enough protest about it that she couldnt walk with her class. Even at her trial she made it all about herself, that monster is 100% a pos selfcentered narcissist and her parents had a big hand in that. That officer held it together so much better than I would have that's for sure. Thank God she will spend the next 14 years in prison thinking about why shes there

You can: 1) call an uber/taxi 2) get a designated driver 3) not drink, if the above are unavailable You can literally call somebody to pick you up and drive you home for like $40 from an app. Multiple apps. You don’t need to leave the bar or your house drunk.

I used to work in an insurance company here in France and unfortunately, we faced some tragic cases of accidents implying bodily injuries or death. Remember that when you have an accident while DUI, your insurer will pay compensation to the victims and family BUT they will pursue you afterwards to be paid back. You lose e-ve-ry-thing. Compensation for bodily injuries are very, very high (though less than in the USA as I know). We had the sad case of a man who died in a car accident on the motorway, while DUI. He managed first to get off of his car but then he was hit by a big lorry. His body damaged the lorry. Not only his widow got nothing from the insurer, but she had to pay the price for the repair of the lorry... I had to explain that to her. It was one of the worst moment in my carreer. 😔 I don't know the law in the USA, but here, after a car accident, a bartender and even you or me can be sued if we let someone leave the premises/home and we know that this person is too drunk too drive. All my thoughts for the victims and their family and friends. 🌹

Bars tenders have a moral responsibility to stop serving.

My dad was a cop for 38 years and hated drunk drivers with a passion. His dad had been a raging alcoholic, so he had no sympathy for them.

“You see what you did?!” Gave me chills.

I've had 3 shots before and a bartender in a CROWDED bar said "You're done or you give me your keys."

At 3:20 it really sounds like the officer said “I’m going to take you back and screw you in my vehicle”. 🤣 I assume he said “screen you”, yet it still sounds so funny.

That Stephanie girl was absolutely shocking !! To be so damn oblivious to killing 2 people is something I can't comprehend. I think she deserved the maximum sentence of 28 years personally considering her actions.

I’ve read once before in a comment section that cops need to skip their games and go straight to the breathalyzer. I agree.

This sh*t is so real and sad i’m so sorry for the pain these mistakes have caused

I love how she says " my car got hit" like as if they hit her or something

8:10 It wasn't just her innocent life lost, but also that of her dog. Who cares about the loss of his NFL career? I care more about the dog than I do about his career. He clearly didn't deserve it considering he is still left with more than some people will ever get to have, including the woman and dog he just killed.

"I go to Bradley, why would this happen to me?" WTH?!?! This didn't _happen to you,_ LADY. *YOU CHOSE TO DO THIS!*

that transition from the drunk driver pov to the cops body was sick af

As someone who has been trained in alcohol service, you are responsible for counting the number of alcoholic drinks you give a customer. It's literally your job.

The bar shouldn't been allowed to even serve one person that much. This is horrible. The Stephanie girl had no remorse what so ever. Even said they hit her car. Was even more worried about school than 2 deceased people.

In the first one, the bartender should be charged as an accessory. Giving someone by themselves 16 shots during the day and letting him drive off?

He only got that tiny sentence for causing such a horrific death to that lady and her dog? Sickening.

Henry Ruggs tried to blame the other driver saying: "I know someone is in the other car but this is a hit and run right here". What a jerk. He didn't get enough jail time.

Questio,VERY big question. WHY did the bar serve him 16 SHOTS, the bartender who served him should have been arrested and charged as an accessory after the fact.

I don't think I've ever been more repulsed by a human being as I am by Stephanie Melgoza

It's pretty much always the drunk driver that seems to survive a dwi accident!

These are the cops we need ones who took me to jail was texting and going 90 mph love it

I did a piece for my university’s news paper about a student who was supposed to be in my freshman class but was killed in a car accident the summer before when a drunk driver struck the car he was in. It killed him and the four other people in the car with him. I got to interview his parents and it was one of the most heartbreaking conversations I’ve ever had. Please do not drink and drive

The algorithm should push this to the top of every YT channel’s recommendations.

i got a DUI early one morning on my way to work after a night of drinking. it was my friends birthday and we got pretty hammered. didnt get home until 2-230. woke up around 4:45am to drive home and get changed for work. i felt completely fine if not a little tired and hungover. happened to be raining cats and dogs and i ended up hydroplaning off the road into a field. wasnt speeding, wasnt driving recklessy. just had the misfortune of hitting that puddle in the road and hydroplaning. long story short, i end up backing my truck out of the field and get out to see if there is any damage. after a couple minutes a sheriff showed up (i was just at the edge of town) apparently someone saw me hydroplane and called the cops. we get to talking and hes asking all the requisite questions to include if id been drinking because he could smell alcohol. i told him id been out the night before for my friends birthday and we'd drank but that id slept it off and was just on my way to work. did all the field sobriety stuff and passed. we get to the breathalyzer and i blow a .09. i couldnt believe it. i felt totally fine but my body still hadnt metabolized all the alcohol from the night before. was enough for me to swear off drinking altogether. ive been sober 28 years now. im not condoning drinking and driving at all. its a sensless, selfish act. what i will say is everyone has a different tolerance. ive seen and been with family and friends who have had a couple drinks (even more than a couple) and been totally fine. ive a good friend who is a functioning alcoholic. has been for years. he drinks at least, AT LEAST, a handle of booze every single day. if it wasnt for the smell of alcohol comng off him youd never know he was drunk. its scary as hell.

Had a buddy back in the early 90s jump outta the passenger side of my truck going down the street because he got pissed that I wouldn’t take him a town away to get his weed. He was a cowboy and when he hit the concrete I could see sparks coming off his belt buckle in my rear view mirror, other than being scraped up pretty good he was ok.

Anything less than 50yrs for taking a life is an injustice to not only the families of the victims, but an injustice to the entire community!

When I was 17 the one and only time I’ve ever driven my car while drunk I was hating myself the entire time and I got home safely without any damage to others and that was 11 years ago and I still regret that act. I can’t fathom what made me make that decision looking back and is one of the many reasons I stopped drinking at all in 2020.

Drunk Driver: "I don't trust anyone." Me: "Starting with yourself."

Nicely done brother

The girl saying “this has never happened TO ME.” You killed to people nothing is happening to you. This is your fault. Pisses me off

A drunk driver killed one of my best friends. He was only 28 years old and he never even made it to the hospital. He had just begun a career as a teacher. His whole life ahead of him. And just like that he was gone forever. All because of a drunk *IDIOT* who'd been caught doing it at least once before but hadn't learned his lesson. He survived and I think he got a prison sentence, but it won't bring my friend back. Miss you always, Alexander.

I wonder how she enjoyed that trip to Vegas… ohh and her graduation in 4 weeks 😂

When I was a firefighter, I've responded to several DUI wrecks. Luckily, none of them resulted in serious injury, although I have responded to wrecks that did end life but all parties were sober. One of my first calls I've responded to was a DUI wreck. As we were cleaning up, the state troopers were conducting FST's. Everyone had minor injuries. I've seen a rollover, this guy was both drunk and high, barely a scratch on him (he was the only one involved). Walked away (In cuffs) like it was nothing.
