I choose to hear the facts before forming an opinion or s***ting on people.
And a personal experience as well. Back in 1998 I was driving home from being out after a Sox game. It was about 2 in the morning and I was crusing down I57, as I lived in Alsip at the time. An asshole in a Volvo cut me off.. I went flying across 3 lanes of mild traffic at 47th street, hit the curb, my car flipped three times and rested upside down. I should have been dead. The cops came.. it was a huge ordeal. There was litter - including beer cans - all over the embankment. Immediately they thought I was driving drunk. There I was on the side of the road at 2 in the morning bleeding from my head from the broken sun roof of my car and they wanted me to blow. I was not drunk.. but that's not the point. The accident was not my fault. Totally out of my control. Yet everyone just assumed I was drunk. So much for assuming...
So yes.. I give folks the benefit of the doubt. If that makes me a bad person, or niave, so be it I guess.
