You should have let him spend the weekend in jail.
Instead you made excuses.
Sorry, don't mean to be critical but I saw that clear as day and I believe it is these things you need to see.
Take it from me, I speak from the stand point of a recovering alcoholic, I have more than a puny DWI under my belt,
he might get a slap on the wrist that will scare him so bad, I could do that nonsense the judge will hand down on
Mr. Ritchie Rich standing on my head.
Wouldn't phase me, wouldn't even touch my resolve, what are we talking about, a thousand bucks or two and few days in jail?
I got that much cash in my stash, and the time in jail I can re-arrange everything all around it, nobody would ever know.
Granted, the issue with the driver's license I would find highly inconvenient.
But had you actually, totally let me sit my carcass in the county jail the entire time and let me be up to my own devices.
Now THAT would have sucked!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what you need...
Is what I beg of you to do, when these things happen, take a tough stand and don't waiver.
Not for the alcoholic, not a chance, don't do it.
Had you done that for me, I may not have gone as far...
Now I'm not blaming you, we're good.
Peace out
