1. Why don't people just go down to the police station and party there, then they can make it easier for law enforcement to arrest them there.... or just drink at home.

What makes you think she was drinking? It never said what kind of " Influence " she was under.
She may have been 420ed to the max, or methed out, or smokin' crack. ( oh wait, she eats crack she probably doesn't smoke it. ) but you get my point.

7. I loved her in "A League of their Own" - one of those cheesy movies that's so bad it's actually good! Luckily with Geena Davis, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell in the cast - Lori Petty's hammy over-the-top acting was hardly even noticeable!

10. Unless she was driving up on the sidewalk, it was the skateboarder who was illegally in the street.

12. I'm not saying all skateboarders do this but for the most part I'll be driving and a sb will be on the road and show no respect to the car so sometimes a sb deserves to learn a little lesson..
