A recent letter writer stated, “Hawaii needs to jail and fine not only a killer who uses a deadly weapon, but also the family, friends and any other people who supported them” (“Gun laws should include communal punishment,” Star-Advertiser, July 25). On that thought, how about every time there’s a DUI arrest, we also arrest the waitress who served the drink, the bartender who poured the alcohol, the owner of the establishment, the liquor salesman, the liquor distributor, the shipping company who brought the container and the company that made the booze?
Or maybe we just hold people responsible for their actions and stop blaming everyone and everything else. You know, like adults.
