Cause and Effect. We learn throughout our lives what this truly is. An example would be when we are a child we want a cookie before dinner. We can easily ask our parents if we can have one, which most of the time they will say no. Yet, we disregard their word and when they are not looking we go for the cookie anyway. However, we are then caught red-handed and have to deal with the consequences as expected, which could range from being grounded to having no dessert for a week. However, when we are given a chance to redeem ourselves after an ill action one would be expected to do the right thing, right?
Recently, a man was driving and got into a car accident on a Pennsylvania interstate that resulted in a three-car accident. Later, the man was convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol. From there was submitted to blood alcohol testing, BAC, as well as having his car impounded by police officers.
The next day the man was released without having to post a single cent for bail. One would assume that after already causing an accident and a crime to take place that the man would probably go home and sleep, or go and visit a lawyer. Wrong. The man was found just a few short hours later in his mother’s vehicle after driving while under the influence yet again. Only this time, the man hit and killed a bicyclist. The man attempted to flee from the scene of the accident, but luckily the bystanders made sure he wasn’t going anywhere.
Today, the man now stands with the charge of vehicular manslaughter, as well as driving while under the influence of alcohol or other substances. The man killed was the father of eleven children, who now are morning their father everyday. Although the man killed an individual he only has to look at 10 years of jail time for the crime, which is far less than that of many that partake in similar crimes.
