Fuck drunk drivers up the ass with a spike-studded lunchbox without lube. I lost a close friend to one of them. A mother of three. Hit by an asshole who was driving drunk, had multiple DUIs on his record, ran a red light on a suspended license, and hit her car dead-on. He escaped charges on a technicality. There's absolutely no reason he should've escaped a manslaughter charge, and hell, I would've gone further - what he did was murder.
My story isn't unique. A lot of people can point to lives ruined by drunk drivers. Three families - Khyree's, Anthony's, and Isaiah's - are now going to be without their sons because of a person driving drunk. According to NHTSA, 11,000 people die a year because of drunk drivers. One alcohol-related death per thirty-nine minutes. In 2022 alone, more than 280 children died from alcohol-related killings - because that's all you can describe it as.
And don't say that it's just alcoholics, that people "can't help themselves". My dad may be a completely alcoholic asshole who slams beers and wine like it's Octoberfest, but at least he doesn't drink and drive, and if he can figure that out, there's no excuse for anyone else.
No. More. Excuses.
