It sure seems like its unfair to ruin a man's life simply because he likes to drink and drive. The truth is that people who are caught driving drunk are just extremely unlucky; statistically speaking your average drunk driver will drive drunk 80 times before he or she is caught. Driving drunk is also a situation where the person doing it is technically not in his right mind when committing the actual crime, which further clouds the issue of how harshly drunk driving should be judged.
Of course, the other side of the argument in this case is that Gantulga has an extreme problem with driving drunk, making him a danger to other people on the road since he even was involved in a hit and run while intoxicated. This might be a stronger argument than the desire of his students to keep their favorite dance instructor.
So what do people think about this issue?
