I’m a paramedic in Las Vegas. Some of my friends ran that call. Ruggs was going over 150 mph when he struck the victim and her dog who were making a right turn onto the street Ruggs was speeding on. That street has a 45 mph speed limit. That young girl and her dog burned alive. My friends were helpless upon arrival. Also, Ruggs and his gf, who was a passenger in his car, were insolent pricks on scene. Ruggs showed no remorse on scene. And his gf was just a flat out biyatch. Was a horrific scene and crash. Tina’s parents think he deserves a better chance. They’re bigger people than I am.

No one ever gets a lot of time in these cases. And that is a travesty.
Yea no one gets a lot of time for vehicular accidents that unintentionally results in one death becuase "it's an accident" man. Have a brain man. He didn't commit Capital murder or 1st degree murder. Nor voluntary manslaughter. Please have some sense
@@XurvoxoHe intentionally decided to drink and drive, he intentionally drove up that road going 156 mph.. He intentionally made phone calls on the footage and cried because his car was totaled. Not that he burned a woman alive but that his corvette was totaled.
A minimum of 36 months is nothing compared to the parents never being able to see their daughter again.. Ridiculous. Her parents are courageous, dignified people. My heart breaks for them. From the sound of it Tina is and was the type of person I strive to be and would want to be around because I to am a animal lover. I also know the pain of having a loved one killed by a drunk driver. Listening to Henry Ruggs sppech I don't even believe hes truly remorseful. I honestly believe he's only upset that his career is ruined. His lawyer showed more emotion than he did smdh.
Dude, we will never know for sure if he is upset or not. Yes, the loss is tragic. The Dui driver should be held accountable. His career is also over. But, to say that he is not regretful makes you narrow-minded.
This case is the only one that's made me stay up all night in panicking, crying. The fact that her screams could be heard, the dog too. I can't fathom it.
If you get panicked and crying over watching one case then why are you here? Your saying this is the ONLY case also, a DUI speeding accident causing a death happens every week… so the Schabusiness case where she decapitated her BF and SA’d his body afterwards isn’t worse? lol it’s pathetic you let a singular case, from a video on YT with no attachment affect you that deeply
There is no justice for a victim who was wrongly given an early death sentence by someone who had no regard for human life, his own and others. To let him off easily is NOT an example to others who neglect life and take it for granted. There are consequences to actions, no second chances.
The show of respect and forgiveness from her family is amazing. I could never be like that, I would spend my life hating the person that took my child and would likely spend the remainder of my days seeking revenge. What strong and wonderful people they are.
@@roberto3939 forgiving someone responsible for burning your daughter alive is dishonorable especially as a result of DUI and so is berating those who would refuse to do so. This is why the Church is losing followers.
This is so sad for the victim in this case. I was reading some of the comments and I could not believe that one person said that they could hear this woman screaming while she was burning in her car. Thats is just so scary to me. I do hope this man will hold up what he told to the judge and when he does get out give back to the community.
Samething happened to a friend of mine. His sister was on the phone with him when it happened. Her cousin and lil bro was in the car. A pregnant woman picked my friends lil bro and cousin up at the club. She was the designated driver. Well, her bf/ex.. w.e. he was to her at the time, followed and stalked her. He then chased them in the car. She had to speed. Well the young lady's ex/bf clipped their car they spun and flipped and they basically had to pull her out of a tree like a pancake stuck on a pan she hit the tree so hard. My friend and cousin was still in the car and some people in the neighborhood they crashed in heard it ran out. One of their arms was off they were screaming. A fire broke out when the neighbor checked on them. When he ran to get a fire extinguisher by the time he came back it was to late.. the ex/bf didn't even bother to help. They ran and escaped through the woods and ofcourse they were caught. His sister heard everything on the phone. He called her to tell her they were being followed and they were in a chase. She told them to drive to the police department. Ofcourse they never made it..
He will. This is just a young dude who got too much money to quick and unfortunately this type of thing happens. And I feel bad for the victim to but I just hope you understand that you don't experience death like that. I had a nearly fatal car crash in the moments of the actual crash I have absolutely no memory or concept of. Anyone telling you that they do is more than likely telling you a memory that they have formulated in their mind that's not real
It has been so well-known that you don't experience the moment of death or the minutes leading up to it that the entire MKUltra program is based on harnessing that brain's ability to shut off someone's self-awareness like it does at the moment of death or serious impacts
My mom was pregnant and had a head-on collision when she was in her early twenties with both her kids in the backseat and had to be helicoptered to the hospital because their injuries are so bad. And she was screaming the entire time and pain and Agony, my older brother who is baby at the time is in the back not making it sound not crying he was in total shock and Trauma that probably effects him to this day. And then my oldest brother was in the back totally unconscious But she was screaming like bloody murder, she has absolutely no memory of the impact or any of it
Mannnn let’s be real. We all sinners in some way. This was just an unfortunate event. May she rest easy and her family find peace but that’s not stopping the way this world spin.
This trial was clearly all about ruggs how he overcame his childhood and how he ruined his adulthood. I believe they should have mentioned the lady's life more than his story!.
I mean if Ruggs wasn't the one behind the wheel, you wouldn't even be commenting on this video because this would be just another DUI resulting in death
@@AmazedBunion Ruggs does have a very bad memory if the accident with his friend didn't teach him anything. I would also put most people who don't buy a custom Corvette with a radar detector and drive 150 on residential roads on their way to burning a woman and her dog alive as being better than Ruggs.
Just remember that everything that happens to us in life is what Jesus allowed to happen. Learn from this and take unto consideration that we have no control over life and when we will depart from this earth.
God.. the fact that the judge even brought up him having a poor childhood is a joke. Who gives a crap about that when he and his own actions are the exact reason why that poor girl and her dog died! He’s a freaking millionaire and can’t get a freaking Uber. So upsetting…
It's DUI manslaughter. Don't you know the laws? I always love reading the comments,Where people have no clue about how degrees of death work in the legal system.
