This really is a tragic story and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the victim. If found guilty of this he should go to prison for a long time and pay for his actions

I do not understand why some people choose to consume different drugs and then get on the cars and drive . This Bradley Ruben chose to make stupidity which ended with the death of a person. These people are immature because do not think about the consequences.
in fact it does not matter what exactly he used .... marijuana or other drugs or alcohol .... in any case, get into the car and go after that crime ..... and he absolutely deserved imprisonment because his actions entailed death man .... a lot of people in the world are killed through the fault of drunk drivers and I am for tougher penalties

How is it excessive the bond he had to pay. He killed another human one way or another didnt he? Plus he was on drugs. They had to let him go with some "usual" amount in bond? Lawyers...

This professional poker player is a man and an unconscious driver. He climbed into the wheel although he had used drugs before and for that need to pay drastic. He has moved away from the scene of the accident and that means he was not so affected by those drugs. In other words it deserves a good punishment with jail.

Not the first nor the last fleeing the scene of an accident. And believe it or not, even if you are under the influence, you have what it takes, to think and start running after what you have done. I have seen it with an idiot being drunk as hell outside our house.

I don't smoke marijuana. I have no idea how it feels to be high on weed. Is marijuana milder than alcohol? Bradley Ruben is going to need a good criminal defense lawyer. Was he under the influence of some other substances (besides cannabis) at the time of the accident?

a real sorrow for the victim family. I do not feel any pity for the player. I hope that if I kill someone, he gos to prison accordingly. that he fulfills a penalty with which he realizes the serious error of driving when one consumed a substance that can affect his senses, be it marijuana, alcohol or any other drug or drink. I hope justice dont be blind. otherwise they would be rewarding this type of actions.

marihuana is kinda great thing really, it's just that one shouldn't drive a car once high, he already can fly once in that state, so I don't understand the need to use a car when you can just fly through the city like batman, way better mode of transport, only available to marihuana addicts

Marijuana can distract you when driving and that's why are accidents of all kinds. Some people have the sicker brain and with Marijuana they can no longer have the same level of concentration. Depend on how much it smokes or how hard he made that joint. Anyway it's not good to do what Bradley Ruben did.

In my country, marijuana was legalized a while ago, and is sold even in pharmacies. Not in all, but in many distributed throughout the country. And those who are in favor of it, say that it does not affect anything (you should film them when they consume to see if it really does not do anything to him). It is not that I am against marijuana, but that it is sanctioned in the same way when one commits this type of accident, under narcotics.

certainly a terrible attitude that ended with a victim making use of narcotic substances and alcohol in volatnte and a stupid without tantan and can cause accidents like this that are very fatal and now he will have to answer for it and suffer the consequences

the use of drugs of any kind should be forbidden in my view and even more so when one has more hands so great a responsibility and condusir an expensive because it is a weapon in the hand of those who are on effect of such things and the law must be severe to punish these people who use it and are going to

more and more countries are starting to feel good about this beautiful plant ... it's wonderful ... but when such events happen as in news it's sad .... then opponents can say that legalization is harmful to people .... it's very bad .. .. alcohol takes a lot of lives and health but it is legal

the case is being tried and I hope it is very well resolved and that the culprit is punished with rigor because he assumed responsibility when he used a prohibited substance and then was driving a vehicle causing the death of the victim has to be punished with rigor

yes godoy this is true. Accidents occur daily around the world but most of them are made of people's negligence and many tragedies happen. The others are made by the same kind of people. Drunk, drugged, nervous etc... This is very bad and here is no responsibility. The law should punish more severely irresponsible people.
