How could this guy not know what he was doing? Even drunk, you still know what you’re doing, for the most part. I think it was done on purpose.

This is a holiday. Where were his friends and family telling him not to drink and drive. Given the book: he has issues he wants help with, and nobody is there for him. It's not a substance issue. It's a personal problem. Me and my Fam loves drinking, We also love carpooling in A cab.

This is why I stay home. Im a filmmaker and I just went outside to capture some shots of the fireworks and these drunk guys were setting up fireworks right next to the busiest corner off the walkway and people were running to avoid getting hit with the sparks. Then random cars were speeding by throwing lit fireworks at crowds. People are crazy.

[edwardgensheimer]
