HE WAS DRUNK AND OVER 21....AND MANAGED TO KILL

The dude managed to kill a cyclist at 7 a.m.......a DUI...pray tell, was he drinking all night long?

KUAM news reports on their webpage that a sailor on the USS Frank Cable killed a cyclist and injured two others(cyclists) at 7 a.m. this morning. He was arrested for DUI....since he'll have to be tried for vehicular homicide, I'll insert alleged for homicide and injuries of the other two due to DUI and recklessness, even if the cop seemed sure that speed and alcohol was a factor for the crash and death of the man from Barrigada Hts.
What baffles me is how one can still be drunk and driving drunk at 7 a.m......, heck, the sun's up at 7 a.m., who would want to be drunk so early in the morning?
I hate to say it but the fact that the man involved is in the military is going to raise some hairs on the back of some locals and we'll be talking about it next week on the talk shows....predicting that more of the same will sure to happen when the Marines arrive.....unfortunately, whether it's the Marines or the Army or Navy, it you bring in 8,000 more people, you're bound to bring in people that will drink and drive and be reckless.....you always get some bad apples in a barrel...seems this sailor just happens to be one of them...but not to worry, he'll have his day in court and there'll be some 'down time' at the ole DOC where he ain't gonna be a happy camper!
How many more will our roads claim before the year is up? We never seem to learn our lesson on drinking and driving.......if you want to survive the new year celebrations.....stay home.......preferably inside....you're reminded of course that we have idiots that like to shoot their guns off for no reason and from time to time, the bullets fall and injure people who are at the wrong place at the wrong time......otherwise, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

If that military person who "allegedly" killed the biker was Chamorru then what? Would you still fault him because he was a member of the military. If that was a local boy that did it, would we condemn our own people for having a history of drinking (look at the parties around the island where alcohol is being served right next to the Chamorro Punch. Where Uncle Joe asks his 5 yeard old boy to get him a beer). We can easily lay blame on other races but take a good look at our own home. Let's clean up our act before we start criticizing others. Dead is dead. Nothing in this world will ever bring him back.

This is really tragic to the family of victims caused by military personnel. The government of Guam should have full custody of him and not turn him over. The crime was committed on our land the Chamorro people. This isn't the first either and there talking about 8000 Marines and there dependants this won't be the last if they move to our island. The island should not accomodate these troops thats why Okinawa does'nt want them.Fakmata! Wake up stop military build up on the island it is just a small paradise for our families not for the military. The Chamorro people should have a word with out our consent is Communism that isn't Democracy. Friendly Protests should get there attention!STOP MILITARY BUILD UP IN GUAM! Theres to many outsiders already. Chamorro activists are trying to haul them away, I Nasion Chamorro is adressing the issue at the U.N. thats the wise decision that we should all know. Lets STOP being silent and let our voices be heard! I Tano i man Chamorro!
