I totally agree with this, David. Too many parents let their underage children have parties at home…Read More so at least "everyone can be safe". It's the same sort of logic that some parents use with marijuana - my kids will smoke it anyhow - I should just have them do it at home. These parents are not doing their children any favors by making them think these behaviors are okay, because they will carry this attitude with them even when they leave home and think they can get drunk or stoned and be fine, but now they will add a car into the equation. So yes, parents need to be parents. It's ufortunate that a lot of parents who drive drunk raise children who drive drunk.

Rachel's comments are well reasoned. I support Mike Marohnic's idea of more effective penalties for…Read More first and second offenses before changing limits. There is accountability required when you chose to use alcohol and you chose to drive. If you feel the need to drink over the driving standards than you have a choice to drink at home, stay where you are drinking until you are again sober, arrange for a designated driver or take a cab or public transportation. Nobody is telling Gregory how to live, but he is accountable when he drives on public roads. To say otherwise is to continue to socialize the risk of impaired driving to the families friends, neighbors and employers of the victims of impaired driving.

Is Albertville rated an easy target? Maybe and article interviewing the Sheriff can shed some light on how homeowners can better protect themselves, their proerty and their neighbors.

I had a good friend die in a car crash years ago because her fiancé was not wearing his seat…Read More belt. They were out looking at churches to get married in when a deer ran out in front of him, he lost control of his truck and it rolled. He was 6'5" and she was 5'2" - and he crushed her. They/she would have been perfectly fine if he had buckled up. It was so sad and senseless. :(
