I find these comments incredible. The only reason people aren't more outraged is because he didn't hurt anyone but himself, and probably only financially, at that. If he had hurt someone, you think your tunes might change? The line between driving drunk and driving drunk and killing someone is very thin. My god, he ran a stop sign in an SUV. Would it still be this "youth and carefree" excuse you folks are using if someone had been hurt?
We had two local teenagers die locally from drunk driving recently. Guess that was just a mistake and a speed bump on the road of life. This isn't an "experience", this is a crime.
Why don't you ask MADD how they feel about first time offenders for DUI. They might not consider it a mistake, especially if they've buried a child.
