Street racer who killed young mother at bus stop gets only 5 years prison time. - Lemmy.world

These man children playing with their toys and what is the punishment, only 5 years? The victim’s child, who will now be 7 has no mother for the rest of his life. Here is the original story of the homicide https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2023/09/street-racer-gets-5-year-prison-sentence-in-crash-that-killed-26-year-old-woman-waiting-at-portland-bus-stop.html [https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2023/09/street-racer-gets-5-year-prison-sentence-in-crash-that-killed-26-year-old-woman-waiting-at-portland-bus-stop.html] You’d get 5 years for trying to hold up a plaid pantry and not hurting anyone, but plow through a bus stop at godknowshowfast while street racing and cream a young mother and alter her child’s life forever? 5 years. Appalling.

Putting this guy in a cage isn’t going to bring back the victim or help the child. I’d much rather take away his license and make him pay child support than further support the prison industrial complex.
I was thinking about that too and couldn’t remember, didn’t Oregon pass a law about child support or was that somewhere else?
Many years community service as well.
I would be ok with at least 72,000 hours of community service.
