Reading the comments on Ravens post is fucked.
Everyone has been in both Corys or Pstones position when partying/normal life.
Hope Cory is ok in the head. The guilt must be fucked.
dont want to derail this thread but no I have never been in either position, and many people I know wouldnt be in that position. I know most of society/skateboarding drinks and drives regularly but that isnt cool at all in my circle. it isnt just your life you put at risk its everyone on the road, even if you are just buzzed.
Not judging the situation at all, but putting out the "everyones been there" just doesnt sit right with me.
+1!
This kind of thinking really should fucking stop! People should stop normalizing drinking and driving, it's what caused this whole situation. I'm not from the US and I often wonder how fucking casually people over there (in general, not everyone) seem to relate to drinking and driving. Please stop it. It is not a position anyone should be in. It is not normal. It is not something that should be relatable to anyone. It is also really fucking easy not to do, so don't fucking do it!
Yeah, that bothered me in Raven's post too. The idea that Cory shouldn't shoulder any blame because of how totally normal dude it is to drive around with your drunk friends is a bad argument. Cory isn't an evil bastard, he made a shitty decision, and now he's facing the consequences, including living with having a hand in the death of his best friend for the rest of his life. The whole situation sucks, let's remember that it sucks way more for the man's wife and children than for Cory, but that doesn't mean Cory didn't fuck up.
Fact is if you are drinking and driving, and letting your friends in the car, or letting your friends drink and drive, you're a shitty fucking friend. Learn from Cory's mistake before you end learning from your own.
