The world is insane
I'm sure that being forced to live here instead of at home will impress upon him the wrongness of his actions.

Probation for this punk should consist of community service that is so hard as to make him wish he’d gone to prison. I don’t even know what it would be.
If American children were allowed and encouraged to experience beer and wine from day one of their lives on this earth as they do in Europe, things like this might not happen.
I don't quite understand how the psychologist could (and was allowed to) testify to these alleged circumstances. Was the psychologist right there with the perp when all this was supposed to have taken place? Can you say "hearsay"? The judge must be crazy/utterly corrupt.
The four killed were a stranded motorist, a youth paster who'd stop to help the motorist, along with two good samaritans who'd also stopped to help.
A comment at one of the other articles I read said this kid had a previous DWI...not sure if that's true, or not. Makes this all the more sad and maddening, if true.
Not really. Plenty of young drunk drivers killing themselves and others in Europe as well.
And just look at a few of the “youth binge drinking” articles the UK Daily Mail regularly posts on its website...yikes! Permissiveness does not equal responsibility.

The very best justice money can buy. It’s Texas; was he possibly a star football player?
Not me. He killed four people and shattered their families by his own admitted neglegence. He should be in prison for life X 4.
The families should wait a while,then hire a professional to take care of the problem.
Judge did well enough to be able to retire right after making this ruling.
If you are rich enough to buy (in)justice, you don’t need to hide assets.
Hopefully he will continue to drive and use a concrete light pole or a freight train for brakes at about 90 miles an hour.
No, but Ole Ted has been off the sauce for some time now.
I hope someone kills this piece of garbage
We expect drunk people to exercise good judgment, yet of course judgment is the first thing to be diminished by alcohol. Why are we still surprised?
I'm sure that being forced to live here instead of at home will impress upon him the wrongness of his actions.
I want to know why the OUTRAGED MSM wasn’t so outraged over Ted Kennedy getting a free pass on Chappaquiddick.
