We can put someone away for decades for pot possession, but this guy keeps on DUI'ing?

1. His vehicle should have been taken away...who keeps letting this guy get behind the wheel?

2. It probably was and he borrowed the one he was in.

The local article said his license had been revoked long ago, but he was still driving anyway.

3. Send him to jail for a year or two.

He won't dry-out on his own so force him. Before he kills someone.

4. Time to start thinking about serious jail time for this guy

Nothing else seems to be able to keep him off the road.
