The Advocate can't do that, River Rat...it might lower the perpetrator's self esteem to be singled out by being first in the listings. The Advocate has a habit of not allowing comments on items they believe will illicit derogatory comments about the principles. P C run amuck...but what's new?

Grover Perkins, 48, 15345 Jester Ave., Baton Rouge, fourth-offense > I wish the advocate would sort the list by dui number instead of name, put the worst at the top

Evidently 1st offense DWI correction is not working very well.
