No one is saying that he meant to hit the other man. And accidents happen.

Was he driving drunk? We'll never know. Apparently driving while texting/web surfing isn't that bad in South Dakota, although in other places it might be.

What's the worst part of the incident is the way he has lied and evaded taking responsibility. He has acted like someone covering up wrongdoing. Here, the coverup is worse than the crime.

And is there a chance the man could have survived? We'll never know. This story is absolutely insane.

What do you think? Google Street View is incredible.

LOL. That "ditch" is a whole 8 or 9 inches deep! So much MAGA integrity!

What a standard-issue lying "conservative" MAGA ass-hat this guy is. Part 2 is rich:

At no point, does he ever appear to reflect on or consider the simple truth of "Hey, I killed a guy." It's all about him and his shitty Republican political career.

Classic heartland phony. It's great when he tries to sway the cops with his cornpone "Why, shucks, I gosh darn golly don't remember for sure enough, you betcha" act.

Don't worry, everyone! “Jason exemplifies the Midwestern values of honesty and integrity.”

At 2:03:55 at the conclusion of the second police interview Ravnsborg shows his true self: "I had no idea this was going to happen to me... I'm driving along and then whaam, my whole life changes!"

More Jason Ravnsborg fun facts: He loves guns ("a lifelong member of the NRA"), and opposes LGBT rights (although age 44 and never married & no known girlfriends.) Quirky!

How did they capture this photo? HE DROVE THIS DAMAGED CAR THE NEXT DAY (BACK TO THE SCENE)????????

No, this is the next morning. The police took this photo.

Hyde County Sheriff Volek arrived in the middle of the night and gave the AG his personal vehicle. AG drove back to Pierre.
The AG then drove Sheriff Volek's car back the next day. Before dropping it off, he decided to stop by the crash site and then found "the body in the grass on the other side of the ditch."

Here's the AG's BS statement on the fact pattern: https://www.newscenter1.tv/content/uploads/2020/09/stmt.pdf

I don't follow. How did the red car get back to the crash scene? Towed or driven -- driven by who?

It never left the crash scene until the next day.

The red car never left the scene. The AG took another car (owned by the sheriff) home.

The red car was left overnight. This is presumably the next day, when cops were available to do a full report and for the tow truck to move the vehicle.

Ravnsborg was tooling along at high speeds, reading FoxNews.com(!) on his Android, and hit a guy who was walking along the side of the road and carrying a flashlight that was turned on. (It was still on the next morning when police examined his body.)

The guy's face smashed through the windshield of the car (his glasses ending up *inside* Ravnsborg's car), his body, for a time, travelling on the hood of the car before falling to the side of the road, landing less than two feet from the shoulder. Where aw-shucks Jason just couldn't see him or his glowing flashlight.

Ravnsborg then stopped, about 150 feet down the road, and , after 1-2 minutes, called 9-1-1 laying down a aw-shucks "Why I think I just hit a deer... but I can't be too sure..." line with the operator (cue: Plausible deniability!)

Upon the 9-1-1 call, a local sheriff (the area is remote) was dispatched from his home, and upon being informed by Ravnsborg that he (Ravnsborg) was the Attorney General of the state, lent him his personal car to drive home, with the agreement that Ravnsborg would return it the next day. And, tah-dah!, that's when the dead guy got "discovered."

Ravnsborg didn't "mean" to kill the guy, but you don't get a ribbon for that, and the guy died because of Ravnsborg's negligence, who has has done nothing but lie, and lie, and lie, and lie, and keep on lying. And it may work. Welcome to MAGA-land!

Republicans -- they're all about ethics, and morals and integrity and "doing the right thing."

Watch the interviews. The guy is 100% transparent and sounds like an Eagle Scout. I don't think this should be politicized. He immediately gave them full access to his two phones, his car, and spoke without an attorney for two hours.

A sheriff didn't hand over his personal vehicle to a drunk guy, AG or not. So I think that can be put to bed.

The red car was taken back to the crash site the next day by police to conduct skid testing, which the AG permitted.

100 transparent, hilarious. He's working a cornpone, "Well, golly gee fellas I wish I could help ya more" angle and it starts falling apart as the interview goes on. There's no big mystery. He was surfing the Net, while driving, and he hit and killed a guy. Then he started lying to try to get out of it. It's working so far. MAGA!

No sarcasm, how do you prove he was surfing the net at the exact moment of or moment before impact? Does a 2011 Ford Taurus have features that record precise time of a crash?

And if he had so much to hide, why did a lawyer not lawyer up immediately? I thought he came across well in the interviews. You want to beat him up because he's a Republican and you're just assuming he's a liar, go ahead. I was trying to be impartial and I think he came across overly forthright.

If he was trying to be a sneak, he would have lawyered up and destroyed the phone he was surfing the net on.

The police vacuumed up his phone data and they know, and confronted him with the fact, that we was reading an article critical of Joe Biden (alleging he's a 'slave to China') less than two minutes, as in one minute and change, before he dialed 9-1-1.

The guy is was surfing the Net (which all kinds of people do, idiotically, look around sometime when you're driving, you see it a lot) and he hit and killed a guy, and then made a call to 9-1-1 saying "Why, gee whiz, I do believe I hit something, maybe a deer" [wearing glasses and carrying a flashlight.]

He should've faced the music and hoped for the best. But he didn't. He lied and kept on lying. The fact that he's a sniveling Republican MAGA dork just makes it more annoying, but not any worse.

And yes, event data recorders in cars record all kinds of stuff. Why didn't he "lawyer up?" He's the f**king AG of the state. He IS the law. And he was working his lies to see if he could ride this out and make it go away. MAGA in action.
