Please find a single time where I said he should be crucified or even discussed his punishment. That's determined by laws, not me. I am disgusted by the people on this forum looking to marginalize drinking and driving by saying the police might be at fault, he might not have been THAT drunk, it's just a mistake, kids will be kids, etc.
First, he's underage. He broke the law by drinking alone. OK, not a huge deal but then he got into a car. OK, that's a huge deal. So, we have an underage person drinking and driving. That is the absolute recipe for disaster - inexperience with alcohol and inexperience with driving. I don't think Phelps is apologizing for his mistake of running a stop sign, do you?
The only facts we are missing is how drunk he was. You ok with it if he was under the legal limit for persons of drinking age? If so, let's pass out the booze to the 16 year olds, close our eyes real tight and hope for the best as long as they keep the BAC under 0.08%.
