It's too bad the person who makes the irresponsible mistake of driving drunk once in his life is thrown into the same category as the habitual drunk driver when an accident happens, but how do you sort that out? Maybe a good normally responsible person is having an extra bad day with stress at work or at home and drowns his sorrows at the bar and is so lost in his momentary depression he has a weak moment and gets in his car, killing someone on the way home. Should he be executed, leaving behind a wife and kids and grieving parents? The innocent person who is killed leaves behind a grieving family and possibly financial hardship for years. Maybe the young children will have emotional and social problem because of this.
I constantly read in the paper stories about the third time drunken driver being arrested without a license or insurance. Obviously taking away his license and throwing him in jail for a few days hasn't protected us much. The habitual drunk usui've neally isn't a vicious mean hearted criminal brainwashed by some radical group. The drunk is not cocking that gun (car) and purposely pointing it at a crowd and pulling the trigger. A person who points the gun at the crowd has control of that gun. A drunk who drives his car into a crowd does not have control of that car because he does not have control of his brain. I don't know how we can get justice by punishing after the fact. How does John M get justice for the heartbreaking grief he is going through? It doesn't seem like severe punishment is slowing the instances of drunken driving.
I don't know if this is a fair comparison or not, but how do Marilyn and I get fair justice against the irresponsible surgeon who took our daughter and orphaned three little girls? I've never shared with you the heartbreak and problems those girls have been through and I never will but it's very troubling. If our daughter would have been killed by a drunk driver the consequences would have been the same so I can say there is some correlation between the two. We found out the medical profession can't weed out every irresponsible doctor and I would like to believe the medical profession has more control over it's brethren than we have over those among us who drink. Better quit. I hope I don't get this good post poofed.
