A MADD Joke

Something funny happened.

El Paso MADD honored District Attorney Jaime Esparza for his efforts to curb drunk driving.

Why is that funny?

Because, unless I am wrong, Esparza has not done a single thing about this asshole:

 

Good ol' Canutillo ISD Trustee Armando Rodriguez, you know, the guy who ran into a telephone pole after leaving a bar.

Then there is that other asshole - former County Commissioner Carlos Aguilar.

 

I am sure at one time MADD did a great job, but like with other organizations mission creep has taken over.

If MADD can over look the lack of action by Esparza on high-profile cases, it is because MADD is more interested in keeping up appearances and hobnobbing than it is in curbing drunk driving.

And if MADD were serious about drunk driving, it would take on car-centric planning cos' let's face it people are gonna drink.  But if they can walk home drunk rather than drive, I am sure a lot more lives would be saved.

Any arrest or alleged crime committed by an elected official sits in the deadwood department at Jaime Esparza's office. Ann Lilly will soon leave office and the complaint filed against her from a city employee that she threatened is now 15-16 months old and nothing has happened and nothing will. If an elected official committed murder it would probably go to the DA deadwood department and die a natural death. The rich and the politicians will always be protected unless of course the FBI gets involved and they seem to get the job done.

This is why we need a new DA. Now if our DA had been fighting to turn DWI/DUI into a felony instead of the misdemeanor that it is today then maybe he would be deserving of the MADD award but he hasn't. As someone who has lost 4 members of their family to a drunk driver I can say MADD made a huge mistake. MADD is no longer relevant. What we need is for our Law Enforcement and our Politicians to get these 3,4,10 time DWI offenders off the road.
