That's absurd and not justice. In no way is that sentence proportional to the crime...

In what way?? I mean death penalty is too stiff.

Have you ever known anyone killed by a drunk driver??

I agree if it was a first offense it would be too much, but by the 8th time, he got what he deserved.

I agree completely. Although DUI is stupid behavior and should not be tolerated, there's no way to justify a sentence usually applied to murderers if no harm was done to anyone, even it it was his 100th offense. This reeks of 'Minority Report' and should never happen in a free society.

[wardaddy]

I agree with you. Life for a DWI is crazy. 8th or not..

[edcoil]

Sounds like a white guy - no minority would get that sentence.

You are right, Mike. They should wait until he has killed someone, or better yet a whole family!

[wideawake]

He's 59 years old.

They should have given him 20 years.

That would have been a completely just punishment for his recidivism, and it would have effectively been a life sentence anyway.

Drunk drivers kill innocent people. It is no different than stepping out in the street with a loaded gun and firing at random. He should have been sentenced to 10 years for the second offense, 20 years for the 3rd and life for the fourth. My family is out on those streets and I would like them home safe at the end of teh day.

That's absurd and not justice. In no way is that sentence proportional to the crime... Really? This guy has made it clear that he will drive drunk as long as he is living as a free man. That is a fact. How do you propose that he be kept off the roads? It cannot be any system that requires any degree of honor or trust from this man, because he has no honor and is not trustworthy. He is arrogant, and selfish and drunk. He does not value human life at all, and is willing to put the rest of humanity in danger by driving drunk repeatedly. So, what is your solution to keeping him off the road?

[Little Ray]

So we have to wait for him to kill someone, eh?

[Little Ray]

He can’t have a license. He’s probably lost his car at least once. He’s not going to stop. What do you suggest? Maybe the cops should beat the sh*t out him every time they catch him driving? Can we execute him after he’s killed somebody?

Driving drunk with not lights on. This guy should not be on the streets. Three strikes and your out. Or are you against the three-strike rule?

Lucky this time he had an accident with another drunk driver. Took two drunks off the road with hurting innocents. I wonder what type of wrecks he had for his previous two felony convictions.
