sure. But at the end of the day, his child is his responsibility. If her health is poor, take precautions before your date night. If it means you pay more for a nurse with training with that condition, you do it. If it means you have to stay sober at the concert in case an emergency situation arises, you do it
Yup.
as I said, proper preparing is necessary.
To say you should just be home is simply ignorance. that is all I commented on. Noone is disagreeing with the fact that your sitter should be able to handle it.
At the same time, maybe the sitter can handle it usually and panicked. It is what it is. Not everything you do and plan for goes smoothly just because you planned for it.

I can't find another arrest for Clark Haggan.
not saying he should just stay home. But if it comes down to going out drinking and leaving your kid with a medical condition with an under-qualified sitter or staying home, he should have stayed home. And if there was any doubt, he should not have put himself in a situation where he was in no condition to drive. He messed up, he's human. Nobody was hurt, he's serving his time. But I don't see any way to justify what he did...
Was his sitter unqualified or are you just assuming the sitter was unqualified?
Your first post said he should just stay home. I refuted that. The rest I understand. Your wrestling a ghost here.
I assume by his rushing home drunk that she was under-qualified. Otherwise, I would like to think she wouldn't have called him home panicked
fair enough
this whole thread. Yep, it's the dog days of offseason.
Even if his daughter was not part of the story, he would have been driving home drunk, most likely.

Another assumption.
We don't know if his wife was drinking. (We don't know if his wife even drinks.) They could have been with friends and one of those friends could have been the designated driver.)
Sigh....CardLogic nailed it. When's training camp start?
Here ya go. .24 in CO in 2004. That is insane drunk.

Question for me is if he was 3x the legal limit when pulled over, why would the police continue to let him drive as giving him an escort home? So its ok to drive drunk as long as you have a cop in front and back of you?
+1
Youd think they would put him in the cop car and drive him home at 90 mph with the lights on. Protect and serve.

IMO Police are there to investigate crimes/make arrests and enforce the law. If you honestly believe you do not have to protect YOURSELF in this day and age then look at all of the home invasion/shootings/etc where response time is 5-15 minutes. You know how much can happen in 5 minutes? Hell 3 minutes seems like a lifetime in the boxing ring. I could only imagine trying to fend off a home invader with a cell phone and a vase....
Then again on the flipside dont be an idiot like the guy who called the police as he held the robber at gunpoint until the police arrived, once the police got there he ignored their demands he drops the gun (remember they dont know who the bad guy is at first) and ended up shooting the homeowner....
I agree to protect yourself, jus sayin the cop coulda helped him instead of having him continue to drive drunk.
Ps my home invasion lasted 5 minutes, called the cops when they left and they showed up 10 mins later and accused me of being a drug dealer because "this doesnt happen to normal people"
