I never said it was an excuse. I agree with you. Causing death is a reasonable outcome when choosing the path of impaired drinking.
I was just saying that its likely the person did not INTEND to KILL someone.
And longer sentences have been linked to increased chances of reoffending because of things such as it being harder to be reintegrated to society. They learn new deviant behaviours/mindsets during incarceration. They make unhealthy relationships, etc etc etc.

He killed 4 people, Daniel Tschetter wiped out a family, they made a concious decision to put themselves above public safety, and someone else paid the price.
This to me isn't man slaughter, or a horrible accident,he did something that probably more then 3/4 or the population knows is dangerous and stupid.
And if your using the excuse that punishment will only make him re-offend more, then maybe he shouldn't be getting out of jail for a good long time.
F%%K him.
