So much for all the breaks she's gotten until now. I'm thinking several years of home incarceration with an ankle bracelet. It'll keep her off the street, let her continue drinking to an early grave, and give her something to complain then think about.

SHE is a prime reason why we need a Drunk Driver Registry and special tags on repeat drunk driver vehicles so we can protect everyone from these repeat monster drunks before they kill little kids and families. Anyone else for drunk driver registry to protect the public from these monsters.

I know one thing. If I lived with her I'd start drinking too.

If this DRUNK isn't put in jail, she will eventually kill herself and more importantly, SOMEONE ELSE.

You all know what she's going to claim? She downed a few after she got home.
