Last year in Oxford, Mississippi, home of that renowned party school, The University of Mississippi, a drunken student ran head-on into another student. I just heard on the news that he was sentenced to 10 years with 9 years suspended. I also heard that late last week, another drunken University of Mississippi student ran over another student killing her. Wonder how much time he will get for that murder?

It really irritates me that we continue to have judges in this state who are so lenient on crimes committed by people who simply to damn stupid to not drink and drive. Even when they kill someone they still get off. Just last week this same University was mourning, and rightly so, the death of three students killed in a fraternity house fire. Perhaps a little outrage over the lenient judges who essentially let drunken murders off so easy would result in a little less drinking and lot more students living. How hard is it for seemingly intelligent students to understand that you simply do not drink and drive? Apparently it is too much to ask for from the students in Oxford.
