Mother furious that drunk driver that killed her son...

...gets no jail time, just a sentence of 10 years probation.

That piece of shit deserves to be force fed anthrax and broken glass. The court system is stupid.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Now consider the 17 year old kid who got 10 years in prison for having consensual oral sex with his 15 year old girlfriend.

yup.

an acquaintance of mine (went to school/had band with him) was killed by an uninsured drunk driver..guy got 2 years/




I wouldn't mind setting up a government funded secret 'vigilante' group to go around "making these people become missing"...since our justice system is pretty jacked & it appears that the people in office are, no bright

That's exactly what I was thinking.  What a crock of crap.

I find it unbelievable that people still drive drunk.  Also, that people are stupid enough to get in a car (or trunk) when somebody's driving drunk. 

Manitoba has the toughest drunk-driving laws around.  You get something like 2 years in jail if you're caught drinking and driving.  If you kill somebody, you're going to be spending the better part of your life in jail.

Haha. I thought (when I read the preview on the main page) "mother furious" was censored version of "mother fucker."

yeah.
You can always file a civil suit.

Just has to hope that the driver had insurance...:(
...or enough crap that she can take some of it away from him (unlikely if he doesnt have insurance)

Why, will the insurance bring back her son?

Then who cares.

If it was my kid, I wouldn't give a shit about getting money.  What's done is done, and nothing will bring him back.

of course.
but that $200k or so might help them out financially. 


after my jeep accident I'm sure my parents were just glad I was alive, but the money we got from the insurance settlement really helped out.

I'm pretty sure you'd take the money if you were put in the situation. 

Also, such a tragedy would likely put one into a severe depression, preventing him/her from being able to work and therefore preventing him/her from earning money that he/she ordinarily would have earned.  Therefore it makes sense that this person should receive financial assistance, and that there is nothing insensible about asking for it.

It's not a question of whether the money will bring back her son.  That argument applied to justice is totally fallacious.  Should the driver not be imprisoned because that wouldn't bring back the victim? There are other things to consider.
