Just hop on a scooter, motorcycle or car and presto you can kill and receive minimal punishment. 1 -3 years for killing someone while driving a scooter. Ridiculous.
*Orville actor
3 years for murder? 20!
Until this country starts implementing harsh punishments for crimes, we will continue to circle the toilet bowl.
Imagine crossing a street, minding your business and some jackass on a scooter runs into you and kills you. 1-3 years is all he's gonna get? A woman is dead.
The Democrats can’t stop enabling the criminal element in NYC. Good job breaking up those stereotypes.
Take a life, meaning take everything from someone, and you get a slap on the hand. Our greasy on the take politicians have made a mockery of the word 'justice'. Our legal system is a complete corrupt joke!
J6 trespassers go to jail for decades. Fuck this system.
seems he should be getting more for simply killing her, and more still for running away
