life is cunt

[Mexicano Rojo]

my sister is a primary school teacher in birmingham, on monday night a 9 year old pupil of hers keiron hunt was mown down anddragged 70metres by a hit and run driver, the driver also dragged kierons 30 week old pregnmant mum and younger brother with him.

keirons diasbled dad watched on in a wheelchair from the other side of the road as his family were killed.

the driver has been caught.

my sister says it has been the most difficult week of her life, first having to tell his classmates and then having to deal with an empty desk.

fucking boy racers i fucking people that drive to fast.

I read about that in the paper yesterday, just horrible.

That's a terrible thing to happen Mex. I assume the driver was driving like a prick from the tone of the message. I'd say I hope they throw the book at him, I do, but I honestly think punishment is far too soft these days.

Puts life into perspective though. Fucking enjoy it because you don't know when your time is up.

He wont get off but i bet the fucker gets a piss poor sentence.  :evil:

I've got to be honest, I thought this was a wind up when I first read it, all seemed to bad to be true.

That's a nightmare for all involved.  

Hopefully the driver will get sent down for a long long time!!  Although as we're talking the UK judicial system here I doubt he will.

[Arriba]

too many cars and bad drivers on the road.
i would come down harder on bad drivers with instant bans for poor driving.
the cunt that killed the family should be put down!

Causing Death by Dangerous Driving

The standard of the offender's driving at the time of the offence should be the primary factor in determining the seriousness of an offence.

The Panel recommends:

1  a short custodial sentence for an offence arising from a momentary error of judgment or short period of bad driving, where there are no aggravating features;
2

custodial sentence of 2-5 years when the standard of the offender's driving is more highly dangerous, e.g. aggressive driving or greatly excessive speed, or when the offender has consumed alcohol or drugs; 3  custodial sentence over 5 years, up to the maximum of 10 years, for the most serious offences, where the offender has driven with complete disregard for the safety of other road users and where other aggravating features are present. [/list]

Factors that would increase the seriousness of an offence include:

the death of more than one victim or serious injury to one or more victims in addition to the death;
failing to stop or falsely claiming that one of the victims was responsible for the crash; and
previous convictions for motoring offences, especially if they involved bad driving or the consumption of excessive alcohol before driving.

Probably looking at 6-9 years prison and a very lengthy driving ban. Mex says he 'got caught' - does this mean he also failed to stop? If so it would be considered an additional aggravating factor. I guess the unborn child would also be considered a fatality.

6-9 years for 4 lives?

[Leggett]

yup, he didnt stop.

What an ignorant post. I'm not condoning it but come on.

Murder would be deliberately driving into them and mowing them down....not entirely sure that's how it happened to be honest

Having said that I hope he gets a huge sentence
