And now the father will get a harsher sentence than the killer?

    The verdict is not only distasteful, but complicit in future tragedies.

    Well the verdict has been appealed an the driver has been jailed now.

    Calm down

    That’s really crazy! Only 120 hours community service?

    Does anyone know the details of what actually happened?

    edit

    I didn’t see the link to what happened at first.

    The motorist killed the toddler and her 67 and 64-year-old grandparents instantly when he went off the road at 75mph in a 50mph zone.

    If I were the killer in that situation, not that I ever would be, I would actually want to be given a harsher sentence than that. Because what we just witnessed in that video is the creation of a vigilante. When the government won't seek justice for people whose lives are completely ruined, those people will seek justice themselves, and I don't want to receive that sort of justice.

    In the Netherlands as well it's fucking egregious. This is a country which places exceptionally high standards on driver behaviour and has, for decades, had a concerted effort to discourage car use full stop.

    Most of judges are merely tools nowadays, laws are compromised, we need to revolt

    Nothing in this video has anything to do with America...

    So maybe comments about school shooters don't belong on a thread about someone killing a child and their grandparents with a car...

    This person's implication was that somebody should shoot that judge.

    (It's not my opinion, but clearly I have to spell it out for you since you missed it.)

    I get the implication. I am just fairly certain they didn't watch the video or read the corresponding linked articles. So their comment makes them seem lazy or stupid since they couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to what they commented on.

    Shoehorning unrelated shit into this isn't clever.
