Exactly.

It really sucks that your friends were killed & I'm sorry for your loss, but you can't blame the guy in the back seat regardless of why he was there.

That said, please *think* before you post OP. You are an idiot for blaming the drunk guy who did the right thing. I sure as hell hope a dumbass like you doesn't convince even one person to not do what the drunk guy did. I am also curious to hear how old you are.

Read the thread before you make such remarks.

I did you nitwit, nice try backpeddling.

Don't know if he [the drunk] could have done anything... maybe called 9-1-1.

Their friend was too drunk to drive and calls them at 3 am to pick him up from the bar. they left and picked him up. On the way back there was construction, without much alert, he tried to dodge a sign, went into the ditch, hit a tree, no seat belt, front passengers died. the drunk bastard was untouched(in the back seat), and too fucking drunk to do anything.
I think they were going fast enough to not be able to dodge a sign safely, but still.
It is still sad, I personally did not know the guy. I have heard a lot about him... anyways.

I felt like sharing this with you. I don't how the drunk guy could live the rest of his life knowing he had something to do with his 2 friends deaths.

God bless them.

How the fuck is it his fault? He did the right thing by not driving home, and the driver did the wrong thing by being a shitty driver.

I hate when signs are put in the middle of the road that I have to dodge at high speeds. Sucks for everyone involved, it's sad that the drunk person was the most responsible person in the car that night.

This story is backwards. The drunk guy, acting responsibly, asked his friends for a ride home so that he wouldn't be on the road while drunk but is receiving the blame for the friends driving too fast and not wearing a seatbelt? Although tragic, I don't see how any of the blame could be placed on the drunk friend.


QFT...plus the story sounds like they let the drunk drive :confused:

You're just being a dick. When you loose someone close, you don't sit there and say yeah they deserved it. The drunk guy survived, so it is easy to make it sound like it was his fault.... not that its right. And I am 24. Shit happens, they are dead.

Sounds like you're being a dick and blaming the wrong person. He was being responsible. You'd prefer that he got in a car and tried to drive home drunk?

I feel bad, I honestly do... but you need to take another look at what happened here.

Also, read the thread.

you can say that when you learn to type a coherent story.

I apologize in advance if I seem like a bitch BUT, it is not the drunk guys fault. He simply knew he was unable to drive and called those 2 guys. The 2 guys could have said no but they didn't. So they went to pick him up without seatbelts AND speeding. The drunk guy really had nothing to do with it, so you shouldn't blame it on him. Shouldn't really blame it on anything. Things happen for a reason.

Does it really matter what I think about the whole thing? move on people .. I am, what I am. I think what I think... sometimes I am right, sometimes I am wrong... it's how it is, and I just deal with it... so should you.

How am I being a dick? Also, who in the hell said the people who died deserved to? You are a dumbass (it is spelled "lose" you idiot, not loose) and the forums would be better off if you never posted again. Seriously, stop posting.

Honestly I am sorry for your sisters friends though.

Yeah I agree. But you can always say they would of never been on the road if he didn't call.

Sorry about your friends but "friend who left drunk at bar" could've been easily been replaced with "friend who's car got wrecked" or something similar. Don't blame the guy for asking friends for help.

yes, this story is backwards. all involved were doing the right thing. It's sad, but the friends should have been wearing seatbelts. Can't really blame the drunk guy for this, being that he seems to be the most responsible. Can you imagine that guilt that he already feels.

Also...in response to "how did the Drunk guy exit the wreck unscathed?" This happens frequently, as intoxication tends to allow one's body to go limp in these accidents. If you're sober and aware of an impending accident, the most immediate response is to go rigid and brace yourself, which leads to more injuries. Intoxication slows reaction time and muscle control, and ironically enough, helps you into a state more readily suited to absorb the damage in such accidents.
