That's nice that you would have it in for drunk drivers. In a motor vehicle cause fatality, the chances are about 1 in 84 that it was a drunk driver who was at fault. People who are not drunk kill the other 83. But being a good Deputy, that wouldn't bother you. Only people killed by drunk drivers would bother you.
And, frankly, there are no more arguments about the issue for me. I hardly drive; I don't drink and drive.
If it were within my authority and responsibility to prosecute those who do, I assure you, I would, with as much excellence and commitment as I do whatever I do.
Oh, let me see, I think I see your "logic" -- pitiful as it is. You appear to be proposing that, since "only" 1 out of 84 traffic deaths is attibutable to a drunk driver (your stat), that, what, try to stop it is a bias against drunk drivers?
I'll point out just a few of the easier to spot flaws in the this poor excuse for an argument.
First of all, drunk driving is entirely preventable. How many of the other 83 deaths are?
Next, of the people who drive drunk, what percentage of them cause debilitating or fatal traffic injuries and/or property damage? Do you suppose it occurs at the same rate as those who drive unimpaired by alcohol?
What do you suppose the proportions are of deaths per drunk driver, versus deaths per drivers as a whole?
Here's your argument right back at you: many, many times more people - thousands of times more -- will die from heart attacks, industrial accidents, crime, drunk drivers, you name -- than will be killed by terrorists this year -- than have ever been killed by terrorists. So, why do we "have it in" for terrorists?
"In a motor vehicle cause fatality, the chances are about 1 in 84 that it was a drunk driver who was at fault. People who are not drunk kill the other 83."
Your 1 in 84 statistic is erroneous. Further, only a da** fool would try to deflect in any way the stupidity or illegality of driving while intoxicated (as it is called in Texas) or driving under the influence (in many places elsewhere).
