MA: More Likely To Drive Drunk Here...

PISSED sent this one over the holiday weekend, another story of how the state of Massachusetts punishes criminals...

Driver allegedly drunk slams into 4 cars on I-93

MILTON, Mass. -- Police said a man was driving drunk north on Interstate 93 when he hit several cars. The man was out on bail on Friday night.

“Oh God, I’m just thankful that I’m alive,” said Sheila Hooker, who was hit by the alleged drunk driver.Hooker was the passenger in one of the four cars police said 24-year-old Rony Santos-Cruz slammed into while allegedly driving drunk up I-93 North.

Got that? He was out driving drunk on Thanksgiving evening, hit four cars on the highway while driving under the influence, and was let of out jail the next day. That's despite:
“Later it was discovered that the defendant had three other license numbers other than the one given to the trooper. They are all assigned to him with his name and date of birth and the status of all the licenses were revoked,” said the prosecutor.
Tell me, again, why this guy is out roaming the street? He's got at least four licenses assigned to him - four that we know about - and three of them are revoked? Isn't there some silly rule about, oh, only having one valid license at a time? Why does he have four licenses? Does he just get a new license when one is revoked? Like, for driving drunk too many times?

And yet the state of MA let him walk on a $1,000 cash bail...

That is all.

One of the hardest things must be knowing that it is your tax dollars that are paying for this level of government.

Now go double up on your B/P meds.

Well, obviously if three are revoked then they are not valid anymore and therefore he's good to go!
