Then why they don't do it here? A guy just went to jail recently here for four years, will most likely be released after serving 18 months, for killing a cop with his truck while drunk: •

Who makes the laws and who gave the sentences? Why are they allowing people to drink and drive and kill with such little sentences?
That guy wasn't the first time he was drunk and driving. He had good lawyers, plus a good reason; he was a depressed. Ok, but that's not a reason to kill other people, no?
The other day a military man killed a person while driving drunk:

I don't know if you guys watch the news occasionally sometimes, but this just happened very recently, like yesterday!
Maybe the army has special rights, maybe powerful people have rights above the law, maybe only the real scumbags, poor people, drunk addicts go to jail for few years? I can give you thousands of links where people driving drunk and killing people don't even go to jail, or few months or few years @ most.
Why is that? Just google it, you'll see.
The marine guy, guess what the penalty he'll get?
So, who is the person or the group of people who decide that driving while intoxicated and causing death deserves such small sentences?
Your young 11-year old daughter get killed by a drunk driver, who happened to be an important political figure; he pays a fine, loses his driver's licence for six months, and go to jail for 30 days! We have fatal flaws in our laws. They protect the drunk drivers, and they punish the innocent victims for life.
I mean this is happening every single day in our roads, people drunk and causing fatal accidents.
Some they don''t even go to jail, others just for few months, or few years @ most.
Are we having not enough jails or are we afraid to pay taxes for their imprisonment?
Who was the person making the laws? Who was the people electing him/her? Who control the power to decide what is appropriate and not?
If you drink and drive but without causing an accident, should you pay a fine and lose your job, or go to jail and stay there?
If you drink and drive and cause someone to die, should you lose your driving licence for five years or ten years and perhaps go to jail for two years?
Of course I agree that there should be zero tolerance. Maybe one day someone will wake up before it's too late?
