Everyone deserves a 2nd chance but how after so many arrests can someone not learn to stop fucking about?

I mean, if a guy goes outside and starts firing a gun off wildly 9 times, should he not get severe punishment? I see drunk driving as not much different. These people are obvious dangers to themselves and innocent people around them and they must be kept locked up.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


It's a big problem with many people in general, sadly. So many think it's not a big deal including our law enforcement and the courts. This situation here is rare.

Move your punishments up one offense and add a 6 month driving ban for first offense and I'm good. I want a light tolerance for first time offenders but after that it should be a heavy hand.

My right hand is permanently crippled from a drunk driver last year, and fuck this guy, just so we're clear, but life seems excessive.

I guess I need more context to know why that was appropriate.

On the one hand, it's an incredibly dangerous and reckless activity, and I have zero zero zero love for drunk drivers.

On the other hand, addiction is a horrible things, and I never like it when people are locked up forever for a crime that by itself doesn't justify that, even if I hate the crime and they've done it a lot.

Context is it's his 9th DWI

It's Texas so the Jury gets to decide his sentence, they decided on life.

In most states it's highly unlikely that a judge would have done the same.

He'll be up for Parole in 15 years but he's 62. So he'll be 77 years old if he even makes to his parole hearing

Also imperative to remember, with that kind of history, the dude was probably drunk every time he got behind the wheel. He just got caught 9 times. But he's a serious public safety risk.

He wasn't. There really isn't anything stopping anyone from hopping in a vehicle and driving until they get pulled over.

Can't feel bad for him at all, he quite literally fucked around and found out. Even if no one was harmed, that's irrelevant, He poses a significant danger to the community and himself. if someone goes around firing a gun randomly in public you don't say "Well he didn't kill anyone" as a defense for minimal punishment lol

So, it's not just a DWI then. And yes, there is. In several states, people who get more than one DWI have a breathalyzer installed in their car and the car won't start unless they can pass it. Of course, you can have someone else do it for you but then that's another law you broke as well as the person who did it for you. Also, if he was driving under the influence without a valid license, how is he not already serving time? Like, did he do these in between serving time for the other ones? Is this like a thing where he goes to prison for five years, gets out, does this, goes back for five years then repeats?

Put him in jail for a few years. He obviously doesnt take the risk seriously or care about other people but that doesnt justify life.

9 is an absolutely staggering amount. It should never even got to this point so I think a life sentence is fair.

Drunk driving is an incredibly stupid, dangerous and selfish thing to do. Get caught once, and provided no one is hurt, I think you should not have your whole life completely destroyed, but like you should have an interlock installed and you should have mandated substance abuse counciling and a one year ban on the consumption of alcohol, with random screenings to see if you violated it. Also have mandated substance abuse counseling. Essentially try to treat the cause.

Your second DUI? Fucking throw the book at them. Jail time, heavy fines and a lengthy license suspension. You got your chance to make your selfishness not completely destroy your life. The system tried to help rehabilitate you instead of straight ruining you. And you threw it away.

Also I basically think all cars should have mandated interlocks. Yes there are ways around them, but they would dramatically reduce "accidental" DUIs by taking the judgment aspect out of the occasion. No more "are you okay to drive?"

Definitely the kind of offense that should be 3 strikes and you're out. The first two strikes shouldn't be slaps on the wrist either.

I echo how severe getting a 9th DUI is... but life sentence? It's on par with serial/spree killings punishments.

I guess it's because it doesn't look like he's ever going to stop doing it, even with a lifetime revoked license, but I'd send him to prison for like three years first + addiction treatment.

If you watch Bruces video on the situation, the reason the jury gave him life was because he basically showed no remorse and claimed that he was unlucky. Fair, next.

Speaking of Bruce, his channel is excellent. Highly recommend if youre into law, and/or rap music. Him and his son put in mad work.

Drunk driving should be a 3 strike thing.

Strike 1, 1 year and 5 year suspended license

Strike 2, 5 years and 10 year suspension.

Strike 3, life. No parole.
