When the USA became a communist country

Around my parts, grabbing a roadie on the way home from work is still a lot more common than you'd expect.
Last year I was going down the road and the guy in front of me took an entire bag of McDonald’s and threw it out his car window. Then we got about a mile down the the road and he threw out his soda. The cup hit the ground and the lid and straw popped off.

I was in actual tears I was laughing so hard. It was like going back in time
 
Back in the day I measured distances by the number of beers it took to get there.
I used to visit my friends at southwest mo state. We’d have a contest on how many beers you could down without stopping to piss on the drive. Car just full of empties.

Drinking driving was second nature

We called those….dead soldiers
What DANC was saying about dwis in some places was sort of right. Forever it was discretionary to hold them at the municipal level. So it wasn’t uncommon for a guy to have half a dozen or more. They’d just keep paying higher fines and the charge would get reduced. I had an uncle with five.

Here a cardinal tried a dram shop case and it led to a fleecing of the whole dirty racket. Then Michael brown led to another round of it and those days were over

Years ago in Bton the word was that if you needed to get off a DUI, hire Sam Shapiro. He charged a fortune, but he evidently knew who and where to pay, because people claimed that eventually the charges just disappeared.

I was living in Toledo when the wink-wink-nudge-nudge disappeared in NW Ohio. Some drunk asshole went from the Taco Bell onto the highway, but in the wrong direction, and killed a family in a minivan. Before that happened, a DUI was a fine and maybe a weekend or two in fake prison (it was a lockup that you had to report into Friday evening, and you'd get released Monday morning, for however many weekends worth you'd pissed the judge off). After that, prosecutors and judges came down hard, and weekend excursions got exchanged for actual time in real prison.

Wow!!!! Here a 1st time dwi is basically nothing. You get an sis that falls off after 2 years. Zero jail time. Through an admin process you don’t even lose your driving privileges even for a day. You just can’t delete it immediately or rack up a ton like back in the day

Things may have cooled off since then. I've been gone for a while.

The yokels in the video are not incorrect. Stricter DUI laws have not cut down on drunk driving fatalities.

They have stretched the government ever further into one’s own day to day life. Papa government is here to protect
you.
Will be wild if new cars are installed with ignition interlock. One of my best soccer buds had a felony dui and they installed an interlock. Played pro in Ireland for 3 years and became a drunk. I used to leave the field early and hide behind his car. Then when I’d see him get ready to blow I’d shake the fck out of his car!!! He’d have to wait an hour to try again 🤣

Autonomous cars are going to solve all this, anyway.

Have they cut down on the per capita or per mile # of fatalities?
