[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe because what’s the point in putting someone in jail for more years. 3.5 years is prison. Not jail. Huge difference. Why ruin two families lives? [/quote]

So if a drunk driver mows down a car with your spouse and kids inside, and kills your entire family leaving you a widower with no children, you will feel okay with the driver spending 3.5 years in prison and then going on with their life? While you suffer the rest of yours? [/quote]

I mean, they will suffer as well knowing what they did. People who hit people with their cars don't skip happily off into the sunset after knowing they killed someone. This is obviously just a punitive measure, it doesn't serve anyone. Would it actually make you feel better to run them over with a car? Hint: it wouldn't. [/quote]

Do you feel the same about all violent crimes?[/quote]

There is a difference between intentional violence and accidental violence. Our sentencing reflects that. [/quote]
What violence is an accident? Drinking and driving? 
Not an accident.[/quote]

30 years ago, sure, I’d buy the idea that someone doesn’t understand the repercussions of DUI. Now, not so much, especially in an age where getting a ride is pretty much as easy as a few clicks on your phone.[/quote]
