Driver who killed musician walking had been arrested over 100 times
Story by Isabel Keane • 5h

A Rhode Island driver struck and killed a Grammy-nominated musician who was walking his dogs over the weekend – as police reveal she had over 100 prior arrests.

Roderick MacLeod, a 70-year-old musician, was walking his dogs on Route 128 around 7:21 a.m. Saturday, when he was hit and killed by an SUV, police in Hopkinton, just on the border of Connecticut, said.
 
The driver, 41-year-old Shannon Godbout, hit multiple objects, including two telephone poles, before striking MacLeod as he walked on the shoulder of the road with his dogs.

MacLeod is well-known as a bassist in the nearby town of Richmond, according to the report. He received a Grammy nomination as a member of the jump-blues and swing band Roomful of Blues in the 1980s.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

I can understand why Rhode Island didn't pull her license and make sure she never drove again.  100 arrests for a drug abuser is hardly a threat to innocent people. *****rollingeyes*****
