I PERSONALLY don't understand how one can even be in the situation of drinking and driving. If you plan on drinking that night, don't drive. (Tons of ways to get to and from most locations). If you drove and unexpectedly/unplanned ended up in a party or something, don't drink. How hard is that? How could you ever be in a situation where you're like "damn, I drove today... oh well, I'll drink anyway". Its really not a debate about "what decision did he make WHILE impaired". Its always been about "what decision did he make prior to drinking". Clearly in this case, he made a dumb decision, there should be no argument about that. |

not fair to judge someone who's had a drink or two and not trying to be a saint but how much do you think he had to drink and how fast was he goingg at 4am to rear end someone and make tire marks across pretty much the entire midspan of a bridge? |

You're right, everyone is entitled to their opinion of who deserves what. I'm perfectly fine with it if you think him or anyone really deserves to die, I just chose to share mine. |

dam. he looks old enough to be a dad |
Anyone with a license is old enough to be a dad... |
makes it worse that he's presumably in his 40's at least his parents can't just buy him a new car (I hope not) as many of you were presuming |
Deport his ass back to China! |

hmm hope they took his passport so he can't flee. The thought of getting my insurance void and being liable for all damages is enough to scare me to never drink and drive. Plus not being able to travel and get a criminal record. |

While I think saying he deserves to die is a bit extreme, driving drunk and on top of that driving like an asshole going so fast you kill someone by rear ending them, he should do hard time and lose his license for life. This should really be a one strike and you're out offense. You'll have plenty of time to think about what you did when you're riding the bus after you get out of jail. |
From the picture above, it looks like the driver is of Mainland Chinese descend -- most likely a person that immigrated from Mainland China. Unfortunately, for a lot of Mainland Chinese folks, they either 1) don't give a flipping damn about drinking and driving 2) have absolutely no awareness of the consequences of drinking and driving Even just a few years ago, drinking and driving is extremely common in Mainland China, and especially among those businessmen / officials during their business dinners / night outs. The practice has become slightly less common as a result of government crackdown, but the mentality probably never really changed among the people themselves. |
Is that why he doesnt appear to even look somewhat remorseful? |
how is it even possible to rear end someone on Granville bridge at 4am? was the Del Sol stopped? |

If he really isn't sorry, and doesn't understand the tragedy which was entirely his stupid fault, then this guy is some sort of monster. It would basically put him right up there with any murdered or serial killer. |

Just for the record, if all these arguments are referring to me saying "he deserves to die" I merely said he should kill himself. I don't think highly enough of myself to believe that I can determine what someone "deserves." |

HOWEVER, given our very very strict drinking laws, do we know how drunk he actually was? |
So now that we know the driver is older, what does that do to the arguments like "I'm sure you've never done something stupid when you were young" comments? Should someone who's 18 and hasn't learned yet get a different sentence from someone who's 40 and should know better? Should young people be given a pass just because they're "young and dumb"? |

Late to the discussion, but the people using the whole "it's just a horrid mistake, it's not like you've never made a mistake" You're right, i've made plenty of mistakes, the difference? Mine didn't end up with an innocent person DEAD. |
