[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3253074, member: 1132"] You're misreading me. There is a wide range of crimes and penalties for the unlawful taking of a life. Your tie-rod falls off or you don't see a stop sign and you crash into another car, causing a fatality, shouldn't carry the same penalty as premeditated first degree murder. Repeatedly driving under the influence as a middle aged person and doing so while having outstanding warrants for same, is far more willful and intentional than a pure accident. Still less than 1st degree murder, but WAY more than malfunctioning equipment or failure to yield. Forgiveness is not a function of the law or justice. Their function is to mete out punishment. Forgiveness is the exclusive purview of the victim and/or their loved ones, not the system. In this case, 4 years is nowhere near enough. [/QUOTE]
