Questions:
-Was this the kid's car or his parents'? -Did his parents know he was out? -Should he be tried as an adult? (I say yes. He considers himself adult enough to drink booze, so let's give him what he wants.) -Does this mean we should all drive SUVs?
RIP.
I’m sure I will need my flame-proof underwear for my thoughts on this... but oh well:
I don’t care if this murderer was 17 or 70.... He made the decision to drive, to get drunk and drive, and now has blood on his hands just as sure as if he had taken a knife and slit the victim’s throats.
It is past time to end the namby-pamby treatment of drunk drivers who injure or kill others. I’m sick of “negligible homicide” or “vehicular homicide”. Drunk drivers who kill - premeditated their crime which led to the death of others.
If someone plans out a bank robbery, with no thought or intention of ever actually hurting someone... but the day of the planned crime rolls around, and while in the bank - panics and shoots someone, killing them... that person still can face the death penalty in some states. Even though the perp didn’t have any plans of killing someone.
I’m sure the drunk “Juvenile” in this case didn’t “plan” to kill someone... but the danger is ALWAYS there when one chooses to drink and drive.
When driving at night on a divided highway, don’t drive in the left lane unless you can see taillights in the lane ahead of you.
To someone going the wrong way, their right-hand lane is your left lane. Someone driving drunk is probably going to be extra “careful” and drive in their right lane.
Prayers for the families of the victims.
Only the driver in the SUV, but the front and back passenger doors are open? Why do I think that his passengers took to the woods.
Expensive car - perp is probably from a ‘good’ family. The matter will probably disappear. And it looks like no one is going to be interested in sorting out who else might have been in the car - perhaps from even ‘better’ families.
I have a feeling that justice will be served one way or the other, depending on if the victims’ families have the percentage of psychos my family has.
I’m betting the “juvenile” was not proficient in English. He wouldn’t have made it that far if he was so blind drunk he just couldn’t read or understand road signage, he’d have crashed well before. Wrong way fatalities once were the domain of elderly drivers on medication. They’re now known for being illegal immigrants.
This horrible wreck does not/should not determine what we all ought to drive. That's the kind of thinking the Left employs--because something bad happened, everyone else should be penalized, no matter how responsible we may be.
The kid should be charged with Muder 1 — and whoever supplied him with alcohol should receive the same sentence the kid gets.
