I hate to post sad news, but this one I can't get out of my head.
Pacific is a very small town, so when something bad happens it's usually to someone you know. A good friend of ours daughter (18), her boyfriend (19), and his roomate (20) were killed by a drunk driver that crossed the center line of a two-lane hwy just outside of town last night. My son and daughter are absolutely devastated, they've been friends with all three since they were in kindergarten. Drinking and Driving.......just don't do it PLEASE! The car in the pic was a Volvo...hard to tell. Attached image(s)

I am so sorry for this loss, this shit really bothers me, and DUI is preventable but unfortunately when the brain is affected by alcohol all bets are off. What seems so preventable seems doable for the drunk. It's the same for some forms of mental illness the brain is just not firing correctly and the person is not aware of the seriousness of the problem. I am not comparing DUI to mental illness just that the brain is the component that is in common. Drunks have the option of not drinking and driving but some people just don't get it. I have experienced someone with mental illness and they were just not aware of how they were being affected by the chemical imbalance in their brain.
It might be time for mandatory breath ignition testing, I know that is intrusive but it sure would make allot of people walk home from the bars. |
