Driver laughed over hitting cyclist

What I find interesting is there is no news story about the accident. I tried to search and find out about the actual "accident" but google only has this one about her being sentenced. Killing him did not even make the news.

Not much other than where to find her next drink. People who have drug and alcohol problems tend to live in denial and rationalize their behavior.

the sentence was just a year short of what the judge could legally give
her if I remember.
its not the judge...it's the restrictions of the sentencing guidelines
for her particular charge.

I agree and that sentence doesn't send the right message to motorists.

I think the worst part of this story is that 69% of people who voted
felt 10
1/2 years was appropriate. Whaaat!?!? A prior DUI, killing someone
while
drunk driving and 10 1/2 yrs is all she gets?!
Why kill someone with a gun and get life when you can get drunk and
drive
into them and get between 4 and 10 years.

Yes, she is a outstanding example of an ignorant and inhumane drunk but
at least we won't have to worry about seeing her out on the roads for
the next 10 years.

Not to get everybody's panties in an up roar but this just makes me wonder what was going through this driver's head.

Basically a driver hit and killed a cyclist and stated "that she believed she should get a medal and a parade because she had "taken out" a "tree hugger, a bicyclist, a Frenchman and a gay guy all in one shot."

What?!

Here's the news article.
