safety of projector headlights 2612On Sun, 18 Sep 2005, Kurt Don't know where you read or heard that; it's not necessarily true. There are good and bad projector headlamps, and good and bad reflector...
Not really. An armed robber (or even an unarmed burglar) poses deliberate threats against specific people and-or their property. With intent. Until the middle of this century, the law required proof of intent for nearly all crimes, especially ones of violence; and crimes involving the threats of use of force wouldn't rely on implicit threats. With drunken driving, you have *very* risky behaviour, but aside from the intent to drive while drunk (although most drunken drivers operate in "bulletproof" mode, so their intent is to make it home safely, and find any other outcomes inconceivable, up until the point of meeting the phone pole-other car-guy with the gun, badge and party lights), no intent to cause injury or property harm. No more a crime of violence than accidentally killing your neighbor by notching a tree the wrong way and dropping that big ol' oak in your backyard on his back. Again, I am strongly in favor of stiff penalties for drunken driving, and find it appalling that they usually get their licenses back within a year or two (one of my last band's best friends end himself driving home from one of our gigs, he'd stolen his keys back from the guy he gave them to-I'll not condone the behaviour).
Followups set.
