An 18-year-old in Oregon was arrested after he posted on Facebook about driving drunk and a hit-and-run he just committed. His post went as follows: "Drivin drunk...classic ;) but to whoever's vehicle I hit I am sorry :P" Two of his Facebook friends reported it to police who then, in turn, matched it to a hit-and-run report that had been filed. They then matched the damage to the car to his car and he was arrested.
Wow. Just wow.
Driving drunk in itself is a stupid move. People die daily from someone's decision to drive under the influence. Posting about it on Facebook isn't too bright either. But actually hitting a car and posting about it? Now THAT'S dumb.
We already know that alcohol impairs your judgement which is why you shouldn't drive but apparently you shouldn't get on Facebook either. His judgement had to be impaired for him to almost brag about hitting a car. And he apologized! Like the person he hit is his friend on Facebook and would see his apology and be like, "Oh it's all good man, I saw your apology on Facebook. No big deal." Yea...right.
This kid just deserved to be arrested. Maybe jail will teach him to think twice about what he posts on Facebook.
Drunk driving....drunk texting...drunk facebooking...All BAD IDEAS. If you think about doing any of these, just don't. Save yourself (and others) from injury and/or embarrassment.
