Drunk drivers who survive the accidents they cause should be tried for attempted murder and if convicted they should be executed.

agree on point one.
not so much on point two.

I don't think it should be considered manslaughter when it was not an accident for you to get in a car while drunk.

Drunk driving should actually be considered murder or attempted murder depending on if the victims die. There is NO reason to do it, and it's NOT an accident. Why are people so hard headed? There's TONS of propaganda about "don't drink and drive" and all that, and people STILL do it. Those are the same type of people that open viruses on their computer despite being told not to.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't believe you get charged with murder unless you actually intend to kill a person. Though it's egregious neglect, I believe this falls under vehicular manslaughter if that were to happen.

Either way, throw them in and throw away the key.

Wouldn't be attempted murder, no intent. However I would argue that everyone guilty of attempted murder or murder should be executed.

Killing people in society is not ok, and you should thus be removed.

Laws can be changed.

Seriously, if causing an accident while driving under the influence was attempted murder and causing a death while driving under the influence was murder, I think drunk driving would probably be almost (note: I said "almost") eliminated within one generation.

my friend told me that his dad used to drive down to the shore with a six pack or a bottle of rum. i found that really negligent and frankly disgusting. I drive down to the shore all the time, hearing that shit makes me think of how many other ppl are like that dude's dad and don't give a flying fuck about anyone else. freakin scum of the earth!
