There are _always_ two sides to every story. Sometimes both of them are very good, sometimes they're _both_ very bad.Well what did he do? I'm a pretty good judge of character if you tell me the crime!
In drunk driving fatalities, fucking _everybody_ loses.
One fundamental thing I've learned, in my almost seven decades of living, is that _judging_ people for their actions, when they fuck up and are at their _worst_ is that... _I'm_ in absolutely no fucking position to _judge_.
You're mileage, of course, may vary but in reading a couple of _your_ posts:
"I use to drink and drive ALL THE TIME!! unfortunately I only got caught 1 of those times!"
I'll repeat what I've already said:
There by the grace of God, go I.
You only got caught once. What if you didn't get caught and then someone stepped out between two parked cars, in complete darkness, and you hit and _killed_ them?
How would you like to being in your _eighth_ year of prison????? Only _two_ more to go, if you can just _survive_.
Quite obviously, your life would be so very fucking different than it is now.
Would that bring the dead person back?
Hopefully as you age, you'll learn not to be so judgmental.

No, I trust my Better Judgment just fine!There are _always_ two sides to every story. Sometimes both of them are very good, sometimes they're _both_ very bad.

Judgement is softened in religious doctrines to include 'discernment'.
I think we all judge. Sometimes righteously.
Sometimes when there are 2 sides to a story, one of them is a lie, or mostly/partly a lie.
One thing for us to remember when we do irresponsible or stupid shit, is that we may cause those near to us to suffer, as well as those we more directly victimize.
If a person took out one of my kids or my wife or crippled them for a long time or for life as a result of selfishness and irresponsibility, pronouncing the judge's name properly wouldn't even become a concern for them. It would never get that far..... whether they'd been inebriated or not. Simply driving irresponsibly and inflicting such harm would be a very personal moment for me.

been several folks popped for that near here in Hawkins Co, over the years. never heard of anyone on a skateboard or roller-skates...yet. tomorrow is another day.
My best friend was shot by his uncle.. a headshot from a .357mag. Uncle 'cleaned' the house of all his illegal shit (stolen items, guns, coke, weed, etc) while he left my dude on the floor in the bedroom. After he swept up he called 911 (30 minutes later)..
Uncle told the cops my dude shot himself with uncle's gun. Powder residue analysis proved that to be a lie. Uncle then said that he shot my dude but it was an accident .. playing around didn't know the gun was loaded..
I know it was all bullshit.. my dude told me 2 weeks before it happened that his uncle was going to murder him..
My dude lived through 2 brain surgeries and 2 weeks..
Uncle got charged with involuntary manslaughter.. did 3 years.
... Hell Hounds on your trail, boy.

That's really awful. I realize he left the scene and it made it so much worse, but I still sympathize over this situation and your friend.

Incarceration isn't enough justice? Getting beaten is more fitting? Wow. You sure seem like a real treat.

Unfortunately some people will never empathize with the misfortune of others. The positive side is that these conversations eek the ignorant and intolerant out of the woodwork for me to add to my ignore list, which is fucking glorious and getting bigger everyday.
Bicycles have the right of way in the Dam. Just ask them.Try Amsterdam. If the cars and cabbies don't kill you, the trolley might.

How performative of you.
My question is how did you type that with both hands on your hips and patting yourself on the back?

It's hard to make a rational decision when a person is drunk. My friend got pissed up and walked into a bank and demanded the till,got 2 less a day and when i visited him he said he didn't remember going in and it was the bank he kept his money in. Sober he is a shirt off his back kinda guy.
oh i know, and ive been there
but im older and hopefully wiser now so its rarely anything like fighting or that kind of trouble
its more like what happened to all the chips and dip kind of thing or finding out i ordered a bunch of shit off amazon a day later
hope your friend is seeing better days

We've had 3 hit and run deaths in the last year in Mn.
One turned themselves in, conscience couldn't handle it.
Other 2 still nothing, one was a Doctor walking her dog.
yeah, making a bad situation worse with no possible up side. panic is an unusual thing. nobody knows what they would do until it actually strikes. we all THINK we do, but...
got to talk to him tonight. put money on his tab and started a phone account so we can accept his calls finally. he's been moved to a medical facility west of Nashville, where he can get the treatment on his legs and feet he needs. where he was before was pretty much run by gangs that controlled phone usage etc. now, he has a room that he can lock the door to and nobody (other than staff) can open.

8 fatal hit and runs just in the City of Portland last year and another 14 fatalities due to alcohol related crashes. More than likely those 8 hit and runs involved impaired drivers so that would bring the total deaths due to impairment to 22.
Be safe out there. Not just for yourself but for everyone else. Don't drive impaired. Uber is your friend.
