Joe, let me tell you something.
no father should be drunk in a car with his two two children no father should be drunk in the car with his two young children now this is i'm not talking about 40 years ago where the it was a different situation there's so much information out there and this guy drives into a swamp possibly killing his two children and himself what kind of fool is this man

I guess, you know, he's a fool for getting himself into a swamp with alligators and then deciding to run after the, you know, run away
from the cops.
Maybe he's a drunk zoologist who wants to take his children in for a closer look at nature.
Was he Australian? The young kid was going to be in a car seat, right? Yeah, he had two empty car seats.
So what if that car seat... get jammed, your kid would be dead.
What kind

of idiot is this man? Police say he fell several times, causing the kids to go underwater.

You have a 10-month-old baby underwater, okay? And please excuse me, I'm going to correct myself.

The other child was not eight months old, but two years old, okay? And he just continued on moving, running away from the cops.
Oh, alligators, water moccasins, or cottonmouths, devil scorpions, leeches, mosquitoes, they're all in there.
And yeah, it's okay to drive drunk, but no, you can't take your kids into a swamp.

But thank God both of the kids were saved, okay? But this just shows, you know, how responsible kids are.

not kids, how responsible parents and especially fathers should be with their children, you know, driving in the night with two car seats in the back.
