Whenever I see or hear of a case like this i just wonder, WHY?
Why would anyone be so stupid as to drive when they are drunk?
Why would anyone want to prove how irresponsible they are/can be?
Why would anyone want to damage property to such an extent?
Why would anyone want to go to jail?
Why would anyone want to KILL SOMEONE in this stupid manner?
Why would someone be this careless with THEIR OWN lives?
Just two days back I was woken up at 4:20am, from deep slumber with the telephone
ringing. It was the night security man calling from the main gate of our society asking for my dad. He called to say that some policemen along with four other people had come to our society seeking out the driver of a particular car.
This is what happened.
At around 1:40am this driver came home,the front of the car was smashed in at least
quarter of the hood in. He parked his car unlocked (he wasn't in his senses enough to lock his own car) and went home.
On his way home, on one particular street he drove into THREE parked cars and damaged
them quite a bit. The owners of the cars got up and saw the damage, went to the police station and filed a complaint, and then traced the owner to my society (how they traced him is a very good question, even I want to know, because they never got the plate numbers, and even if they did, it's not possible to trace vehicle owners in Pune through computers, since we don't have such a system. Also the license plates are not Pune plates???).
He then locked himself into his house, didn't open the door or answer the phone. The police came twice to get him and went back. (I think he wanted to stay in the house for a while because it becomes difficult to trace blood alcohol after a certain number of hours).
Meanwhile, the owners of the cars have huge damages incurred; one to fix their cars and secondly the loss of a working day since they woke up so early and also wanted to catch the bas**** who damaged their cars, the time and energy spent running to and from their houses to the police station (and we all know how helpful policemen can be sometimes) and to that idiot's house.
What happened afterwards, I don't know and may not get to know either, how and who he
compensated, other little details I would like to know.
This guy has also been known to come home late at night, drunk, and abuse and shout at the security guards for no reason.
Frankly, I want this guy to FRY. Sit behind bars for a few months till his life crumbles, so he can realise what the hell he has done.
You might think that all he has done is damaged a few cars and deserves better.
I think, what if that was someone walking, or sleeping on the footpaths, someone who he could have injured, or worse, KILLED.
What if that was ME, riding my bike back home.......
What if that was YOU?
