When I was a 10th grader, one weekend I learned that two upper classmen had been involved in a car wreck, horribly killing one of them. They had been drinking and smoking pot. The driver, after getting out of the hospital, somehow avoided any serious charges and about six months after the accident I saw him drinking at another party. His actions had killed his best friend and through his sheer arrogance, or absolute idiocy did not seem to care.
Laws and charges in punishment have certainly changed since then and I don’t think one could escape finding serious jail time for that now but that doesn’t change the fact that people are mangled and dead and those families will always struggle with those losses.
Fast forward a number of years and when my son was in junior high, he came home and told me a story of how a kid at school got arrested by the police for possession of marijuana in his school locker. Come to find out it was the son of the person I mentioned in my first paragraph who was high when he killed his best friend in that car wreck. The apple certainly does not fall far from the tree sounds to me like the whole damn family needs to be in the clink.