Y’all be quick to try and throw people away in prison , like the person killed someone on purpose, he know exactly what he did and I’m pretty sure he feel bad for what he’s done and he gone face the consequences of his actions.
Just from doing a Google, I’ve learned that 37 people in the U.S. are killed daily by drunk drivers. That’s wild to me. Also, drunk drivers are overwhelmingly in their early 20s, which makes sense given that when you don’t have much responsibilities in life (perhaps your parents foot the bills or you’re wealthy like this guy), you take great risks in which you don’t even analyze the potential consequences. It’s horrible that people go out like this, especially a close one. God be with us all.
@@JCMthebrand no if there is a victim they will be consulted about the plea that's why they got victims advocate the prosecutor will not do a deal without letting the victims family know
He deserves life in prison. Nothing less. I don’t believe he wrote any of those statements he read in court…. his attorneys did. He’s only sorry he messed up HIS life not that poor lady he killed.
I lost ALL respect for Henry on November 2, 2021! When I saw the video of the horrific wreckage that HE was responsible for, I was in shock!! It's NEVER smart to drink & drive! I'm 43yrs old, will be 44yrs on Valentine's Day, and I've NEVER gotten behind the wheel after having a drink!! Not even 1 drink!! You never know how your body is TRULY going to react to alcohol & speeding!! My heart goes out to Tina's parents, family, and friends!! May Tina & Max Rest In Peace💙 🕊️💐🕯️❤️ I do feel that he was given a VERY light sentence & I feel like he'll serve HALF of that time!! Unless he gets in there & starts getting in trouble! Then, who knows what he'll do! Hopefully, out of respect for Tina & her parents, he'll keep his daughter in the front of his mind, do his time, stay clean, & go home!!
@@laudableplain4282sadly.. but the ones who have done the same thing he did without it resulting in a death will not be looked at the same. He was just unfortunate. I feel bad for that family and the girl and her dog but I'm not about to demonize somebody for doing what so many people do in Vegas without tragedy happening. It was just a wrong place wrong time situation but the guy is not a monster or a bad human being at all. He deserves better treatment than that.
I'm in LV. I heard the calls to the local radio station that morning from people saying that they could hear her screams from their homes 🙁Seems like no punishment would be enough.
The judge knew that her dog and her were burnt alive because the witnesses that saw the horrific scene said she was screaming and saw it. This sentence is a slap on the face. It’s sickening that he has a light sentence after what he did. But most ppl knew that he would anyway because our justice system is a joke.
I will never forget this Dad’s speech when things don’t go quite as I hope or when I have an off day. This puts it all in perspective 💔heart wrenchingly sad
It’s craZy how I’m facing a year in jail for a first time dui if I don’t comply with the treatment classes and this is my first offense ever and this guy gets 3 years for killing a young girl the system is no system at this point
My youngest daughters great grandfather was killed by a drunk driver in 2000 and she got the same sentence. She actually drove up onto the sidewalk killed him and then drove home.
He deserves life. My only hope is when he gets out, he spends the rest of his life in atonement for what he's done and making himself an example for the stupidity of dui's that have taken countless other lives.
This happened right around the corner from my old work. I remember panicking and immediately calling my few loved ones to check on them. My condolences go out to their friends and family.
Rich athlete privelage! Any normal citizen would have got 20 plus years. I am so sick of athletes, rich peolpe, and politicians getting special treatment
No they wouldn't so hush. A normal citizen would not get 20 years plus. Provably dumbest comment here. My sister works paralegal. My stepbrother is former district attorney for New York. Friend is litigator but i forget his title. My ex girlfriend is attorney is Connecticut. Basically I've read and seen so many cases similar to this. No one gets "20 years plus" unless un unusual and cruel circumstances.
Sincerely apologize my culo. Nobody is sorry. You'd do the same crap if you had the opportunity. 3 fukn years? That's it? WTF. That judge should be locked up along with him 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Lawyer sounded more sincere than Ruggs, smh. God bless everyone involved in this. Even Ruggs. This is a horrible situation I could never imagine being in, on either side.
She suffered a cruel and unusual death, at the hands of this trash. I can't believe how they barely get a blink of eye of time in prison. It's BS! And to allow him a chance to speak to the victims family is a serious spit in the face.
Come on Give him a chance to say sorry, even if it's not genuine but I agree with you; he should get real time in jail. The kind of time that takes away his celebrity status for good.
Oh come on, now if he didn't express his remorse, you would be b*tching about that. In every case, the victims are allowed to make a victim impact statement and the defendant is allowed to make a statement. He chose to express his remorse to the family which im sure the majority of people would rather hear than someone sitting there sullen and thinking of themselves only. Time for you to grow up
The amount of ppl, mostly 15-25 year olds saying “he didn’t mean to kill anyone he was just drunk” is fuxkin astonishing. Do not feel bad for him or the younger generation, they need harsher punishment as they tell you harsher punishment isn’t gonna stop someone from getting drunk and deciding to drive cuz they’ll do it anyway. I’m so disgusted and disappointed in the next gen. Ugh.
The problem is the law leaves a gray area. It's okay if you drink and drive if your .07 and under. This case sure he was way over but the others more near that line make that mistake. It should be a zero tolerance if they care about lives which they don't and care about revenue more so is the real problem.
@@christhayer5498 I so agree. We all think were invincible in our teens and 20s, but we can’t keep having this happen and now the youngest gen thinks it’s absolutely no big deal to drive drunk smh.
@Sweetmotion23 Not a matter of feeling invincible but rather not knowing any better. This is not an excuse as I owned up to it and dealt with my own repricussions and did what was asked. At 22/23 my friends and I went to a concert. I had done all my drinking before the concert by 8pm. Not a lick after we left the hotel in a taxi. Took a taxi back to the hotel by 2am/3am 6-7hrs later back at the hotel I was hungry with having no food. Thought oh I'm surely okay by now to drive. Nope came up quick on a stop sign not fully stopping before the line and I got lit up. Blew .02 over @ .1 yes I was that hammered at the concert lol looking back I'm glad it happened the way it did. If it hadn't I would of probably been facing what Ruggs is going through eventually. Now (rarely drink now and if I do it's a couple of cups of Irish cream and coffee) I don't even think about driving for over 24 hours. If it was 0 tolerance I would of not drove that night or ever. Is what it is but it is only a cash grab operation that really doesn't care about lives.

