This us why you don’t leave your child with a drunk:
JEFFERSON, Ore. – A man and toddler were hurt after they were thrown off an ATV on Sunday.
“It was a pretty violent roll,†said Glen Tilley, who witnessed the crash.
Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies said 36-year-old John Pollard drove while intoxicated with a child who was not even 2 years old.
Eyewitnesses and sheriff’s deputies said Pollard got on the ATV and took off down Jefferson-Scio Road with the 23-month-old toddler hanging on.
Pollard drove a couple hundred feet to Wall Lane when he turned and went down the road. Tilley said Pollard’s ATV began to fishtail, tumbling and rolling several times.
“Just rocks and dirt flying everywhere,†said Tilley.
By the time Tilley went to help, Pollard had picked up the toddler in his arms and was back on the ATV headed back to his home.
Authorities said Pollard violated a list of rules for riding ATVs including not wearing a helmet, having a child on board, driving on the street and driving while intoxicated.
The toddler is in serious condition at Legacy Emanuel Hospital.

Interesting….
This man is labeled (and rightly so) a drunk. His trespass is now public knowledge. However, unlike some ninety percent of those highlighted in your victimless crime file, is not labeled a “degenerate”.
Don’t get me wrong, I can certainly see your point and for my part believe
anyone, irregardless of whether or not they smoke pot, who labels themselves a “Stoner” should be shot. However, you seem to hold an interesting double standard as to which drugs are worthy of scrutiny and which drug users are worthy of condemnation. Despite the fact that alcohol related crimes outnumber those relating to other drugs thousands of times over, you see fit not to mention this. Could this be because you yourself imbibe in alcohol from time to time? Assuming your answer to be in the affirmative, I do not feel you deserve to have judgment passed on you. However, I doubt this is the reason for your dualistic logic. I believe you see the marijuana user as a surrogate for leftists in general, whom your position on is all too clear.
I agree with you when you state that legalization will not solve the problem of drug related crime. However, it is a vital part of a larger strategy towards
eliminating it forever. It must be accompanied by a harsh campaign to crush residual crime, including, but certainly not limited to, the imposition of martial law in gang infested areas and the summary execution of violent predicate felons. This will act as a deterrent to all those outside the law, from drug and alcohol abusers to sexual deviants of the worst stripe. Simply put; Give people a free hand to live their lives and make their own mistakes but crush them mercilessly when they step out of line.
