The 19 year old for having to live with the fact he killed those people for the rest of his life. He's young, he's going to get to live with that. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>I feel sorrow for the remaining family members of the deceased.

The drunk driver is entirely at fault. He alone was driving while intoxicated and he alone ran the stop sign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-34068610941578032432007-05-11T14:19:00.000-07:002007-05-11T14:19:00.000-07:00Even with 8 seatbelts there's no way you're gettin...Even with 8 seatbelts there's no way you're getting 8 in there safely. There was an infant and a toddler, and I didn't see how old the other two boys were who died. If they were under 6, then that would have called for 4 carseats/booster seats. Even two for the two youngest would have been serious space hogs. I can't see how they could have possibly fit 8 or 9 people in that Mercedes. Were the children properly restrained? No one is talking about that. Perhaps it doesn't matter, since the car did catch fire? <BR/><BR/>I agree that the young man should definitely be punished for his crime, and don't want to take away from that serious tragedy.LoraLoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250173105971467371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-14328994520347345612007-05-11T10:55:00.000-07:002007-05-11T10:55:00.000-07:00All in all, a horribly tragic situation.All in all, a horribly tragic situation.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18074485959820689270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-43712211978599686632007-05-11T05:07:00.000-07:002007-05-11T05:07:00.000-07:00Good point -- and smart to look at both sides of t...Good point -- and smart to look at both sides of this one. The drunk driver has to pay for his actions, but the vulnerabilities of the SUV passengers should be examined, too.<BR/><BR/>-- davidDavid Amulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758977878243268087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-53394992107499435482007-05-09T18:57:00.000-07:002007-05-09T18:57:00.000-07:00I actually heard that it was a mercedes that had s...I actually heard that it was a mercedes that had seat belts for 8.
