You can only hit someone fatally once
For those lacking in understanding basic definitions Merriam-Webster definition 1a for fatal is ‘causing death’. Examples are a fatal crash a fatal disease and a fatal wound. All singular. Because once you’ve killed them you can’t kill them again.

Well then which of the three hits was the fatal one?
Then_Personality6928 t1_iqu34dn wrote
Not necessarily true. Each time you hit someone it may cause injuries that alone would not be fatal but taken in totality do cause death. Probably not in this case.

Economy of words for news titles is more about general meaning and expects some reasonable defection to be made. Losing some precision to accommodate paucity of space is rational.

Just to play this word game, it is completely possible to hit someone fatally three times--so long as there is a delay between the strike and death. So, if
Run over #1 - fatal in ten minutes; Run over #2 - fatal in eight minutes; Run over #3 - fatal in one minute;
then each strike was fatal but only the third killed the victim.
And also, fuck that guy.

Well in this case it seems that every hit produced fatal injuries independent of each other. The culmination of three consecutive fatal hits resulted in death.

Fatally (hitting minor 3 times), not fatally hitting minor (3 times)

>Records indicate he was convicted of driving while intoxicated in Harris County in 2015, convicted of DWI in Freestone County in 2016, and also convicted of DWI in Fort Bend County in 2020.
He is still serving 5-year probation for the 2020 DWI conviction.
He was on probation from the last time. Should have thrown him in prison a long time ago.

I don't think you thought this one through. You definitely can be hit fatally multiple times if the fatality isn't instant. Maybe you think all fatalities are instant, they aren't.

I’ve never known a dog to commit a hit and run.

Yeah it’s pretty absurd that in many states you don’t really start seeing prison time until like the 5th DUI. Even then the time is pretty petty for how serious it is.
I got two when I was young and stupid, the worst that happened was 7 days of house arrest. Penalties definitely need to be stiffer, especially for people who are significantly over the limit.

I'd never seen the word either. I was curious enough to look it up - apparently it dates back to 1937 and is mostly in use in the Southern US.

Well if TX dui law is anything like my state, felony Dui is more like a glorified misdemeanor. Only up to 1 year jail/prison. And they only go to prison after several rounds of treatment and "last chances". Our prison system has said we dont want your dui people. There are no services in prison. It's a mess.
fight_your_friends t1_iqw5lar wrote
But you see, we can't impose stiff penalties for DUI because people need to drive because we couldn't possibly build a robust system of public transportation. It's just too difficult!
PeterP211 t1_iqw8chq wrote
Considering he murdered a 6-year old by intentionally running over him 3x - one of which was parking the car over the child’s face - any concern about lax DUI punishment is probably out the window.
This guy’s most likely facing lethal injection for something this brazen and wantonly cruel.

and here I've been in GA for over 35yrs and haven't really seen it, I might have but it just didn't register and it def isn't common even slightly. Now 'lavandaria' is certainly a common word around my parts.
Seems like someone did a fangle of cafeteria and someone thought it was cute and kept on using it.
this is likely a regional thing, did a google search for businesses and zero are called this in a 40+mile radius near me.
edit: and in doing even more 30s research I find this term is likely very specific to Texas

I'll bet this is regional since it's not common in my area (GA) and I'm old and haven't really seen this more than maybe a couple of times in many decades. Did a google search for businesses and zero are called this in a 40+mile radius near me.

Now that's certainly interesting. I wonder how the Spanish word became the more common term for it over "laundromat."
bannana t1_iqxj9gy wrote
lavandaria isn't more common than laundromat over all but it's definitely the second most common term with washateria not really even in the running in my area, it's just not used. we have a fairly large latin/hispanic population in GA so lavandaria is to be expected.

I went to jail with an old guy who was doing weekends for his DUI. The time he finally got punished, was after his 7th DUI, when he got caught twice in the same week by the same cop.

The guy even “Smirked and tried to drive away” but the grandfather who was walking with the kid, yeeted the fucker out of the car and pinned him till others came to help. Horrible experience for that poor grandfather, but glad he kept his presence of mind and now that fuckers going to jail.
