I haven't seen it, but felt compelled to leave a comment...

I went to the same school as Kevin, and was one grade behind him. I remember when this happened. The girl he killed was not a college girl; she was a high school girl that went to the school my wife attended.

This was one of the earliest alcohol-related fatalities in Virginia that sparked the formation of MADD in the DC area. His story was also re-told in Reader's Digest back around '84.

The reason I am posting this, is to say "it's not a fictional movie - it's real". And Susan, the girl he killed, is still dead.

Two nights ago, a neighbor was killed by a drunk teenage girl near my home. The 17 year old GIRL, will end up living the burdened-life that Kevin lives. Folks, for God's sake - drink at home. Keep the car in the garage. Don't kill a mom, daughter or anyone else. It's just too sad. Learn from other's mistakes...
