My friend's mom got run over recently. The guy had the alcohol percentage that indicated he'd don't at least ten shots of hard liquor in an hour and he was going well over the speed limit. He got her so hard it crumpled the front of his truck.

But in Cali, since it's a first time offence, he's getting like, a thousand dollar fine. The cremation is going to cost more.

I know this is stupid, but I'd argue any accident while drunk is premeditated murder. You knowingly got drunk. You knowingly got behind the wheel of a ton of metal and aimed it at someone. Maybe the person wasn't chosen specifically, but your other actions are those of someone aiming to kill and preparing to do so in advance. You should be put away for the rest of your life.

And driving under the influence is attempted murder. Who gives a shit if you didn't manage to hit anyone? You still tried to kill them, you cunt.
