Dany Heatley was driving something like 90+ mph in a residential zone. Residential zones are usually not more than 20 or 25 mph, at least around here. He was not intoxicated. That meant he was intentionally driving close to 70 mph faster than he should have.....and why exactly? For kicks? There's a difference between driving 70 in a 60 and 90+ in a 25. It's the same difference between getting hit in the face with a pillow and getting hit in the face with a brick. I know the area where the accident happened in, I was living in Atlanta at the time. It was a two-lane, residential street. A RESIDENTIAL STREET. He could have easily lost control of that car and spun out into someone's house, killing more than just his passenger. That's reckless endangerment and criminally negligent homicide. It was an accident, but an accident caused by his absolute blinding stupidity.

Why do people defend this s***? "Oh yeah, like you've never driven over the speed limit before." Yeah, if the speed limit says 35, I'll do 40 if there's no one on the road. If it's a school zone or something, I always do the speed limit. If the speed limit on the highway is 65, I'll do 70 or 75, because I go with the flow of traffic, especially on I-40. If you don't you'll get run over. However, that is nowhere near the same thing as driving through a subdivision or neighborhood, damn near clocking triple digits on the speedometer. Not even remotely close.


He killed someone. He killed someone because he was af****** moron. This wasn't self-defense, this wasn't justifiable homicide, this was Dany Heatley driving like a lunatic on a two-lane, dark, residential street and taking someone's life.


He deserves no defense.

Wasn't Heatley drunk when he crashed?

haha sums up exactly how I feel about Iginla and Getzlaf and all the other lazy stars
