Should Hit and Run Driver have had License Still?
Wed, 10 Aug 2011|
The Taunton man accused of killing a teen skateboarder in a horrific hit-and-run accident has seen his license suspended or revoked 16 times, but could one day find himself legally behind the wheel again — even if he is convicted — thanks to loose laws that have legislators howling for reform. Paul Baran, 55, has a nine-page driving record that includes leaving the scene of other accidents, drunken driving, speeding, refusing to obey police and nine surchargeable accidents. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving away after striking Nicholas Silva-Thomas, 17, on Thursday, leaving him dying on the road. Prosecutors said Baran admitted to police he hit the teen, but his lawyers said in court that Baran thought he hit an animal. Yesterday, Baran’s license was yanked for the 16th time in 22 years, as he sat behind bars on $100,000 bail. Should this man have been driving?

But the focus on my -- -- coverage I'm excited about that I know Chris is gonna miss -- especially and that's really why starry night. I -- -- -- get him as the Jimmy -- is silly rap because that is of financed rap song was created the show for the show. I had Berklee College of Music student named. Eric stone parents don't moon.

What it reminds of the -- my daily wrap. And then we have breaking and a beam. Hair. There. -- in my daily on opponents and says the song it's we it's we can anyone know what -- A baby. -- -- -- -- I love. That's not weekend. He'd musician and managed to use every want to the horrendous pick up lines. That Jimmy marginally level that his victims and really big and they weren't backed by -- states senator as they tried to go through the day -- -- -- way. How theft of services. Guess I was making at least 90000 dollars a year another network. Doesn't work but instead attacking women and lol which is not his district. Remember He was a former senator from Arlington and turned sexual predator Jimmy who thinks with -- as Willie Mars only. I had to crack up yesterday though. When I saw the globe story about what Jimmy Nardelli is up to now now that He is out of jail. My eyes went after it was those who leave office or at least -- -- leave the bats and going to the cool allows. That's what three -- told us He was when He was collecting his ball pay. After his June 3 2000 an -- arrest. When He lied and told Lowell police He was someone else is that it was state -- Marty Walsh Dorchester. -- Meringue. Is -- Car crazy. Veto that Martin -- returns serve two months in the bill America house of correction. He must clear an electronic monitoring device every year he's aren't probation for a five year is. -- doing. Heat is speaking out to the people. Arlington. Pretty instead that we might quit the senate He wrote I went wire rack to work on democracy protections. Really doing -- I rat. That -- -- and -- other than perhaps He had license to attack women who couldn't say anything about. Eight to name. Barack. So He goes on to say that pay. -- this. Is smarter reader is to die for. Next time you return to your real home here are not going to and you have to choose between my head this is Rita. I'm my camera -- Rita Jimmy Mars only route to a constituent. But. I served them hang any and strong. So the lifetime lawmaker told the globe and has burst media comments and being arrested that is not trying to reenter society because the double slap stick. He quit just -- in no way He pleaded guilty in February to sexually harassing for women during a bizarre spree. In downtown while He spent allowed two months in jail He didn't have to register as a sex offender back cricket you nabbed a woman's breasts and Lowell -- a park -- you're thinking have to register as a sex offender at all yet. Yup but that's -- reason. -- Garzelli. Doesn't have to register as a sex offender shocking incidents and by the way I think you Nardelli is still getting his pension. And we wonder why the state is rock. Is broke. The case -- really approached a woman sitting on a park and -- -- questions about a body in reached out -- -- He did just three more times that afternoon and want police to rat He falsely identified himself using the name of the former house colleague. And led them on a foot chase through a city that ended in a public parking garage that cost Ted and Mae east hand. He was weeping like a BBD don't lie and you are narrowing my life. Other women have since come forward. Mark -- checked himself into McLean hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. His wife explained that mark -- was bipolar. On Monday -- really. Downplayed the suggestion to the globe He was bipolar and said He acted up in a fit of hypo -- clouds by an adverse reaction. To steroids. Legally prescribed for another condition. He's in -- demands boy. Oh -- -- I He -- the one day thing. Wendy Murphy was a great attorney representing the victims she says all got a minute this second -- it's no one gave bipolar attack. Kids mean He. Break. Meet five break. So I just I don't let you listen to the Jimmy Maher is only wrap. Another time it's crazy thoughts but -- don't even crazier. And the story about this six teen. Time. Sick and I absolutely out of my mind over the story about this poor little taunting teenager. This kid Nicholas so -- Thomas. Who was killed He ski boarding -- killed by a hit and run driver. Up you find -- that keep her in this case of the accused her. Paul baron. Had been driving record added now -- -- ages Juan. Includes leaving the scene about their accidents. Drunken driving speeding. And now I -- charge of all accidents. This guide that -- had his license suspended our -- boat. Six. Teen happens. Sixteen. Times because lawmakers ever refused to put real laws -- -- six and parents. I'd driving -- that includes leaving the scene of other accidents drunken driving speeding refusing to Obey police nicer charge of all accidents. