Another drunk Mexican behind the wheel in Texas is nothing to write about. But this one was particularly stupid in getting arrested in Comal Co., where they will still enforce every law to the max.

The good folk of New Braunfels believe in law and order. When visitors from Houston and Austin trashed their lovely little river by covering it in beer cans every summer weekend, they passed a law that no beer in cans or glass can be brought to the river. You may bring it in a non-disposible thermos or go without. Gotta love the law-abiding citizens that value their town above the dollar.

Yep they’ll bust your arse in Comal county and I’m all for it, I have zero tolerance for drunks. After I got out of the Army in 72 I went to work for the Sheriff’s Dept in West Texas. We had 16 Churches, 22 bars 4 liquor stores and at least a dozen retailers that sold wine and beer. I can honestly say that 85% of my calls were alcohol related in some way or another. I’ve seen men, women and children abused and beaten. I’ve seen dead bodies on the highway and in vehicles and far too many suicides. A world without alcohol wouldn’t bother me in the least.

Why bring up the perp’s race?

A drunk behind the wheel is a drunk behind the wheel.

Yes, but they are a bunch of spoil sports. They limit each person on the river to no more than 17 quart coolers.
