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.
yeah, fuck you. you lost control while speeding and you killed people as a direct result.
straight to prison, do not pass go, loss of license for five years when you get out with mandatory training before relicensing, plus restitution to the family.

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

Shoul’ve just waited and run her over with a car. 3 people gets you 120 hours, one surely only gives you 40

Yeah, then he’d be fine, as long as he has insurance coverage and doesn’t flee the scene.
18 hoursThe killer got 15 months in jail. Impossible to imagine somebody would get 15 months of jail for throwing a chair at a judge. So, almost surely not.
If that affects it at all, it decreases the punishment the father will get. If the ruling had immediately been 15 months, the throwing would have been much less justified and whatever punishment he gets would be therefore harsher.

That’s really crazy! Only 120 hours community service?
Does anyone know the details of what actually happened?

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

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.
The good thing is, as the second link in the post says, the driver eventually did get a jail sentence of over one year.

I’m always a bit nervous when driving in cities that someone will jump in front of my car on purpose to get hit and scam me.
When I first saw this sentencing I wondered if that was what happened and it went wrong.
But clearly the system is just broken to only get such a small offense. I wonder if the defendant is related to someone powerful.

I think they finally fixed it in Denmark. That would be called hazardous driving and someone just got 4 years for killing someone due to it. The sentence was reduced since he showed remorse, could have gone all the way up to 10 years.

Det er flettet ind i straffeloven:
§ 241. Den, som uagtsomt forvolder en andens død, straffes med bøde eller fængsel indtil 4 måneder eller under særligt skærpende omstændigheder med fængsel indtil 10 år. Er forholdet begået i forbindelse med spirituskørsel, overtrædelse af færdselslovens § 54, stk. 1 eller 2, særligt hensynsløs kørsel eller de groveste hastighedsovertrædelser, anses dette som en særligt skærpende omstændighed.

Ethics complaints, ethics complaints everywhere. This is beyond unacceptable.
The verdict is not only distasteful, but complicit in future tragedies.
- zaubentrucker@sopuli.xyzEnglish23 hours
Well the verdict has been appealed an the driver has been jailed now.
Calm down
- asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.worldEnglish20 hours
The new verdict is still unbelievably unjust. And even if it were acceptable, we should be just as pissed at this judge and the system.
- fantacyde@lemmy.blahaj.zoneEnglish17 hours
Could have done without the calm down. It doesn’t make right how the judge made such an absurd judgement the first go round. We will be calm if stupid ‘punishments’ aren’t dished out in the first place. And if people became more responsible in the death boxes on the roadways.

No I am talking to readers and the comments around me.
I’d obviously not have said that to the father.
- zaubentrucker@sopuli.xyzEnglish21 hours
Ah, I see now how my comment can be read as a direct reply to the video :0
I’ll specify in an edit
Most of judges are merely tools nowadays, laws are compromised, we need to revolt
Well, in this case the next level of the court system did increase the sentence to over one year of jail. As should be.

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.

Bummer that the judge didn’t take the chair square in the temple.

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.)
- just2look@lemmy.zipEnglish1 day
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.
