Why I am not sure I could be a cop or a firefighter. In this age of meth, I am afraid I would snap and must start killing people.
I couldn't handle it mentally. I couldn't stand to be with a person while they died and have to do that over and over. And children ... I can't deal with hurt children.
My last call was a drunk driver that was uninjured that killed a great-grandmother, grandfather and a six month old. I sometimes still see the scene when I lay down and close my eyes at night.
That's just terrible ... horrible. I don't think, no, I know I'm not strong enough to deal with that on a continual basis. I applaud those who take that responsibility.
Anyone that claims or even thinks DUI is a victimless crime is beyond idiotic. Who would say such a thing?
My friend worked a scene halloween night where a drunk driver struck two women and two children trick or treating. One child died at the scene and the other three were in various critical states. He said it was beyond difficult to deal with.
if it was said it was for people blowing slightly over the limit. not shitfaced dipshits who kill people.
It's not a paternal crime (i.e. like not wearing a seatbelt) but it can be victimless. You knew this, though.
The University of South Carolina should do everything they possibly can to help this kid out, imo. He gave both of his knees for that school. On top of that, he's a class act. By far one of my favorite Gamecocks.
One of my favorite athletes regardless of school affiliation. I have no doubt he'll be welcomed back.
I love, love, love the way he carries himself and the way he has represented the university. I was at the game when his latest injury happened. The way the UT players responded was beyond classy. IIRC, was Eric Gordon not like crying on the field? I seem to remember him apologizing over and over to ML while in tears.
