About the issue. It's a difficult one. How many of us at 19 were racing cars around the country? Unless the young man deliberately targeted her, it was clearly unintentional. To lock someone away for years for a momentary lapse, even if he's a stuck up twit, is not the best punishment IMO. It's revenge.
No it aint.
Salient facts:
1) He was a 19 year old who thanks to his silver spoon life was driving a 15 Million baht car he was incapable of handling safely.
2) Said scumbag thought he was so important he didnt see any issue with driving through a town at 120kmh. Thats what he
says he was doing.... thats about 70mph. Ive seen an accident on the A road near the uni I went to where an old woman was hit at that speed and she wasnt bisected so personally I find it hard to believe.
120mph maybe. A porsche does 70mph in second gear.
3) The scumbag then did a runner lke the cowardly callous spoiled little shit he is. Thats hit and run. Given that he was now sitting next to her top half he was fully aware he'd killed someone which compounds the offence. Make that first degree vehicular manslaughter, fleeing the scene and evasion of justice.
4) Said shitbag went into hiding and got daddy warbucks to go down to the police station and lie his ass off, thus perverting the course of justice. Premeditated offence and vicarious liability for the same.
5) And finally...this little wanker shows up at a funeral with the press in tow and snivells his crocodile tears whilst wringing his hands and handing over a pittance blood money pay off to buy his way out of what hes done. All carefully stage managed by daddy warbucks and his leech lawyer from the sidelines. Cynicism, callousness and elitism all in one bag.
In the uK this tosspots biggest worries would start AFTER he got out of jail, where no doubt a crowd of "fans" would be waiting to give him his warm reception care of a crowbar. Bike mags like AWOL in the UK used to publish details of such little darlings just so every biker knows who and where these scum are.
As Pink Floyd said
The evidence before the court is incontravertable, theres no need for the Jury to retire!
Send the little bastard to jail for a 10 stretch, stick daddy in the cell next door for 5 for lying to the police and hiding his son. Sieze their house, sell it and give the dosh to the Lao mother.
Court adjourned
NEXT!
