Rep. Curry Todd's Apologizes for DUI & Gun Arrest

@libertyfirst, can you seriously claim that there are no victims of drunk driving? I'm sure there a lot of people whose loved ones have been killed by drunk drivers who would strongly disagree with you. I understand you point, but find you logic to be flawed.

UGLYBOB - a conscious decision can still be a mistake - and that is obviously the case here. My question to you is - how much 'punishment' are you willing to give to someone who committed a 'crime' where the was NO VICTIM? In your 'hitting a car' scenario - I would want to pay restitution to those damaged - but government feels it is necessary to profit from me running into my neighbor's car. Why is that logical or moral? It's people not involved in the event between me and my neighbor - POINTING A GUN AT ME AND DEMANDING MONEY - for an honest mistake....

Todd told assembled reporters afterward that "everybody is capable of making a mistake." This is not a mistake. It’s a conscious decision. A mistake would be forgetting to look behind you before backing up and hitting car behind you. A conscious decision would be looking behind you, seeing the car, and backing into it anyway. So what is he saying here? He didn’t know he was drunk? He didn’t know he had a gun? He doesn’t know the gun laws? NO! He knows the laws, (seriously, who doesn’t know its illegal to drive drunk?), he knows what he did, so how about he ACTS LIKE A MAN, OWNS UP TO WHAT HE DID, PLEADS GUILTY, PAYS HIS FINE, SERVES HIS TIME, AND LOSES HIS JOB, JUST LIKE MOST EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE WHO IS STUPID ENOUGH TO DRINK AND DRIVE! You are a shame to everyone who voted for you. And its an absolute disgrace that you can put those who voted for you in danger by driving around drunk, yet still receive my tax dollars as compensation while you spend your time working on your DUI case rather than working to represent us your actual job. Save the taxpayers time and money. Resign and bury yourself, you worthless P.O.S.

Is this your George Bush custums? It looks great on you. But you know you can't drive with that mask on..... righ?
