      I’m not apologising for shit, I just don’t believe in the fluffing death penalty. I do firmly believe that perpetrators of vehicular manslaughter should never be able to hold a license again as part of their sentence, so that kinda solves your hypothetical.

      Edit: Let me remind you that the punishment for first degree murder in Victoria is only 30 years. I’d prefer to err on the side of leniency than end up like the US.

        Many criminals still drive even without a licence. Taking someone’s licence does not always solve the problem.

          AND THE DEATH PENALTY IS THE SOLUTION TO THAT?!

          Edit: That has the same energy as “Criminals will keep stealing bread, so let’s send them to a land far, far away from here.” Like, the punishment has to fit the crime.

            You’re arguing against something I never said. I’m against the death penalty. I just don’t think taking someone’s licence necessarily solves the problem.
