The verdict is not only distasteful, but complicit in future tragedies.
In 2014. In the Netherlands, the most bicycle safe country on the planet. After which the sentence was changed on appeal to four years in prison.
This sub is turning into ragebait for those who can’t bother to read articles or research.
Well the verdict has been appealed an the driver has been jailed now.
Calm down
Edit: This was meant for readers and commenters. I’m not telling the father in the video to calm down.
The motorist killed the toddler and her 67 and 64-year-old grandparents instantly when he went off the road at 75mph in a 50mph zone.
yeah, fuck you. you lost control while speeding and you killed people as a direct result.
straight to prison, do not pass go, loss of license for five years when you get out with mandatory training before relicensing, plus restitution to the family.
Honestly? If you get sentenced after having killed someone with a car, you should lose your license permanently.
And deserves to be in a cell with Big Beautiful Bill.
i hope people stay away from you
How about we don’t use rape as punishment
That’s fucking disgusting. Pain for more pain. Blood for the blood god. MORE MEAT FOR ME!!!
That’s really crazy! Only 120 hours community service?
Does anyone know the details of what actually happened?

I didn’t see the link to what happened at first.

If I were the killer in that situation, not that I ever would be, I would actually want to be given a harsher sentence than that. Because what we just witnessed in that video is the creation of a vigilante. When the government won’t seek justice for people whose lives are completely ruined, those people will seek justice themselves, and I don’t want to receive that sort of justice.
The good thing is, as the second link in the post says, the driver eventually did get a jail sentence of over one year.
Still no where near long enough of a sentence.
It has the desired effect in the society. I don’t see much reason in spending money for a sentence harsher than what is needed to stop people from committing such crimes.
What nonsense are you basing that on?
15 months in a nasty, unairconditioned, Texas jail doesn’t stop people smoking weed. It’s certainly not enough of a deterrent.
I think they finally fixed it in Denmark. That would be called hazardous driving and someone just got 4 years for killing someone due to it. The sentence was reduced since he showed remorse, could have gone all the way up to 10 years.
Er det under vanvidskørsel loven?
Det er flettet ind i straffeloven:
§ 241. Den, som uagtsomt forvolder en andens død, straffes med bøde eller fængsel indtil 4 måneder eller under særligt skærpende omstændigheder med fængsel indtil 10 år. Er forholdet begået i forbindelse med spirituskørsel, overtrædelse af færdselslovens § 54, stk. 1 eller 2, særligt hensynsløs kørsel eller de groveste hastighedsovertrædelser, anses dette som en særligt skærpende omstændighed.
Tak for info 🫡
And now the father will get a harsher sentence than the killer?
Nope. The judge found it “understandable”. It’s been reported on since.
…link to this report please?..
I think the pink was originally in the article, but first search result found:
Derijks later told the press that he essentially “blacked out” from grief and anger in that moment. Interestingly, because the judge understood the immense emotional weight of the situation, she never filed a formal complaint against him, and he was not prosecuted for the outburst.
Obviously.
Should have thrown a car
but have a few drinks first, so he can get off.
Yeah, then he’d be fine, as long as he has insurance coverage and doesn’t flee the scene.
Shoul’ve just waited and run her over with a car. 3 people gets you 120 hours, one surely only gives you 40
The killer got 15 months in jail. Impossible to imagine somebody would get 15 months of jail for throwing a chair at a judge. So, almost surely not.
Not until after the chair was thrown.
… SO VIOLENT RESISTANCE DOOOOES WORK AFTER ALL!? huh!? Its almost like thousands of years of human history have already provne this!
If that affects it at all, it decreases the punishment the father will get. If the ruling had immediately been 15 months, the throwing would have been much less justified and whatever punishment he gets would be therefore harsher.
