No one thinks normally while drinking. Rationality & fear of consequences get thrown out the window. Things seem funny that don't in the morning. You don't have to be dead drink to feel that way.
Just that feeling good, let's party feeling.
Alcohol & rational thought don't mix.
The kid seems like a douche in any case.
I respectfully disagree with most of this. He's a douche alright but he's not even a kid. He's 23 and will be 24 in a few months. Most people are making a living and many are supporting a family at that age.
Also replacing a wheelchair isn't as simple as cutting a cheque and sending someone to Walmart. If it was damaged, the young female amputee may not have a means to move around for several days and it may be weeks before she can get her hands on one that's suitable to her needs. Not to mention the hoops of going through insurance.
I partied a lot and did a lot of stupid things when I was younger but doing something to affect someone with a disability was off limits. Also he's 23 and should be well beyond destroying another person's property for shits and giggles and/or using drunkenness as an excuse.
Like seriously, it was someone's wheelchair at the top of a flight of stairs. It wasn't a shopping cart.
In any event, Daniel Briere was on Jeff Marek's podcast today and of course Marek didn't ask anything about Daniel's son.