If I killed an innocent person and a dog, I would be so overcome with guilt that I would plead guilty because I am guilty. I would not even take a plea deal, knowing I deserve much more time. No one ever gets a lot of time in these cases. And that is a travesty.
Yea no one gets a lot of time for vehicular accidents that unintentionally results in one death becuase "it's an accident" man. Have a brain man. He didn't commit Capital murder or 1st degree murder. Nor voluntary manslaughter. Please have some sense
He didn't mean a word of what he said. No emotions. A beautiful lady gone. So tragic. 🕊️🙏
If had showed emotion you would’ve said it was fake he can’t win here (he’s 100% wrong an deserves punishment)
U act like he intentionally meant to hit her? Obviously he’s sincere about it his career is done over a choice he made
@@XurvoxoHe intentionally decided to drink and drive, he intentionally drove up that road going 156 mph.. He intentionally made phone calls on the footage and cried because his car was totaled. Not that he burned a woman alive but that his corvette was totaled.
@@oscarkoop2548 ok as the person said he didn't intentionally to hit her lol
😢💔 my sincere condolences to the parents and family of this young lady. 😢🙏🙏
And dog
A minimum of 36 months is nothing compared to the parents never being able to see their daughter again.. Ridiculous. Her parents are courageous, dignified people. My heart breaks for them. From the sound of it Tina is and was the type of person I strive to be and would want to be around because I to am a animal lover. I also know the pain of having a loved one killed by a drunk driver. Listening to Henry Ruggs sppech I don't even believe hes truly remorseful. I honestly believe he's only upset that his career is ruined. His lawyer showed more emotion than he did smdh.
Dude, we will never know for sure if he is upset or not. Yes, the loss is tragic. The Dui driver should be held accountable. His career is also over. But, to say that he is not regretful makes you narrow-minded.
Dude will probably be out in 2

