Inebriated father causes METRA collision that injures his child

The driver is 20 years old...and has a 5-year old son? Plus a 14-month old daughter? And his wife is pregnant...again?

Wow.

"was charged with illegal consumption of alcohol, driving too fast for conditions and without a valid driver's license, and operating an uninsured car that caused bodily harm, authorities said."

I think that says it all...

They should take him out and shoot him!  Save the taxpayers a LOT of money!

I'm feelin' it!!!

Unfortunately too late for a Darwin Award...

Our tax dollars at work.

I'm right on board there....what an idiot. 

HW:  I've got a better one.  Make sure he has no ability to have any more children.

Way too late!!!! He has already darned near killed one, and injured his second child and the mother.

Rich,

My wife sees this all the time as a labor and delivery nurse.  Sometimes the same father six months apart with different mothers. For the most part no ones married anymore.  A sad state of affairs for society and this countries future.

I'm sure he has a good-paying job that allows him to support his family very well.

Unfortunately, stupidity is not illegal.  And in our increasingly secular society, morality doesn't count either.

Accountability is a big problem....everything is someone elses fault.  Nobody accepts responsibility for anything anymore.

I don't say it often, but I agree with you.
