Three-time offender...

Chloe: I know what you've done.
Davis: That guy that I killed, he was a drunk
driver. He was a three-time offender. He was charged 3 times?
Chloe: And what about all the others? Are you
gonna try and justify killing them too? Shouldn't there be a for in here somewhere?
And does it mean to make excuses for killing them?

It means he has been arrested drunk driving three times. He would almost certainly have driven drunk again in the future, Davis suggests, so killing him kept him from driving drunk again and therefore killing someone innocent on the road (again). " instead of "try to" but there is no "for" missing.

  • Not so much make excuses and say that it was the RIGHT thing to do.

Are you going TO try to justify killing them too (almost eveyone says "try and..." instead of "try to" but there is no "for" missing. Not so muc
