DUIs have always been treated like misdemeanors
Sad but true. My uncle was hit and killed by a drunk driver, 2 of his friends in the car also died and the other one was paralyzed from the waist down. Guy blew over 3 times the legal limit and it was his 6th or 7th dui. He served about 10 years on it, despite killing 3 well known and liked locals (my uncle was a highschool teacher and youth sports coach, standup guy and VERY involved in the community) and ruining another's life. fukk people who drive drunk, you're not just endangering yourself. I've done a lot of dumb shyt in my life; drugs, women, felonies, fights, etc. But the ONE thing I've never done is gotten behind the wheel when I was drunk.
Sorry for the rant, this shyt just hits close to home for me.
