Now this is what makes good people, and drivers look bad. I have a past, but every incident is between me and my mother. I have to answer for my mistakes till the day I go, and even after. Doesn't mean I don't have morals, yet will probably be denied multiple employment opportunities. The victim and the suspect are both guilty, I don't agree with the for profit government, but c'mon. Just saying!!
