The nutshell desription -- an asshole, while driving drunk, killed three children and their mother (and then attempted to flee the scene).
That there are assholes who shouldn't walk the face of the earth bothers me, but is something I already knew, alas.
What really shocks me is the final sentence: "He was expected to be booked for vehicular manslaughter."
Manslaughter? Fuck that. Driving while drunk is the same as firing a gun randomly into a crowd. If no one dies, it's sheer dumb luck. But if anyone does, it's murder. Plain and simple. I've got lots of room for moral grey areas. But not on this topic.
