In reading the last few days of the Local News Reports - I see a Multitude of Individuals with 3+, 4+, and 5+ DWI's - still allowed to Drive - - they are a Nuisance and Danger to Society and yet our Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys, and Jurors, keep letting them - back behind the wheel -
We have to Elect Politicians, Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys, and Appoint Jurors - Who are Tough on Crime - We just cannot keep putting our Heads in the Sand - and Hoping that these Alcoholics - Learn their Lesson - - Which they Won't...
These Individuals have been given Multiple Times to Get their Lives together - - Yet here they are again - How many Times have they been Driving Drunk and were not Caught - How many Times have they almost Killed themselves, their Passengers, or Others as they Drove Drunk?
Live is to Precious - To Allow these Individuals to Drive Drunk - to Possible Kill You, Your Family, or Your Friends or Bystanders.
Missouri Drunk Driving Statistics:
According to the latest data available from Responsibility.org, there were 240 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in a single year. Deaths related to driving while intoxicated (DWI) account for 26% of all traffic-related fatalities.
Stop giving them a Slap on the Wrist - Stop giving them Probation - Stop giving them a Get-Out-Of-Jail Free Card - - It is Time to Put these Criminals Behind Bars - Before someone is Killed and their Family has to Mourn another Lost Life...
Stop Feeling Sorry for the Criminals and Start Feeling Sorry for the Victims.
