Courts are too soft on drunk drivers
This weekend here in the Milwaukee area we had another fatal car crash caused by a drunk driver. A 38 year old woman who was 7 months pregnant and her 10 year old daughter were killed in the crash. The person that hit them had recently lost his license to drive after being convicted of drunk driving for the 3rd time. Unfortunately this is not the first time we have heard about someone who should not be on the road hurting someone else. It is time that the courts wake up and treat drunk driving like the serious offsense it is. Too often they treat it like some kind of disease that the person has to get treatment for and there are no really serious penalties. If this person would have been locked up like they should have been then these lives would not have been lost. Drunk driving is a real problem and we have to start treating it as such. If someone is convicted of drunk driving they should be going to jail and not just getting a slap on the wrist like taking their license away. We know they are going to drive anyway and will probably drink anyway too.
