“last week, tragically an 11-year-old boy was killed in an automobile accident in the Washington, DC, area. This young boy was killed by a man who was driving a vehicle apparently very, very drunk and hit four cars. In the last car was a small van that was driving down the road with this young 11-year-old boy listening to his favorite basketball star. He was listening to a Chicago Bulls' game, listening to Michael Jordan play basketball while seated in this family van driving down the road, when he was hit by a drunk driver and tragically killed. I have mentioned before that my family has been visited by this tragedy on a couple of occasions, and I have a special kind of anger in these circumstances when I understand that the person who commits this kind of murder is not just the man who got drunk that day and killed an 11-year-old boy. This happens every 30 minutes in America--every half hour someone else is killed by a drunk driver.”
