Hi,

Doc,Sep 21 2005, 10:22 AM Wrote:Drunk drivers should be publicly executed if they kill somebody. First offense. Don't give them a chance to notch their bumper with a few more innocent people.

And if they paralyse somebody, they should have their own spine crushed. With a heavy blunt object.

Drinking and driving is a 100% preventable crime. It should never happen.

Stupid #$%&ing morons...

You are thinking retribution (and in a very Biblical 'eye for en eye' sense). Try thinking prevention: permanent loss of license for DUI. And that should be all driver's licenses in the 50 states and territories. Stiff jail sentences for driving without a license if the reason you have no license is loss for DUI. And a squad car stationed across the street from every bar and tavern, pulling everyone over as soon as they leave the parking lot. Probable cause? Gee, now just why did those people go to a bar in the first place.

And any crime performed under the influence should be compounded rather than excused by that fact.

The problem with your retribution scheme is that it only cuts in *after* an innocent is harmed. And there is no deterrent in it, because everybody knows that "I can handle my booze and it's the other guy who loses control." The decision to drive when drunk should be taken away before the person gets drunk in the first place and is no longer capable of rationally making that decision.

BTW, places that have such a zero tolerance policy on DUI seem to get along just fine.
