While I certainly think this guy (who killed Sealy--not KAS) shouldn't ever be driving again and needs serious, serious consequences, I also get more upset about people like those KAS is talking about, and LOVE seeing them punished. An acquaintance of mine got a DUI almost 10 years ago and spent months and thousands of dollars fighting it, not because he wasn't drunk, but because he believed there was a procedural error by the cop in pulling him over. (He lost. Ahahaha.) Then, maybe 5 years ago, the same guy got another DUI, fighting (and losing) again.
Neither time was he drunk enough to be what I'd consider a really serious risk--nothing like someone who could go the wrong way down an interstate highway, like Sealy's killer. But even so, he was a danger. An obvious danger. And to think that, even knowing he is doing something wrong in drunk driving, his attitude was F--- the cops for pulling him over and how could he get out of it...that bothers me. I loved seeing him convicted. Loved it. Because the sense of entitlement some people have is sickening. At least when someone is really, truly down-and-out, I can be sympathetic about their problems. If you're just a smartass, ****-up kid who figures daddy can get you off scot free, I hope they throw the book at you.