This case is the only one that's made me stay up all night in panicking, crying.
The fact that her screams could be heard, the dog too. I can't fathom it.
If you get panicked and crying over watching one case then why are you here? Your saying this is the ONLY case also, a DUI speeding accident causing a death happens every week… so the Schabusiness case where she decapitated her BF and SA’d his body afterwards isn’t worse? lol it’s pathetic you let a singular case, from a video on YT with no attachment affect you that deeply

A genuine apology is better than a prepared Statement
There is no justice for a victim who was wrongly given an early death sentence by someone who had no regard for human life, his own and others. To let him off easily is NOT an example to others who neglect life and take it for granted. There are consequences to actions, no second chances.
THIS!
Stfu yes thier is justice 😅😅😅😅😅
So go police everyone that’s speeding since its your life calling..
@@bossmansmoke367 you just have to be a contrarian, even when it’s about an innocent life being lost. Gain some respect, what a shame.
I seen the video did u not see the person cut Riggs off wen all they had to do was stay in there lane 😂
The show of respect and forgiveness from her family is amazing. I could never be like that, I would spend my life hating the person that took my child and would likely spend the remainder of my days seeking revenge. What strong and wonderful people they are.

@@roberto3939Man shut up, why u bringing religion into this SMH
@@roberto3939 forgiving someone responsible for burning your daughter alive is dishonorable especially as a result of DUI and so is berating those who would refuse to do so. This is why the Church is losing followers.
Slap in the face to the victim. She suffered horribly before dying. He deserves so much worse.
This is so sad for the victim in this case. I was reading some of the comments and I could not believe that one person said that they could hear this woman screaming while she was burning in her car. Thats is just so scary to me. I do hope this man will hold up what he told to the judge and when he does get out give back to the community.
Samething happened to a friend of mine. His sister was on the phone with him when it happened. Her cousin and lil bro was in the car. A pregnant woman picked my friends lil bro and cousin up at the club. She was the designated driver. Well, her bf/ex.. w.e. he was to her at the time, followed and stalked her. He then chased them in the car. She had to speed. Well the young lady's ex/bf clipped their car they spun and flipped and they basically had to pull her out of a tree like a pancake stuck on a pan she hit the tree so hard. My friend and cousin was still in the car and some people in the neighborhood they crashed in heard it ran out. One of their arms was off they were screaming. A fire broke out when the neighbor checked on them. When he ran to get a fire extinguisher by the time he came back it was to late.. the ex/bf didn't even bother to help. They ran and escaped through the woods and ofcourse they were caught. His sister heard everything on the phone. He called her to tell her they were being followed and they were in a chase. She told them to drive to the police department. Ofcourse they never made it..
That sounds horrific
He will. This is just a young dude who got too much money to quick and unfortunately this type of thing happens. And I feel bad for the victim to but I just hope you understand that you don't experience death like that. I had a nearly fatal car crash in the moments of the actual crash I have absolutely no memory or concept of. Anyone telling you that they do is more than likely telling you a memory that they have formulated in their mind that's not real
It has been so well-known that you don't experience the moment of death or the minutes leading up to it that the entire MKUltra program is based on harnessing that brain's ability to shut off someone's self-awareness like it does at the moment of death or serious impacts
My mom was pregnant and had a head-on collision when she was in her early twenties with both her kids in the backseat and had to be helicoptered to the hospital because their injuries are so bad. And she was screaming the entire time and pain and Agony, my older brother who is baby at the time is in the back not making it sound not crying he was in total shock and Trauma that probably effects him to this day. And then my oldest brother was in the back totally unconscious
But she was screaming like bloody murder, she has absolutely no memory of the impact or any of it
We’re taught to not drink & drive since kids yet people still do it . Why ? For their own selfish reasons . RIP to Tina & her fur baby . 🙏🏼
Maybe we should refrain from promoting alcohol on ever other billboard on the highway…
You never had a drink and drove - in your entire life?????
Mannnn let’s be real. We all sinners in some way. This was just an unfortunate event. May she rest easy and her family find peace but that’s not stopping the way this world spin.
Rip Tina
That’s why alcohol is forbidden in Islam. It doesn’t matter your age, alcohol is not good for you.
These terrible accidents always have the wrong people surviving
He didn't mean it, his apology sounded more like reading a rehearsed letter other than knowing what he took from the world.
I apologise for driving at speed and under the influence, nah mate, you’re not excused and should have been locked up for life
This trial was clearly all about ruggs how he overcame his childhood and how he ruined his adulthood.
I believe they should have mentioned the lady's life more than his story!.
This.
I mean if Ruggs wasn't the one behind the wheel, you wouldn't even be commenting on this video because this would be just another DUI resulting in death
The guy couldnt even read his apology without reading it word for word on a piece of paper given to him by his lawyer
@@AmazedBunion Ruggs does have a very bad memory if the accident with his friend didn't teach him anything. I would also put most people who don't buy a custom Corvette with a radar detector and drive 150 on residential roads on their way to burning a woman and her dog alive as being better than Ruggs.
Someone died and the Judge is up there talking about a $25 fee .. goofy

