I hadn't read about that, aussie. Very sad story. I hope the woman's children pull through and have a lot of family support.
The 15 year old driver might not have done any or much time here in the U.S. either. We had an underage teen who was driving illegally, wasted off his ass, when he mowed down and killed several people on the side of the road a couple of years ago. He got sentenced to rehab and probation. A couple of months back, he violated his probation and fled the country with his mom. When he gets extradited back from Mexico, due to his age at the time of the crimes, he may not do more than a couple of months in a juvenile facility and go back on probation.
I just read about a 26 year old father ^ who was one of several people that stopped to help a man who'd spun off the road in a storm. The stranded driver was belligerent, so the group decided to call police to come deal with the situation. That's when the stranded driver pulled out a gun and shot the good samaritan dad multiple times. He died at the scene, and the shooter was arrested for murder. RIP Jeff Heaver.
