So, there I was sitting in the courtroom, not ten foot away from this clean shaven kid. His name is called, his attorney pleads "not guilty" for him. I walk out steaming mad.
Now, let me back this up. Early Sunday morning, we are getting ready to leave my friends house. All of a sudden we hear this loud boom, it shook the building. I look out in time to see a red car pulling off. I then realized that the car had hit my friends truck and slammed the truck into my car. On the phone with the cops, I am going into detail. I get a call back to ask me to come identify the car I seen drive off. Less than a mile away, we pull up to see a young kid standing outside the car with an officer. The other officer came over to talk to me. He said the kid was saying that it was not him. I told him that I have the kids front bumper, fog light and cell phone back where is wrecked. Yeah, you read that right, he hit so hard the cell phone flew out the window. After the kid realizes that I was there to bust his story, he confesses to the officer.
I went back to my car and waited for the officer to come to see our cars. When he shows up I decided to ask him about the kid. I found out he was drunk and only 20 years old. Geez, what is this kid doing????? I got his name, and decided to look into him. What I found out made me despise this kid so much more than I already did. It's one thing to drink and drive. It's another thing when daddy bails you out of everything, and gets it expunged from your record. I find out that according to public records, this is his first offence. I find out otherwise on the internet. This is at least his second DUI. Not omitting the fact the he brags about getting drunk and driving, doing drugs, and having naked "bitches" at his house when parents are not home. I have never wished jail on anyone. Until now.
It's been over a week now and finally his dad's insurance calls me. Nothing I did not already know but the damage is more than my car is worth. What sucks is they want to total out my car, and leave me with nothing. I don't know what to do. I think his dad is just as responsible for this as he is at this point. If you know that you are only going to get the minimum charges every time you get in trouble, are you going to stop?? He knows daddy is going to come get him out of any charges or at least get it off his record.
I am trying right now to make sure that this charge will stay on his record. I would love to see him in jail. I am working on that too. My biggest fear is that next time it's going to be a family that he hits. Maybe even killing them…..will daddy still be there to get him off then?? In the mean time, I have to look for another car. I will keep updating the next court date in the 17th of July.
Oh yeah it must be in the air. A little over 24 hours after all this happens, my sister is side swiped by a Home City Ice truck. The accident closed down the 471 bridge down during rush hour. She was not hurt to bad, but her car was totaled too. Just hope the LUCK stops here. Lol
Ok thanks for reading my rant. Hope you are all doing good. Ttyl
