If he passed whatever test(s) the DMV had him take, what grounds would there be to punish the person, people or organization that gave him his license?

Taking their cars is not an insult to them, its adressing a reality that they are a hazard.
That's what you do to someone who constantly gets lost, runs stop signs or gets into a minor "fender bender". This guy killed 10 people and injured over 70 more! I can't believe people are saying he shouldn't be punished because he happens to be old.
