Go Figure

Go figure, another drunk driver killed someone. Kevin O'Hagan has been charged and convicted of 5 other DUI's in the past. Sunday morning, Kevin was pulled over for swerving. When the police officer asked him for his license, O'Hagan spead off, then hit another car head on. The victim was a preacher going home from participating in a local church's fall harvest hayride, where he played Jesus. His wife, being the nice person she is commented saying her husband would not want ill will felt toward O'Hagan, but she doesn't believe he should go free. Well I have no problem saying he should get a life sentence at the least, if not the death sentence. I don't usually believe in killing someone, but come on, 5 DUI's prior! I would think someone would have caught that. When was he allowed to get near a car, or even in a bar for that matter! I get mistakes happen, and one DUI I am willing to over look. It does not make you a bad person. What makes you a bad person is when your not willing to learn from your mistakes, and take action to not let it happen again. We live in a world with taxi's, friends and family. There really is no longer an excuse to drink and drive. When the consequences are as dire as literally life and death, you would think people would be willing to make that phone call for a ride. Maybe I should be looking at this from the religous stand point. Will God send O'Hagan straight to Hell for killing a preacher? This might be harsh, but I hope God isn't too forgiving.
