FKNA said:You made a comment about "justice". Let's set aside the Ohio dwi laws for a moment, because in my eyes....they're "fair". Instead, let's talk about Texas dwi laws. On a third offense they treat it as a felony. Do you personally consider that "fair" and/or "justice"
APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AGO, FKNA STATED THE FOLLOWING :

"Let me give you a little history. 7 years ago I got two dwi's back to back. There's a reason I got two of them back to back (because I was drinking and driving during that period of my life).
There's also a good reason why I haven't had one since (for I found it too much of a hassle, cost too much, and third one would be treated as a felony). If I drink out, it is far cheaper and far less of a hassle to pay $20 for the cab and retrieve my vehicle the next day."
My comment:
Well, it would appear that, in Texas, a 3rd DUI/DWI should be a felony according to FKNA. It seems that the level of the crime has supposedly stopped FKNA from drinking and driving. So, it's a wonderful deterrent.
So, it would further appear that a 3rd arrest, with a felony rap in the bargain, has at least purportedly stopped FKNA. Now, THAT'S Justice. And, as Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing."
