White Privilege On Full Display
A DUI driver who killed 8 migrant workers in Florida rehashed old memories of someone I knew with many DUI’s on their record
On May 14, a man driving under the influence sideswiped a bus transporting migrant workers killing 8 and injuring at least 40. Thirty-three of those injured remain in the hospital with some in serious condition. The driver, Brian McLean-Howard faces eight counts of DUI manslaughter with additional charges likely to come due to the serious nature of the injuries for those who remain hospitalized.
McLean-Howard has an extensive history of driving under the influence, drug possession, and leaving the scene of an accident several times. During his arrest, he admitted to officers that he had left the scene of an accident just three days before colliding with the bus. His arrests date back to 2005 according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in Central Florida.
