    There are also people who have lost too many family members or friends, and have lost all empathy for others who would get behind the wheel while smashed.

    But that’s cool, go off about how they aren’t allowed to feel comfort from seeing someone so reckless as to risk the lives of others for the privilege of driving around while smashed get their existence wiped instead.

    Maybe before coining them as a monster, try to figure out how much pain and loss it takes for most people to reach such a point.

      Somebody gets it.

      Honestly I haven’t personally lost anyone to this specific thing, but I know plenty that have, and even one I don’t know are heartbreaking enough to feel this way.

      And given that there is never an excuse or reason they do it, I have zero sympathy for them. Nobody cries when a pedophile out murderer dies. So got the same reason, this isn’t sad.

      At least not directly. I feel bad for their family and friends, but I’m totally ok with people getting what they deserve. And yes, driving drunk always means you deserve it. Unless there’s a gun on you, you always deserve it.

      Especially in this case where he didn’t hit an innocent. That would be a reason to be sad.
