    takes notes

    If the person they hit was a billionaire or a cop, that would change things, right? Or no?

      Cardoso de Oliveira, an executive at Apple, and his family were waiting for a bus in San Francisco’s West Portal neighborhood before a trip to zoo when Lau ran them over at a reportedly high rate of speed

      The victim was actually an Apple executive and their family.

        Dans certains cas, être cadre chez Apple ne suffit pas :

        Prendre le bus est mal vu aux États-Unis…

        Vos routes et vos réseaux de transport sont un véritable calvaire

        Et vos voitures de 3 mètres de haut… 🤷‍♀️

          Hva faen snakker du om? Og hvorfor svare på et annet språk som ikke engang er nevnt i tråden? Herregud, franskmenn tror de er overlegne…

    Can’t you read? It says Mercedes. They were driving a Mercedes. You can’t possibly expect them to lock up a person who drives a Mercedes. That’s like arresting a BMV driver. Inconceivable!

    I remember a similar story from ~40 years ago, also in California. A man took out a family of four riding their bikes at the side of the road in Napa Valley.

    It looks as if her sentencing was based on her old age and evident remorse. But I still think she should have had a short stint in prison, around six months.
