<p>I am sure that is a comfort to their parents’-
Forgive me for the snark.

But why is it- when an underage driver- is arrested for DUI, and jailed- their license is not pulled for TWO MONTHS afterwards?</p>
<p>How hard is it to shut them down immediately?</p>
<p>If someone was firing a weapon- injuring people but not killing them- wouldn’t we take their weapon away?</p>
<p>How is this different?</p>
<p>At least they removed the picture of the car wrapped around the Taco Time pole.</p>
<p>Wow. </p>
<p>Though I think pulling his license immediately would not have helped. </p>
<p>Someone who would break the law like this with drinking and driving (probably far more than these two times!), would hardly worry about breaking the law by driving without a license. </p>
<p>Something more serious and impactful would have had to happened after accident one to have prevented this tragedy.</p>
<p>Sad to say, but the parents were fools to not pull the kids license or take away the keys themselves.</p>
<p>I agree that I am wanting to know just what his parents tried to keep him off the road and I also agree that some people are going to drink anyway.</p>
<p>That is the logic some parents use when allowing their teens to drink or to host drinking parties , that they were going to drink anyway.</p>
<p>But I feel there is substantive difference between the liklihood of the behavior continuing and aiding and abetting it. For the city ( since the parents had not been able to control him- although it doesn’t say if he was still living at home, I , myself moved out when I was 17), to release him in the morning after causing that sort of damage & to not take his license away for TWO months, indicates that it wasn’t a priority.</p>
<p>What kind of message was that sending someone, whose frontal cortex was apparently not in working order?</p>
