I hate drunk drivers!
- Thread starter Kai
- Start date
What will really piss you off is if you knew how many previous DUI's that person has had. When I worked as a Corrections Officer, I noted a lady that had been charged with 9 DUI's in the past. Thanks to our judicial system, she had only been convicted of two, which doesn't amount to much time in jail. If the bleeding hearts would've held her accountable for the other 7, she would've been incarcerated for around 10 years.
Not long after I hit the road, I was dispatched to an accident. A lady had run into the back of a SUV that was stopped at a stop sign. She hit the SUV between 60 and 70mph. When I got out of the car, a group of people were waving me into a field. I noticed a deceased person lying on the ground with unrecognizable features. The SUV was hit so hard it rolled, ejecting the driver before rolling over the top of her.
The driver of the other vehicle was the lady I had dealt with at the jail. She was drunk. It's too late now, but I hope she never gets out of prison.
Drunk driving is on the top of my, 'You make me fucking sick' list.
Kai, I hope your friend pulls through.

Kai, my thoughts go out to you and your friend and all her loved ones. Good to know she's pulled through at least this far.
That might be the most accurate description of how I feel about the subject. I'm going to start using that. Simply saying I hate drunk drivers doesn't have the same effect.

My prayers go out to you and your family.
You want to do something, then do this. Be by her side and help her fight through this with prayer.

Prayer is BULLSHIT. It's also patronising to both me and her (both staunch ATHEISTS) and accomplishes NOTHING.
Kai, sorry to hear about this. This should never happen to anyone, and no one deserves this. Also when people say she is in their prayers it can mean were hoping she recovers, not that we're praying to God about it, just saying.

I learned that the asswipe who was drunk, that cleaved her car in two and nearly killed her GOT OFF WITH A F*CKING TICKET.
What kind of RETARDED crap is that?!

i dont even know what to say to that my mind in blank
hope she gets better. if she fought thru cancer she will fight thru this. keep us with an update
At the very least, the asshat clown shouldv'e been charged with attempted vehicular homicide. Dude, that just blows. Hope he has money, he's gonna need it for the lawsuits.
She emailed me herself today (iPhone), but has no recollection of who i am. Nothing. She's remembering who specific people are (like her sister) but doesn't know where she's worked, who her friends are...i'm hoping this will come back to her, but i think i'm going to have to rebuild everything from scratch.
Memories often return later, when smells sights and what not trigger them. Hopefully they will start to come back when she gets out of the hospital. Also glad to hear she is out of the coma!

Yep! I knew if she beat cancer, she would beat this! Good to hear all is turning around.

I've been through it. (Also caused by a drunk driver...) Things come back to you over time. Getting out of the hospital will help. When you start being surrounded by stuff you are used to, you start remembering.
You had ST memory loss as well? How long did it take for things to come back, and did you lose anything permanently?
Kai, I had a cousin who was in a coma for a while (I think just shy of two weeks) after a climbing accident. She couldn't remember anything for weeks, but then started to get everything back. As far as I know, now she only has a blank spot just before the accident.
Obviously I'm no doctor and don't know jack shit, but Mike's story and my cousin's would lead me to believe memory loss is common right after something this physically traumatic.
Hope she makes a full recovery, Kai. Keep us updated.

It took a long time. The bulk came back within the first few months - little bits came back over the next few years. I lost a bunch permanently - most of my childhood. I can't remember more than a few minutes of everything before I was about 12 years old or so.
Grab me in FlashChat one night and we can talk about it more.
