[clears throat] Right? It it it's such a wide a wide range of people. Some more serious crimes than others. But, in her situation, the only difference between her and somebody who uh like vehicular uh uh homicide or I mean not vehicular but vehicular manslaughter or something like that, it's just that you didn't hit somebody. But, you're still drunk. You're still drunk driving on these roads, and somebody could easily be walking or whatever, and you could be swerving like the officer said that you were swerving all over the road. What do you mean you don't belong there? Where else do do you belong then? Should we just allow you to keep driving drunk on the roads and potentially hit somebody one day? Or should you have to go down there and learn a lesson? People got this mis mis can screwed, man. Jail has people from a wide range of things, man.
