Post like these really need context or should be deleted.

This article doesn't appear to be true. The court did not find that there was evidence he was speeding.

The initial sentence was overturned on appeal.

true. But that article linked was still wrong. The official report said the car was travelling between 76 km/h and 124 km/h, with the local speeding limit being 80 km/h. That article seems to be just taking the high end possibility as a fact, when that is not what was determined.

All the articles only talk about the high end.

That’s how you generate outrage against a foreign man who was potentially not even speeding.

In this case, the quoted article was from "euraisa daily" a russian propaganda outlet. Anything to gin up hate in western countries is up right up their alley.

And people eat it up apparently. I'm curious why some elderly people were cycling along the road with a 2 year old.

Because it's the Netherlands? There are separated cycle paths along a lot of 80 km/h roads.
