RIP Jeff
This tragic news, of course, but sadly it makes you wonder whether he was getting his life back in order… or not.
From the news, he clipped another car speeding at 2:30 in the morning.What a POS post. Disgusting, POS post.
You’re an idiot if you can’t see how self destructive Jeff Gladney was. He had talent and opportunity and was given a second chance for a great career. If it were me, I’d be on the straight and narrow and not taking risks or chances like that. He killed another person too. Or I guess that doesn’t matter to you. Highly likely he should not have been driving.What a POS post. Disgusting, POS post.
AND killed another human being in the process.From the news, he clipped another car speeding at 2:30 in the morning.
I'm sad that he's gone, but I also hate that it sounds like it was his own fault.

LisaLT has earned some leeway around here.What a POS post. Disgusting, POS post.
The girl who died with Jeff is the niece of a good friend of mine. She was a really bright soul. I hope for everyone’s sake this was just a tragic accident. As always, the facts will come out…You’re an idiot if you can’t see how self destructive Jeff Gladney was. He had talent and opportunity and was given a second chance for a great career.

I am not arguing with you because I do not know all the facts about what happened.You’re an idiot if you can’t see how self destructive Jeff Gladney was.

Yeah, Lisa, and now that he is dead, absolutely dead at 25, with his family mourning, this is a good time to jump on him. "Highly likely he should not have been driving." Oh, well then, no problem that he's dead and gone. "If it were me, I'd be on the straight and narrow..." Can't believe you're as self-righteous and judgmental as this.You’re an idiot if you can’t see how self destructive Jeff Gladney was.

Go ahead and double down opinions on the young man. You know nothing but assumptions on what you don't know.You’re an idiot if you can’t see how self destructive Jeff Gladney was.

Not to mention she has a point, however uncomfortable it may be.LisaLT has earned some leeway around here.
And what point is that, besides he had a wreck that cost him his life in the early morning hours?Not to mention she has a point, however uncomfortable it may be.
That, aside from the God-awful horror of losing someone with a future as bright and promising as Gladney, is the realization that based on the descriptions of the accident it may well have been avoidable. Like the facts spilling out on the QB that died a few weeks ago, it didn't have to happen that way. 25-year-olds tend to take chances us old farts have learned to avoid, which is how we got to be old farts in the first place. Old pilots/Bold pilots.And what point is that, besides he had a wreck that cost him his life in the early morning hours?
Yeah I understand that speeding in that location was dumb and cost him his life and his girlfriend. The other aspect she is suggesting that he wasn't living on the straight and narrow is what got me and others fired up.That, aside from the God-awful horror of losing someone with a future as bright and promising as Gladney, is the realization that based on the descriptions of the accident it may well have been avoidable.

Noting this is not a slam, nor is it dancing on a grave. It is more an observation that no matter how bulletproof and immortal you think you are, you ain't. In a way, it makes it even more bitter...
(It occurs to me that I have now termed Lisa an Old Fart. No bikini pics for me...)
1) If the accident was his fault then yes there is blame for that. Obviously just about any time there is a wreck then at least one person did something they weren't supposed to do.You’re an idiot if you can’t see how self destructive Jeff Gladney was.

There will be a day and time for those discussions later. In the immediate aftermath, it was not the time or appropriate for anything else but celebrating his life.
I have no doubt it will likely be that way. That doesn't mean it was the right place and time to have that conversation. Later yes, but the incident just happened.Sorry, but what if it comes out that what others are speculating is true? I'm not big on celebrating drunk drivers. Especially ones that are highly paid and can afford a driver or Uber. Yes, it's bad to speculate but if it had happened at 11 am I don't think there would be this kind of talk going on. Speeding + early morning + wreck usually equals...
Is your first sentence ok? It seems weird to say that after just dressing down Lisa for the same thing.I have no doubt it will likely be that way. That doesn't mean it was the right place and time to have that conversation. Later yes, but the incident just happened.
