Netherlands: Man Given 120 hours Community service after killing 3 people

[Benjamin]

A polish kamikaze driver who killed 3 cyclist, was given the pathetic sentence of 120 hours community service

The deaths include a 2 year old little girl and her grandparents aged 67 and 64. The polish driver was going 120 km per hour where there is a 80 limit. The murderer has apparently never showed any grief and has NEVER. Welcome to the Netherlands were you get 6 years for not paying your taxes but a little community service for killing 3 citizens.

Ridiculous

People get more for pissing in public.

Well there's something else they can be famous for. Arjen Robben, turning carrots orange and lenient sentencing that would make even joshBB roll his eyes.

[Niall]

:shocked: There must be some underlying reason for that sentencing that they're not letting slip. That's just bizarrely lenient, what the ****?

..that's what I was thinking as well and I hate when only part of a story is released and things are not how they seem if that is how it is here....that poor guy though, you just can't imagine how he was feeling at such a sentencing for the loss of his child....

I see those wacky Dutch up to their weird tricks again...

When anyone drives over one ton of machinery at ludicrous speeds, or gets behind the wheel when under the influence of drink and drugs, and is involved in an accident causing fatalities to innocent people as a result - then he is as guilty of murder just as surely as if he had planned to kill someone.

Yes - it is that black and white.

It is as crazy as blindfolding yourself, then randomly shooting a 25 round Uzi from a 2nd story window onto the street below.

You know what the odds are that your careless, insane act, is going to kill someone.

This mad Polish bastard's reported lack of any remorse compounds the horror of his selfish, callous act and he should have been given a life sentence.

How utterly crazy is that reality in itself; "You have murdered three innocent people, so I am giving you life".

The bastard would still be thinking, breathing, laughing, crying, sleeping, waking -- living, even if he had been given a life sentence. The sentence he gave his three victims was Death - pure and final.

Whatever 'other facts' there may be which have not been 'reported' - nothing can possibly mitigate the fact that 3 innocent people are dead.

If brakes fail, if the driver of a car skids and 'loses control, we all know the difference in being hit by a car travelling at 50 kilometers an hour, to being hit by one travelling at 120 kilometers per hour.

I'm sorry but if it was my family this selfish bastard had murdered, and if was the same sentence which had been awarded him, then I would be breaking the 6th Commandment - the very one he broke - 'Thou Shall't Not Kill'.

Sadly, my 'death sentence' would not just be on the mad Pole, but on the equally as insane Judge.

[Ammi]

..sadly though in a court of law, the judge can only go by facts and no evidence could be produced that he was speeding so she was unable to give out a prison sentence, whatever she may have wanted to do...(I'm only going from the small amount I have read but don't know all the facts of the case..)...just really sad and devastating for the family...

This is almost as strict as the UK justice system, almost though.

True Creg - very true.

[lostalex]

I've never heard of a country that has a justice system that is even remotely fair. This is a very ****ed up world.

[Mystic Mock]

I think the Judge needs to get off the Drugs quick.

[Creggle]

I think this entire thing would be slightly, very slightly more bearable to hear about if the murderer gave the slightest sh!t about what he has done, but he showed no remorse what so ever... I honestly hope to whatever there is above that somebody takes it upon themselves to rid the world of this piece of filth. As slowly and painfully as possible.

:clap1::clap1::clap1:

Yes - his reported lack of any remorse is enraging, considering three innocent people are dead because of him. Bastard.
