How in the world did we get from a man drinking and driving to red-necks. Wow! This really is silly.
The dangers we all know. Some of you I am sure have abused drinking and driving. But haven’t got caught……yet. Mr. Pitts, All these people who called about you did the right thing. You in time will be punished. Please stop drinking altogether. And if you are one of those who can handle his booze and drinks and drives, well I hope you are as lucky as Mr. Pitts and kills no one or hurts himself. I don’t understand why humans try to justify drinking. Those that speak out against drinking are usually called, “holley rollers”; “think their better”; “can’t hold their beer”, and much more. Well they are smarter.
I speak from experience, my son is dead because of a drunk driver that could hold his “licker”‘

Funny thing J,

My wife is a Northview graduate and is currently finishing up her Masters in Accountancy while working full time as an accountant. If you want to define that as being a redneck, then I guess it’s not such a derogatory term after all. I’m proud to be married to one. Life’s pretty good because of her being a redneck – if you go by your definition. Now, if only I could be a redneck, man, we would have it made!

Pitts……you almost hit my 17 year old nephew head-on. He had to go into the ditch to miss getting hit. If you had hit him…..I would be introducing myself to you personally. It would not be a “friendly” introduction…..i promise. WISE UP DUDE!!!!!!

REGARDING:
“That’s the last time I will post or read anything in your redneck paper. I guess you do not want to hear the TRUTH!”

What’s Wayne all worked up about?

By the way, white people working in cotton fields got sunburned necks, ned necks. The elite considered such work only for black people and used the term to denegrate white working class people.

Interesting that rednecks are now considered racists when the term is racially derogatory in the first place by the one using it., unless we use it on ourselves

David, the redneck

Wayne,

What truth? The guy was driving on the wrong side of the road DUI. People reported him; a Deputy Sheriff caught him and placed him in jail. The defendant placed bail and was released. So far the system has worked.

Now a court will decide his innocence or his guilt; if guilty, he will be sentenced. If he is guilty of DUI, then whether he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs (legal or illegal) is really irrelevant.

Now, if he were under the influence of alcohol, and if he got intoxicated at a bar, then hopefully, the Sheriff’s Department will follow up and make a case…if a case can be made against the bar owner/attendant.

Not bad for a redneck, huh?

Hope he is counting his blessings and thanking God for not hurting anyone.

I wish. Chances are he’s whining about being wrongly persecuted. A drunk is a drunk. If they’re comfortable enough being drunk to get behind the wheel of a vehicle, they’re used to being drunk. What he needs is someone to beat the living daylights out of him – that, more than anything else he’ll face, might make him THINK before he decides to go drinking and driving again.

Bailey Bell. 4 years old. Beautiful little girl. Killed on Hwy. 29 by a drunk driver going south in the northbound lane. A preious baby killed at the intersection of 29 and Detroit Avenue by a drunk driver coming from a bar on 9 Mile Road. Husband and father killed at the intersection of 29 and Mathison Road by a drunk driver coming from the same bar as the one that killed Bailey Bell, going south in the northbound lane. All of them, gone forever. Only by the grace of God did this low-life not kill somebody. Y’all ready to form a lynch party?
