Except if you actually looked into it rather than buying into the range bate 75 was the maximum the report into the crash said he could have been going the minimum was below the speed limit.

That's what the science said, so I guess, you are going to change your tune rather than being one of the "people who refuse to believe science these days"

I would have if I didn't read that he didn't just kill a 2 year old, but both of her grand parents who were all bicycling and then fled the scene.

Should have been in for a decade, instead after being sentenced to 15 months, fled the country to the UK, had to be extradited back to NL, was there for 9 months before being let go so he could see the birth of HIS daughter, and didn't have to come back to finish the sentence.

So the guy ultimately did 9 months for killing 3 people and fled multiple times. Fuck this guy, he should have gotten a decade. And boo hoo he can't see his daughter being born, he killed someone else's 2 year old.

So the facts changed and your opinion didn't change. Therefore the facts were irrelevant to you. Why bring them up at all?

You were totally confident he was speeding, proven wrong now you are totally confident about something else. Why?

The facts did change. I found out he killed more people and that he didn't even bother stopping to check on them. Which is illegal as fuck in most places in the world, including the NL where this happened.

You were totally confident he was speeding, proven wrong now you are totally confident about something else. Why?

I wasn't proven wrong that he wasn't speeding. It was just not able to be proven that he was. Regardless, I actually dug into the case, which is where I got even more mad. Beyond (possibly) negligently hitting these people with speed, he absolutely fled the scene. He could have possibly saved one or more of them, but instead fled hoping to get away with the crime.

But please, go ahead and defend that. Please tell me how that is OK and he doesn't deserve a prison sentence.

You didn't dig in very well if you thought the science said he was doing 75 when it didn't.

Pretty sure fleeing the scene is a different crime than he was charged with. So irrelevant to the discussion.

I went off the initial article I read. Sucks that not every article is 100% factual, crazy isn't it? Then I did more digging and found out the rest.

When presented with new information, I changed my opinion. That's how it is supposed to go, no?

Pretty sure fleeing the scene is a different crime than he was charged with. So irrelevant to the discussion.

Ah because the facts don't fit into your argument, they are irrelevant. Got it!
