A motor vehicle is a tool used by us all. Abuse it, and there will be consequences, end of story. There's no need to point the finger, the deed is done. Killing him won't bring the girl back. Nothing will change that, not even God. I hate drunk drivers, but I have no right to judge this person, so I won't. I'm no saint. Neither are any of you.
As for prayer, I feel that's just pointless. It's not that I don't believe in God, because I believe there is something out there. But if it helps you then by all means do. Nothing should stop you.
In any case, this child didn't get into this car thinking, " ****, lets go kill somebody tonight." But regardless it happened, and if he truely is a good person, and really didn't mean for this to happen, then remorse will hurt him more than anything we can do. On the other hand, if he doesn't even care. Then you can do and say all those hurtful things to him. Personally I don't know him, and neither do alot of you. So unless you do know him, don't condem him.
Nobody knows what really happened. Feel sympathy for the act. Feel sorry for ALL the victums, including this boy. Just don't judge him.
Please pray for my brother

i think judgement is widely misunderstood. you can freely judge his actions and maybe his personality. you can judge his fallen nature as we all have that to share. what cant you judge? you cant judge an innocent person thats for sure. more importantly you cant judge a persons eternal destination. you can however point it out to them to help them avoid the coming judgement. pointing out faults would not qualify as judgement.
How can one judge anoter's actions and personality if they do not even know them? All we know is what we have heard. Based on that, nobody should point the finger at this kid. I'm not defending him, but it might not have been his fault. It's a f-ed up situation, and you can point the finger at many people. Why not blame the girl for going out? We don't know what was going on at the time. Whenever a tragedy happens, mankind always looks to point the finger, to find their scape goat. This makes them feel good inside, it makes them feel they aren't responsible, it isn't their fault. This leads to anger, which then leads to hate. Hate is very powerful and Hate won't bring this girl back. All we can do is just deal with what happens and move on, no matter how unfair life can be. And that can be very unfair... This truely is a tragedy, and if this is a good kid that truely feels sorry, then all we can do is give him a second chance in life. Forgiveness is also very powerful.
