Do Not Hire This Guy
This post is intended for future prospective employers to find (several months to a few years down the road, depending on when he gets out of prison) if they do a Google search on job applicants to find out more about them.
Meet Curtis Mertensmeyer. Curtis Mertensmeyer is a rich, pampered, spoiled brat from Mission Hills, KS who was driving drunk (at the not-even-yet-legal age of 20) at about 3am on May 11, 2008. He struck a pedestrian, 25-year-old Daniel L. Riemann, with so much force that is severed the victim's legs. Curtis Mertensmeyer fled the scene, leaving the victim to die in the median. Shortly after Curtis Mertensmeyer abandoned his car and he and his 2 friends fled on foot.
A month later the friends confessed and identified Curtis Mertensmeyer as the driver. Curtis Mertensmeyer pled guilty and was sentenced to 5 years, but may be released in as little as 4 months.
Currently Curtis Mertensmeyer is suing his college fraternity, claiming that hazing caused post traumatic stress disorder and that is what led to his hit-and-run. Blaming others rather than accepting blame himself.
So, if you are considering hiring Curtis Mertensmeyer, I advise you move along to the next resumé in your pile. Otherwise you will be hiring someone with a proven track record of bad decision making skills, disregard for others, an unwillingness to accept responsibility for his actions, and being a person who will try to deflect blame upon others.

Scooter J. Well done. While I realize this guy is a kid -- there are plenty of kids his same age from less privileged backgrounds who a) wouldn't have cried like a little bitch at the prospect of actually being punished for his crime b) would've been sent away for life after being convicted. Suing his frat for PTSD? I hope I'm never in the room when this d-bag inevitably bitches about the 'victim culture' of America's working class and poor. And waiting a month to come clean? That's reflects such a deep lack of character that it more closely resembles psychosis than simple moral bankruptcy. Thank you for posting this.
