mark modaressi thread
you guys should definitely keep that thread open. i lost my sister to a drunk driver. Showing the loss of his life and how it affected the community wether it be close friends or people on a forum may help when it comes to the court preceding more than you think, especially during sentencimg. i know it sounds messed up but when a well, liked, respected, loved one of a community gets killed the sentencing can be more harsh than if it weresome crackhead bum who died. this is very important when it comes to drunk driving cases. people still seem to think of it as "just an accident" drunk person and a car is = drunk person with gun, both can kill just the same
RIP mark
thanks

With all due respect..... NO ONE deserves to die, not even a hobo/crack head. Let alone by a drunk.
While a lot of people did not know Mark ( myself being one ), the thread did make awareness of the results of drinking and driving.
Remember, it may not be your loved one that you hit, but it is somebody's.
Since I do not drink at all, I am always the designated.
Keep em safe and on the roads folks.

Bingo!!
As I will say a million times over there is NEVER a reason to drink and drive. You choose to drink. And you choose to drive. It should not be tolerated in any shape or form and people getting a slap on the wrist is what's perpetuating the cycle.
Start hitting drunk drivers hardcore with jail time and license revocation and you'll see it start happening less.

we dont need to over populate the already over crowed prison system with drunk drivers...and taking a license away ist going to stop people from driving.
with all do respect, i to have lost a friend in a drunk accident, since the birth of the automobile there has been and always will be drunks driving cars.
the only think you can do is make sure you dont do it or your friends dont do it....cause Johny Law cant stop them.

I don't know if this is an American thing or southern but I know so many people that drive drunk and when I ask why they give me an aw shucks look or response....its really upsetting.....seriously I think everyone I know has driven drunk...and these are people from all walks of life, family people, professionals, lazy asses, students....people who have lost loved ones to dunk drivers.....its crazy.
It makes me so mad esp. when they start laughing about it. That $#!t is not cool.
I lost a family member to a senseless crime like drunk driving earlier this year.....No words.

I think a lifetime ban is too much. However, I think the first offense should be a minimum of 1 year without a license. If you get caught a second time your license gets revoked for another year plus you get a week or two in jail, no matter what. If you do it a third time you get your license revoked for a couple of years and you get at least a month in jail, no matter what.
The bottom line is that no matter how drunk someone is they are still making a decision to drive. The people on here who are saying that "the alcohol made them do it" are the ones who probably drive with too much alcohol in their system.
