That’s what you wonder, but by the time the police test him is blood alcohol could be gone.

I mean, you think you hit a deer but you don’t even bother to stop to check the damage to your car or see if it really was a deer? And what made him think a person was a deer? They are not really the same shape or size. Nah, this dude knew what he had done, knew he was legally over the limit, and cooked up this lame story to save his own ass.

He had antlers

Depending on the conditions, it’s possible. A deer (or a person in this case) can be flung pretty far into brush or woods at the side of the road. You could get out, see that your car is damaged, but see no clear sign of a body. If the road is dark and rarely has pedestrians, I wouldn’t expect someone to go searching around.

We’ll know more as facts come out.

The dude was heading home from a republican fundraiser… He was drunk.

MiG-29’s and AK-74’s, as American as apple pie.

Edit: Timex beat me in the Trump-Ad thread, so I’ll toss this on-going gem in:

I think this is the right attitude. Deer-strikes are very, very common and the vast majority of the time the animal continues to run “on adrenaline” after the impact disappearing into the brush, especially if the hit wasn’t head-on.

If you’re driving down a country road in the dark and you hit something, you’re going to slam on the brakes, pull over some distance from the point-of-impact, and get out of your car to check the damage. Unless you actually saw what you hit (like a face or antlers or whatever), you’d probably assume it was an animal. A look back down the road at the point that you think the impact occurred would probably just show you empty road. You’d take a few deep breaths, check the damage to your car and see if if was still drivable or if you needed to call a tow truck. If the former, you’d get back in the car and drive on.

That said, if he was coming from a fund-raiser, I would not at all be surprised if he was under the influence.

Deer strikes are very very common because they dart out into the middle of the road as cars are going by. People tend not to do that. They tend to understand you do not dart out in front of an oncoming car.

The initial concern isn’t so much as how far the body was flung (and presenting a possibility that if the driver stopped they wouldn’t immediately know what they hit) but that it was hit in the first place.

Here’s an article that sheds some additional light on the subject:

So, according to the AG and the Sheriff, here’s what happened:

  1. The AG is driving along and hits something. It damages his car so badly that he cannot drive it.

  2. The AG calls the sheriff to report that he’s hit something; he thinks it is a deer.

  3. The AG walks down the road looking for what he hit; he finds nothing in the dark.

  4. The sheriff arrives at the scene and also looks for what the AG hit; the sheriff finds nothing in the dark.

  5. The sheriff loans the AG his car for the evening (I guess they’re chummy); the AG drops the sheriff off at the sheriff’s house then drives home.

  6. The next day the AG drops by the scene of the impact to look again and finds the body; he calls the sheriff.

So there’s still the question as to why a man was hit, but it doesn’t sound like a hit-and-run.

Boever’s cousins, Nick and Victor Nemec, told the Rapid City Journal Boever [the victim] had left his Ford pickup truck on the side of the highway Saturday morning after driving into the roadside ditch and hitting a bale of hay. Boever was apparently returning to his truck when Ravnsborg struck him later that night.

6306

Ya, that’s a lot better, since he actually called the cops on the scene.

6307

Still sounds like a cover up.

Deep thoughts from Billy Barr.

6309

“but we don’t know where these freaking votes cam from,”

You mean those totally non-secret votes with the voters names affixed to them that you were just complaining about? You don’t know where those votes came from? The ones with voter name and address on them? Those mysterious votes in particular?

6310

My Secrecy Envelope would like to have a word with Barr.

6311

It’s crazy how we’ve been able to vote by mail in WA, OR and 3 other States with all this rampant fraud and vote buying. And you never read about it in the papers, because THEY don’t want you to know!

6312

What’s weird is… I have never voted in person in my entire life, and I’m not a kid. It’s just not an experience I have. Me trying it is probably going to be as comical as me trying to pump gas.

But hey when Barr says we… he never actually means, we.

6313

Let me guess… he’s a Republican?
