These People Must Die

I was driving home from dropping my youngest at nursery school listening to the radio when I heard this advert for this Impaired Driving help. They are like XCopper and the like; helping to get you off charges or out of tickets or at least reduce fines and/or sentences. Look, if you get nailed for impaired you deserve whats coming to you. I can't believe these freaks are allowed to run this type of company. There was a case last fall in these parts where a young woman was hit by a drunk driver on the highway outside of town. The guy was so drunk he didn't realize he had hit her. The mother called the police that evening about her missing daughter, but they had no luck in finding her and had to wait to file for a missing person for the required time. The mother knew the route her daughter would have taken so she drove slowly along the shoulder of the road. About 5km down the road she saw a shoe laying on the shoulder. She stopped to investigate and saw it was the same type her daughter wore. She then looked in the field nearby and found her daughter. She had bled to death. If the drunk would have realized what he had done he might have been able to save her. Now tell me you can condone such a program. Every time a drunk gets behind the wheel it should be classified as attempted manslaughter or at the very least attempted assault with a weapon to cause bodily harm.
