It's Prison, yo!

I was browsing the web looking for a story to write when I came upon something rather interesting for me to rant express my opinions in a civilised manner about.

So, it looks as though my blog has turned into torubled-rich-kids-with-a-slight-affection-for-the-narcotics zone.

For those of you who watch
Prison Break you will recognise this actor, Lane Garrison, as the haphazard 'Tweener'. It would appear as though life is imitating art for the 26-year-old actor as he's once again run into a little bit of trouble with the law enforcement.

Garrison, as reported was at the wheel of the car when it mounted the curb hitting a tree, killing his 17-year-old passenger. There are so many questions to be asked which really don't look like they have positive answers to.

For starters, what is a 26-year-old adult doing 'hanging out' with two under-age teenage girls? What adult drives a car, with passengers, whilst intoxicated? His highly paid, ivy league lawyer claims the actor had only two drinks and decided to take them home, however, eye witnesses from the party y two drinks and decided to take them home, however, eye witnesses from the party dispute this.

I know it's easy to condemn someone when only knowing certain parts of the story, but things aren't looking too good for Garrison at the moment. The reality that he killed someone is going to torture him for the rest of his life, but the fact is, if you've had 'several rounds of shots' you don't drive. As an adult, you would think that he would know this. Although, it's alarming how many youths think they're invincible when it comes to alcohol. I would also be a lot more sympathetic if this wasn't his second drink driving related accident in two months and if he was mature and repenting enough to admit to his mistakes, rather than hiding behind his lawyers and feeble excuses.

Police investigations are still ongoing. We'll have to wait and see how good his lawyer actually is then.
