well what makes me so mad there is so many good people unemployed that wouldn't do drugs or drink . and these coal companey and other companys won't hire them. they would rather hire this kind of trash that would get them self hurt our hurt someone else. where is the drug test, have they stop doing them. every body should be drug tested every month. you would see this stuff not happing because they would think twice of doing it cause they couldnt pass the drug test, and if they do ,they should be fired on the spot, and not giveing thier job back. and then they should give that job to a good familey man. that wants to feed his familey, not buy drugs. i am thankful no one was killed on that school bus. the lord was with them. love and prayers to all.

Another DUI, this one drug related. Driving of all things a huge truck while under the influence! I hope he gets fined and time for each child on that bus and that he gets it consecutively not concurrently!
