I can't understand from that story what happened...? 2 kids attached a drunk driver?

 

I read it as him being on foot but they have used the drink drive limit to give an idea of how drunk he was.

Welcome to the world we appear to live in, sucks huh? And I do mean that sadly, it is really sad reflection on it. I did notice there was no comments from the parents on their children's actions. What sort of life do kids lead that lets them believe this is acceptable behaviour?

But still, what relevance is drink/drive limit here? So he'd drunk 4 or 5 bottles of stella - go him! :rolleyes:

Corporal punishment needs to be brought back:(

 

I like your thinking... and yes that is a damn good idea. A lashing in the public square, call it barbaric if you wish, but I'm willing to bet the public humilation would serve as a damn good deterent. Plus the council could earn money from ticket sales :p

As has alread been said, it is an indicator to put it into terms people understand.

 

Had they just said "he had consumed XXmg blood/alcohol level" it wouldn't mean shit to anyone.

 

 

It's like saying "that car has the same torque as the shelby 500" you don't know the numbers exactly but it gives the perspective.

 

I don't see why it bothers you

Its a mathimatical fact that the death penalty DOES decrease crime. Say you have 10 criminals in a room you blow one of those mofo's away (maybe an AK is used??) Anyway that has just decreased crime by 10%.

 

I say chuck them on a island with Ant & Dec "I'm a sick twisted bastard.....watch me eat my mate to stay alive". Think it would get more viewings
