What the h*%# is going on in my home state? An illegal down in VA Beach is deported after his THIRD DUI offense which killed two teen girls, now this girl gets a slap on the wrist even though someone died b/c of her adult choice? This is garbage!!!! If i myself a 19 year old middle-class male did this i'd be looking at 30 years not days.

It's called "Personal Accountability" and we don't subscribe to that in this country anymore.

Even in progressive NJ, you kill someone while DWI, you're going to prison.

She should go to MA & run for the senate.

They don't give a picture or name but let me assure you 100% she is a white girl. The illegal alien was not. That is the difference.

No mention of the girl's parents here. What is their liability?

They have no liability. It was not their car nor were they driving it.

30 days. Nice. And $5000. Even nicer. Kill someone & basically you get off clean. Maybe I'm jaded as my husband was killed by a drunk driver. He, too, got off practically scott free. Years from now, this kid won't think anything of this "incident." Mrs. Becker's family, on the other hand, will feel this every single day for the rest of their lives. This is complete bulls**t.

I think all residents there need to contact your representatives immediately and PROTESTthis! See if the media (which is biased as we know) will help you. I would not sit for this; contact and let them know how you feel and will remember them at the voting polls. Good luck
