I don't understand what is so important that people need to drive when they're drunk... If you have something important to do or go to, don't drink. I really hate when my friends tell me, "I almost got a DUI..." those type of friends never have my respect. I have an older sister myself, and I can't even comprehend the pain you must be experiencing. If it even means anything to you, my heart goes out to you and your family.

Sorry to hear that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
What happened to the drunk driver? Is he going to jail? If not, go kill him. That's what I would do.

I dont mean to take this thread too off topic. But I just worked with this guy, he is about 30. Had 5 DUIs. I had asked him a bunch of time why did you keep driving drunk. he said "I had to get gome". I didnt ask him anything after that, because that was just a silly *** response. But he doesnt have his license anymore either, and hasnt for a long while.
when people are drunk, they just don't know better or thing they can drive home. it seems uncool these days to plan ahead, and who the hell wants to go to a bar and not drink?
Yea.. you're right, it's a pretty pitiful excuse, but people need to have a little more common sense than that. DUI punishments aren't strict enough, it's like a slap on the wrist. I mean 5 DUI's? It shouldn't go past two without their license being revoked...
But they should be walking into that bar prepared to deal with their own actions. Meaning, they should have an exit strategy whether it means getting a ride from a cabby, designated driver, or even a police officer. I'm pretty sure they will give you a ride home no questions asked.
I shouldnt say I, we (people on our shift) asked him a bunch of times. But yeah. The only thing I remember him sayin about not planning ahead was sometimes he was at the strip club alone.
Johnnybusa, keep up updated on what happens to the guy.

I'm almost certain a cop would rather drive someone home than drive to someone's house and break tragic news.
I feel for you busa, keep your head up.

Well, friends, its been a LONG last 2 days, dealing w/ this shit. The thing that is choking me up the most is that my sisters daughter, my 4 year old niece is now w/o either parent. The father was a dead beat drug addict, and the last time I saw him, I was putting my hands thru his face. In 4 years, he NEVER paid her 1cent, and I dont play that......I spent a weekend in jail for that, but every second was worth him picking teeth up in the parking lot.
Now, I have a 20 month daughter, and I'm 31 years old. I'm going to try to get my niece to live w/ me, my wife, and my daughter. I just cannot believe this is happening. I saw her earlier that day when she stopped by my home to give my daughter a doll she bought her.
The deal w/ that *********************************scumbag.............
He already has 2 dui's, and somehow had his bread and butter license. Somehow, he got past the car breathalizer he had and drove hammered. The cop told me he may never see another free day for the rest of his life. Although I'm glad to hear that, It just doesnt matter now........I just want sis back.
Its gonna be roughest getting $$$ together to help pay for her burial. My other siblings and I are gonna chip in.
Tomorrow, I may be putting my whole system up for sale, so check for that.
Really have no choice, and, well priorities......
Anyway, I really want to thank each and every one of you who replied w/ those kind words, and they truly did help alot.
I'm gonna now try to get my daughter to bed, and do the same....goodnite.

Exactly what I was thinking. Make sure you've got some good people to talk to, vent to, cry to, whatever...
