I watch the news all the time. I shouldn't get so emotional, but like, your whole family?
00:00:05.420
What up, guys? Welcome to my reaction series. In my lifetime, the narrative officially has been
00:00:11.280
that men are very irresponsible. But really, when you look at it, women are the ones that
00:00:19.340
are irresponsible. Even though the media keeps telling us that men are the ones doing the
00:00:24.240
dangerous stuff, men are the ones that are reckless, it's really women that are the ones
00:00:28.540
that are reckless and we're gonna watch a bunch of videos today of women drinking and driving
00:00:34.420
um to prove it they always say that men are drinking like to drink and drive and that yeah
00:00:39.820
i mean that's true but they're better drivers so they can do it better you know lawrence woman
00:00:44.180
arraigned in her hospital bed is now facing a number of charges in the death of a tow truck
00:00:48.600
driver police say she told them she did three shots of vodka hours before the crash on 495
00:00:59.760
But as Julie McDonald explains, her blood alcohol test showed she was well below the legal limit.
00:01:08.000
Both the suspect and judge appeared surprised by that blood alcohol result during the arraignment here at Tufts Medical Center.
00:01:14.880
Investigators say they're still looking into whether she could have been under the influence of anything else.
00:01:20.600
Sheena Dion of Lawrence closed her eyes and covered her face Friday.
00:01:26.540
She's accused of hitting and killing tow truck operator Dan Cody
00:01:30.500
as he worked in the breakdown lane on 495 in Andover Wednesday.
00:01:35.340
These blue-collar men, I mean, they're really risking their lives to keep society going.
00:01:40.200
I mean, even truckers, right? There's bad drivers everywhere.
00:01:43.540
For the consequences as to what happened, we lost a very good man.
00:01:46.820
In court documents, police say Dion confessed to drinking three shots of vodka
00:01:53.980
but the prosecutor said her blood alcohol was only 0.03. It's well below the legal limit.
00:02:00.360
0.03. Yes, sir. That was the result of the point. I wonder how long it was after,
00:02:06.560
you know, they pulled her over. Women are such bad drivers that they literally thought she was
00:02:11.040
drunk. As investigators look into what else could have been in her system, Dion's attorney points to
00:02:18.660
dangerous weather. I'll get away with it. Women get away with everything. Conditions Wednesday night.
00:02:25.180
Hopefully they do something, you know, change things up a little bit
00:02:27.720
and make things a little safer for us out there.

two to three vodka lemonades. Later, she changed that to five beers, a vodka lemonade, and a shot
00:04:27.140
of vodka. Also saying she was angry at her boyfriend for letting her drive because she

in jail for life like it's not going to bring your family back oh my god that's making me
00:16:17.760
oh my god my heart just broke that's so sad um well guys this is what happens when you give women
00:16:25.260
the right to drive um the problem is women just always think we're going to get out of things
00:16:31.280
because we do get out of a lot of things and therefore because there's no consequences we
00:16:34.880
just keep going um but what's going to happen is women are going to get into positions of power
00:16:39.560
we're going to take them from men because women want to be men and we'll take the high status
00:16:42.900
positions and then women hate other women so feminism is just going to eat each eat itself
00:16:47.840
at some point so anyways all right guys let me know what you think in the comments like the video
