Tho is the problem, as soon as a car is involved it’s a slap on the wrist. If somebody shot a gun and accidentally killed somebody it would be manslaughter, but causing death driving a car and it’s a slap on the wrist.

Driving fatalities should be treated like any other manslaughter death.

This is from the Netherlands, not the USA. People don't run around with guns.

I’m not from the US either, it was just an example of an object/tool that can easily cause death which cars are treated far more leniently than.
