A bad event, with a relatively good outcome. If you can call trading three lives for bringing down the corrupt Union.

Happened to me once, 30 years ago. In my defense, I had driven for an hour at night, came into town and did not notice I lost my lights until leaving town. Still 30 minute from home after midnight. After checking, I lost all electrical in the car. Alternator died and I drained the battery. Once the car was off, it was off. Luckily I stopped at a gas station with a payphone. Got a pickup and went back next day. Jumped the car drove it to a friend's auto garage to get a rebuilt alternator.

After that, I normally consider lights out at night an oops or an emergency. But some are just pricks.

With a corrupt legal system in PA, more than a few judges and DAs routed kids to juvie. Mass, large scale child abuse. Child abuse by the system, but it's OK, until you get caught.
