I hope these women are in court for the trial of that driver.

I hope these women are in court for the trial of that driver.

I wish part of sentencing could be that the perpetrator live the lives in VR of these women in recovery for an hour a day.

  1. He'll probably claim mental health problems and get off with a slap on the wrist. There isn't always justice in the justice system. Some days it feels like they need to back track a few decades and hand out actual punishments for some of this. Getting soft on criminals is how we've arrived at a guy going after Veterans Affairs for help with PTSD based on a murder he committed. He didn't have to beforehand, so it's no excuse for the crime.

  2. Mental health problems used to mean a stint in a mental health institute which I would be ok with. Getting professional help under controlled conditions would be helpful for many and could be part of justice and restitution. It's just not cheap and would be made cheaper by adequate identification and assistance before anyone else is harmed.

  4. Restorative justice, when done correctly, allows victims to place the perpetrator in their shoes to the greatest extent possible, to show them that it is a person you have ravaged, not a world you resent, or a system you oppose.
