No license, no insurance, driving drunk….Whose car did she have?!?!? Her bad decision to break many laws caused the death of an innocent on his way to work. So tired of people being let go till court appearances only to break more laws !

@@williamcrossley9820 well you are rare. You are the first I've ever seen to hold them or yourself accountable which earns respect. But if you are the rare one who is actually acknowledging that and holding them accountable then that makes you different than the rest who don't simce none do. That makes you better and earns people's respect especially if you don't act on any of it you'll be seen and treated better then how the population sees and treats them. Respectful and civil behavior earns better treatment as well as respect from others. We can't understand why the rest do everything they can to make the world around them dislike them and look down on them so much as they do? It's mind boggling

@@user-ux8np2gf1h i worked with a young black man from l.a. on catalina island. he was treated so well yet did about everything to change it, all the way down to wearing his pants down exposing his butt. at a kid's camp. i gave him the benefit of the doubt but he stole my stuff out of a dryer, stole from other people. my boss, who was a decade younger than i, said he'd never hire another black person because he caused so much trouble. you had to follow behind him and clean up the ranch dressing smears and everything. he was a disingenous slob who had an excuse for everything, immoral.

I drank and drove while I took 4 bars of Xanax. I crashed my sisters Fiat, totaling it doing 80 in a 40. I crashed into a family car (which took little to no damage according to my family). I don’t remember anything from that day besides waking up at inpatient. I was knocked out by the crash, people rushed to my aid and pulled me out of the car. Apparently, I said “The voices did this to me.” I have schizoaffective disorder. That scared me to never drink and drive again. Though, I still drank heavily for a year after that. Please don’t drink and drive. I got so lucky, I didn’t even have to go to court. I am ashamed in the man I used to be. All over a breakup…. I can’t understand my past self anymore. Easier said than done, I know. But seek help if you believe you have a drinking problem. All of this stuff can compound into doing things you never thought you would do. I never took Xanax “recreationally” before, nor did I ever consider ACTIVELY drinking and driving. I didn’t remember that situation until I saw this video. Save yourself from yourself.
