Drunk driving puts countless people at risk, theft hurts countless people - the emotional sting of it as well as the physical loss of property.

I've seen the deadly effects of drunk driving - innocent people die.

I've been a victim of theft - it takes years to recover.

But with the prison overpopulation problem they are giving more lenient sentences to non-violent offenders even though the drunk driver hit a woman that had to be taken by EMS to a local hospital and the driver was lucky enough to walk away from the accident scene. Somehow that's 'non-violent' despite trauma being involved.

Just saying we've got a messed up penal system.
