I hope a drunk driver kills you and your family then.

Premise: Belief in a Deity leads to the following good results.
Premise: Rejection of a Deity leads to the following bad results.
Therefore, you should believe in a deity.

The Fallacy of the Consequent



The fact that we desire something to be true gives not the slightest reason to believe it, and the fact that we fear something being true is no reason to think it false

Point is, the laws exist for a reason.

Point is, the laws exist for a reason.

Laws are written and rewritten daily, they're perverted and twisted by prosecutors/judges and lawyers to fit agendas.

Public sentiment, such as you have expressed regarding drunk drivers, contributes drastically to their perversion.

Whether or not you realize it you are being played like a fiddle by the propaganda arm of government.

 

[torchbearer]

Point is, the laws exist for a reason.

Don't advocate for pre-crimes. The very fact that you bought a gun means you could kill someone. With the DWI/DUI logic, you are already guilty because of the potential damage you could cause by buying a gun.

IMHO, you do it 9 times you're a white trash degenerate. And, granted the legal limit should be set higher, but to do it 9 times and hurt people, he is not going to be "corrected" by a correctional facility. He should be locked away with the key thrown away. Preferably, the US prison system should be a series of gulags that produced cheap goods, where murderers and degenerates can be the opposite of a drain on society.

Could this not have been resolved by barring him from having a drivers license?

No, not for sure, he might still drive w/o license while hammered...

Got to lock him up for a while (or take off his hands and legs ...and/or remove both eyes).
That seems about as excessive as just getting locked up for LIFE!

The loss of innocent life at the hands of this guy is even more horrible to imagine.

A few years to dry out while locked up seems more reasonable... He should stop drinking. Maybe it's unlikely he can ever quit. Maybe he's a dangerous driver even while sober. I'd give him a chance to ponder over that for a few years.

Upon release, he gets conditional parole: Any connection between booze and even going near a car with car keys gets him another few years. If that does not work, try a decade or two in prison. Repeat if necessary with three or four decades, etc.

The problem goes away eventually.

Sounds like something China would endorse while they're digging a new graves trench. Jesus, take a Valium.

I don't need a valium, I just think we need a harsher criminal justice system. I'd like to see flogging come back, old school death sentences (gallows), and an efficient prison system that actually deters crime.

Here's one got life for his 3rd DWI;

Thats how it should be.

Revoke license after second. Life in prison after third.

Oh they still drain society....But you'll be glad to know that members of the "Just-Us" department profit handsomely from not just prisons but from the taxpayers they suck their salary from.All profits from prison labor pay stock options to the Just-Us dept shareholders, "society" doesn't see any return what-so-ever..

Seriously though, we have to have some law and order.

What the fuck?

So, if people point out that life in prison for a habitual drunk driver (that, as far as I know never killed anybody) is harsh and indicative of a police state, they should have death wished on their family?

 

[carclinic]

Hey, countries with that have less crime, which means less aggregate cruelty.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Bradley said that in addition to the multiple DWI convictions , Stovall also had a extensive rap sheet for other crimes, including burglary, credit card abuse and supplying alcohol to a minor.

Clearly shows the guy has no respect for other people. The judge did the right thing.

Not seriously, I don't want anyone to get hurt, which is why that guy should be in jail.

No, its his human losertarian right to take a shit on everyone everyday.

 

[paulbot24]

Are you a troll or do you just have a "talent"?

 

[tod evans]

Thats how it should be.

And what other offences should carry life in prison as their sentence?

For most of our countries existence only murder and treason carried so harsh a penalty...

I fear you too may have fallen victim to the propaganda arm of our government..:o

Wow.

We have one of the harshest prison systems in the world.

More people are in prison in the US than any other place in the world.

We execute more people that any other place in the world.

We routinely execute and imprison innocent people.

And you want more of this???
