Who says alcohol makes you do stupid things? I mean, if I had a flat tire I wouldn't change it either. I'd just keep driving around in circles until I drove past a cop too. MORON! You're lucky you didn't kill anyone.
What's it going to take?...."QUIT ELECTING BUFFOONS"...Go ahead make it a felony...give them prison time!The recent "two cigarette tax inreases" was meant/supposed too educate these people?.."Mom Fed Up"...Take your family and run fast....don't look back if you can!...When you "pull the lever" for the likes of Tammy B, Kathleen F or Jim D this is what you get!...Maybe if some these people have jobs and some self respect they simply would not do these things.But then again Wisconsin has lead the nation in being "LIBERAL"...Sorry to say "you reap what you sow"!.....When you welcome "welfare" you have too take the fleas that come with the dog! Anyone wants to challenge this?...look at the crime rate....Be ready to strap in...Doyles "CHOO CHOO TRAIN" will bring the best form of transportation, and bring it to "MAIN STREET WISCONSIN"!
Give him a fine and send him on his way. I do not think stiffer penalties will help this man. However, an alcohol tax would definitely stop him in his tracks! He would think twice about driving drunk if he had to pay a little more for his booze. (Sense the sarcasm)
