I have been stopped several times on the way home by the multitask force to stop drunk drivers. I do not know other locations they sit at around the county, but I am grateful for the one on a well traveled road. Officers were making arrests each time my wife and I were stopped, a job well done by the combined police forces of our communities. This last time however,ralph lauren, I thanked them for doing a great job,moncler, but then I added a value I have spearheaded since the early 70's. To my surprise he,giubbotti moncler, and other officers agreed, and I decided to share this view with you.

         The state claims a motor vehicle is a dangerous weapon. Actually all states in the continental U.S. have done so, therefore it stands to reason: if a motor vehicle is a dangerous weapon, and a drunk driver operates one, then any crime committed during that operation, becomes a class One, or ?' felony,beats by dre, depending upon the State you are familiar with. Where is the logic?

         Drinking is not a crime. Driving while intoxicated however is premeditated. They choose to drive period, there is no accident in drinking while driving. Getting in the drivers seat after you "had one or a dozen" does not matter. Drinking booze of any kind before or during driving is premeditated. Drunk Drivers kill, they destroy families, they cost the taxpayers money, they cause property damage in the billions in the United States.

         Although every so often the Governor tells us the laws are more strict concerning drunk drivers, and no doubt there have been minute laws passed, the fact remains that we are in the top ten nationally for drunk drivers. We might not be able to prohibit alcohol, but we can elect sober congressmen and senators, and get laws passed that fit the crime. While people are dying, or maimed for life, we are attacking businesses and wait-persons for serving it, instead of attacking the drunk driver themselves.

         I'm not saying they shouldn't pay part of the damages.. and this might sound logical to you,louboutin pas cher, and great for drinking representatives, but not to most of us. When a person has been drinking and operates a motor vehicle it is premeditated. Therefore if someone dies, it always has, and should be,casque dr dre, murder one. He or she knowingly drinks,polo ralph lauren, purposely gets in a vehicle,casque beats, and starts a deadly weapon and therefore anything that happens in that commission is either attempted murder or murder one if anyone is hurt or killed. That my friends is no accident, it is called premeditated. It's time we elected sober representatives to make sure the right people are tried and convicted, not the businesses that serve them.

         It doesn't matter how bad they feel after the death of someone else, or how long they have to live with it, judges should not be lenient on this issue, it is time for putting things right in America. A drunk driver who kills someone, is murder one, a drunk driver that maims someone,christian louboutin, or causes them any hospital visit should be attempted murder and prosecuted as such. Property damage should be paid by the drunk driver and insurance companies should be reimbursed,piumini moncler, forcefully with no ability for either to file bankruptcy on it. It must be paid even if funds from spending prison time are used to pay it, and only after that, in cases where the driver had no insurance, go after the businesses and wait people.

         Let's put the drunk driver back where he belongs, and begin charging them with destruction of property over $1000, that is a felony, theft of property (taking away the rights of others use of their property over $1000) another felony, Attempted murder if anyone is injured, murder one if anyone is killed. It's time to put it back on the drunk where the fault lies. Things may not change, surely not in time to save another life, but it is the best hope we have. The police officers, and Highway patrolmen I have spoken to have overwhelmingly agreed with this outlook, and I encourage those that do agree to write.

Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon said the hostages were shot - three in the head and one in the back. Among them was the longest-held captive, Sergeant Major Jose Libio Martinez, who was seized by the rebels almost 14 years ago. A fifth hostage ran into the woods and was rescued by soldiers. Human Rights Watch said in a statement Monday the killings constitute a war crime, and show the guerrilla group's "blatant disregard for human life." A funeral for the four men was held Tuesday at the national cathedral in the capital, Bogota.
