He wasted his own life, this is not a card that life delt him, like my brother in law dying of cancer right now or my girlfriends dad dying as well with a brain disease. This is just plain ignorance and stupidity.
I kind of agree with you, I'm sure the feelings expressed by others here would be different had he killed someone else while he was drunk driving (if he was). Maybe what you said originally was a little harsh but even if he wasn't drunk, taking a turn at 120mph is irresponsible.

It is a sad and tragic story and the newscast was a little hard to watch. That car looked like it virtually exploded on impact! And it was a little bit creepy the way his friends were smiling during the interview but I guess everyone deals with stress differently.

Sad story no matter how you look at it. Rest in peace, Marine.
