QuoteDrunk driver killed after being run over by own vehicle

WAKE FOREST, N.C. -
A Wake Forest man was driving drunk and recklessly in a parking lot before he fell out of his vehicle and died early Monday, according to police.

Carl Wilson Stancil was under the influence of alcohol and driving his Jeep around the parking lot of the Carolina Ale House on North Park Drive at approximately 2:30 a.m. when he lost control, struck a curb and was ejected from the Jeep, Wake Forest police said.

Stancil was run over by his own Jeep after falling out of the doorless vehicle. The Jeep continued to drive through the parking lot until one of the four passengers in the car applied the brakes.

One passenger was seriously injured.

Stancil was taken to WakeMed and pronounced dead.

I expect there was a (possibly somewhat delayed) scramble even to get to the brakes after the driver was plopped out.

Darwin meets Jade Helm

http://conservativefrontline.com/breaking-operation-jade-helm-claims-first-civilian-casualty/

QuoteIt was on their way back towards the Wal-Mart on W Ford Rd that Burt's pickup truck struck a deer, critically wounding the animal. Seeing the deer in distress, Burt decided a mercy kill was in order. The bullet from Williams' AR 15 allegedly blasted through the deer's brain and ricocheted off the road, striking fellow PP4T member Cledus Reed in the throat, killing him almost instantly.

Burt was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and firing a weapon within city limits. It is unknown at this time if he will face further charges. Released on bail, Williams will appear in court Aug. 3rd.

Clearly there is more than one group shadowing the troops. Reports I had read were that the observers were to be unarmed in order to avoid any...misunderstandings.

And drinking and driving is unacceptable. Idiots.

When everyone is armed, how do you tell who is a civilian and who is military? Oh yeah, the civilians are the drunk ones.

There are always a few exceptions to the rule.

Darwin indeed has helped the natural selection. Our justice system will take care of the other one.

To clarify, lest I get myself labeled, I favor the right to bear arms.  I just prefer common sense go with it.  The "everybody is armed" comment is specific to the Texas situation.

I agree. Everyone has the right to bear arms, but not everyone should.
