SAMIAM,
I don't have a copy of the magazine. I would be glad to read the story. However, I don't think it would make a difference.
Have I made a "mistake" before? You bet I have, Some doozies at that. Even one that involved property damage. Should not have cut that tree down in the wind. But I stood there and made good. However, one thing I have NEVER done was make a decision that was clearly ILEAGLE.
Littlefield DID NOT MAKE A “MISTAKE,” he made a DECISION. That decision clearly was against the law.
As I stated before, he decided to take the boat to dinner. As far as drinking at dinner, I don’t know what he decided. However if he drank and drove the boat that decision was against the law and was one cause of the tragedy. If he did not drink and was sober then he knew he hit the other boat and decided to run after the boats collided. Again his decision.
Sorry, I have no pity for him or anyone who runs after they hit someone or something with a “boat” or car or truck. They decided to run and they can darn well live with the consequences.
