The socialist severely anti-freedom Observer once again uses a tragic death to make repeated calls for prohibition and reductions of freedom at any costs in North Carolina.

The tragedy used is the death of a college student killed by a repeat-offender illegal immigrant who was drunk and going over 100 mph the wrong way on an interstate who collided head-on with the student. The student was killed instantly.

So, the Observer says that because of this death North Carolina should require a permit to buy a certain quantity of beer (a keg). Of course, the illegal in this case didn't have or drink from a keg.

The Observer wants the penalty for death by vehicle increased -- something an illegal would never know because they don't really keep up on the laws of the various states in which they are appearing illegally.

They want to tighten the law on commercial drivers who drink -- and no, the illegal was not a commercial driver. Instead, the illegal had already been arrested repeatedly in various different states for drunk driving. He had no driver's license, never mind a commercial license.

Oh, and the Observer wants the 0.08 BAC level to be more strictly enforced -- despite the FACT that there is ZERO evidence that keeping those with a 0.08 BAC level will have ANY effect on drunk drivers. If the law were designed to keep dangerously drunk drivers off the road, the legal level would be about 0.17 -- which is what it should be.
