So not ONLY were they drunk, but they took turns and one of them didn't even have a drivers license.
Thats just all sorts of fucked up.

So his buddy is yet to be sentenced, and Im guessing he is going to get the worst of it. Assuming that dude 1 gave all the dirty details against dude 2. Doesnt make it right, but lets hope that is the case.

I think, given that the victims were using non-automotive transportation, it would be justice to make sure neither of those guys drove again. Mit it condition of parole w/suspended sentence, so if they were caught driving without a license, they would get the whole 20 years (or so).
"Welcome to transportation alternatives! Have a nice life!"
The ironic thing is that in the long run it would likely improve the perps' lives.

If the dudes were on bicycles when they were drunk, all involved would be living unencumbered lives today.
