6-12 months, small fine, and 60 hours of community service.
And revoked driving licence during a part of his prison sentence.
Harsh, he won't be able to drive while in prison.
Sounds like that's what really pisses off Americans, not that they're in a jail per se, but that they can't drive while in there.
We're willing to tolerate the threat of abject homelessness as consequence for non-participation in the labor market, but revoking access to a car is seen as cruel and unusual because it makes access to that labor market more difficult.
It's the most hypocritical shit in the universe. We don't take a person's drivers license when they kill someone with their car because we insist on essentially making them homeless if they don't have one.
I honestly don't even get that point. Maybe they won't find a job where they live without owning a car. Then they should just move somewhere where there's jobs closer to their home.
