Third offense, clearly a problem drinker and the type who often go on to cause fatal wrecks.

Good he was stopped and appropriately sentenced.

As far as I am concerned you should be given 20 stripes with a cane on the first offense, 50 on the second and executed on the third DUI.

Punishment isn’t (or shouldn’t) be about punishing a law breaker. It should be about deterring behavior. Drunk drivers, through depraved indifference, kill, burn, and maim people. The punishment should be severe enough that the act becomes rare. Very few people will put themselves in a position to drive drunk after once having had their ass carved up by a split bamboo rod.

Why Western culture tolerates so much violent criminal behavior is beyond my comprehension. And why we build monster factories called prisons is also beyond my comprehension.
