[quote=Anonymous]Some of yall are acting like a drunk driver who kills someone is not intending to kill them? They are using a deadly weapon (a car) in a very dangerous manner so while they most likely didn't start driving thinking "I want to kill someone right now", they are absolutely intentionally doing that. Their judgment is impaired by alcohol, yes, but they are still making that choice. If someone is drunk and starts a fire in a crowded building or gets drunk and shoots a gun into a crowd or gets drunk and does any other homicidal action, they are acting with intent to kill because any of those actions are actions you only do if you accept the risk that it will likely severely injure someone. Whether you're drunk or not. I don't think keeping people in prison for lengthy terms is the answer but if they kill someone yes they do need to be imprisoned for awhile. They need to be punished for their crime and then rehab can be focused on from there. In addition to prison time, revoke their license permanently, require the interlock and breathalyzers on all vehicles they may have access to, force them into rehab, have officers drop in on them at random for tox screens, put a billboard up with their face on it and info about their drunk driving record. I'm only 1/2 joking about those last 2 things. I know nothing is fool proof, but it seems that would work better to stop them re-offending than other measures.[/quote]
