1. Best quote of this call:
"Get a Paramedic there STAT!"

2. the girl who did this should be locked up for a very, very long time. not only was she stupid enough to drink and drive, but after running someone down, she had no thoughts of the girl who was hit. she only thought of herself, and how much trouble she would be in if caught. the fact that there are people in this world who are so selfish, who couldn't care less about the injured party and are just worried about saving their own asses, makes me sick.

the sad fact is that this happens every day, all across the world, and that many times there aren't people standing by filming and catching the drunk driver. such a travesty. hopefully this driver will be locked up, and will make at least ONE person think twice about driving after drinking. how would the driver have felt if someone would have hit her, or someone in her family- and then just DRIVEN OFF? such a sad, sad situation.

3. YOU NEED TO THROW THE BOOK AT THESE PPL THEY THINK IT'S OK TO RUN AFTER THEY HIT SOMEONE. THEY SHOULD LOSE THE PRIVELEDGE OF OWNING A DRIVER'S LICENSE FOREVER.

5. Thank you TMZ for giving us full coverage on this tragedy. This is the best news TMZ has covered in the history of TMZ. The victim's boyfriend should be voted TMZ Hero of the Year. I forward all the posts on this story to everyone I know. Hopefully, it will bring more awareness to those that are going out to the clubs and drinking and driving. As a Los Angeles resident, I am terrified of being hit by a drunk driver. I was hit by a woman in West Hollywood a few weeks ago who took off. I was able to get the license plate and when I got a call from the West Hollywood sheriff, he told me she was uninsured. I'm thinking she was probably drunk, too. The detective is super helpful and we are settling out of court. I just want to thank the West Hollywood sheriff's department for all of the hard work they do.

6. The criteria for 911 operators must be pretty low.

10. Lala, unless you've been a dispatcher, then you probably have no idea what you're talking about. it's not an easy job to have to help people handle emergencies. they get the information as fast as they can, and then try to do what they can to keep the caller calm. fact of the matter is there was nothing wrong with this dispatcher, and everything wrong in the situation stems from the fact that some STUPID, DRUNK BIMBO decided that laws didn't apply to her, and it was ok for her to run an innocent bystander down and then attempt to drive off.

11. THEY ARE TRAINED TO KEEP YOU THE LINE, THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE COPS ENROUTE BUT THEY NEED TO KEEP PPL ON THE LINE,IT'S PART OF THERE JOB, EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS,LALA, BUT THAT IS THE WAY IT IS.

12. Any update on the victims condition? The other girl should be locked away for a long, long time.

13. I THINK THE VICTIM WAS LUCKY TMZ WAS THERE TO GET THE WHOLE THING ON FILM. I'M SURE IT WILL BE USED AGAINST HER, AS IT SHOULD. SHE SHOULD BE PUNISHED TO FULLEST.
AS FAR AS THE FRIEND/BOYFRIEND OF THE VICTIM I SON'T KNOW HOW HE KEPT HIS COOL WITH THAT DRUNK I THINK I WOULD HAVE DRAGGED HER BACK TO THE SCENE WHERE THE VICTIM WAS NOT BE NICE TO HER AND HUG HER! WHAT WAS HE THINKING. I UNDERSTAND BE COMPASSIONATE BUT HE DIDN'T BEAT HER. THAT WAS SHOWING ENOUGH COMPASSION!!! I KNOW THE VICTIM WILL HAVE A LONG RECOVERY BUT I DO HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR HER. THAT STUPID DRIVER IS LUCKY SHE IS ONLY GOING TO COURT FOR FELONY CHARGES AND NOT M U R D E R !
PEOPLE PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE USUALY THE INNOCENT GET HURT BUT NOT ALWAYS.

14. Ok this may sound mean, but honestly, this dispather sounded drunker than Drunky. Part of it was how inarticulate he is and how he doesn't enunciate properly. If this guy was on the phone with me, I'd freak thinking I was trying to get through to a moron. Dispatchers should have a calm, CAPABLE sounding demeanor, they shouldn't sound as if there next question should be 'you want fries with that'.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the job they have to do, it's probably never easy and often horrible, but when your only contact in a horrific accident is someone whose speech patterns sound lazy, your confidence in their abilities goes down.

Glad TMZ aired this audio. The more people who can hear firstand the devastation wrought by these Drunkys, the better.

15. I feel primarily bad for the injured girl, make no mistake about that. But I also feel bad for the driver. I've had a DUI myself, and thank God it was just a traffic pull-over and not an accident. Even really good people can have several drinks, think they are OK, and get behind the wheel. I'm by no means excusing that behavoir, but sometimes good people can make bad errors in judgement in these situations. The general, full proof "RULE OF THUMB" is: DO NOT GET ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR CAR WITH YOUR CAR KEYS IF YOU HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DRINK IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.AND MY GOD, STAY AWAY FROM ALL OTHER SUBSTANCES, PRESCRIPTION OR STREET, BECAUSE THOSE GENERALLY STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM A LOT LONGER THAN ALCOHOL. The police are out for blood. And if they think you have any kind of mind altering substance in your body, even if it is just a little bit of cough syrupt, they will give you a DUI. They will give give you a DUI, with pleasure, even if your BAC is .02. The girl who caused this accident (assuming she caused it) life is going to be forever changed by this, now that she is looking at a probably feloney conviction.
