Hetero Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father…

A Northville couple ended up in jail, both facing drunken driving charges, after Ypsilanti Police first pulled over the husband, who was driving with his young son in the car, and then arrested the mother when she showed up to pick up the boy.Officers said they saw the man run a red light at Prospect Road at Clark Road at about 11:20 p.m. Saturday. When they stopped him, they said they gave him a preliminary breath test that registered 0.11. The legal standard for drunken driving is 0.08.
Police said they told the man’s 12-year-old son to call his mother to pick him up.
But when she arrived with her 9-year-old daughter in the car, police said, she also appeared to have been drinking, and registered 0.13 on a PBT. Both children were turned over to a relative, and the parents held until they sobered up.
No word on whether the mother or the father are running for the Northville city council.
Michigan representin', y'all! This is right down the road from me!
Well at least it was only a 0.11 because as everyone knows, even 0.115 isn't really drunk.
EVERYONE DOES IT!
Obligatory false syllogism objection.
Amen to good parenting like this. SEE str8 people DO make better parents even when they are driving druck late at night with the kids in the car.
Here's one for Dan from St. George, Utah:
ST. GEORGE - A 45-year-old woman was arrested when she allegedly slapped an officer twice in the face Saturday night when he took her keys after she attempted to drive away during questioning.
Sgt. James Van Fleet, spokesman for St. George Police Department, said Rosarita Damon, 45, was driving on Indian Hills Drive. He said officers saw her swerving off the road and believed she was driving under the influence of alcohol.
"There was a point where she (Damon) went into oncoming traffic and almost caused a head-on collision," Van Fleet said.
He said Damon's vehicle eventually stopped along the roadside. At that point two juveniles, both 9, exited the car. Another juvenile, 13, stayed in the front seat.
"One of the juveniles ended up being Rosarita's child. They got out of the car because her driving scared them," he said.
When the officer approached the vehicle Damon allegedly became uncooperative.
"Her daughter in the front seat was telling her mom to listen to the police," Van Fleet said.
Van Fleet said Damon tried to drive away. The officer then took her keys and put them on the hood of the car.
"The officer had Rosarita get out of the car. The officer could see she could not walk on her own and tried to assist her," he said. "She tried to hit him and was put in cuffs."
This is so mild! Did that last round of Slogging scare you off from the really bad examples of parenting? Drunk driving = bad idea with or without kids in the car. There's kids in the other cars on the road when people drive drunk.
Ah, makes me nostalgic for the good ole days when dad would take me to the pub whenever he wanted to hoist a few when I was a tot. Then we'd play a rousing game of "parked car pinball" on the way home. *sigh*
Seriously though, (ok, seriously still, he'd do that all the time)
Drunk driving = no no
Drunk driving with kids = just plain fucking stupid
If the couple in question in your (Dan's) post were gay instead of straight, I hope you would come down hard on them too.
*I should clarify that "Parked Car Pinball" is a game played by drunken drivers who take side roads on the way from the bar.
Apparently they do this partly in the hope to avoid being pulled over but also, judging by how my dad drove, to bounce off parked cars lined up on the side of the street so they don't swerve off the road.
