Because he drank, because he drove while intoxicated, he has killed his wife,their mother, Roxanna Mendoza Demers.
Because he drank, because he drove while intoxicated, he also killed their four sons, Ezra, Jeshua, Abram, and Silas. They will never know the joys of growing up, falling in love, becoming men in their own right.
All because their husband and father couldn't not drink to intoxication and couldn't not drive.
Why do I harp on this? I have seen the human wreckage that selfish folks like Larry Demers leave in their wake because they cannot stop their drinking, because they are out of control, because they are in denial of their true nature.
Because we, yes we, allow folks like him to go on their way, to go on and continue to drink and drive, to drive and cause people to die.
