JUSTICE

Good evening Bloggets. Hub and I are having a debate about something featured in our news. A man in the UK today has been given ten years behind bars for driving a truck and killing four people. So, if you don’t know the story, let me tell you what happened.

 

A lorry driver was driving at speed when he decided to scrolled down his music list on his phone, only one hour after he signed an agreement with his boss that he wouldn’t use a mobile phone whilst driving.

 

A camera in his truck showed his eyes were almost closed whilst looking down for seven seconds to his music choice! It was then when he plunged into a car, crushing it to a third of its size. Killing a Mother and three children.

 

So, he got ten years today. My Husband thinks that he should have got longer. Me, I’m indecisive on the matter. 1 he didn’t go out to purposely kill anyone and 2, he already has a lifetime sentence with the knowledge of what he has done. My Husband says he should get a lifetime because he has taken four lives, but he didn’t take a gun to them, yes he drove irresponsibly a killing machine and gosh, yes he has destroyed so many lives, not only those he killed but those around the family who loved the poor people who died. But he got ten years and hopefully he will never drive again and for sure he won’t work as a lorry driver as well as his life will be changed forever now. So, I think ten years is enough, and I pray that it will make people think about using their phones in the car, and it’s not only about using your phone for making and receiving calls, but all the extra things you can do on them now days.

 

Some people think because they are not talking on their phone, so they will be OK, well let this story be a lesson?

 

In Leeds in the UK today, a road was closed to the public because of a huge amount of motor bikes and scooters driving up and down the road at speed. Helicopters were used to track the trouble as well as all other emergency vehicles. Firstly, how much has this cost our services, and secondly the bikes were recorded for social networks, so these people have not killed anyone, but to me what they did was worse than the above lorry driver. He was obviously a stupid arrogant man. Whereas these bikers set off to cause disruption. They will get a fine. Not enough in my opinion.

 

Now this story is horrific. A Mother and Father of a tiny baby didn’t collect the treatment the child was meant to receive so neglect, right? Well the baby had bite marks on her. It was said in court today that the baby died and it was shown that the baby had ointment rubbed on her and put in front of the gas fire which was turned up high so that the baby would warm up and look like she had died much later than she actually did. What did they get? Four and a half years and six and a half years. This makes me furious. Sick to the stomach. For me, they should be given life. They did what they did because they wanted to. They planned everything. She will be out as will he within ten years and have more children, to kill them too? It’s so very wrong. Our justice system is wrong.
