File this under advocacy groups who I'd like to see disappear (along with the AARP and NAACP...surprisingly, I find the ACLU more palatable the older I get).
During a story on some clown who's been arrested for DWI five times, WBRZ (who purports to be fair and balanced, but has a hard time balancing fair with their editorial bias) wrapped the story up with a quote from the executive director of MADD here in Louisiana. To paraphrase Ms. Donna Tate--I don't know how someone with five DWI arrests can still be driving...
Well, Donna, how about an arrest isn't a conviction. Let's start there. In fact, we can stop right there too. MADD are actually a bunch of people who don't give a rat's tail about your Constitutional or civil rights--all they care about is their agenda, which is pretty much saying that if you drink you're bad.
I'd pay money to see Ms. Tate to get gigged after leaving the bar room and blowing a 0.081.
WOW! That is pretty retarded that the man has had fives arrests for DWI and is still driving in my opinon. It's called.. take a freakin cab!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's retarded is that he has five DWI arrests, but apparently his arrest-to-conviction ratio is out of whack. Uhhh...can we not effectively prosecute in this state?
ReplyDeleteOf course, the gist of the post was that MADD doesn't give a shit about his, yours or my Constitutional rights, i.e. innocent until proven guilty. An arrest, Constitutionally-speaking, doesn't mean anything.
