"Ohhhh calm down, they only killed someone!" That's what you sound like. Would you be ready to be the next victim of a reckless driver? If not, shut the fuck up, apologist

I'm not apologising for shit, I just don't believe in the fluffing death penalty. I do firmly believe that perpetrators of vehicular manslaughter should never be able to hold a license again as part of their sentence, so that kinda solves your hypothetical.

Edit: Let me remind you that the punishment for first degree murder in Victoria is only 30 years. I'd prefer to err on the side of leniency than end up like the US.

You can say "fuck" here. You don't need to puss out on that. But, you're pussing out on actually punishing blatant disregard for human life so I'm not holding my breath for that. If you want to have manslaughterers released to live amongst decent people you better not cry if you get disabled by a reckless driver

I already am disabled, so thank you for that. You have some dark and twisted ideas of crime and punishment. I hope you never end up in a position of power.

@princessnorah

If you take a look at gurnu's feed, it's nothing but nasty crap putting everyone else down. Horrible little shit. Save yourself some angst.

Many criminals still drive even without a licence. Taking someone's licence does not always solve the problem.

AND THE DEATH PENALTY IS THE SOLUTION TO THAT?!

Edit: That has the same energy as "Criminals will keep stealing bread, so let's send them to a land far, far away from here." Like, the punishment has to fit the crime.

You're arguing against something I never said. I'm against the death penalty. I just don't think taking someone's licence necessarily solves the problem.

Okay fair, apologies I confused you with the other user.
