The post that you responded to was about this asshole's unmitigated hypocrisy. Yet you jump to this asshole's defense by saying that the substance that he consumed wasn't illegal. Talk about not getting the point! The point is that this asshole should not be deciding for others what they need to do to receive money.

And you're now saying that he's ONLY guilty of drunk driving? Oh, he ONLY could have killed multiple people. He should not only pay a legal penalty for what he did, he sure as hell should have NO bearing on what people need to do to receive their money.

And once again, why the hell are you defending this asshole?
