Unfortunately, the lesson from Braxton's case is that DUI gets you nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

REL's right, Rocky. Yes, we need to look after our buddies but it was Kels who made the final decision to drink and drive, espcially on the first weekend back for students.
I guess if there is a silver lining in this shit is the fact that she is no longer a S/A. If that was the case, Roller would have had her out out school and back in Fort Wayne in a heart beat. But don't you think for a minute that Kels is going to get a free ride out of this.
The comparasons to Braxton are somewhat of a stretch; whereas Braxton relishes her bad ass image and really does not care but Corbin will learn from this and is smart enough NOT to do something as stupid again. And neither Corbin or her parents will be out whining to the MSM about how unfair it is and how she is being picked on.

I know we must face the circumstances that we have caused due to our actions but she needed help that night and didn't get any.
Guess you didn't read that part !!!!!! She will face what she did and with class.

No, i read that -- and it read like you let her off the hook and blamed her friends.
First and foremost, SHE went out. SHE decided to drink. SHE decided to drink some more. SHE got drunk. SHE staggered to her car. SHE got in her car and put the keys in the ignition. SHE started the car and drove a weapon through the streets, endangering herself and any stranger who might have been out at the same time.
I'll be impressed with her class when, after the sentecing etc. are done, she continues to speak up and out about drinking on campus... maybe connects the ball state program with support groups for victims of drunk driving.
And, maybe, as you suggest, she should dump her friends since they seem to support her foolish and dangerous behavior.

WHATEVER !!!!
Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall !!!!  |
Look, we all get that her friends didn't help her out, but who chose those people as her friends? Any way you slice this, the fault is 100% on the idiot that chose to drive drunk. Personally I think there should be a 2 year suspension automatically in these cases and a significant cost, say $3,000, for getting their license renewed. This was no less dangerous then taking a loaded gun out into the street and blindly firing off several shots IMHO, and people in this country need to understand that and quit making excuses for the people that commit this very serious crime.
Off my soapbox now.

0.10. That BAC used to be the legal limit in this state. For a woman of Corbin's stature, drinking two glasses of table wine after dinner is equivalent to about 0.10.
0.08 is the legal limit now. 0.08-0.10 are levels at which it is hard - not only for the drinker but for those who are around them - to realize that there has been any impairment.
Not condoning DUI, just putting it into perspective as a mistake that many of us are just one drink away from. Again, for a woman of slight stature, the legal limit can be exceeded on the second drink. The difference between Corbin and many of us is that she just happens to have been caught.
Bottom line. Don't drink and drive. Period.

If you ever vist Oz, be very very careful then, all states are .05, there are zero readings required of some class of drivers.

As the ad here says, and maybe there, If you Drink and Drive, You're a Bloody Idiot.
