Would drunk have been in the wrong if he in turn drew his weapon and shot the couple that pulled him over?
I would vote to acquit if I was on the jury. |

I'm just wary of the statistics. I have no doubt that alcohol impairs the ability to drive. I'm just of the opinion that no solid research has been done that distinguishes drunk driving attributed fatalities that MAY STILL HAVE OCCURRED had the the driver been sober. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I was pulled over for "drunk driving" once. Officer said I was swerving, and he could smell alcohol. I said I had been at a happy hour after work, and had 4 beers in 2 hours, and was just really tired (I was actually driving with my knees for a minute as well.) Asked me to get out of the truck, did I have any weapons? ("Yes, knife in back pocket." "Ok, just don't move toward it." "Yessir.") Blow into the breathalyzer. 0.0.....0.01.......0.02............ "Ok, go wait in the vehicle." Couple of minutes. "Here's a citation for failure to stay in lane." So, when should my execution have occurred? Immediately when pulled over? After he told me why? When I admitted I'd been drinking? When I told him about my pocketknife? Our just at any time before a breathalyzer showed that I was actually NOT legally impaired due to alcohol? |

Do you know if the accident was avoidable had the driver been sober? Roadside executions, of course not, but I would support breaking their legs after the conviction every time they get caught after 3 (which by that point they should never get a license again for life). As for that couple, no. They should had called the police and followed the drunk. |

I think we can all agree that we don't want drunk drivers on our roads or drugged drivers or distracted drivers.
People who are texting while driving cause more accidents then drunks. Are we going to start using armed force to run someone who is texting off the road? There would be a dozen people proned out in less than a mile if that is the case. Call the police, given them the direction of travel, the license plate. However, the NHTSA reports that texting while driving is currently responsible for approximately 1.6 million accidents every year – about 25% of all driving accidents.

As for the roadside execution crowd.
I had just missed a collision between two drunk drivers by mere seconds. My wife and I had just crossed Peachtree, in Atlanta, possibly crossing on a road named Peachtree, when there was a collision just behind us. One of the vehicles fled, leaving the other vehicle with two occupants in the middle of the road. From the positioning of the wrecked vehicle, it "was obvious" who had the right of way. However, looking at things more closely, it was apparent that my initial observations, and that of the police, were wrong. As I was trying to render aid to the passenger, the driver asked him for a briefcase, so he could hide the briefcase; I told the passenger not to move because he had noticeable ribcage injuries; nope, he leaned forward and picked up the briefcase ... and his solar plexus jumped out like the scene from Alien ... it didn't break the skin, but damn if it wasn't freaky. The hit and run driver was found a few blocks away. He/they never returned to the scene to check on anyone. I have no idea what the final outcome was. The defendant took a plea before it went to trial. That's all I know. |

While they had good intentions, a CCW permit DOES NOT make you a police officer.
Don't go pulling out your gun unless your life is currently being threatened and you need to shoot someone right then to avoid serious injury. |
