    Default Want some opinions

    ok i am going to tell this story without giving unecessary details(i.e. names, etc)

    a couple of years ago i lost a friend in a car accident in which he was the passenger and not the driver. the driver talked the passengers parents into allowing him out of the house to go hang out with a 2nd passenger along with himself by using a completely falsified story. after they leave and go do what they were going to do, they drop off the 2nd passenger and proceed to take the first passenger home. while going down a narrow 2 lane road that the posted speed limit is 35 the driver proceeds to accelerate to (unconfirmed but this seems accurate to me)82mph and then looses control spinning the car and eventually slaming it into a telephone pole. the passenger dies on impact but the driver manages to live and is later life flighted to an atlanta area hospital.

    now here is where things get interesting......

    the driver was a known drug user and the passenger also did on occasion but did not match the frequency or the level drugs that the driver used. after getting out of the hospital 2 weeks later the first thing he does is meet up with some friends and smoke out. over the next 2 years the driver proceeds to do more dangerous drugs and more frequently while awaiting trial. the guy is arrested for possesion, use, theft multiple times over then next 2 years. and not only that continues to drive in a wreckless maner(for example tripple digits on yet another two lane road in the presence of traffic).

    more interesting...

    the drivers defense is that he saw "a black fox in the road and slammed on the brakes and lost control of the car spinning a few times and then hit the telephone pole". 2 years later you finally get a call from the kids lawyer wanting to know if you saw a fox in the middle of the road or found one. the answer of course is no. because NO ONE DID. there are only two people that saw the "fox" and one of them is dead.

    closing....

    normally i would feel bad and would say let the guy off easy as he has to live with the fact that he killed one of his best friends but i have to draw the line somewhere. they guy has been and always probably will be a drug user a liar and a theif. had the driver changed his ways and conducted himself in a way that honored the deceased that would have been one thing but he didn't and for him to make up **** and say that he knows people that "saw a fox in the middle of the road" when there is no way in hell that anyone did is even more ridiculous. and imho anyone that agrees to lie for this kid to me is just as bad as he is.

    AM I WRONG FOR FEELING LIKE THIS OR NO?


    EDIT:IF ANYONE ON HERE KNOWS NAMES OF WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT PLEASE DON'T SAY THEM AS I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS AS ANNONYMOUS AS POSSIBLE.