Y’all be quick to try and throw people away in prison , like the person killed someone on purpose, he know exactly what he did and I’m pretty sure he feel bad for what he’s done and he gone face the consequences of his actions.
Just from doing a Google, I’ve learned that 37 people in the U.S. are killed daily by drunk drivers. That’s wild to me. Also, drunk drivers are overwhelmingly in their early 20s, which makes sense given that when you don’t have much responsibilities in life (perhaps your parents foot the bills or you’re wealthy like this guy), you take great risks in which you don’t even analyze the potential consequences. It’s horrible that people go out like this, especially a close one. God be with us all.

The judge knew that her dog and her were burnt alive because the witnesses that saw the horrific scene said she was screaming and saw it. This sentence is a slap on the face. It’s sickening that he has a light sentence after what he did. But most ppl knew that he would anyway because our justice system is a joke.

Come on Give him a chance to say sorry, even if it's not genuine but I agree with you; he should get real time in jail. The kind of time that takes away his celebrity status for good.
Oh come on, now if he didn't express his remorse, you would be b*tching about that. In every case, the victims are allowed to make a victim impact statement and the defendant is allowed to make a statement.

This was more than just DUI. He was driving 156 miles an hour on a normal road with pedestrians. DUI or sober, driving at that speed is murder.
Nope, that dui or involuntary manslaughter in other states. Don’t know what law books you are referencing
The amount of ppl, mostly 15-25 year olds saying “he didn’t mean to kill anyone he was just drunk” is fuxkin astonishing. Do not feel bad for him or the younger generation, they need harsher punishment as they tell you harsher punishment isn’t gonna stop someone from getting drunk and deciding to drive cuz they’ll do it anyway. I’m so disgusted and disappointed in the next gen. Ugh.
The problem is the law leaves a gray area. It's okay if you drink and drive if your .07 and under. This case sure he was way over but the others more near that line make that mistake. It should be a zero tolerance if they care about lives which they don't and care about revenue more so is the real problem.
@@christhayer5498 I so agree. We all think were invincible in our teens and 20s, but we can’t keep having this happen and now the youngest gen thinks it’s absolutely no big deal to drive drunk smh.
@Sweetmotion23 Not a matter of feeling invincible but rather not knowing any better. This is not an excuse as I owned up to it and dealt with my own repricussions and did what was asked. At 22/23 my friends and I went to a concert. I had done all my drinking before the concert by 8pm. Not a lick after we left the hotel in a taxi. Took a taxi back to the hotel by 2am/3am 6-7hrs later back at the hotel I was hungry with having no food. Thought oh I'm surely okay by now to drive. Nope came up quick on a stop sign not fully stopping before the line and I got lit up. Blew .02 over @ .1 yes I was that hammered at the concert lol looking back I'm glad it happened the way it did. If it hadn't I would of probably been facing what Ruggs is going through eventually. Now (rarely drink now and if I do it's a couple of cups of Irish cream and coffee) I don't even think about driving for over 24 hours. If it was 0 tolerance I would of not drove that night or ever. Is what it is but it is only a cash grab operation that really doesn't care about lives.
Give him life in prison, eye for an eye.
Why didn’t he get a life sentence? What a POS.
