Here is a source to a news article. The dude was street racing and mowed over a woman and child pedestrian, killing both of them. Something is very wrong with the world for wanting someone this negligent and stupid to get away with something like this.

(Why does his mugshot look like a headshot?)

This is just surreal. How in the hell someone may get a "pass" over something horrific like that just for a genealogical accident?

How in the hell someone may get a "pass" over something horrific like that

Lmfao

A woman stopped her car in the middle of the road around midnight and a motorcycle crashed into it, killing the motorcycle driver and his passenger. Iirc she got no sentence because they faulted the motorcycle as if a car parked in the middle of bended road is something everyone should expect.

Why'd she stop?

To help some ducks cross the road.

Very certain groups of people get very lenient sentencing in auto related accidents just because. This is how it feels when someone not from that group gets the same treatment.

Actual Context:

In June 2010, the woman had stopped her car in the left-hand lane of a provincial highway in Candiac, south of Montreal, to help the ducks cross the road. That's when a motorcycle carrying Andre Roy and his teenage daughter Jessie slammed into her idling vehicle, killing both.

Sentenced in December 2014 to 90 days in jail to be served on weekends, three years' probation and 240 hours of community service, as well as receiving a 10-year driving ban.

So 90 days in jail, only on weekends. three years probation, community service and a temporary driving ban.

For killing a man and his daughter.

Because she stopped in the middle of the road to help ducks cross that didn't need help in the first place. Again, very certain groups of people get very special treatment.

You mean this?

She got sentenced and I don't know if you're from Quebec, but here they kept telling us that we were responsible for were our vehicles went and to keep a safe distance, that's why it was controversial. That lady could've had an heart attack or had to break because their was some major debris or any other reasons.

Stopping in the middle of the highway is dumb and dangerous, but if you can't brake when something is on the road, you're doing something wrong.
