HUMAN SPEED BUMP DOES NOT STOP DRUNK DRIVER

Jonathan Merkley, of Garden Grove, California, was celebrating his 34th birthday Sunday night at a hotel. Merkley friends’ had all been been drinking alcohol. One woman decided to go home, and got behind the wheel of her car. Merkley decided the best way to prevent his friend from driving was to lay down in front of the car. Now, this is where the alcohol really plays into the story: The woman did not stop – she ran over Merkley with her BMW and kept going. The victim suffered major trauma to his chest and died later at a hospital.
* He couldn’t believe she would do such a thing. In fact, he was crushed.
* It’s true what they say: never drink and speed bump.
* So did the drunk lady at least make it home okay?
* The shock here is that a guy this stupid made it all the way to his 34th birthday.
* Then the odds just finally caught up with him.
* Wow, it’s not every day that you see the craziest drunk-driving story of all time.
* It says his friends “had all been drinking alcohol”? How about his friends – or at least this woman – were wasted?
* Didn’t we learn anything about booze from those Olympic swimmers?
* Hmm, she was driving a BMW so I’m resisting the urge to profile here. Let me just say that if the driver does happen to be a rich entitled little brat then I wouldn’t be surprised.
* At the very least, killing the guest of honor is bad manners.
