What experience is he missing? Knowing that preforming a DUI is putting the public in danger? This is educated in school, when you get your drivers licence and is showcased on ads everywhere. If he came to the country recently from a place where that education wasn't provided, I'd see what you're talking about. He's been in America and its school system since 2007.
I'm not giving someone a pass because they're ignorant, and this moment isn't telling of who he was. The world isn't black or white. He's a great guy it seems with a great passion for the community and is loved by everyone, but everyone makes mistakes and this mistake was a HUGE one in terms of possible effects it should have had on the public. I'm not saying JF is a scumbag, i'm saying what he did was selfish and scumbag-esque. This is a tragic moment, but people need to realize that this mistake he paid for and OTHERS could have paid for it as well. People need to keep being educated that drinking and driving isn't a joke.
I guess you're right, I'll reserve my complete judgement until the autopsy is complete. But there aren't much other conclusions when what we know so far is:
- He got into an argument with his girl and left to the bar
- They smelled like alcohol and receipts of alcohol were found in pockets of the guys on the boat
- It was his boat
