Honestly.. How much of a monster do you have to be to hit someone with your car and not think to stop and help them..
Last place I lived had an incident where a driver taking a left turn ran onto the curb and over a rather obese guy. Driver decided to try and flee, but his front tires were off the ground on account of the guy he just ran over
So the driver did what many drivers do: Rocked the car back and forth to get away. Got off the guy after a couple tries and ran off. Coroner's report stated his medical opinion was the victim would have lived if the driver had stopped the car and helped, and that the victim died due to organ damage suffered from the rocking back and forth
The driver was sentenced to ~9 months in jail, out after ~6 months. His license was suspended for a year. People like that should never drive again, but he argued without a license, he couldn't work and if he can't work, he won't be able to pay the civil penalties to the victim's family (spoiler: He won't be able to pay them either way)
isnt there an uplifting news community somewhere on lemmy.. god damn dude
