    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.
