He's right. DWI is intentional and premeditated. Murder, in other words.

And by right, he should have his balls nailed to the floor, given a
butter knife and told he's free to leave anytime he wishes.


Perhaps that's coming soon. I recall when people got away with this sort of
thing and received a sentence that was equivalent to nothing.

When I was living on Long Island, I was acquainted with a bunch of Nassau
County highway cops because the store where I worked did CB radio work for
them. One of the cops was writing a ticket on the LIE one night when some
drunk hit him. Somehow, the guy's bumper snagged the cop's belt, dragging
him for about a mile. The belt finally broke, leaving the cop on the side of
the road. A few CBers followed the drunk off the highway and onto a side
road. For some reason, they didn't kill him.

The funeral was definitely a closed casket affair. The drunk got 6 months of
community service, working in an emergency room, and had his license
revoked.

Some justice.
