He was found guilty to causing the death of his two friends, by dangerous driving but the given only a four years jail sentence.

Sadly this sort of short sentence is quite common.
We had a young lad in our area recently. His dad had borrowed a huge Range Rover to test drive over the weekend.
His son took the keys without his dad knowing (so his dad says) and the lad drove at high sped round the small local roads.
He reached speed of 80mph (according to police) on small suburban roads and ploughed into a car killing the man in it and seriously injuring a child in the car.
So he stole a car, was not insured, did excessive speed, killed one person, injured another, and got just 5 years.
Driving a huge multi-ton Range Rover should be considered just a dangerous as if you were carrying a gun and carry the same sentence as if you killed someone with a gun.

I seem to recall that we have a similar debate on drugs, or it might have been someone else. I don't know anybody who takes "recreational" drugs or, if they do, they don't tell me about it. But if I had evidence that anybody was taking something as serious and hard-core as cocaine, than I would have no hesitation in reporting them to the Police. We need to understand a little less about drug abuse and condemn a lot more.
Back to the thread in question. The sunbtle difference between drug abuse and addiction, and "recreational" drug abuse, is almost certainly lost on the families of these two dead young men. I have made this point before but it is unlikely that these men would have been killed, if Clements hadn't taken drugs. Drugs are a menace in our society and to try to pass them off as a "lifestyle choice" rather like taking sugar in your tea or not, isn't helpful in any way.
I guess that we will never agree on this point, but a debate is always welcome.

Just in case anybody else thinks that cocaine is a harmless, non-addictive drug should read the following ::::

Just before I go Ummm.....If cocaine is one of the drugs that your "respectable" friends and acquaintances take, then according to the two links I have provided above, one of the first things that will be effected is their ability to make rational decisions. Like driving for instance.
