Drunk Driving....

Irony Alert – Former Head of MADD Arrested For. . . Wait For it. DUI Mike Opelka

Before anyone starts typing an e-mail with the subject line “you insensitive jerk”  - please note that I am not making light of drunk driving or drunk drivers, merely noting the irony of this story.

From MyFoxOrlando.com

    MARION COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) – A woman who was the former president of the Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter in Gainesville has been arrested for drunk driving.

    Debra Oberlin, 48, was arrested around 1:00 a.m. February 18 after police say the car she was driving was swerving on Northwest 39th Street. According to the arrest report she was given two breathalyzer tests and measured .234 and .239. The limit in Florida is .08.

The good news in all of this, Ms. Oberlin’s arrest happened before the car she was driving crashed into anyone or anything.  Nobody was injured.  Hopefully she will get the help she needs.

I think that they should take very speech she has ever given into consideration at her sentencing. Let her sentence herself. I'm not being vindictive here. MADD is one of those groups thart has oulived its uefulness and become a racket, much ike the NAACP. When it started it did good work letting people know DUI was not ok and educating folks and toughening laws. Once that was accomplished though, they didn't go home. They kept pushing for ever more draconian laws and infringing on civil liberties. Why? To give themselves a reason to exist and keep the money flowing. I have no more respect for MADD than I do for Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. This woman deserves what she gets, in spades. She's dished it out, let her take it.
FQ13 who is a bit peeved at "sobriety check points" and warrantless seizures of blood, as well as the idea of presumptive guilt and calling a right a priviledge. I'll stop before I blow a gasket, but no civil libertarian can hold MADD in very high esteem. >:(

I can see it. 

I got a feeling she was a recovering alchoholic that went extreme with her AA meetings and got into MADD to keep her transferred addiction going.  When she went to far, burned out, or whatever; she fell off the wagon and back into the bottle.

It's gonna be harder to kick it this time.

It is ironic but it reminds me that we are all failed human beings.

And exactly why I try to temper myself knowing I am one second away from some dumb mistake myself.
