Didn't mean to argue

I'm sorry for arguing Thomas, I don't want to fight about it but I analyze things and have to explain them to even get them straight in my own head- u know how I am- so I apologize in advance...
I don't mean it absolutely wasn't her fault, and I'm not saying YOU'RE blaming anyone, but people are blaming one or the other and it's the biggest part of the whole thing I can't get out of my head. It was a tragedy and I'm sorry for both sides, especially Drew's, in my opinion.

Two days after he died, I went to www.thetelegraph.com to read the article comments by people in the community (which are currently not posted anymore), and instead of your basic "so sorry for the untimely and tragic death of your son" I read comments like, "he was drinking underage and driving so it was his fault" and to his mom- "how could you even let your son drink alcohol? it must have been your fault" which is OUTRAGEOUS and completely HORRIBLE and INSENSITIVE to a poor nice woman who lost her son days earlier and disrespectful toward good kid who lost his life... but then also comments in reciprocation to that about how "she was on drugs and ran a stop sign and it was her fault," when really, both kids made stupid mistakes and both are paying for it in different ways. I was outraged that people would even THINK about posting these horrible things when they should have been comments of sympathy. I can't believe some people sometimes.

You have good points, but the fact that both made their mistakes at the same time and collided is what killed him, not him speeding down Alby with however much alcohol in his system (which nearly everyone has done once or twice at least in their lifetimes), or her running a stop sign with drugs in her system. Because I hardly ever go 30 on that street, I had plenty of beers in me before I drove to mom's last night, and I remember when Andy used to drive home from my house at 2 a.m. or later never stopping at a single stop sign because he seemed to be the only driver on the road. He's lucky he was right, but she was wrong if that's what she thought, and she is paying for it. Plus, that intersection is dangerous anyway cuz it's hard to see, especially at night (trust the person who STILL drives around for fun!)

I'm sorry I really don't want to analyze this to death but like I said I have been thinking about it a lot. And I'm really sad for his family- and like I said although I didn't know him personally, I went to school with him for about 6 years, and he was almost always in James' class. It's such a shame for such a young kid.
