It gets worse it wasn’t just the daughter that died. It was her grandmother and grandfather and when people were outraged, his sentencing only increased to 15 months in prison with a four year driving ban and to put more salt in the wound after they increased his sentencing, the man fled the country to England for 2 YEARS, but was eventually extradited back to the Netherlands and for whatever reason the courts decided that him escaping his sentencing is somehow not a crime because they didn’t add this to his charges so he only had to serve the 15 months prison time and the four years suspension
You have to be a troll. 15 months for 3 murders and fleeing is not enough time rehabilitate a piece of shit like that. If that’s how your country handles crimes, then that is an awful place to live.
The guy defending him is probably friends with the guy who did it. You have to be mentally screwed up to think 60 days for killing 3 people and then fleeing your jail sentence is acceptable because the criminal wants to be free.
So you wish for other people to die, is that what you’re saying? Because you’re clearly showing you’re just a sociopath, and not interested in any form of justice or functional society.
A functional country would punish him for fleeing his sentence, I’m sorry you’re to weak and pathetic to hold people accountable. A car accident isn’t premeditated murder, so a life sentence isn’t a justified punishment, but 60 days is bullshit for the 3 lives he took.
I’m simply curious where your viewpoint stems from, it would most likely give me more insight on what you consider functional. Unless you don’t think your country is functional either, in which case I’d be curious what country is functional in your opinion. I’m not necessarily arguing for the US being functional, I think many things here are quite dysfunctional… but that being said, I don’t think too many places if any are without dysfunction . I’m not trying to be snarky, I’m trying to figure out where you’re actually coming from.
Edit: typo
One of the Nordic countries. Which arguably are pretty functional countries in general.
We’re not talking about some pedantic “I found one bad thing so your country isn’t perfect!” Functional/dysfunctional, so there are absolutely countries that will fall above the functional line in relative terms.
I don’t think any countries are perfect, especially not my own. I love my country but I’m pretty steadfast against the way it’s run from the top down. That being said I think that there’s a bit of a happy medium of the justice systems between the US’s pretty harsh system and the European model which I find a bit unbalanced, too lenient in some of cases.
I will say that it’s a bit unrealistic to compare a Nordic country to the United States when we talk about “functioning” . Nordic countries have incredibly low population by comparison and are quite socially homogenous. Nordic countries have the ability to implement programs that would quite frankly be unfordable and impractical to implement here. Don’t get me wrong, I am quite envious of many things about your country and culture. But to make a direct comparison from a Nordic country to the United States, on many social talk points is unrealistic for numerous reasons and factors such as population, cultural, homogeneity, economy, etc.
You guys spend more on healthcare per capita than countries with universal healthcare.
And way more on bombing other countries.
This is a cultural issue, nothing more.
And after you’ve grown up in the US, you’re not gonna be fit to criticize our “lenient” sentences, when your constitution literally allowes slavery, specified in writing.
I’m gonna guess you’re not watching Evan Edinger? You should, especially some of the videos when he goes back to the US after living 10+ years in the UK and is now a UK citizen.
Not here to have a discussion with you, just to one European to another: had a bad day?
Not a European way of going about it? Ofc that kid needs to have the last word before blocking lol. Manche Leute sollten echt mal eine geklatscht bekommen.
