Kid was obviously drunk, that's why his dad kept him from the cops, so he would have time to sober tf up for the breathalyzer.

Castrate people like this.*

*allegedly

We're on the same page for the 'fuck this guy' sentiment but I don't specifically fault him for poor judgements made while trying to protect his kid. At the very least his son left the scene of an accident, but most likely his son was driving recklessly and/or drinking (drinking is the only remotely rational reasoning as to why a parent would go so far as to go to jail to keep the kid away from police in that scenario). Parents can be irrational when it comes to protecting their kids.

I fault him for being such a piece a shit that he will publicly in-a-goddamn-full-newspaper-ad demand conformity to malleable school rules of someone else's kids, while breaking the law himself to keep his own child from having to conform to society's legal rules.

Look, we'd all do the same for our kids and more, you know that, it's the hypocrisy that's the problem obviously, but I know we already agree.