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving away after striking another teenager. He's struck this poor kid who's seventeen years old leaving him dying on the road. Prosecutors said that -- admitted to police He had the team by his lawyers said in court that Aaron. Thought He hit an animal are Apollo aides. Yesterday -- -- -- yanked for the sixteenth time in 22. Years. But. Debra Starr. -- -- -- Yeah it just personal is driving knowledge beyond outrageous. It is obviously had tragic consequences. The registrar needs to provide answers as to why this individual is driving with a record like that one. Good question and his -- in confidence goes back to my. Scalable all my own personal tale allow where I have been robbed of anywhere from two to 3000 goes by fast plane. Because it's incomprehensible that one state agency can't connect and another state agency to -- was somebody who lives with they bags to their partner and -- now instead. And his -- -- new rule fast planes that you have to re up. Boy you are residential discount that he's Boston north and south -- South Boston residents get. Every year of course Saturday notify you -- change in the rules via a postcards that apparently I'm not the only one -- -- We gonna look like junk mail. -- -- -- And now He has allegedly killed this teenager so what do you blame 6172666868. At 617. 2666868. Do you believe not mommy turns for allowing. This guy to drive. You know beautiful all The Herald is reporting that key. He kids know me legally get behind. The we'll. Why. Because hey. -- no authority for a lifetime revocation in its case. -- -- -- pretty has had no license suspended. Are -- sixteen and they should be yanked off the roadways. How many times should someone get locked up six point 72666868. How many times should someone license be suspended. Avoided just completely taken off the roads. Now the good the most disgusting thing about this guy is that once He -- this teenager He went back to his house and started their fixed. The car. Can you believe this -- time and -- noble. Registry officials said state are allows lifetime. Revocation only under specific. Circumstances. Which have been applied to -- so far. A fifth hole you why conviction. Refusal of a chemical test after three U I convictions motivate vehicular homicide conviction. Or conviction. Related. To a prior drunken driving conviction so that means despite his record. -- multiple citations accidents and medications. -- would face only a lifetime revocation if convicted of motor vehicle. -- It's crazy but He does He get sacked twice. So what you went up on beacon how do you have any idea. How many loopholes that like this. And state government how many times people are allowed. To get away with this kind of activity. In the meantime the state bureaucracy goes out -- law abiding taxpaying citizens. Over and over and over and over. Again so do you think this guy's license should be revoked forever six point 72666860. Day. How outraged you that this seventeen year old kid had a diet -- -- of the guy. Who has had his license suspended Arab vote sixteen times that's us. Sony -- Neil I am a sonic -- we are and succeeding WRKO. Wow I'm back Abbas and this is my stomach. RAM six feet of Iraq now. And he's the story that drive me out of my mind. This guy who is a complete. Mess. I'm and it's on the road He had his license suspended or revoked sixteen times He has hit people in -- cannot. He threat is worse than former senator granting legal shield that's. And now he's accused of killing -- -- Wiki confessed to cops but his lawyer denied that finally body in the animal and that's why He was clean the blood off his grill. From this -- okay. So that and staple water -- was a -- yesterday in time and an encore. As baron wasn't greens. His feeling gas. As prosecutors read T tales from Barron's driving record. Can you imagine that. I had and natural He driving record that includes leaving the scene of other accidents drunken driving speeding. Refusing. To Obey a lead and now I insert chart of accidents. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving away after striking Nicholas. Silva Thomas seventeen. Leaving him banging on the ground. But what is been raging. Senator Barbara Starr. Is the idea. That this guy you'll -- to drive again and so exactly. Needs to happen in this case 6172666868. -- and it backed. Just some of the nonsense. That we have put up with under the -- down -- -- -- driving scourge. And matter amongst elderly drivers had killed a police officer and when He met a month on some level a little -- across block. Plowed into a group of Vietnam vets. Who -- there for memorial. And it was supposed to take up this this. Cry if the legislation was very reasonable to -- it was 78 ideas all you have to be retested feel license. Now that. Apparently if you live many spots in South Boston not -- reaching up to one every year improving. Even known known animal Michael clarity what Intel is all white. Who was a city councilor. Had his fast rain. Suffer the same sort of ramifications. This guy. King -- to drive. Is absolutely absurd. And then have ray took a planned million man a PRP is not everything you can. We simply can't do anything about this guy. While -- why it's. So what do you think should happen six point 72666868. Bruce Starr is looking to -- -- trying to get online. I'm asking declined to the show. Now what do you from you Hank you I next what Michelle aren't feet. We don't let below He still liberals you know they just Qaeda recently had the criminals in the illegals -- -- and everything else. Because they know that I'm gonna get ultra -- that given them everything they possibly can we get votes but what this lull while. You know they don't care are allowed the law abiding citizens like us it's always they'll only get away what do you know what you don't low level. And ticket they Laporte and L. It. -- -- -- I can't allow ESPN and -- debacle. Popping -- anything you've got -- -- around 21 years ago you succeed in excise tax bill. And 21 years. We lived in the same as the Indians -- up to on this do you find in the past these I -- back. I