I think the disparity is not race based but in the case of the drunk driver, while a terrible tragedy, is a result of poor judgment that resulted in death. Drunk kids don't intend to kill others when they do something stupid like go driving. There is the matter of intent, even though it is nuanced. I think that people kind of respond to that.
In this case, there is a willful intent to rob and take property. Even though both situations are tragic, given the intent of the robbers is much more malicious, there is s different response.
I am very against drunk driving and feel differently about intent when the perps are older and they have had multiple offenses especially. In those cases, I tend to view them in the same way as a robber (someone who is up to no good and wants to hurt others).
