You are spewing this s**t at a firefighter.
I am well aware of how it feels to save or lose lives, I cannot put those feelings into words.

I never said Anne Heche's behavior was not criminal, but I embrace the fundamental concept that the punishment should fit the crime.

I have seen burn victims up close and personal, carried them on my back, and I can think of no punishment more painful and long lasting. Victims who survive serious burns may eventually heal physically, but their lives can never be the same.

Sometimes Justice is administered without the intervention of men and their courts.
You might call it "karma", you might call it "poetic justice", you might call it "Deus ex machina", wh**ever.

DUI and destruction of property are crimes for sure, but Heche was the only one injured and due to the nature of those injuries, I reckon the punishment she will now suffer is more than sufficient to fit her crimes.

I despise vindictiveness in people. The l*****ts are the most vindictive people in America. If they don't like someone's personality or politics or religion or lifestyle, they will go after them with a vengeance.

IOW, micro, true Justice is solely in the hands of the Supreme Judge.

No, it’s not. I have no sympathy for her. She brought this on herself. She broke the law. The law is very clear on the consequences for her violation.

Just because it's "your" bulls**t don't make it the right bulls**t. I'm not a firefighter, I'm a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, an aunt and most importantly "a human being", a human being who's life could have been destroyed in the flash of an eye because someone decided to get drunk during a podcast and drive drunk. I don't have a right to put someone else's lives in danger because I've had a rough year. Another thing, alcoholics/addicts need to suffer consequences of their actions like anyone else. Do you think this is the first time she's driven intoxicated? Do you think it will be her last "if" she doesn't reap the consequences?

Life is fair in this respect: "We all reap what we sow, no matter who we are."

Considering she was the only one injured, she likely, (regardless of celebrity status,) will/would have receive/(d) a hefty fine/community service/loss of her license. Seems fair, this time. Should she decide driving drunk wasn't so bad, (and I would willing to bet this wasn't her first time behind the wheel drunk,) if so and she does/gets caught again,(and there is always the chance she could k**l someone/herself,) THEN by all means a lengthy jail term.

She needs to pay restitution to this poor lady who lost EVERYTHING and almost lost her life!!!..

Ricktloml

I would imagine that will happen as part of any legal action against her. She is definitely old enough to know better, and her own actions have permanently altered her life, (a lot of it not for the better.) I would hope she would learn a valuable lesson

She must pay the price, and lock her up 6 months by running 90 miles an hour. She took drugs to comfort her after separating from her lesbian girl friend.

She needs a Paul Piglousy card

I must be out of the loop. I have no idea who this is. Everyone sounds like she's a star, or something.

I am a father, a husband, a brother, a son, an uncle, a cousin, a friend, and most importantly a human being,
a human being whose life could have been destroyed in a flash because of my chosen profession.

During my career as a firefighter, I have seen - up close and personal - the results of drunk driving.
A human head in a back seat, an armless, legless torso in the street.
With a broom and an industrial street sweeper's pan, I have swept up bits of flesh, a hand, a foot, a face off the street.
I have washed blood and gasoline and oil and shattered glass into storm drains.
I have put bodies and body parts in zippered bags.

I have handled the bodies of people who burned to death,
children and babies are the worst.
I have ministered to seriously burned people still alive.
Seen their flesh slide off into my hand like the skin coming off a charred marshmallow.
I have heard their screams of pain and cries for relief.
In situations like that, it is not easy to remain calm and do your job.

I am not defending Anne Heche, I am not her defense attorney.
Undoubtedly her actions that day are criminal,
and, Yes, her actions "could have" caused death, her own or someone else's,
but it didn't. No one died in that crash, so "could have" is a non-starter.
Witnesses said, "She's lucky to be alive."

I "could have" died fighting a fire - came close a number of times - but I didn't.
For that, I thank God and a few good firefighters.

Due to her own criminal recklessness, Heche was severely burned,
she is in ICU, intubated to help her breathe,
her road to recovery will be long and painful.
It is highly unlikely a movie or TV producer will ever again send her a script,
or call her to audition for a part. Her acting career is over, her life is ruined.

And, you think she should "reap the consequences" for her actions.

OK, wh**ever you say. MOM.
