We need a multiple DUI offender registry ASAP! That would show us who to watch out for.

The multiple offenders need to have their names out there for anyone who logs on to a registry.Keeping it a big secret isn't helping anyone.Embarrassment to the offenders and their families is of great benefit and very therapudic.

I can't speak for 9:04, but as a habitual drunk driver during my late teenage years to my mid 20's during the 60-70's. Drunks are a self centered group of A-holes. Every single one of them, including myself. They have no concern/no regard for innocent families and other unaware drivers who are about to meet a potential killer/almost an intentional murderer on the same road that they should be able to go up and down in a safe manner. Drunks take that assumption away, as well as lives, of those that should be alive today. They, including myself belong in jail, for a good long stretch in order to learn the common sense/decent thinking and/or respect for others. As well, respect for the privilege of driving on the state highways in this country. Old drunks know new drunks to well and I can state that we DO NOT like them, feel no pity for anything that happens to them, because no one makes them drink, but themselves. If they feel the need to get behind the wheel, I hope for their death or their lose of freedom. No pity here. I agree with 9:04 completely.And 9:22, you define your stupid, self centeredness quite well. You make me angry.

Wow some people are selfish jerks!

9:22 I have never driven drunk in my life. People who aren't selfish and are responsible find DD's.

We need stricter punishment for people with multiple offenses. I am a child of an alcoholic. Believe me anyone who drives drunk, and especially after they have been caught, is a stupid selfish person.
