First off, I neer said you said that, nor did I suggest it so you instanly lose footing in your arguement right there, bad form. I let people speak for themselves and I do the same myself, so I'm lost on your question of putting words in any one's mouth, still losing ground bud. Proactive effort you say? How about the "victim" should have been proactive and called a cab, a friend, something other than get behind the wheel of a vehicle. "Well she did not choose those things, she chose to drive a vehicle drunk and got arrested", you might say, well that's true....she....chose. You don't like the laws that are in place then rally your community to make a change. In the mean time spare me your "Oh she's such a victim spiel". People need to start learning to make better decisions for themselves. This ideal that we should hold everyone's hand so they never get hurt needs to stop, it's producing a society of diaper wearing people that look like adults.