don't -- prologue from nineteen. Well as in 1984. Packet -- its attend all of this semi semi built for 300 something dollars. Not from 1980 would now. 1984. Like I I sent an email I wanted to pull forward and it certainly -- staying calm. I'm what -- -- pitcher of the old up pocket ticket yes I have -- -- What I'm not buying up I -- until now. Exactly it's like Robert Green data but they get -- paid for the expectancy license. -- I -- like a kid that -- -- that -- that they're criminals you -- look at look that great for ten dollars plus the Arab. All the trying to go along with a unbelievable. I'm believable thank you think that's story that's got to Freddie Mac Freddie Brown atomic feet. All their whole idea how I finally I -- -- everything I love your show. Up what they just say what they're. Get -- ritual could -- she's too liberal. This is getting ridiculous but mild that's playing can't connect registries -- Lebanese -- Michael Leonard. -- -- -- It it's I think the feeling you. Would not yet ready I loved ones. You know that night in my heart I if I get hit by some moves like this and you look at the guys I've been marketed like -- You've got to -- Jacqueline. It's too liberal Massachusetts just so liberal expect it would a license. It's crazy. Apps that aren't right you know -- -- locked up drunk driving the yesterday. Right I had to pay -- in fines and I am after the Kathleen. -- Great great great I. Well sure 08 you know bad -- at a -- that's career I want you. Hi I have three things that okay first of all that the test to get your license and keep it. Is too -- I was driver's Ed teacher for four years in the state -- can just driver on the back -- the registry. Property and it told that would be hit. No nothing nothing involved. Second thing is. Another job they had was a corrections -- in -- When you drink and drive out there for the first time in if you did -- this -- did you be doing fifteen to life. And drinking and driving a carrot to five years in prison. And the third thing has. Did the right think about it means what happens to the. -- just Phillies they they're too lenient with people I'm a step 99 had no tickets I mean might try to drive correctly and now I've discussed some of the -- out -- like that. And He still driving I mean He is who's ensuring -- and the other thing is. He was drunk at the time of that what happened He was drunk. Well we don't know He was -- Right well them except to also stop looking at. If you're drunk maybe you shouldn't be driving you know they'd look at it. I mean I admit that the killing yesterday this guy locked up and and that right. Well they have at it's they say it's a disease you know what then you can't draft it's a privilege OK -- people I to have friends are alcoholics quote whatever. And maybe you shouldn't be driving I mean they make it's so restrict around here to carry a firearm. They have to start applying that to vehicles. There may be there there -- people in and and shocking coincidence they happen to be in the insurance industry. Like double dipper channel team to seek out and Amber's house with Steve -- Double dipper Timothy wants every are abiding donor to put insurance on -- nine per -- to look it's starting at a -- million dollars. I don't you like this and you know they -- snow removal which -- and money with -- -- -- teacher or it can register a car in Massachusetts race. And drive around with no license no intern. I used to tell my students you are getting a license for a loaded weapon you can do so much destruction of the vehicle. And I mean did they have to treat it like that they can't just put in and a license an actual plastic piece a piece of plastic does not. Tell these people -- the road you have to lock them up I had guys blocked up I worked in prison called what block locked up for five to ten. For second offense just causing bodily injury. Okay that you can't let these people back up they have to learn a lesson and stop that they only put in the car to make it run. It's -- it's Massachusetts to the problem starts with the licensing. And they finally got. People that are doing the -- And that is driving around the back and signing a permit. Starts there and accountability all the way through it all the way through and maybe if you have a drinking problem. Think president I mean there are so many acts on the payroll artistry in mass highway. And did not why asleep like the idea like this whole scam has been perpetrated upon me trust him by every minute of it. The idea that they somehow suggest that I moved east even though there's nothing to suggest that I ever left my place. And now they've been charging me three dollars and fifty cents every time -- -- the -- to use the title. Against my well it's both McCain forty cents but but -- try to explain to me that they cannot link to the registry. Possible. It's state agencies that deal with drivers. Are not linked to one another. It's ridiculous that how all the possible. That the DMV -- aren't being here beyond being Rachel apparently can say hey that's not the -- you know. I know the guys had a license suspended or about sixteen times He has refused to pull up a hot heat hit people and taken up before. This is a guy who Rihanna Olmert teenager according to police. An inkling of what happens on the -- it's. The -- that's fighting it that's destroying evidence and the other thing has. If you run for a peace officer in the -- Montana those western states one year mandatory. One year mandatory if you run its past a quarter mile she did not stop and a quarter of a mile and -- gasoline around here it's -- it's. It's it's ridiculous you're giving licenses. Fur it's a privilege and it's a weapon -- it's destructiveness. Piece of machinery and you have to be sold or He can't be hi running driving around. Should not drinking whatever you know you have to treat it like batteries tell the kids that all the time. That's crazy well thank you very much Chris for the calling your expertise. I am a -- we are hand 6080 WRKO the outrage today is up next.
