Well, it's not about financial gain either way.
Yes but they also don't qualify for the death penalty because of the lack of predetermination.
Must be nice to live in a world with no grey areas.If a drunk driver kills a family of people, that driver is responsible for every death in that family. The driver should be punished for knowingly taking that risk. Maybe not the death penalty, but certainly life in prison. The man who wanted to kill himself knew the train would hit his truck, it's not like accidently being hit by a train and causing the outcome.
Well, it's not about financial gain either way.
Yeah it's about a person who's actions killed 11 other people. He knew by parking that truck there the train would hit it. Cause, effect. He purposely put his truck there. Maybe it wasn't to derail the train, but the effect of the train hitting his truck was his accomplished goal. If I were to purposefully run a red light so I didn't have to wait and ended up hitting a car that was going the other way, killing the poeple inside, what should my punishment be? Is it my fault they died? I never intended to kill them, so should I be let off with a slap on the wrist and some counseling?
And he should be punished for that.He knew by parking that truck there the train would hit it. Cause, effect. He purposely put his truck there.
Why the have different degree's of murder and seperate manslaughter crimes if you are going to paint every crime where someone dies with the same ing brush then?
WHY?
You know, Yonivore gets it rather well in this thread.
Nice.
Nah, If I were a family member of one of those who were killed or injured, I'd want the guy tied to the tracks and run over by Metrolink train traveling about 2 miles an hour.
The guy is toast, I suspect he'll either kill himself or God will find a creative way to remove him from the gene pool. I just don't think there's justice to be had in a criminal court on this one.
Yeah, big surprise there. Ironical, this also helps explains why SW is able to spend so much time with us here - performance anxiety brought on by heavy drinking.
Uh, I wonder who's going to tell you that you're an idiot first. Chris or SW.
That would be me! Dan you are a moron! Have you ever heard the word hypothetical before? I never drive intoxicated. That was the most taken out of context thing I have ever heard from you.
Back to the real topic.
If somebody commits multiple manslaughters should life in prison not be an option? Life with parole in 30 years?
Even more ironical, since I've been seeing Chris I've spent at least 85% LESS time online.
But props to you, Nbadan, for keeping up with your astute observations....per usual.
Depends... Do you mean one crime resulting in multiple deaths, or two separate crimes which each result in deaths.If somebody commits multiple manslaughters should life in prison not be an option?
In the case of the latter... This person probably qualifies as a danger to society and should be kept in prison for a very long time (which could be life, depending on the cir stances.)
So multiple deaths from a single event is ok, from multiple events is not ok?
Dan,
You really are a ing idiot, aren't you?
Signed,
Everybody
