FR, I know it hurts because he is your friend. I might feel similar and want to make excuses if it was someone close to me too, but I think after my emotions calmed and my logic took back over Id have to admit he deserves MUCHO prision time. He should be made example of. It would be worth it if it even made one person think twice about driving drunk.

 

Driving drunk? I guess you could qualify that as a mistake. When you hit someone, drag them down the street while underneath your car, and then back up so that you can flee the scene??? That is not mistake. That is knowing you're in deep shit and trying to get your ass out of it. THAT is being a piece of SHIT.

 

It was just a scooter being dragged bert not the person, but anyway I get your point.

 

I don't particularly believe in a heaven or hell, but if there is a hell I hope Satan reserves a special spot in hell for drunk drivers right next to Hitler and Carlos Mencia.

 

Fuck your friend. I might be an asshole for saying so but at least I don't kill people and run from the scene. Put yourself in the victim's wife's shoes, or maybe his kids.

 

I used to do a fair bit of occasional drinking and driving. It's stories like these that made me realize just how reckless I was being, even if I seemed to be driving fine.

 

I can't really say much that hasn't been said. Prayers to everyone involved.

 

Sorry to hear about the whole situation flyro. It always sucks to observe a friend get whipped by the law for doing something stupid/idiotic. Losing an acquaintance sucks also.

I try to learn from others' mistakes as often as possible.

 

Your friend should rot in hell. He didn't even stop. Well, technically he did to shake the scooter loose. Rot in hell I said.

 

The street being poorly lit probably didnt help but being drunk was largely to blame. I can see where you're coming from trying to rationalize it because I'd probably do the same thing if it were my friend. I feel bad for you, the victim's family and for him. A few moments really can shape your life good or bad. Unfortunately he made a bad decision and decided to drive drunk. Then after he hit someone he ran. Not only did he run but he tried to hide the car. A series of bad decisions really fucked him. He could be a good guy that just really messed up and know he has to pay the piper. Not in hate at all but I do hope your friend sees prison time because that is just senseless. Someone lost a father because someone wanted to drink and figured they could drive. I fully suspect he'll wake up everyday and think about what he's done and regret the decision to get behind the wheel that night.

There will be some blowing going on. Probably in prison though.
