And why does the make and model of the vehicle matter at all.
More black-on-white violence. Systemic?

Interesting how a UK paper would describe the unchristian response as “very satisfying” and thus promote an antichristian ideology of unforgiveness. While understandable in human terms, it ultimately degrades the family of the victims when they harbor hatred or vengeance in their hearts, and one can hope they will be able to let that go, particularly if the wrongdoer is sincere in their penitence. None of this has any bearing on the sentencing or punishment to be meted out, in any case.
I think, that driver possibly could have found some forgiveness, had she not just driven away and left him to die like wounded roadkill.
To knowingly slam your car into somebody, then hit the gas, not bothering to even look back was a sincere expression of her dehumanizing hatred.
It was as though she was out ‘hunting’ certain kinds of people, and was now satisfied, having scored one ‘kill’.
Curious if Tesla has copies of the deleted videos ?
It’s always the boo-hoo with these types. After the fact while in court. Pushes the harsh childhood and stuff like that killer of that seven year old girl, his mom says rough childhood. It was a rough time for that girl.
When someone asks us for forgiveness, our very salvation is at stake in how we answer.
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[a]
23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[b] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[c] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” Matthew 18:21-35
The perp should have instead asked God for His forgiveness as IT matters, where as forgiveness by the victims family changes nothing.
The picture of the victim is heartbreaking. You can tell how much he loved that poor little boy, now with no daddy
When I encounter cars passing within an intersection to gain an advantage I think “didn’t they tell you in your license test you can’t do that?”
As if they cared.
It shows why the law was written that way.
As if she cares about traffic laws.
Hard as we humans may think, forgiveness. GOD says WE MUST FORGIVE, to be forgiven. Charley’s wife did just that, she forgave Charley’s killer. Hard to do. But each must come to a hard decision, but you must forgive.
She tried to get away with her careless murder/manslaughter. God will forgive her if she is truly repentant. But it doesn’t seem like she has a repentant heart, cause after the event, she tried to hide it.. Ten years is better in jail, and she needs to pay off funeral expenses for victim, and help for the kid.
hit him at speeds of around 66mph, an arrest warrant said.
The impact of the collision sent him flying approximately 155 feet into the air.
Somehow, I do not think he flew 155 feet into the air.
He very well could have been thrown 155 feet from the collision, but not into the air.
Tragic, regardless, and the family did right - “NO, WE DO NOT FORGIVE YOU”.
The Christian thing would be to forgive her. Maybe they’re not Christian.
People don’t understand justice makes forgiveness possible.
Jesus died for all our sins, first. Justice was served. First.
Jutice allows forgiveness.
True justice, not woke kumbaya justice where people escape actual consequences.
