#DrunkDriving #MADD #JusticeforVictims
I just received devastating news a few hours ago about the tragic death of one of my best friends, who was killed by a drunk driver last night. 😢 The aftermath of such a senseless and preventable act has left me feeling a mixture of grief, anger, and a strong desire for justice for my friend.
Drinking and driving is not a mistake – it is a conscious, irresponsible choice that can have deadly consequences. It is important to raise awareness about the serious impact of drunk driving and the need for stricter laws and consequences for those who engage in this reckless behavior.
The Devastating Consequences of Drunk Driving
– The heartbreaking reality of losing a loved one to a drunk driver
– The ripple effect of pain and suffering that extends to family and friends
– The urgent need for harsher penalties to deter individuals from driving under the influence
The Legal and Moral Implications of Drunk Driving
– The legal consequences and potential charges for the individual responsible
– The societal duty to hold individuals accountable for their actions and prevent future tragedies
– The moral obligation to speak out against drunk driving and advocate for change in legislation
Taking Action Against Drunk Driving
– Supporting organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and other advocacy groups
– Participating in awareness campaigns and initiatives to educate others about the dangers of drunk driving
– Advocating for stricter laws and penalties for individuals who choose to drive under the influence
Remembering and Honoring the Victims
– The impact of the loss on the community and the need for collective support and empathy
– The importance of commemorating and honoring the memory of the victims of drunk driving
– Finding ways to pay tribute to the lives lost and keep their legacies alive
In Memory of My Friend
– The upcoming tribute and memorial for my friend at our school’s semi-finals game
– The discussions surrounding the retirement of my friend’s athletic number in his honor
– The lasting impact of his presence and the legacy he leaves behind
It is my hope that by sharing this deeply personal experience, others will be moved to take a stand against drunk driving and work towards creating a safer society for everyone. Let us not allow these tragedies to be in vain, but rather let them serve as a catalyst for change and a reminder of the importance of responsible decision-making. Together, we can honor the memory of those we have lost and strive for a future free from the devastating impact of drunk driving. #JusticeForVictims #EndDrunkDriving #NeverForget
What do you call a drunk guy trying to start his car? A lyft. Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. I know that doesn’t do shit but I am.
That’s not a mistake and I hope that person gets what they deserve. I hope they feel remorse and it stays with with
May your friend rest in peace,
Trust me I don’t think anyone here is thinking he made a mistake, anyone who defends it is delusional
As someone who’s family member died by a drunk truck driver I’m with you
I’m sorry for your lost and I hope the person gets what they deserve
Hey OP,
First of all I’d like to say I’m very sorry for your loss. What I would next encourage you to do (and this is the hardest part) is work on remembering your friend with love instead of anger. We have laws like the 8th amendment for a reason – despite the terrible, thoughtless, and destructive nature of that crime, torture of anyone, truly of any living being, is never ok. I know you are hurting, and anger is a logical place to go from pain, but at some point you’ll have to move past that anger in order to alleviate the pain.
Think about what would happen if you could act on all of your impulsive, angry thoughts while you feel pain. The only result of torturing or killing that driver is more pain. They’ll get their due, in accordance to the law. They DID make a mistake, a fatal, terrible, and reckless mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.
I know this isn’t what you want to hear right now, and I truly sympathize with that, but at some point you’ll need to he able to move past that anger, for your own sake.
I’m sorry for your loss
i am so sorry for your loss. drunk driving is fucking horrible, and im with you- i hope he gets what he deserves. i hope your friend may rest in peace.
Drinking and driving isnt a mistake, hitting someone is. Doubt it was in purpose. Does this justify anything? No cause they broke a law to commit manslaughter. but to say the 8th amendment should be canceled for it is silly
I’m so sorry. Just wanted to say that one of my best friends died a few years ago and if you need to vent or have a question or any way I can help, reach out. It’s hard. Really hard. You’re gonna be mad and sad and not believe it and so many emotions. Let yourself feel them and go through all of it. You need to to heal. Therapy really helped me to
I hope your lawyer really steps up so your friend gets the justice he deserves.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t even begin to imagine how heartbroken you and his family are. Sending hugs, and may he rest in peace.
