This is incredibly reductive and makes us look like idiots who don't understand "intent".
I get it, fuck cars, but this is ridiculous and only serves to make us look like a joke

Murder is with the intention to kill. This would apply for using a car as a weapon as well and courts do go after these cases in practice, of sniping a target with a car.
But they are too lenient on deathly accidents with gross negligence.

Unless the driver admitted to wanting to kill someone on purpose with their car, the grey area between "I didn't see them" to "I don't know what happened." makes it so that drivers are often only given a citation for a traffic violation (i.e. not stopping at a stop sign), if the victim is lucky enough for that level of "justice".
It's very rare to see a driver be convicted of anything beyond vehicular manslaughter, including when you have a history of driving offences, and run off like a coward after running over a cyclist.
edit: grammar
Plot twist, the person killed is a protester.
My friend's mom got run over recently. The guy had the alcohol percentage that indicated he'd don't at least ten shots of hard liquor in an hour and he was going well over the speed limit. He got her so hard it crumpled the front of his truck.
But in Cali, since it's a first time offence, he's getting like, a thousand dollar fine. The cremation is going to cost more.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Luigi didn't kill that CEO as far as we know, and titles like this don't help an innocent man.
And if you setup a system were people die preventable, unnecessary deaths the cops will work for you.
He would obviously just lie and say it was an accident. I would match his story.
So, luigi should have used a car instead?
Got it.
True for Germany, too. The killers sometimes even get to keep their drivers licenses.
... with judges explaining their non-judgements with some totally rediculous arguments like: he has already suffered the worst... having to live with the fact he klilled someone, so there's no reason for further punshment.
But there was a case where someone was convicted for murder because he was involved in an illegal car race and should have known better. Yes, illegal car races are a thing in Germany
Edit: This isn't the case I had in mind. I remember vague that the victim was an (elderly) man
Might be worth mentioning that "illegal car race" does not (necessarily) mean fast and the furious style street racing.
According to § 315d StGB (the German penal code), driving recklessly and violating traffic laws with the intention of reaching the highest speed does constitute an illegal race.
It could be hard to explain why he had to drive it up on the sidewalk and squeeze between the curb-parked cars and the building on accident. And also why it was covered in silencers.
You don't need silencers, just a prius or similar.
Actually a tesla could be good for this: just need to figure out a way to trick the self driving into thinking the sidewalk is a car lane, and the CEO is a small child. /s
Why did you add /s, that would work
Works for the Walton family. You know, for those nights of heavy drinking, where you just wanna bounce some peasants off your grill.
And if you kill a CEO is terrorism
