If you want to commit murder - just go to Kansas. Toss premeditation into the mix and a firearm and you might be awarded a full year in jail and, gasp, a touch more community service.
After having removed a small child from a car, dead, killed by a drunk who was so inebriated that he didn't even KNOW he'd been in an accident . . . one tends to get a bit prejudice.
Drunk drivers: a) should be treated VERY, very severely (check out Norway's law); b) in the event of causing injury (or death) be charged with 1st degree assault / battery / attempted murder, or (in the case of death) simply murder.
A year (or two) of that and watch America's issue with drunk driving simply . . . disappear.
