I'm trying to teach you both the concept of compassion. It's your emotional intelligence that I call into question, not your ability to type on an internet forum. This will be my last post on the forum because most people are more reasonable than what I have experienced here. In fact, if you read most threads, many responses are merely judgmental in nature and not in the least helpful. Shame on you. I truly hope, for your sake, that you never make a mistake. When you have delusions of perfection, it's so much easier to be condescending, isn't it? | Compassion  Compassion  You have got to be kidding me. It wasn't one mistake. It's been at three times that he has been caught not to mention the times he didn't get caught. I have compassion but not for someone who cares so little about my life and the life of the people that I love that he will arm himself with a deadly weapon, just because he is too macho or too broke to catch a cab home.
Shame on you. I hope to God you or your loved ones never become a victim of a drunk driver's arrogance. Because then you will eat your own words ~ Let me see how compassionate you will be then.
and...if you don't like what we have to say, check yourself and your two cents at the door. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Good riddance.

If Bozo comes back, he can educate himself here, where compassion belongs:

http://www.duipictures.com/dstory.htm
And he can Google to find more stories worthy of compassion.

But since you're not married to the guy, you should be fine. You may need to find a sitter for those times he would have taken the kids.... he may be tied up for awhile.

I pray to God that you will never have a friend or loved one that struggles with addiction. Like I said earlier, your black and white view of the world is far too narrow minded. |

He was very irresponsible and endangered people's lives.
I do agree that just criticizing his mistakes won't help the lady that posted for help. But also, I think it's a little hypocritical of you to tell them they are being judgmental when you are judging them for not being 'compassionate'. I'm sure your speech would be different if you had lost a loved one because of a drunk driver.
The bottom line is, this person will most likely get locked up for a long time and hopefully will learn the lesson. |

I've read yours. You're a DUI convert looking to make yourself feel better about your own blatant disregard for public safety. We all know your father wasn't killed by a drunk driver. We all know you are just here to troll and try to make yourself feel better for your mistake.

The fact he was caught three times means that he has, literally, driven impaired hundreds of times.
Hundreds.
I have the same amount of compassion for an adult that does this as I would for an adult that fires a shot into the air randomly every night for years... none.
The fact that he didn't kill someone doesn't mean he wasn't trying.

OP laid out the severity of the crime committed up front, never defended the actions, or inquired about an easy way out or loop hole. Seems to me OP was looking for advice out of concern for a child born of mentioned suspect, who will likely now be essentially fatherless for a period of some time to come. OP, I feel that your suspicion of more jail time being likely is warranted. I think the three months mentioned would be about right solely for the probation violation. The offender will most likely have house arrest revoked, and serve the remainder of that sentence in jail. Then they will be looking at a lengthy stay in jail on top of all that for the most recent incident. |
