    Just as twisted as it gets. Imagine losing all four of your children because some guy is drugged out. There’s zero excuse for this. And the court that let him out on $35k bail? Are you kidding me? This guy doesn’t deserve even a minute of anymore freedom.

    Burns over 50%, more than likely he wont make it. Your skin is your largest organ. I personally wouldnt want to live through that.

    Seriously, you get a couple DUIs and the government makes you buy a blow machine for your car that you have to blow into all day long every time you want to drive somewhere.

    A couple drug convictions. Hey buddy, here's your CDL! Have fun!

    If the agonizing pain from the burns don’t get you the skin grafts will!!!

    Infections get a lot of burn patients too. A burn patient is usually a patient for life.
    My wife was a pediatrician and one of her patients was a five year old boy who was playing with matches and set a gas can on fire. They worked with that little guy for three years and finally lost him.

    Sounds like the owner was trying to help the guy out. I'm sure he believed the guy's story about how he was turning his life around etc., but "observing" him ain't gonna cut it. Drug test weekly, different day every week, since a lot of the stuff (like heroin and meth) are out of your system in three days.

    Better yet, don't hire the guy to drive a truck. Have him sweep up the shop or something if you want to help him out.

    Exactly, if they're clean for 3 to 5 years working in the shop or yard then i get giving them a chance at driving, not currently on probation for last years offense.
