[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite a few supporters for Parisa refusing to allow themselves to be intimidated by the ugly mob:

Fortunately some people still believe in the rule of law. [/quote]

I do too. So, the next time a "teen" drunk driver hits someone, I hope it's not me but you.[/quote]

Now we’ve gone beyond hints of violence by the vigilantes. [/quote]

That’s absurd.  Hoping that the consequences of soft-of-crime policies fall on the supporters of those policies, rather than the public at large, is just sensible.  [/quote]

PP is wishing harm on the other PP. Disgusting.

Those of us who don’t support these slap on the wrist consequences for a dangerous driver simply wish there was a way to opt ourselves out of the risk of being on the road with him in the near(ish) future. If you’re willing to accept the risk of sharing the road with a repeat DUI offenders (before the age of 18 at that) then you assume the risk. But personally I’d rather see people like this spend a decade in prison and lose their license for longer, if not life. The safety of innocent people, including young people with their lives ahead of them like Braylon, is of much greater importance than the freedom/privilege to drive of someone who has made repeated poor choices.

And it’s not just this driver. It’s all the recidivist DUI offenders/drivers who engage in highly reckless behavior (like speeding 100 mph) that I feel this way about.

As a liberal, I find it really strange how it’s acceptable (encouraged even) to want strict regulation of guns and greater consequences to keep them out of the hands of criminals. But put a criminal behind the wheel of a car, which can also cause death and maiming, and we’re all about giving them multiple chances? Sorry, but I have no empathy toward people who make choices that senselessly kill others. [/quote]

I'm all for tougher penalties for DUIs/speeding.

It's still disgusting to wish harm on someone else.

I wasn’t the PP who posted that but I interpreted it as the person wishing that *if* he hurts someone again, it happens to someone who supports letting the driver back out on the road with little consequence because they seem ok with this risk. It seems unfair to have it happen to someone who does not even want him to be out on the road at all. I don’t think they actually want the driver to hurt anyone else because they’d rather he be behind bars.

Personally I hope zero people are killed by drunk drivers this year, but I especially hope it doesn’t happen to anyone who doesn’t even want to be on the road with these hazardous criminals. Whoever supports this type of joke of a sentencing should be the ones to assume all risk with setting him free, but unfortunately that is not how the world works and so those supporting this type of light sentencing are putting the community at risk. It’s truly unfair. [/quote]

And I’ll add that I also wish all gun crimes would only he committed again those who support lax gun laws. Well my first preference would be better gun control. But since a bunch of second amendment worshipping morons are trying to drag us all down, I’d rather they be the ones to suffer the consequence of their own idiotic views. Do you consider that “wishing harm on them”? [/quote]

Yes. Also disgusting.

You should have stuck with "I hope zero people are killed".
