No life jackets, alcohol may be involved. Sad. They were all from Guatemala, and lived in Oakland. Some were relatives. The paper referred to the driver as the "Capt." Clueless. The driver is in jail on manslaughter charges and $400k bail. Hard to put the blame on him in my estimation. They were all adults and should have some responsibility for their own wellbeing. They should have never made it away from the dock... I would have called the cops if I had seen that boat leaving the dock. 1 am is when the reports came in. And the cops would probably be at the coffee shop anyway. |
