In situations lkie this, the name(s)of the previous judges need to be included in the article. That way their neighbors will know what imbeciles they have living near them.
The fact of the matter is that neither our society nor our legal system has the balls to make and enforce tough decisions. There should be zero tolerance for DUI’s…..period. There’s nothing more dangerous and disgusting than some piece of human garbage slurring his/her speech, driving erratically, and threatening innocent people just because they lack the common sense, good judgment, self-control, and concern for anyone but themselves.
…in a fiery car wreck before the legal system finally steps up and removes this menace from society? Impressive stats, like 11 DUIs, lead me to believe that something else is at play (perhaps the accused has “played the race card,” which is a frequently used ploy here in CA.
But in the final analysis it is we, the people, who step into the voting booths and pull the levers…we’re the ones who elect these “public servants” who allow someone to rack up 11 DUIs. We are supposed to elect people who want to protect us from people like this unrepentant, knuckle-dragging, mook who has a teaspoon of brains and clearly does not value his life or any one else’s. The officals we elect could stop this…but they’re too busy to do their jobs becuase they’re spending their time raising money and campaigning for their re-elections.
Taking a drink and then deciding to operate a hurtling mass of metal is the same as leaving a loaded gun where a child can access it…both negligent and unfortunate choices. But choices they are. And pretty selfish ones at that.
What planet are you people from??? What evidence was there that he was was drinking other than he had ‘done it before’?
Hey; here’s an idea! Let’s all put on some white sheets or brown shirts and hide outside of bars at closing time. When someone who looks like they’ve been drinking gets in their car to drive; we go get them and put an end to that sort of thing.
Everyone needs to quit crying about this guy and start looking at the state’s judicial process. How does a guy with 10 DUI’s even get the opportunity to get his 11th. I blame the State and the lack of punishment. Maybe one day these lenient judges in PA will have to be accountable for their doings. We’ve got 3 strikes your out laws in place for drugs, but this guy is able to get 10 DUI’s????
Stop the whining and exaggeration about the Nazis. Every society is held together by a code of conduct. When someone deviates from that conduct and endangers others, there should be a swift, and substantive response. We keep ***** footing around with chronic drunks and deviants. That’s what brings a society down.
I wish someone would have removed my father’s license from him. He was a constant drink and drive person. He seemed to drink even more when he fell asleep drinking and driving one night, went off the road and his younger brother was killed. Drunks, of course, are just harmless and fun loving good guys.
One reason we don’t crack down on DUIs is because most people refuse to look at alcohol as what it is – a drug. A socially acceptable drug, but a drug nonetheless.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a prude and think all drugs should be legal even though I don’t partake, but casting alcohol in a different light from other drugs leads to wimpy laws.
I’m with Dread – throw a big book at offenders. I’m also with Nick – 3 strikes and you’re out.

Even easier and cheaper: shoot them on site. If they’re going to endanger other people’s lives, then remove the imminent danger.

It has nothing to do with Rendell. I don’t recall him seeking to reduce penalties for DUI or blocking attempts to strengthen DUI laws.
