People need to take responsibility for their own actions, it is that plain and simple. He has to pay for the action that he took in drinking and driving. In this case it is that he might not live or be paralyzed. Other times it might be someone else who is killed. Either way, it sucks but that is life. We don't live in a perfect world because none of us are perfect. Would I be upset if someone I knew was killed because of a drunk driver, you bet...but that is how the world works. You can only educate people, make tougher laws, and hope that people follow that. If they don't, they have to live with what happens to them. At first when I hear of something like this I do feel angry that someone would do something so stupid, but then I realize we all have made a mistake and I hope that they recover. If someone is killed, someone has to live with the guilt of what happened for the rest of their lives and for most people that is punishment enough.
