Not Good Enough

I was reading a story on CNN news about a 25 year old drunk guy that drove his truck the wrong way down the highway for 2 miles before crashing head on into a wedding limo, killing the driver and decapitating the 7 year old flower girl. He was convicted and sentenced to 25 years. 25 years? That's it? Defense said that he was just a drunk kid that got lost on his way home. Uhmmmm...no. You see, he chose to drink all those drinks. He chose to get drunk as hell. Then he CHOSE to get behind the wheel and drive. For those choices that he made, someone is now without their father and someone is now without their 7 year old daughter. The girl's mother held her daughter's decapitated head in her hands as she screamed after the accident. 25 years? That's not good enough. In fact, no amount of time is good enough. If it were my daughter that was killed like that by that guy, the only thing that would make me start to feel better would be to be able to beat that guy's ass to death with my bare hands. Nothing else would feel like he got what he deserved.
