suttonhoo said...: causing an accident that puts human life at risk because you’re drunk is horrible.

leaving a woman to die submerged in a locked car in 8 feet of water; going home to bed while she’s still alive and calling the police only after her lifeless asphyxiated body is found? that is pure gothic horror.

btw: Joyce Carol Oates, who wrote a book about Chappaquiddick once upon a time, had a piece in the Guardian today. she seems to be of the same mind. (interesting that it ran in a UK paper -- I’d be surprised to see anything like this in the U.S.); Thursday, August 27, 2009 7:39:00 PM
