Agreed it’s sick. Wasn’t always that way, but definitely toxic last generation.

Newsflash I have a sibling raising her kids in an entirely different metro area and it’s like that there too. It’s any community with some degree of wealth and entitlement.

Didn’t say it was the sickest place to raise kids. But it’s in the top 1 percent thanks to the type of people who have moved into Arlington the past generation.

I grew up in Bethesda in the 90s and it was much worse. Parties every weekend.

In the 80s for Gen X it was more benign neglect when partying occurred but people didn’t welcome it in their homes. No one cared what we were doing but don’t bother them with it either.

Yes, I'm gen x and that's what I mean. Our older siblings could drink at 18 so the parents really didn't think it was that big of a deal. They would just pretend it wasn't happening. Now, my friends with high schooler actively let them drink in their houses and think that "taking their keys" is enough.

You should be thankful that your tear down is worth 10x what you paid for it.

Does that mean he stays in jail until the court date?

If the judge denied bond this morning, his lawyer can petition a higher court for a bond hearing. But yes, for now, he's in jail. And if the higher court denies bond, he'll stay in jail.

I wonder if the decision to refuse a breathalyzer and blood test at the scene is at all a factor? That shows a level of non-cooperation the judge could take into consideration. I don't know how judges decide these things though.

It means Daddy is a lawyer.

Or has friends who are. So, all of N. Arlington.

Not a huge leap to assume the kid made a call right after the accident.

It’s far from the most important aspect of this tragedy, but everyone should know this and think about it hard enough to actually be able to follow through with it should the need arise.

Name. Lawyer. Don’t answer questions or submit to any search (including breathalyzer).

Go on. You are not lying. Please go on.

But seat belts save lives. So wearing it could have saved this young man's life. Tell your kids to always buckle up. Always.

The last is often overlooked, but it's that SPEEDING KILLS. If the young man behind the wheel had been going to speed limit, even while impaired, no one would be dead right now. He might have hit some parked cars and stopped. He flipped because he was speeding. If you go the speed limit, you don't flip over.

Not necessarily true. From the cars he crashed into though it does look like he was speeding and went airborne on impact of the third car when he clipped it.

You should get something nice for living in NARL.

These kids were 18 and 19. In college. I want to point this out. Some comments are assuming these were high schoolers. The thread started this way.

Much harder to control college kids. Heavy drinking in college has always been a thing and parents can’t do anything about it.

I am not condoning anything. Sad that they don’t drink and drive message is still not getting through.

I think the comment above about the being first time back from college and excited to see friends and act like college kids is right on. I won’t be surprised to hear that this kid didn’t have a pattern of drinking and driving.

When I was in college 30 years ago (I know), I visited my cousin at a state school and there were parties every weekend where the amount of alcohol served was staggering, and the point of the parties was to get knockout drunk. And I think for some kids, the freedom to do that is almost kind of the point of at least much of the first year of college. Not talking about these kids, and I don't know if things are different now (and there are definitely colleges and kids where that isn't the point). But freshman year, man -- that can be a whole thing.

Tragic. Condolences and empathy to all the young men involved and their families. Where did Nicholas go to college?

I do not understand any of the comments saying "it could happening to any of us."

Those comments tell me that you relate to this situation, either as a parent or your teenage past.

For MANY of us, that is simply not the case. The recklessness is unfathomable, except in the sense of being concerned about being an innocent victim on the road. It could not have happened to my teenage self, or me as a parent.

Many of your posting here need to grow up yourselves, and develop a healthier and safer relationship with alcohol - and demonstrate that regularly to your kids. Who the F cares if it's boring to try and be sober on a night out? Or an inconvenience to leave your car and take an uber?

Yup. Kids are way way more sheltered these days. College is a culture shock.

Ole Miss doesn’t have a “Fall Break.”

What's your point? My son is at UVA and was home for Fall Break this weekend. Lots of kids came home even if they didn't have an official Fall Break since it was a long weekend for many.

My point is Ole Miss doesn’t have a fall break.

OK, stalker.

DP- That’s not necessary. Many of us are from Arlington and have kids at Yorktown, HB or W and L. It’s common knowledge.

It’s one thing to know it.

It’s another to post details about these kids’ lives on DCUM.

It’s 1/2 step away from the a-hole doxx posts.