I am sorry for your loss, but I argue it is justifiable much of the time. I.E. in rural areas where you only pose a risk to yourself.
I know this feeling 100%, lost my best friend to this exact scenario 7 years ago. Stay strong bro, there’s no easy way through this.
I’m so sorry to hear that ):
Hey man, I’m not a teen but this came up on my home feed. I’m at intern with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, you should see if they are in your state. If so, you should have your friends family reach out to them. They do a lot of work to help the families of victims of drunk driving.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Every day I see how many new drunk driving cases there are a week just in the county I am assigned, and it makes me feel sick. I wish there was more I could do personally. Sending you lots of love man.
I’m sorry for your loss and deeply sorry for the family’s loss, yet I have to point out I’m firmly against most if not all your opinions on this subject and many others. Your blatant disregard for others really shows a big issue, you need to address it. This hatred and neglect for others really impairs your view of others in society, you don’t seem to understand the point of view of other people and can’t put yourself in their shoes. You have to grasp the fact that it is possible that that man was going through hardships and resorted to alcohol and in his poor reasoning chose to drive while drunk resulting in all of this, he’s guilty but you must consider that everyone needs compassion, even those who you might think don’t deserve it. If I was the drunk driver, I’d be lost in a spiral of guilt, after all, I killed a child, my own hands and choices resulted in the death of a kid. Can you imagine how awful that feeling is?
May his soul rest in peace and may his family be comforted.
i’m so sorry.. i wish lawyers could be useful and bring people back to life.. i’m so sorry for your loss ♥️
That’s scary as fuck man. I just drove on public roads for the first time today. I’m surprised how many people simply refuse to follow the lessons drilled into your head in drivers ed. I’m sorry for your loss op.
I don’t have much to say since I have not lost a friend or family member like this. All I can really say is I’m sorry for your loss and what you are feeling and going through right now. I hope things get better for you and your friend’s family. It truly does suck and it is heart breaking that this shit happens to innocent people. Power through this man. I believe in you. Hope you feel better.
I’ve been on both ends of this and I wholeheartedly agree. My teacher, the kindest woman in the world, was killed in a drunk driving “accident”. Devastated me and a ton kf her students.
On the other hand my cousin was driving under the influence of Marijuana and caused an accident killing a man. He deserves all the prison time he got, and more. He feels no remorse and says it was an accident and it shouldn’t ruin his life.
He ruined it himself.
I’m so sorry for your loss
Me and our high school went to this convention thingy about drunk driving. We heard stories from people who had suffered through huge losses like you have. It was heartbreaking, but one guy stood out.
He was a guy whose face had been very badly scarred after being hit in the face by a stray engine part from a drunk driving crash. Against all odds, he survived, but his windshield didn’t. Neither did half of his face, so he required major facial reconstruction. If he hadn’t already had it bad enough, he lost most of his sight as well.
Now, since he was the speaker there with the most trauma, you would expect him to be like the others: sad. Confused. Heartbroken. But he WASN’T. He was *powerful*. He was inspiring. He spoke with a TON of confidence. He recounted his awful experience with resolute levelheadedness.
Then he cracked us all up by playing a sick electric guitar medley that had ’00s rock mixed with the Mario theme.
My point is, he worked with his trauma instead of against it. He moved me. That man changed my life! He took that awful, awful thing and breathed new life into it.
I beg you, be like that man. Don’t let this change who you are. Hold on to your friend in your mind, but don’t obsess. Take this as a lesson for the world to learn.
Thank you, and I wish you the best 🙂
Wa wa
Any meals whatsoever
I understand how you feel. My uncle was killed by a drunk driver too. I’m so sorry for your loss
may your friend rest in peace, you heal when you are ready, and the drunk driver brought to justice ❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss man fuck drunk drivers
Lesson: never use an uber, and pay attention to your driver.
“Drinking and driving is not a mistake by any **meals** what so ever”
That’s a dumbass statement.
You sound distressed, and (this is going to sound insensitive, but I just want to help) you are making a lot of spelling mistakes, copy the text and dm it to me, I can fix it and send it back and you can edit to replace it.
