"...while McCormick is literally a criminal, he’s not a serial killer. He’s just a man who made a mistake that many others have made - drink driving..." And...oh yeah: he killed two people. Sure it was an accident in some sense; he didn't set out to kill two little boys. But that doesn't bring them back. I agree that he deserves the support of his friends; but anything that absolves him, minimizes what he did, or suggests that his incarceration is unjust is despicable. “…it was a small private gesture to Luke McCormick.”
