I could care less if that piece of trash sounds sincere. He killed someone while driving drunk, he should not be drinking at ALL. He should be in jail already and then he goes out and does it again and is still not in jail. It is unbelivable how this society accepts drunk driving as being OK in some way. Why would a guy get a second chance after killing someone? Makes no sense to me.
I remember in college how myself and my fraternity brothers used them think it was so cool that we drove home after getting wasted. Our driving was better and all the other stupid crap we said. Then one night we got a call. A call from a mother of one of my fraternity brothers, Todd had been killed by a drunk driver that thought he should get on the interstate via an off ramp instead of his on ramp. He was doing 70 when he hit Todd. Todd was killed instantly. Since that night, I took a person oath not to drink and drive, it just really is not worth it. The thought of making some mother and father morn for their child would be more then I could bare. I still drink and have fun like the old days I am just smarter about it now.
Every time I come to KC for a Chiefs game I see these drunks get into their cars and drive away. I hope that next time anyone of us are in that position we think about it and call for a ride.
I know some of you will tell me to get off my soap box and that is fine but this is one soapbox I am proud to stand on. God Bless the family of the child killed by Leonard Little, the family of Todd Gibson and to all of those that have lost loved ones to drunk dirvers.
