Drunk Driving Prevention? Lost my son to a drunk driver!A Story by Deborah Leah Krempa
Alcoholism
is a self inflicted disease, is a selfish state of mind, and the
choices one makes under the influence are detrimental to the lives of
others as well as one's self. When allowed to get behind the wheel of an
automobile the auto becomes a potential deadly weapon in the hands of
an idiot. no pun intended, my son was killed and maimed by a drunk
driver, he saved the life of tiny toddler of 4 yrs old who was scalped
and had to have his crown sewn back together, he also lost his mother
that day, and his father injured in a coma, the 4yr old identified my
son and his parents to the police officer that found them, the accident
happened because it was during a police chase, whereas the perpetrator
was running from police. and so caused a horrible wreck. We need ZERO
TOLERANCE ON OUR ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, We need the devices to stop the
automobile from moving when someone is drunk, we need tougher laws, and
more rehabilitation centers . They tear down old hospitals and old
schools when they could be putting these buildings to good use. The tax
payers should be able to have a vote as to the use of these structures
in their communities for the welfare of it s citizens, we need more dry
counties. The drunk driver in our case only got ten years in prison for
killing 2 innocent, people injuring two, where is the justice in that?
He was multiple time offender of drinking and driving, also was high on
cocaine, is he being punished to the extent of the laws of this land or
is he being rehabilitated by spending time in prison? or will get out
one day and do it again, or commit a worse crime? I wonder. and I don't
like what my eyes can't see.
