It’s interesting how when It’s someone you know getting in trouble many say don’t judge etc. yet these same people can be seen in the past making comments about someone else they don’t know (judging) and wanting them to be severley punished for their crimes.

I understand that this man volunteerly turned himself in. The fact that he has went all these years without another violation seems to me that he has reformed himself. If he stayed clean six years then he is seriously trying. I say, give him a break, unless you, yourself is so perfect that you never made any serious mistakes. This man seems to have changed his life style. Isn’t that what the laws are for, reforming law breakers.

Tina Lou, please dont say he has children. I am sorry that they have had to live in an atmosphere of uncertainy and suspense for the last six years. I hope he can get himself in order, for their sake. I suggest that people who wish to live this lifestyle, forgo the family part of life. It will be easier on you and everyone involved. Lord help this family and me too.

@DJC I think overall you agree and by pats on the back, I mean offering sympathy to someone who quite obviously broke the law on multiple occasions and could have killed many people. The bottom line is this: I am surprised by the number of postings from people who not only act like this man did nothing wrong (but offer words of encouragement) AND criticise others who express the opinion that he did something wrong. Of course, he did something wrong and put the lives of others at risk. If he had one charge, maybe. But, three charges of DUI’s and driving with a suspended license is beyond the scope of what any rational person would consider even close to reasonable. I simply don’t think he deserves ANY words of encouragement for something this bad. He did it and should have “fixed” his behavior before it got to this level. I don’t feel sorry for people who are drunks and drug addicts, since they did it to themselves. If addiction runs in their family, then they should recognize that fact and NOT DO DRUGS AND DRINK TOO EXCESS!

@ Echo:

I do believe that you are taking my response to yours out of context. I have certainly not applauded or patted anyone on the back for there wrong doings and I do not condone them. And again, I do agree that adults should be held 100% responsible for there actions. Unfortunately, addictions often start at very early ages and are carried out through there adult years which makes it very difficult to stop. So yes, I do think words of encouragement are necessary.

@DJC I have ZERO TOLERANCE for drug users and alcoholics. They did it to themselves and it is 100% their own fault. They certainly do not deserve pats on the back for something they chose to do. I applaud the people of society who do not allow themselves to become drug addicts and alcoholics and then want sympathy for something they did to themselves. People know that drug use and alcohol use may lead to addiction and choose to do it anyway. What happened to accountability for our own actions? You people need to toughen up! Many people feel the same way I do. Why don’t we start giving sympathy to the people who really need it, such as the little girl’s family who died in the ATV accident or the 2 year old girl who was severely burned?

@ Echo:

I agree with you that anyone who has lost a loved one to the accident of a drunk driver would be offended, but one the other hand if you have ever watched a good person struggle with alcoholism or any drug addictions then maybe you would understand the words of encouragement sent out to this person. I don’t know this guy personally but I’m not going to toss him under the bus. Hopefully a little jail time will allow him to sober up and realize the dangers of alcoholism before someone get hurt or dies.
