It really saddens me to hear stories of how people are killed in drunk driving accidents. I think what happened to this man is fair. He could have prevented that death but he still chose to drink and drive. If you know that you are endangering your life and the lives of other people, then really it is murder. I think drinking and driving is one of the most selfish acts that people can commit.
There was this boy that I taught last year. He has a lot of issues with his behaviour and controlling his emotions. I went and talked to the principal about it to see what the underlying issue was. It turns out that about 5 years ago he watched his twin brother get killed by a drunk driver. I was so upset to hear this. I can't believe that a child that young died from something so preventable, and his brother had to see the whole thing. That is why this kid is so messed up.
I wish that people who drink and drive could understand how it impacts other peoples' lives.
