I don't understand why this guy is getting punished so severely for a clear accident. Time and time again I read about cases where someone hits & kills another person (or multiple people), whether it be cyclists, pedestrians, or other drivers. 9 times out of 10, the person isn't punished at all -- maybe a $50 fine at most. There was just a case a couple miles from my house where a guy ran over a tow truck operator who was in the street helping with a car accident that had happened earlier. The driver violated a law and didn't move out of the way of the tow truck worker and instead headed straight & hit & killed him. Was this guy punished? No. He just got a traffic citation. No license revocation, no jail time, nothing. When I made a comment on a neighborhood forum that I thought the punishment should have been more severe, I was attacked, and everyone said "It's punishment enough for the poor man that he has to live with the knowledge that he killed someone." They actually seemed to feel more sorry for the killer than the victim!! But that's the usual argument -- that the killer has suffered enough from the trauma of the accident -- and I don't agree because we shouldn't project how we would feel onto strangers. So it's so weird to me that in this Canadian hockey team case, the attitude has totally shifted from shielding the killer from responsibility to totally crucifying him (not referring to the attitude on Websleuths, but the way he has been treated in society & court of law). I don't get it.
