I can definitely get behind life without driving for a hit and run that kills someone

by Anonymous 1 year ago

But even if it does not kill someone, the person is, mentally, the same as someone who is willing to kill: we should not wait until someone dies to eliminate the risk. Just add a small jail term (not a life sentence but like 3-5 years) as a bonus if someone dies.

I mean I guess that depends on how bad the incident actually was. Obviously hitting a parked car, leaving a dent in the door, and then driving off is bad, but definitely does not deserve life without driving imo

Eh. That happened to me (my car was parked) happened at 2 AM and they skirted off and had no consequences. I would be lying if I said I didn't hope they ended up wrapping their car around a tree later that evening.

I hope they have sons... Handsome, beautiful, articulate sons, who are talented and star athletes and they have their legs taken away. I mean I pray they know that pain and that hurt.

Have a Powerade. It is delicious, and it cools you off on a hot summers day, and we look forward to Powerade's release of mystic mountain blueberry.

It's honestly worse if it doesn't kill someone. If the person is killed on impact, then driving away is just to get out of trouble. If the person is badly injured, then they're intentionally leaving them to die.

Oh bro.. 100%. People who do hit-and-runs are the same kind of people who would sell out their own family members for a quick buck.

My buddy was hit and left to die in a ditch. The woman who killed him was a recent immigrant, not even a citizen. She escaped the law for a year and half until a family member turned her in for the $50,000 reward. She got no jail time and was not deported, just a fine and a suspended license.

Yea, it's so frustrating when someone is just left to die by an a\*\*hole who does not even go to prison. Should have spent a few years behind bars. May your friend rest in peace. But let's not mix immigration and this kind of thing. In this case, it is mind blowing that a criminal is not deported. However, legal citizens unfortunately do that sometimes, and most illegal migrants who simply work somewhere for a pay higher than their original country without doing crime (now you can argue they drag the economy down but to me immigration and crime are separate issues).

Most driving penalties are too lenient. People can get a billion speeding tickets and keep driving, they can get several DWIs and keep driving, it's ridiculous.

The fact that you are comparing an accidental hit-and-run to "voluntarily" killing someone and intentionally firing a gun into a crowd shows that you don't know what you're talking about. Mandatory harsh sentences for crimes that have so many variables where context is important are never a good idea. Assuming the person dies, how would you prove that they wouldn't have died if the person stays there? There are just too many variables and too many different situations to just assume everyone needs to be in prison and lose their license forever. It's really easy to sit there and imagine that everyone who is involved in a hit and run is a horrible person that doesn't deserve any leniency but you're talking in hypotheticals and you're not examining real world situations where real people are involved.

OP isn't comparing the accident to a voluntary killing, rather the act of *leaving* is negligent and is a conscious decision to leave a hurt person to possible death.

In what world is it ok to leave the scene of a collision you caused? Please elaborate

I didn't say it was

We do need more people in jail

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Well free people serving life sentences for stealing socks, and replace them with a small stay for those who decided to leave someone to die.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Or how about replacing them with people serving multiple year sentences for marijuana possession

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Yes I agree, marijuana and plenty other example of 3 strike law are ridiculous. Just free everyone accused of marijuana crimes and your prison population problem is solved.

It's not about the number of people in jail, it's about having the right people in jail.

Is this really an unpopular opinion? Loss of drivers license and some time behind bars is pretty common already and there will always be plenty of support for tougher sentences whenever people are killed.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

There have been quite a few people who argued with me. And I think the driver license loss should be for LIFE even if no one is killed, to prevent a tragedy, and most people think the license loss should not be for multiple decades.

A few months in jail plus an ankle monitor is enough prevent a repeat incident for most people, so there's no point wasting more taxpayer's money feeding the prison industry.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Are you even obligated to call 911 or render aid for that matter? If not, you could easily just stay at the scene and ignore the other person dying. Maybe, call 911 and say you aren't hurt and the location, and hang up.

Depends if they caused the accident

I'd say they have a small amnesia period like a day or two just because people do act irrationally but after that that's just not taking accountability for your actions
