Teen gets six years for fatal street race
That's it? Six-years for manslaughter? The maximum sentence is 10. It's almost worth it to drive recklessly down the street. He murdered a 20-year-old innocent man and all he had to pay for with is 6-years of his life??
The 20-year-old deceased has his future taken away from him, but the killer?
"The younger Ferreira told the probation officer he fears prison but would someday like to take over the family business and work on fast cars."
Mind you, something he likes to do. How that for fairness?
"The word is finally getting out that if you street race, you could kill somebody," [Blaine Bowman, prosecutor] said.
What? Huh? You mean they didn't know that before? What are they doing on the street then?
I am sorry if I am a strong believer of an eye for an eye.
I am also a strong believer of natural selection. Why waste our cops' time and our tax money to pull over people for not wearing their seat belts (unless, of course if the city/state can use the money)? In my opinion, before people obtain their driver licences, they should be shown pictures (preferrably the real scene) of what it looks like to die in an MVA (motor vehicle accident), then if they still want to drive seatbelt free, put their kids on their laps, or many other stupid things that you can or cannot name off the top of your head, let them. Help us clean out our genepool.
