There is absolutely no difference between someone who drinks, drives, and kills someone because of it, and someone who drinks, drives, and gets home perfectly fine. The actions are the same, and only independent variables determine the outcome. To me, there's no difference in what he did, and if he did the same thing and killed a family of four. He wasn't doing anything different on his end, it was just the circumstances that allowed it not to happen.
Have you ever heard of someone dying in a high speed crash? Someone innocent, just a by standard who was going about their normal day until someone who was exceeding the speed limit slammed into them... Maybe a street race gone wrong... crashing into a minivan killing a family..
Have you ever sped, went 1mph over the speed limit.. 5. maybe 25 if you were in a hurry and was on a 45mph back road..Or on that 25mph residential community you knew 35 would be safe and slow enough. By your logic, you are no different than those who have wrecked and cause a death due to speeding. And instead of a simple ticket, you should be punished the exact same as them even though no harm from your action was caused.
