I’m not a MADD fan, but this guy is a monkeybarrel full of trouble. EIGHT DUIs, four of them felonies?
He can’t learn? the guy is so smart he can’t learn or realize he needs help? He needs to be in jail to get sober and stay sober. He needs to be in AA the rest of his life. He shouldn’tbe able to drive. He is a friggin drunk danger! Half of us’d be screaming if he killed someone hammered.
I agree. danger to society! Yet....these people are drunks, they AREN’T capable of thinking rationally. They AREN’T going to do the responsible thing because their junkies!
personally I don’t think the laws are fixing this problem. Why can’t we do something other than arrest them, throw them in court, fine them.
why don’t we figure out a way to take away their alcohol?
why don’t we give anyone arrested for DWI a “special” drivers license that says “do not sell alcohol to this person”. and have everyone who sells alcohol check licenses?
And anyone caught buying for these people should be punished by stiff fine etc...
just a thought.
I absolutely agree. My point is that MADD doesn't get this as an organization. Although a sixteen-year-old with a .08 is likely quite dangerous (and illegal at .01), it is statistically the repeat-repeat offender blowing .2 that kills people. However, MADD falsely assumes that lowering the legal limit would reduce fatalities. The number of legal drinking age adults that cause accidents at .08 is about the same as those at .00.
You can take away someone's license, but what is the penalty for driving without one? Once a person is willing to spend a night or two in jail without flinching, there isn't much in our laws to deter them from driving drunk and driving without a license.
