Community profile: Cause and effect 

In the article “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” describes the problem of how there are many road kills and how one-third are alcohol related. What author Addis Abada suggest we do about the problem of drunk driver; we should punish them like those who purposely kill someone. What Addis means by this is that those who kill we punish them by locking them up, but those who are drunk, and kill aren't punished as they should, the author suggest we do something about drunk drivers before anyone is injured. No one should drink and drive to begin with because they know it's illegal and could possibly harm or kill someone. It's very devastating when the innocent one has to suffer what the drunk driver did. I believe we should do something about it now before any more accidents happen. Also, I dislike how people and the maps show when there's a checkpoint, I believe all those who drive under the influence should get caught since someone can get injured. "someone who does an act knowing it is likely to cause death is just as blameworthy as someone who did the act intending to cause death.” I agree with this quote because in the end, both killed someone except one doesn’t do the time as both situations did the crime which is clearly unfair to the victim and their family, during both situations I'm sure they know it's wrong and isn't right.
