Darryl Anderson was drunk behind the wheel of his Audi SUV, had his accelerator pressed to the floor and was barreling toward a car ahead of him when he snapped a photo of his speedometer. The picture showed a car in the foreground, a collision warning light on his dashboard and a speed of 141 mph (227 kph).
An instant later, he slammed into the car in the photo. The driver, Shalorna Warner, was not seriously injured but her 8-month-old son and her sister were killed instantly, authorities said. Evidence showed Anderson never braked.
Anderson, 38, was sentenced Tuesday to 17 years in prison for the May 31 crash in northern England that killed little Zackary Blades and Karlene Warner. Anderson pleaded guilty last week in Durham Crown Court to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
Yes.
It’s funny how Christians cling to the “eye for an eye” thing, even though the Bible specifically says that it is unjust, and implores on to “turn the other cheek” (Sermon on the mount).
But spiteful Christofacists like you (presumably, given your endorsement of old testament barbarism) never actually follow the loving forgiving attitude taught by Jesus, they just want to stone people to death.
The people today who line up at the sidelines to cheer on the worst possible outcomes for their enemies are no different in attitude from those people who gathered in the streets to cast stones at an accused criminal, in hopes that you get to participate in their demise.
If your view of justice is based on vengeance, you don’t believe in justice at all.

First of all, if you’re not religious, maybe don’t live by regressive Old Testament belief systems.
Second of all, calling someone who killed a child in a car accident a “child killer” is disingenuous, not because he didn’t kill a child, but because such terminology is generally reserved for people who kill children in wonton acts of violence, not by accident.
Third of all this:
This is just a right wing reactionary murder fantasy. Reported.
