fault

[Ruiner]

so friday night i went to a bar with a friend i hadnt seen for a while since i've been pretty busy recently. i ended up being slightly drunk and didnt want to worry about driving home, so my friend offered to take me. while we were at the bar he was telling me about how excited he was to drop the skyline motor he'd just bought into his crx that hed been working on and dropping most of his extra money into.

today he told me that on the way home from dropping me off he'd been pulled over right down the street. he got two tickets, one for driving on a suspended license and one for driving with suspended tags. granted, i guess he shouldnt have been driving at all, but we all have lives and need to get around somehow, and his suspensions were for speeding, nothing like dui or anything. he spent friday night in jail until he got bailed out. he's going to end up on probation now, along with around 3G in fines, and his car is impounded. he'll probably even have to spend more time in jail.

i feel really guilty about all of this. if he hadnt been on my side of town dropping me off, none of this would have happened. i cant even describe how awful i feel. i live in downtown atl, and i'm also really angry at the cops.i live two blocks off bankhead highway on the west end of 6th street. you'd think that maybe with all the crime down there they could be working on something important instead of making random traffic stops to someone with expired tags. i just feel like my friend has been cheated of so many things he's worked for because of this and that its all my fault.

really, he was a sober guy driving his drunk friend home for safety's sake, and now he has to put up with all this bullshit.

i just had to vent. and i dont know what to do.

Refer to what I bolded...

1. He was at fault for driving with no license or tags. HE was at fault. Not you, him. He paid for an engine and didn't pay for the tag. HE is the idiot that has his priorities messed up. There is no excuse about having to "get around" for shit that was his fault. He sped and lost his license.

2. You are mad at the cops for enforcing the law? Oh, they should be busting criminals, right. Are you aware that not all cops are the same? Do you know that some are assigned SPECIFICALLY to traffic detail? Some do traffic and only traffic. That is what they do. Some deal with more violent crimes and offenders. Don't make statements when you don't know all of the details.

CHEATED out of stuff he has worked for? HE IS AT FAULT! Do you not see this? He is the only one to blame!!!!!!!! Nobody cheated him out of what he worked for! He was the dumbass who kept fucking up! Blame him, nobody else.
