lol... Given you share a last name, I am guessing you are related the defendant. As such I will not take offense to your post. Family defends family, right or wrong, and I understand that.

But I will not apologize for calling for this criminal to be held accountable for the actions he committed. It was Kevin Brown that chose to get in a motor vehicle and drive while HIGHLY intoxicated. Then, after he had struck a 82 year old pedestrian, while HIGHLY intoxicated, he compounded his poor decision making by fleeing the scene, leaving his victim laying beside the roadway.

Did Kevin Brown, after fleeing the scene, then drive to the police to report it? Did he call for help for the lady he struck? Did he return home to await the authorities? No, Kevin Brown completed his drive to work and punched in. He went on with his day, while his victim went to the hospital.

Unless you have been living under a rock, there is no one of drinking age that doesn't know and understand that this is one of the possible outcomes of driving drunk. Kevin Brown chose to do so anyway, with tragic results. I have no problem calling for stiff penalties.

He may be a quality person, but that morning, his behavior was criminal, and indefensible, and he should pay a hefty penalty for it. And that includes prison in my opinion.

Indeed Greg. It always amazes me how quickly the victim appears to be lost in these.

Greg - what does it mean - "Delores too, she should get a life"..Unfortunately she has passed away. Seems like an inappropriate comment.

Don't sweat that DN. That is just his particular style of writing, somewhat sarcastic at times. He was supporting me.

DN, The Brown children have attacked anyone that comments on this issue and have gone so far as calling people out to "meet" them. I have had a special place in my heart for Dolores, since this tragic incident happened. I meant no disrespect for her or her family. I actually am glad that this is over, it is best for all involved.

Well, sort of. He can't prove a connection. Does not mean there is no connection.

The District Attorney has to operate on a higher standard of proof than public opinion requires. Beyond a reasonable doubt and guilty until proven innocent are legal standards not necessarily applicable to opinion. Delores was a healthy, seemingly vibrant older women before becoming this mans victim. Less than a year later, she is dying in assisted care that she never left after the accident.

I choose to see a connection, and a connection I believe is reasonable.

First off, I am just shaking in terror. Posting threats like an on-line bully? Really? Still in middle school are we? If this is typical behavior for you, as the derivative result of your fathers genetics I am going to guess that poor decision making was not a new discovery for him.

Second, as far as minding my own business, this is the business of us all. Basic sociology dictates that issues of crime and punishment are the legitimate concern of the electorate. Or, for the slower kids in the room, the judge and the prosecutor are both elected officials. As a voter, how they handle crime and the criminals that commit them is how you judge their job performance and decide your vote. So yes, it is our business. Oh, and as a Port Resident, the fact that your dad is driving our streets out of his mind drunk, is a legitimate cause for concern as well.

But your opinion is yours, so you are welcome to it. And if you do ever decide to look me up and make good on that threat, so be it. I suspect that our encounter will differ vastly from the picture you drew in your head (likely in crayon).

We don't think we are better than everyone else, we are just better than you. You are a no class punk.

Really? Then why couldn't you bail your dear father out of the pokey? I'm doing OK, if you have to tell us how great you are, it's probably total BS.

You know nothing of what you speak.

LOL. Your dance card is filling up fast Michael. Believe what you want. If you need to make blog threats to make yourself feel big, then so be it. It's the fault of everyone else, not your dad. Fine.

But on the plus side, fathers day shopping should be pretty easy for you for the next four years. Soap on a rope.
