[–] Anoncow@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Reading the article, the driver seems to have purposely accelerated into the building with the intention to kill her boyfriend. Both are shitty but I would think this is worse permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cnut@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago* (2 children) One teenager chose to drive drunk and he killed 4 people. This teenager got in a fight with her boyfriend (presumably) and killed 2 people. Can you explain what's worse? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 years ago Intent. Driving drunk is absolutely stupid and anyone who does should be punished. The kids a shithead and deserved about 10 times more the prison sentence he got, but he did not start the night planning to kill 4 people with his friends. It was an accident, completely and absolutely preventable and one he is solely responsible for and should have gone to prison for his negligence, but an accident. This girl told her boyfriend she would kill him this exact way. She had this planned. She drove by that same place earlier. She got in that car knowing it was going to to end the way it did. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Wollff@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago Of course. That's easy. Only one person in those examples intended to kill someone, and then followed through with the plan. Murder is worse than unintentionally killing and hurting people through negligence. It's really easy to explain. permalink fedilink source parent
