I don't know if any of you have recently watched the news, but if not, the former Yankees baseball player was recently sentenced in Florida after drunk driving and hitting another car where a woman and her child died. He was sentenced to 6 months jail time and his charge was downgraded to a misdemeanor drunk driving charge. WTF.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened either. And let me tell you, this guy was blistering drunk. They gave him sobriety tests and he couldn't even walk straight. WTF. My bunkie was really infuriated watching the news about this last night. The injustice of the differences of sentencing around the US for the same types of crimes, especially when one is a case of driving drunk whereas another is a case of dozing off at the wheel for a split second being tired but happening to have a BAC just slightly above the legal limit - literally, equivalent to two drinks.
I mean, I honestly have no complaints about my time. It was my friend who died while I was driving. I want to take responsibility no matter what. And prison is nothing in comparison to the emotional hardships of the entire ordeal. Nothing. But all I'm saying is, if I have to sit here X years, why doesn't this guy have to for at least that amount of time? He actually hit and killed two people driving belligerently drunk and you're telling me I'm a convicted felon for the rest of my life and he's not?
