He shouldn’t be, unless he can demonstrate he has learned to drive safely (how? No idea). But he’d get his license back after being in prison, too. Unless we’re escalating to the death penalty.

Absolutely. But this is a structural problem: our roads are death traps. The guy should face consequences but throwing him in jail won’t improve bike safety. Take his license, but fix the roads.

Holy shit the number of people here who think summary execution is the appropriate punishment for negligent homicide.
That’s fucked up.

It was negligence. It caused death and caused sorrow but it wasn’t a willful murder. To me, those are different categories of crime.
If someone wants to kill, you take their gun they’ll go get a knife, so prison may be the answer. If someone is shit at driving, don’t let them drive.

I’d be fine with his license being permanently revoked. That seems fair and justified. It prevents him from killing more people with his bad driving.

What would sending him to jail solve? If this was negligence, jail won’t make him more attentive. It probably won’t deter others from negligent driving either. Jailing him would be punitive, compounding harm with harm.

I think having him spend the rest of his life installing bollards to protect bike lanes would be a better outcome for everyone than sending him to prison.

Well at that point he’d be driving without a license, not sure what the punishment is for that.
There’s no good answer here, but yanking his license at least takes his weapon away. Based on the description this was dangerously reckless driving, not intentional murder.

He’s got a fine, community service, and will lose his license for some period of time.
What more punishment do you want?
Nothing can bring back a stolen life, but throwing the guy in jail won’t solve that either.

I just read The Monster of Elendhaven, and at first I couldn’t figure out the ending. So i went and read a few online reviews, and some of them were so amazingly wrong that it finally clicked and i think i get it.
Good book, but trigger warnings for violence, gore, an on-camera but not graphic SA.

Reminder to tell bluesky about the good things you read. Books, articles, blogs, Greek epigraphs written across your lover's skin, mystical sigils glowing on the walls of a brokedown palace, whatever really. Share good stuff.

this is so fucked up. these people should not be allowed to appropriate dinosaurs from people who are actually cool and good. we should send in the 82nd airborne.
We have added a new label “🦖: Dinosaur Emoji”. This emoji is frequently used by so called “Gender Critical Feminists” (Transphobes) from the UK to self-identify. To avoid false positives this will require manual review.
