Logic, logic, logic, use logic, you can't use logic, but I can use logic because I logic am smarter logic than you logic. Try to logic more logic before you logic another logic post.. logic..

I can't see the logic in that arguement...

Oh well, everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has poor judgment from time to time. If this was your first offense, hopefully you learned your lesson.

If not, hopefully you get what's coming to you.

And some of the people in this thread need to chill. You know nothing other than he had a DUI and you're calling for blood.

There ARE mitigating factors. Like first offense, how high he blew and so on. To treat him like he's a habitual DUI offender who blew twice the legal limit is absurd.

First time offenders can kill just as much as a repeat offender...there is no excuse for drink driving....


Simply don't do it.

Yes, we know. Again, EVERYONE on this board will make stupid irresponsible mistakes at least once in their lives. I guarantee it.

This is why the penalties for first offenders are lower than for second timers and habitual offenders.

Should he be punished? Yes. Should you and the others on this forum stand in judgement of him and call for his blood? No. Chill the fsck out. He's getting punished already and hopefully he's learned his lesson.

To be honest, I give him credit for having the balls to post about it here. Any long time poster would know better.

the OP was just lucky he only got caught...and we all hope he has learned his lesson and won't do it again...sadly however many people don't...and others pay for it in the end.
