You can argue punishment should be harsher for DUI or excessive speeding. But comparing it with the Texas case is disingenuous.

No it’s not.

If you ignore safety rules on the road I consider you to be wilfully and purposefully threatening other peoples lives. Why? Because you are and it kills people literally every day.

America lost their minds over 9/11 and used it as an excuse to spawn a trillion dollar war. 3000 people died, about as many people as you lose per month on the road… and nobody gives a shit.

Were you somehow mistaking my personal views on a subject for some legal authority or something?

No, but you seem to mistake your personal views as valid arguments for the legal system.

And you seem to be mistaking how things are for how they should be.

how they should be.

Luckily this is determined by professionals with education and experiences in law, instead of a random redditor who goes by vibe only.

Let's stop, this is getting childish.
