[Local] Conservative Talk Radio Host Michael Berry Involved in Hit & Run at Gay Bar

Can you provide the link where hit and run=FSRA and does not = FSGI. I would think both are hit and runs.

 

Call HPD hit and run and ask for the definitions since I know you won't believe me. I worked in the pressroom at 61 Reisner Street for more years than I want to recount.

 

I trust wikipedia more than HPD:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_and_run_(vehicular)#United_States

In Texas, the crime is a third degree felony if the accident involves a fatality or serious bodily injury. Accidents causing less serious injuries are punishable by imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year and/or a fine not to exceed $5,000. Accidents causing $200 or more in total damages without injuries are punishable by a class B misdemeanor, and accidents causing less than $200 in total damages are a class C misdemeanor.[10]

In the end its all semantics. If he really did what he was accused of doing then he hit a car and ran. So it was a hit and run.

 

You do realize I can go to Wikipedia and change all that. Wiki is NOT a trusted source. If you don't believe that, call Wiki in a court of law to refute a police officer and see who wins. BTW, re-read your Wiki definitions -- one is a felony and the other is a misdemeanor.

 

Here is the original statute that the wikipedia article cites:

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TN/htm/TN.550.htm

It includes the felony, class B and class C misdemeanors previously mentioned. No where is the term hit and run used. My point is that calling it or not calling it a hit and run doesn't make a difference because its not legal terminology...but really he hit a car and ran though.

 

Bingo! There is no legal term "hit and run." They are FSRAs and FSGIs. One is a felony because it involves injury and the other is a misdemeanor because it involves property damage -- but no injury or injuries.

 

Okay..originally you were trying to say one was a hit and run and the other was not. Where did you or HPD come up with that if a hit and run is not legally defined? Sorry, I'm not trying to beat a dead horse or be an ass, I'm just wondering.

 

It depends on what the definition of is is.

Ha!

The self-loathing hypocrite is going down. Another blow for freedom.

 

No, I never said that. The story cited by the OP called it a "hit and run." The offenses both are legally defined but not as "hit and runs." Often times -- and I'm not saying this what happened in the Berry case -- a driver leaves the scene of an accident because he or she is DUI or carrying illicit goods.

 

No pun intended, I trust.:grin:

 

I said this:

Based on this:

Your quote above doesn’t line up with this:

 

What part of "the story called it a hit and run" do you not understand? Enough -- on to a more salient point.

 

That's fine..I thought it was a moot point all along. Dead horse is beaten.

 

Going down for what, exactly? Going to a gay bar? Wow, some serious HYPOCRITES on here if going to a gay bar is cause for "going down". (yes, there's a joke in there somewhere, but the hypocrites point is spot on)

 

well, a hit & run is kinda a crime in most places.

 

Dude's cover is blown.

They're all gay homophobes?

 

His viewers won't tolerate him being a homosexual. He will eventually lose his job over this unless he can present overwhelming evidence he was set up.
