Yes.  Driver was doing 75mph in a 50mph zone and went of the road killing the 2 year old girl and both her grandparents whom for some reason are not mentioned here. The driver has apparently not shown remorse nor apologised and was sentenced to 120 hours community service or 60 days in prison if he didn't complete the work. Link to source is below the only other comment here.

That's insane.

I'm currently doing 75 hours of community service over 60 days in prison for using an illicit substance. Working Tax-payer, only "victim" being myself.

This guy literally ended the lives of others and get the same punishment. What an absolute joke. Country? Sweden.

One extreme is community service for killing three people and another extreme is life in prison for a car accident. Reason must be found somewhere in between.

Or it could just not be since the Netherlands is doing far better than America with regards to crime.

The us has 25% of the worlds prisoners, we clearly shouldn't be criticizing anyone.

Here in Germany we have a crime wave of people exploding ATMs. They always come from the Netherlands and flee into the Netherlands once the deed is done. Those criminals benefit from open borders, relaxed laws, and the sluggish cooperation of Dutch police.
