The good die young.... Dont drink and drive

Not really the type to put my business out there but i just got word today that one of my favorite uncles passed away yesterday. Drunk driver hit him head on at 5am while he was going to work. My fam is pretty devastated right now. I know a lot of us on here party and might not make the best decisions... But be smart and know that its not just your life your putting in danger when you drink and drive.

That's why drunk drivers should be shot on the spot after failing a breathalyzer test. Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out.

What makes it worse is the drunk driver had no insurance or drivers licence, and my uncle was a single father leaving behind his 14 year old son...

Damn it sucks that your uncles life was taken and not the ugly mf'er who is drunk at 5am

I hate driving sometimes for fear of unlicensed/uninsured drivers...**** them all!

Condolences.

A guy I worked with and his fiancee were hit by a drunk driver in Napa in the middle of the day on Easter day. He was so drunk he didn't even know he hit them and kept going. An off duty police officer witnessed the incident, followed him and took him into custody. My friend died, his fiancee survived.

Nothing is worse than senseless deaths just because someone was drunk. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.

I am really really really sorry to hear this. My most humble condolences to you and your loved ones.


I hate hearing stuff about this. No insurance and driver's license?? The level of irresponsibility just pisses me off. I don't drink as much as I used to now, and don't even get near as plastered. Which is a good thing I guess because I never drink at home. Being an uncle myself and having a large family, reluctantly has taught me to be more responsible.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! In reality, the least of your worries is a DUI.

Don't ever come driving up here in the North Bay then. The politicians want to make the LE up here announce when and where they're holding the drunk checkpoints because they catch too many illegals driving without a license or insurance. They want to let them off so they can run over innocent children (happened recently). None of them have a license or insurance...so they simply run back to wherever they came from after killing innocent people.
