DWI Hit Parade!

Editor’s Note: It is the undisputed privilege of the mother of the dead teen to forgive her daughter’s killer. However, the facts are clear: a death caused by a drunk driver is not an “accident” but a predictable outcome of the driver being drunk at the time of the crash.  An “accident” would have been an unforeseen and unintentional occurrence. 

From MyFoxAtlanta
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga. – In an emotional hearing in Douglas County Friday, the mother of a deceased teenage girl said she forgives the teenage boy responsible for her death.
Jason Lark, 17, pleaded guilty Friday to homicide by vehicle in a wreck last year that killed a 16-year-old girl.
Cheyenne Sauls was killed February 19, when a car full of teens crashed in Douglas County. Georgia State troopers said Lark lost control of his SUV early Saturday on Pleasant Drive, killing Sauls and injuring two others. Authorities say Sauls was thrown from the SUV and killed.
None of the teens were wearing seat belts. Lark has admitted to drinking before the accident.
In court Friday, Lark looked directly at the Sauls’ parents, wept and apologized.
“I take full responsibility for what I did. I plead guilty because I am guilty. I shouldn’t even have been behind the wheel of the car,” said a tearful Lark…..MORE

Incredibly, friends of Jason Lark have created a FACEBOOK page to show him support as if he simply broke his leg and is confined to a hospital…
Don’t provide coverage of DUI Killer
To the Editor:
The page your website has concerning Jason Lark’s alleged DUI not only has incorrect information but is without a doubt incredibly biased.
The family of Cheyenne Sauls is not vengeful in this, and with an upcoming investigation of the true events of that night, the Lark family would be very appreciative if you would please remove that page.

To the Editor:
Your website is not only offensive to all parties involved in these accidents but I find it personally disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. I am all for the awareness of DUI/DWI offences and how to HELP, not mock those offenders and victims of these tragic accidents. Your website is degrading, it’s people like you that show ignorance in this world. You are not helping by making jokes out of these accidents. You should take a long hard look in the mirror and find out why you take joy in others peoples tragedies. Maybe you didn’t get enough hugs as a child.
It really is a shame. I only hope that one day you grow enough as a person to feel compassion for other human beings, it really is a disappointment that people in this world think in such a lackadaisical manner. My heart goes out to sad, sad people like yourselves. May you find yourself one day and learn to open your heart to not only the victims, but the offenders themselves. Take a walk in the families shoes, you’ll begin to see a new light.
May God bless your soul.

(Editor’s Note: Thank you for your views.  Clearly you have not seen anywhere on this website anything that “mocks” victims of these senseless tragedies and it is
only the very blunt “mocking” of the boneheaded killers who drink and drive that you dislike.  The victims cannot speak for themselves. 
Thank you for your prayers but please direct them to those who are killed and maimed by your friends who wish to drive after drinking. 
One more item: You, like many others, refer to the incident in which Cheyenne Sauls was killed by Jason Lark as an “accident”. 
The more accurate word to use is “crash” as when someone is killed as a result of the driver of a vehicle operating after drinking is not an “accident” but a
predictable result of the actions and behavior of the driver.
