Help Me With Dutch Law

Either it's an accident or not, killing a whole familly and getting only a few years in jail is *not* right.

Furthermore, a lot of these 'accidents' happen because someone did drive while being drunk or on drugs, or was trying to run an illegal race, or some other crap like that. That's a total lack of respect for other citizens, and it deserve a serious punishment.

And when you drive in a urban surrouding, you're supposed to drive more carefully than ever.
But yeah, things like that may happen. Though there's a difference between killing someone when you are respecting the rules/laws, and when you are outlaw.

I like to say that if you want to kill many people here, try to kill them all before someone catches you, be fast, because then you get those 20 years only once. If you miss one of 500 persons, you will have to kill him 20 years later and get punishment of another 5 years, so be fast.

You see? Indonesia has a good law system. Do somthing bad, you don't have a chance to do it again buddy. Instead though, we have the socialistic pinkos of society forcing upon "rehibilitation" and "prisoners rights" LET ME TELL YOU SOMTHING: CRIMINALS DON'T REHIBILITATE! They never have, and they sure as hell never will. So by keeping Rapists, pedophiles, druggies, etc alive you are risking the lives of innocent people.

Yeah, lets execute all those reefer smoking druggies! Hang em high boys! YeeHaw!

While we are at it, why not chop peoples' hands off for stealing, or how about public floggings for burglars!? No? Letting them off easy am I?

Well, you're wrong there. I have a friend who drove drunk (not plastered, but over the legal limit) about 15 years ago. He caused an accident that caused another person to be crippled for life. He served jail time, but is out now. He has a respectable job and has not once even considered driving drunk since, and never will again.

He is completely rehabilitated and is no danger to society. In fact, he contributes more to society than many people who have never been convicted of a crime, IMO.

So, is this the kind of guy you propose we should execute because he is "IMPOSSIBLE TO REHABILITATE?"

May I ask how long he spent in prison?

I believe his sentence was 5 years, but as he was an ideal inmate with no criminal history and very low risk of reoffending, he was out in a little less than three.
