This is reality, people die. My comments are going to offend you because the following amount of reality is going to appear cruel. Possibly because you don't have kids yet, and a desire to take things into your own hands rather than ring gun-wielding pen-pushers (the cops).
I think your story is very good, but I still think he is very lucky he did not hit a car with some nice family in it on their way home from Grandmar's. The driver deserves to die, that car could have run into my car with my family in it.
i agree the driver deserves to die - believe me, if it was me i would want to. remember that people may keep themselves alive as a selfless act - i would want to kill myself for what i've done, but imagine the impact that would have on my own family. imagine if it was one of your kids, would you still want them to die ? or would a better solution be for them to become an advocate for anti drink-driving or similiar ?
beating the fuck out of someone won't do jack - if it was me you would more than likely end up with a combination of my family and all my mates on your doorstep with shotguns and a commodore doing a burnout in your driveway. THIS is the reason people get the jacks involved. beating the shit out of people will not do a goddamn THING to solve the problem.
See, you don't get it cause you don't have kids. One day you will understand it.. if you make it that far in life. I also once laid down a bit of rubber here and there with the same attitude.. now I see it differently.
I remember thinking at about 17 that it was weird that my neighbour loosened the wheel nuts on my car once after I carried on in the street I grew up in. Now I respect that attitude.
for starters: what the fuck, loosening your wheel nuts ?! what the hell says you'd even notice ? would this not INCREASE the likelyhood that you fuck someone up, i.e a wheel flys off at a 100km/h burnout and flys through your living room window ?
secondly, if that's what you were like at that age, and you can totally understand why you were that way, i'm sure that you had people saying the same things to you yes ?
if so, why the FUCK do you expect people that age today to be any different ?!
finally, to go with breaka's question about the cigarettes, you didnt happen to be abused as a kid or grow up in a particularly violent environment did you ?
people who do usually understand nothing else, as it's usually all they've ever known.
