Re: [ST] Builder's Toast

Sorry to say Steve I don't agree at all.  Sure,  he is (well, hopefully)
going to face consequences for his actions and his life is on hold right
now but there are way too many people with short memories (can anybody say
Martha Stewart).  He is rich, he will get a plea bargain, the PR campaign
will begin and while he may not end up back on TV (but as Stewart did...he
may) he will continue.

Sorry...that's just the nature of society and 'celebrities' and it truly
does suck.

Howdy Rich,

This is a tragic and sad situation for all involved.  Lane was completely 
irresponsible.  You can count on one thing for sure.  His life as he knows

it is over.  Forever.  Even if he never spends one day in jail for this 
travesty, he is done.  He will be miserable for the rest of his life
whether 
it is in jail or in his own home.  He will be financially ruined and his 
career is over.  The pall of a fellow riders death will hang over him like
a 
dark cloud.  It's not like he is some politician or lawer that can go back

to his old circle of friends like nothing ever happened.  Riders are his 
life.  He will have nowhere to turn.

I feel extreme sympathy for the rider he killed and the family.  And this 
may sound crazy, but I feel sorry for Billy as well.  He fucked up, big 
time, his life is ruined.  He is going to pay for it for the rest of his 
life, one way or another.

A sad story all the way around.
