What is wrong with people that they compare a fair trial that gave their son a light conviction to the lynching of black people in the south? She complained that she would only get to see her son a couple times a week when the families of the little girl and driver never get to see their loved one again.

He should have gotten life,period.No 18 years to life.Especially since this was not the first time he has been arrested for this.That means he could at some time get out and do it again.

Driving drunk IS an intentional act.Any moron knows that if you drive drunk you can kill yourself or someone else.No one poured the alcohol down his throat,he made that decision himself.

While I feel bad for his parents having to live with what their son did,I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.It does not compare at all to a lynching.He was guilty of killing 2 innocent people.

Reply:Oh, please Kasey. It's these excuses that are being made for people that are ruining it for those of us who do the right thing, and wind up getting KILLED. He is a MURDERER! A 6 year old DECAPITATED! A father/husband killed. Families destroyed. Report It
Reply:Because of a selfish jerk who thought it would be interesting to drive drunk the wrong way down The Meadowbrook. Report It
Reply:Ya. it is pretty annoying to have people always playing the old and tired victim card. whether it be calling things "lynchings" or unjustly comparing things to nazis and adolph hitler.
Reply:I live right in the area that the accident happened ... It's hard to see a situation like this from both sides. The young man who was arrested showed lots of remorse for his actions, could you imagine how you would feel if you woke up after a night of drinking, in jail, and somebody had to tell you that you decapitated a little girl, and killed a man ... I think you would be remorseful too. They compared it to a lynching in the south because he was convicted of murder, murder consists more then just killing somebody (that's manslaughter) ... murder is something that has intent, and a thought process behind it. He had no intent to kill anyone ... it was unfortunate he did and he should be punished for it ... but his family knows he's not a cold blooded killer and that must break their hearts.
Reply:I guess your question is "what is wrong with people"? They are grieving and in denial. They don't want to believe their child is capable of an act with such horrible consequences. I imagine they ask themselves every day what they did wrong in raising their child and the answer may be they did nothing wrong. A large component of alcoholism is genetic, but that's not much comfort, is it?
