I absolutely agree on all points. I just meant that, in the current system, if the murder weapon was different, he would’ve been getting much worse consequences.
Right, morality of prison notwithstanding our society does treat this particular murder weapon much more lightly than most others. Imagine his prison sentence if he walked into a store with a gun and oopsie whoopsie killed 2 people / maimed 11 others.
Or (to make the damage scenario a bit more realistic) went into a store juggling a hand grenade and whoopsie killed 2 people and maimed 11 others.
Totally on your side. A car is a super dangerous object, equally dangerous as a weapon, and driving one should be considered an immense privilege, not a right.
Car murderers can take the bus, and if there’s no bus where they live, they can move somewhere else.
