You people can make whatever judgements you want to about this man. Check out the Clerk of Courts online court records and read the arrest reports. From convicted felon, to methamphetamine dealer, to heroin possession, to now vehicular homicide. Now that being said, I think the system has failed to keep Randy off the streets and this is the fatal result. Remember, all of the records are online. Check it out. I pray for the family of the deceased.
re:Christina, if you are still over the legal limit the next day after partying the night before, it just means you are still drunk.
Here’s an idea. Don’t drink.
Toxicology!!!! May have had a drink but it’s not the cause…just wait
@Lee Yes, actually, gun manufacturers should definitely be held responsible, in fact guns shouldn’t be legal at all
At <Christina Christiansen
What an insidious comment!
Freak accident…please…
All his court cases over the years where he violated the law over and over and over again was "Freak Related " also?
All of his court cases were right on with convictions from many many traffic drug, and other crimes were to lenient.
He abused the people, the court and now a young nurse whose life was taken by him.
What is "Freak Related" is people trying to make excuses for him. He is as grown man, he owns this tragic death…his punishment and his "Freakish" escapes from justice are over. Stop making excuses for him or anyone …and they are many nationwide.."who freakishly drunkenly killing people "
You might want to look in the mirror and tell the truth and shame the devil.
No excuse for taking this lady's life..that's anyone in this manner.
Personally, he would never see the light of day if I sentenced him…gray bars for life without the possibility of parole
What a terrible event. I can’t believe that he still had a valid driver’s license. All those drug related offenses…Geez. I’m so sorry for the victim, her family, work colleagues, and loved ones. There are so many options these days–an Uber, a cab, a couch, abstinence, an AA meeting, etc.
Productive member of society? This man has been locked up over 13 times, and the majority of the arrests are traffic-related. Lock him up and keep him there!
the toxicology report will show what an intentional act this was that murdered an innocent person
Christina Christiansen, I know the victim and her family very well. How dare you say it was a freak accident?? He was arrested for DUI and there are witnesses that he was obviously driving impaired. He killed an amazing nurse that dedicated her life to helping others. She was a beautiful person, inside and out that never hurt anyone. Her family, friends and coworkers are totally devastated by his stupid decision. Their lives will never be the same without her. He absolutely should be charged with murder and since you seem to know his condition that morning so well and you allowed him to get behind the wheel when he was impaired, you should be charged as well.
This was my cousin that he killed. He was drunk. Plain and simple.
Christina, you are ridiculous. If you blow over the limit, you are intoxicated plain and simple. If you drive while intoxicated and cause an accident, it is not a freak accident.
Christina Christiansen You sound like a child. Doesn’t matter if he was sober or drunk. He hit someone head on. That person died. Now sit down and be quiet.
Investigation of the crash indicates he caused the crash & charged with DUI. The woman died. He murdered the woman. He didn’t intend to kill the woman. But he will probably serve 4 years, get out and do it again.
Nicely put the person who said we need to pray god bless the people in this and there families
Im taking up for him. Not one of you know the whole story, l however do and people are so quick to judge anybody can drink the night before and still blow over the legal limit, every one of you who any sense whatsoever should know that. He even slept the night before it was a freak accident and y’all need to think about that because something like that could happen to anybody that doesn’t matter about his priors for people thinking he’s a menace that’s your opinion he was getting his life together actually and he does not deserve death penalty nor life in prison in my opinion. Think about it what if the tables were turned… But I guess not because all of you are perfect right? Think about that… Would one of you deserve to have life in prison without or the death penalty for a freak accident no.
I’m not taking up for Randy. He was completely wrong for his actions. My heart breaks for everyone involved in this horrible situation. This man is my best friend. I know most people have bad things to say about him and they are justified. There is another side to him. He has been a friend to me for years. He has been a good friend to me. He isn’t a horrible person. Not in his heart. I know that this could have happened to 90 percent of the population. A few years back, this could have very well been me that hit the woman. It’s a horrible, horrible situation. I have no doubt that Randy will get the maximum sentence possible because if his priors. I’m not saying he shouldn’t. He has to live with the fact that he killed the lady for the rest of his life.
I am not taking up for him at all. I just wanted to share that by society’s judgment, he is a horrible person, but of you know him on the level that I do, he has a good heart. And he is a child of God, just like the rest of us. He will pay for his actions, just like the rest of us.
13 prior arrest for McBride . Yeah we know McBride . Menace to society !
@NPC – What about guns used to kill and maim innocent people? Are gun manufacturers responsible?
NPC—- EXACTLY!!!!!
Everyone makes mistakes.. Knowing Mr. McBride I know that it is going to be something that he will never recover from.. I’m quite positive that he didn’t wake Saturday morning and say I’m gonna go get in an accident a take a life.. I do not drink but have seen my share of drunk drivers in this town. It could have happened to anyone.. I was in an accident where a drunk drivers hit us head on and my friends mom buried all 3 if her children in the same day… In was in the hospital for over a year and the man that got us took 4 lives that day and he has since had for more DUI’s. Mr McBride is a productive member of society that has a heart. His family I’m sure it’s suffering maybe not in the same ways that the victims family is but all the whole suffering so remember that his mother.. His father.. His children still have to try to live their life and a bunch of judgemental people isn’t what anyone in the situation needs. So instead of judging start praying for all involved…
For years tobacco companies have been sued for the costs of care for those hospitalized with smoking diseases. When will alcohol producing companies suffer the fate for alcohol taking the life of others? What is the difference?
Hopefully he can drink prison hooch for about the next 30 years.
Man, what a wonderful bunch of people you are….the death penalty????:seriously!?? I bet you guys are the same people that would let child molesters serve out their terms in prison what about the death penalty for those people where’s your arguments on that? Do you even know McBride or the lady that got killed in this accident? If you don’t I would seriously caution about being so judgmental. You do realize that both of their families probably get on here and read these comments and you should put yourself in their place and ask yourself how would I feel if I read these comments. Regardless McBride was wrong for drinking and driving everyone knows that everyone understands that we don’t need you to say that. Just keep the families in your prayers cuz that is what they need more than any of this stuff right now.
I work at the prison in East Milton. Diaper snipers and drunks and rapist have it made in prison they have more rights than the staff that work here . Bleeding heart liberals have to much passion and give in.
Menace to society
Condolences to the family of the woman whose life was taken by McBride.
McBride is a drunk and should spend the rest of his life in prison. Too bad he can’t get the death penalty
