100 Arrested in Kent Street Racing STING!!

I say, "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!"

These kids have NO IDEA the chances they are taking. Mortality doesn't kick in until you're about 25, sometimes 30. Death is something that happens to someone ELSE.

Well, my son was KILLED by a drunk driver who thought he was going to follow in his father's footsteps of being a race car driver. One of HIS friends said, "Oh, David Butterton, his THING is going around corners sideways." Well he went around the MARKED 25 mph HARD LEFT CURVE on Union Mills Rd SIDEWAYS right into a TREE, killing my BEAUTIFUL son INSTANTLY.

Then had the nerve to go around town telling people he didn't think would tell, "Oh I'm going to walk I didn't blow very high." IS HE NUTS? Well he just got out of 3 1/2 years in prison for killing my boy. TWO YEARS EARLY for good time. Not much for murder in my mind. I think when you drive 80 mph ON PURPOSE you should get charged with MURDER! Not just vehicular homicide, that carries a 3 yr sentence. He did get an extra 24 months tagged on for having a previous DUI, *two years prior that he'd done nothing the court told him to do when he killed my boy.*

He was waiting on a probabtion violation hearing that had been postponed by his attorney Rick Cordes, several times. Then when he does show up for his hearing less than a month after THE CRASH, he walks in to court and low and behold my son and I are sitting there. What does he do? He looks over and says, "Hey." HEY?????? to the family of the kid you just killed. I thought my son was going to burst. I walked into the probation office and asked, "Why is that guy here? He killed my son and I want to know why he's here. Is he here about my son's death?" We had NO IDEA he had been on probation at the time of the crash until that day. Until that day I had really thought THE CRASH was just a horrible ACCIDENT. The blood work wasn't back yet, and we had NO IDEA about his history. Almost killed himself AND others in '95 in a freeway crash.

His sister was killed in a DUI crash in the early 90's, that people have said his other sister caused. Drunk driving home from the Evergreen Ballroom acting out and bumped the car from behind. She went home hid the car and went back to the scene to find her sister DEAD. She got away with it. The FAMILY told us this. NOW, this is hearsay, so I'm just repeating what was told to me. BUT it was told to me by about 30 people AND FAMILY MEMBERS! That's the sort of family he comes from.

So, there you have it. My commentary on drunk driving and these kids who think this racing is COOL. DEAD COOL!
