You sir are more than an ass. You are gangrenous pus oozing out of an infected limb, a mindless, unfeeling piece of shit.
I have three kids with the last learning to drive. At 17 to have their life cut off, their family devastated, nothing left ...
Just so you know - kids think they’re invincible - they think they’ve got it all together - they’re mistaken and we do our best to caution them but we cannot always be there. We hope and pray our lessons have been learned but a moments inattention in today’s world can be deadly.
A silent prayer for the gal, full of a life cut short, her family, friends and you.
“they’re mistaken and we do our best to caution them but we cannot always be there”
Unfortunately that is ALL most parents do: Talk. No oversight. No riding with them and teaching. No discussions. No discipline when found to be infracting. Nothing, just hollow words. The lazy SOBs then think they are good parents.
Thanks for the prayers. I’m sorry that my sarcasm inflamed you so much. It was not my intent. I have had a close friend killed by a drunk driver. A co-workers daughter was killed by a vehicle driven by another teen while she was texting. I have seen first hand the tragedy that the families have to endure. Needlessly so. You are right that kids think they are invincible. I’m sure that as a kid I thought I was too. My parents instilled the idea that everything has a consequence. I didn’t have the luxury of all the electronic devices that allow kids or adults to be that distracted behind the wheel. Since I don’t believe we need a bunch of laws to protect us from ourselves, it is up to us to have some common sense and not do stupid things while behind the wheel. I agree with you that the lesson that should be taken away from this tragedy is that ‘a moments inattention can be deadly’. Prayers back to you and your family.
