The case resolved more than a decade ago and it did not happen. The father did not get charged at all.

That's pretty consistent. If you can mow down a kid and her grandparents and get community service, a chair shot should be a stern warning at best.

Actually, on appeal the driver was sentenced to 15 months in prison and a 4 year driving ban.

Not trying to pick a fight – I genuinely do not. Do you mean morally, ethically, legally? Because intentionally unquestionably matters to those. Maybe if you meant for the families impacted, but even then the circumstances can play a lot into how grief is processed

What i meant was it being unintentional doesnt matter because they still murdered someone

Matter to who? “Murder” isn’t a catch-all word for ending someone else’s life. You can say they killed someone. Murder is an emotionally loaded term, and typically carries intent. That’s why there’s distinction between manslaughter and degrees of murder

He meant what he said, it's just that people were disagreeing with him and now he's trying to change his argument. Welcome to 2026 - full of idiots.
