Re: And let's not forget... Speaking of a lack of personal responsibility, here's a fun one for ya.
My fiance's sister just bought a new van. 10 minutes after buying it a 17 year old with no license and no insurance driving his parent's car and doing stupid shit in the snow in a parking lot hits her head on. Her brand new van is now worthless because its been in a head on collision.
I'm sure anyone who has wrecked a car knows that its never quite the same after its been repaired, and nobody will give you near what it's worth. Hell, when they carfax it and see the head-on collision they won't even consider buying it.
The police won't do anything. The mother said her 17 year old son stole the car. She obviously has no plans to punish him, and he didn't actually steal the car, but that was good enough for the police so there's no charges... nothing. The kid just gets to hit her van head on and walk off without even getting a slap on the wrist.
They told her that her only option is to sue them in civil court. So she has to pay out of pocket for a lawyer to sue someone... and the kid doesn't even get punished...
Let's not forget its a van with 4 children all under the age of 6 inside it. We're definitely teaching children personally respobility aren't we. It O.K. to run head first into a family vehicle.. nobody will punish you for it.
I have absolutely no faith in the police, and very little faith left in humanity. |
