I'll probably get flamed for this, but I really don't care. Let's look at the facts, or the facts as we know them right now. Driving while intoxicated on a revoked license. Not wearing her seatbelt. Just a bunch of good natured fun? Something we all did as kids? Give me a break. Even as an irresponsible, reckless kid, I was smarter than that.
Gee, let's pick her up, dust her off and tell her that everything will be OK. Don't worry about it, no one got hurt besides yourself. Is all this empathy just because a couple of weeks ago she was the next rising star on the NHRA top fuel circuit? Are we that desperate for new heroes? What would you be saying if she had plowed head first into a car full of your loved ones and killed a couple of them?
In my humble estimation, this sounds like a spoiled rich kid who's been coddled and protected all her life. Who drives drunk on a revoked license? That's just plain stupidity, or maybe just the ultimate in arrogance.
Of course I'm sorry that she's hurt and in the hospital. I'm a parent, I have kids of my own. I hope for a speedy recovery for her. Once healed, she has a lot of growing up to do. I hope they throw the book at her, maybe it will teach her a lesson. That type of irresponsible behavior should not be condoned. Of course I'm sure that Daddy will get her off without any repercussions.
I would hope that anyone else who's suffered at the hands of a drunk driver would agree. Flame suit on.
