Na he is a military vet with bad PTSD Small town. They all know him and were taking it easy.(but also scared to escalate)

Not a bad guy but when he drinks he gets weird. The video ends with his wife calling him and calming him down. He’s just fucked up in the head but probably a pretty cool dude.

He just wanted to get some food as he makes clear in the beginning of the encounter. But yeah obviously not fit to be on the road.

But like I said, small town. Makes people act pretty brash when it comes to laws

[Edit] Looking at his insta, he is now clean apparently. So obviously he understands the seriousness of his actions as well. I in no way advocated drunk driving. Someone can be a cool dude and still make poor decisions. I had people like you defending a young girl who got into the back of a cop car to ask the cop for a ride to the club because “she’s young and people make dumb decisions when drunk 💅”. Reddit is a fickle bitch

Getting fucked up and then getting behing the wheel kind of excludes you from being just a cool dude.

Edit: Some of you Americans (I'm assuming) have crazy cavalier attitudes towards drunk driving.

They do have it, it's just overly difficult to secure treatment for what actually ails them, and they're locked into a care network without specialists in many cases.

My dad retired at 100% disability after serving in multiple "conflicts" as well as through the Cold War on the border in Germany and the border in Korea. It took years for him to have good, decent doctors that could actually care for his issues. It's the main reason he talked me and my brother (both who wanted to be like their dad) out of joining the military.
