OT - Drunk Driving

[eastsidecrossover]

I hope this message gets out there and see how important it is not to drink and drive. I think it is important after the latest news.

We have read about some current and former athletes DUI’s and poor decision making. I want to share a personal story from today. One of my best friend’s relative lost his two sons to a drunk driver. These boys were 10 and 4 yrs old and their life was taken from them by some stupid idiot who made a decision that will hunt them the rest of their lives. The killers are actually minors who fled the scene after the accident.

This story hits even closer because I know the father and I have two boys of my own. My thoughts and prayers are with this family in their lost.

All I ask is for people to do is take this serious. Have a good time, but make good decisions so you will not have to take someone’s life by your poor decision making.

I lost my best friend after he was killed by a drunk driver, so I second your message in its entirety.

Sorry to hear about that incident. Hits close to home, drunk drivers can ruin people's lives so don't be stubborn.

I hope that Karma haunts the killers with life long guilt. I can't believe how many people do it while they know how severe the consequences are. $20 bucks on a cab is nothing. On average, a D.U.I will cost a person $8000+ in repercussions.

I have 0 time for drunk drivers. I lost my little bother to a car accident and it had nothing to do with alcohol, so it just goes to show that alcohol only makes matters worse. Accidents happen, so why increase their risk?

Sorry for all those who have lost someone, anyone, close to them because of car accidents, especially those involving the blatantly retarted actions of irresponsible people.

We all make poor decisions, we just need to make sure our decisions don't end up taking a 10 and 4 year old away from their families forever.

Sorry to hear all of this eastside. My thoughts and prayers go out to that family. Same goes for you rsavaj, I cant imagine.

Drinking and driving is no joke. My thoughts and prayers go out to the the families and friends that have lost a loved one due to the stupidity of DWI.

Damn how the hell do you get in a a car accident on Sossaman & Elliot? There's nothing there but a stop sign on a single lane road and a dairy farm. I wonder what happened, they had to have cruised right through that stop sign or something. Man what a bunch of dumbasses those kids are.
