re: Drunk Drivers Are the Scum of the Earth

No victims of drunk drivers deserve it, but when this entire state treats dwi as a laughable "aw shucks" occurrence with light penalties instead of a sign that there's a potential for harm or death in the future - this is what happens. Our state police and politicians see DWI as a source of revenue, not potential for harm. I'm still waiting for the family of a victim killed by multi-dwi offender to sue the city, parish, and state for being so soft on these laws. First DWI should be MANDATORY year jail time with five years suspended license after release with a massive fine to work off as well. I've even thrown the idea out to have a state run prison specifically for DWI offenders where they have to attend mandatory substance abuse counseling every single day during their time - really drill it in their brains what a threat to society they have become and give them the chance to change their lives upon exit.
