Wouldn't there be far fewer fatalities caused by drunk drivers if fewer people drove and more people got around by bicycle, as they do in Copenhagen? Check this out:

Now I ask you: when was the last time a drunk bicyclist ever killed anyone? Not only would there be fewer fatalities, but there would also be less air pollution, less global warming, more conservation of oil for future generations, etc.

Herman, have you ever bicycled to Maryland from Ohio?
Newsflash - the USA isn't a small tightly packed country like Denmark with old cities like Copenhagen that were built about a thousand years before motorized traffic.

Herman - Wouldn't there be far fewer asinine off topic comments caused by [semi]illiterates if the blogoshpere were equipped with a Maxwell Smart type of Cone of Silence?

Herman,
You are incredibly insensitive, and crude.
The family was traveling long distance
in extreme winter weather.
You ought hang your head in shame, if you
have any.

I guess this poster (Herman) would back pack a 6
month old baby in such weather long distance,
with no compunction

A similar accident happened over in NJ this week. Drunk with open container went wrong way down I-95, and slammed head-on into a van filled with family members coming home from ski trip. Several family members killed.

Drunk won't get lethal injection because

1) Corzine, Codey & gang (with help from NJ RINOS) outlawed capital punishment this month and

2) Drunk killed himself, so divine justice will take over.

Ride your bicycle on this.

Well, there's a remedy for that in Ohio. It's called lethal injection.

Herman, it is not your place nor your
position of authority to allow when or
not when a trip is necessary. The people
of this country do not live in Ussr type
gulags.
Therefore you are demoted on this
thread for hijacking it with your bicycle.
Stay on topic.

yeah Herman - I bet the world will be a whole lot better place when you're the one deciding which trips are neccessary and which one's aren't.

This is why nobody really likes like left. Screw you and the rest of the left if you think anybody really cares what you think is neccessary.

If you're so freaking concerned about which trips are neccessary and which trips aren't, you can damn well start demanding that your "green-leaning" politician friends start accounting for the enormously wasteful things that they're doing (if they meant what they said, this cound have been done entirely by teleconference, for example or this... Nobody reasonable wants to go to a system like they had in the soviet union and have "royalty" tell them where they can go and what they can do - oh, except the party members who lived like royalty.

This story is about a drunk driver. We don't need or want a nanny state taking away every right that we have, just because someone might abuse it - when people break the law, they need to go to jail - for a very very long time - so that there is incentive not to break the law. We don't want to live in a giant Ball pit

I believe Anon is correct: the death penalty is likely off the table. However, if they give him the maximum for each death and injury, to be served consecutively, he might never get out to do it again.

Cheese and rice, Hermie, buy a vowel! :p

Hmm! So Herman has been disenvoweled! Funny! Rhymes with what should happen to that drunk driver! (IMHO)

Herman... Beelzebub's comic foil!

Another drunk driving story from Casper,WY. I understand the victim is still alive this AM but in critical condition. He was torn open in the ordeal and his internal organs were exposed. If he lives, it can only be attributed to the snow-pack on the streets.

A Casper man facing felony charges of driving under the influence and aggravated assault will make his initial appearance in court today, after he hit a pedestrian with his SUV, dragging the vicitim for 1.1 miles under the vehicle.

The suspect struck the man after leaving the Sandbar Lounge around 2 a.m. Sunday morning. Passengers in the driver's GM Yukon said they told the man to stop after he hit the victim.

Intial appearances begin at 2 p.m. today at Natrona County Circuit Court.

Give him life in prison i say 100 years for each person he killed and not one drop of liqure to him at all

Its a losing battle to keep drunks off the road. You will see a number of folks pushing bicycles up hills around here that are doing so ONLY because their vehicles were impounded after their last DUI and they don't have any friends stupid enough to loan them their keys.

Jail time forever is a waste of our tax money unless the suckers are doing useful work on a chain gang.
