This isn’t a fair trial at all… Our justice is so fucked up, it’s depressing.

DV8,

While I agree with the initial sentiment and think there’s definitely issues with the justice system, this isn’t the example. This dude is also rich and more importantly to the court, unrepentant. He’s also misrepresenting what he did. Doxing people isn’t freedom of speech regardless of whether you should like those people.

And intent is extremely important. The Reuzegom people got convicted for something that was an accident. I think we can all agree on that, no? Yes, they’re dumb, rich assholes who could afford expensive lawyers, but it was not their intention to kill someone. Make them really sick, take stupid pictures, sure. And that should matter. What this rich influencer did, he did intentionally to make money. This also matters. Even this he’s using to make money ffs.

For profit, intentional lawbreaking without repentance should be punished harsher than accidents. Even if the consequences of the accident is a LOT more severe.

But these “dumb rich assholes” showed absolutely not one speck of remorse with many of them not even showing up to their trials if I recall correctly. “Accidentally” killing someone and not changing your behavior at all shows that the life had no value and they would do it again if put in a similar situation.

Why should someone exposing these “accidental” killers feel remorse when the killers don’t and get not one single consequence at all because of daddy’s money?

DV8,

But these “dumb rich assholes” showed absolutely not one speck of remorse with many of them not even showing up to their trials if I recall correctly.

That’s just factually incorrect. Whether you believe their statements of remorse and sometimes statements of trauma is something else, but they showed lots of remorse…

The rest of what you say is based on that first false premise so I wonder if you’ll change that opinion when shown what you based it on was wrong…

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t have sympathy for these people. But to claim that this group of richer assholes got preferential treatment over this other rich asshole is silly if you’re willing to look at the facts and the sentence justifications…
