Unbelievably, Michelle Brannigan drove her 11-year old son to school and had a crash. She had been out drinking the night before and was nearly FOUR TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, it would be easy to find examples of where men have been jailed for non-injury crashes whilst DUI \"Whisky\"(driving under the influence) for a year, 10 months, six months<\/a>, and so on. I\u2019m sure there are longer sentences out there.<\/p>\n

Brannigan was over the limit by 25% more than any of those male examples \u2013 in fact, she was so drunk it is a wonder she was able to breathe unaided \u2013 and yet she was jailed for a paltry 16 weeks.<\/p>\n

She could have killed her son. She could have killed any number of other children. She was absolutely pissed during the school run (and I won\u2019t mention the likely head start in the bad driving stakes that conveys). All those men in the examples above were completely uninvolved with the school run.<\/p>\n

The only reason the idiot judge could have been so lenient in \u201cone of the worst cases he had ever seen\u201d was that she was female and a mother. He even considered suspending the sentence \u201cbecause of [her] children\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unlikely she\u2019ll be inside for anywhere near 16 weeks, either.<\/p>\n

The night before, this \u201cmother\u201d \u2013 the word \u201cunfit\u201d is omitted in the article \u2013 had been drinking bourbon until 1 am in the morning. The judge insisted she is \u201ca good mother\u201d. Quite how his logic works is obviously not clear \u2013 answers on a postcard please.<\/p>\n

The mitigating pleas are laughable when you consider Brannigan\u2019s haggard face, clearly weathered by years of hard living. Apparently, it was all the fault of depression, the \u201cneighbour from hell\u201d, being a single mother with little support, and so on. All these things do is paint a picture of the kind of people and the localities involved \u2013 best summed up by the word \u201crough\u201d.<\/p>\n

It really is one rule for men, and another for women sometimes.<\/p>\n

And this is exactly why society is declining and people drive, for example, the way they do. This \u201cgood mother\u201d is one hell of a role model for her kids to emulate when they grow up. The script is already written for how they could easily turn out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
