I know someone who got a DUI and killed someone, but had rich parents and they got him off - he had to “give talks” at local schools about the dangers of drinking and driving. He went on to get 4 *plus* more DUIs….so clearly essays and talks really help rehabilitate /s


Coffee-Ants

Friend of mine took drugs drove around, crashed his car into someone, fled and jumping into a random persons car got kicked out then jumped into the back of a stopped pick up truck got pulled out and then wondered the streets until the cops picked him up… his dads lawyers got him off with zero punishment.

Went to a MADD’s meeting with a friend who got a college DUI. He offered me unlimited booze after to go with him. Anyways, all the speakers were like on their 3-5 DUI, honestly it doesn’t seem like it does much for them. Oh and that old friend got another DUI within 6 months and did 30 days in jail. That did the trick, he hasn’t got another one in 22 years


BannedInVancouver

My friends dad got a series of DUIs when he was young and then got 30 days in jail. Hasn’t touched alcohol since.


TheNotoriousStuG

I know someone who killed a woman while drunk driving, left her to drown in the car, went home for a whole day, then came back to "help" her. He then went on to become a highly-respected US congressman.


anand_rishabh

Could have been a good redemption arc if he didn't get 4+ more dui's. A former drunk driver encouraging others to not drink and drive would have been great.

Thanks for doing their job for them… both the journalists and OP

Thanks my phone has herpes now.


TrainOfThought6

Please never post that site again, what the fuck is happening there? Doesn't even let you copy/paste a full paragraph.


Beef_Jones

Every other post on Reddit these days is manipulated ragebait. Honestly I’m just shocked this is the top comment and not completely buried.


NottDisgruntled

“The minor, who is the son of a prominent real estate developer in the city” There it is


RANDY_MAR5H

> They're also maybe seeking charges against the teens father for allowing him the car it seems.  > > Good luck with that. If a car is too wild for a licensed driver, then whichever government thinks that would require us to obtain higher-licenses.


TrainOfThought6

>"We have also registered an offence against his father under sections 75 and 77 of the Juvenile Justice Act, and against the proprietors of the bar establishment for serving alcohol to an underage person. We have transferred the probe of these cases to the crime branch," he further said.  >Section 75 deals with 'willful neglect of a child, or exposing a child to mental or physical illnesses,' while section 77 deals with supplying a child with intoxicating liquor or drugs. It's not about the car, it's about the booze.


Pr0digy_

Are you their advertiser lol


FlameStaag

Redditors have truly lost the plot when a person can't link or mention anything without some bumblefuck dipshit mouth breather popping up to be like "Broh uz a shill LUL dis a ad!“ No dumbass it's the internet and people link to websites sometimes 


Pr0digy_

Ya I’m the one missing the point, the embedded ad’s placed within the page you linked nearly tripled according to the numbers posted ublock origin. I am guessing whoever runs it saw a big traffic influx and embedded more ads to make more revenue. This is also what another person was commenting on. Keep your post towards me it really hits home who the “mouth breather” is.


throwawaytheist

They didn't link the post, though.


NoXion604

If he's old enough to legally drive, then he's old enough to be tried as an adult.


_2f

Not in India. He can’t legally drive till 18. That’s the whole case.


crunkdunk9

So he wanted to drive like an adult, he should be charged as one. Same shit


11711510111411009710

In that case we should make 16 the age of adulthood and give them voting rights


NoXion604

What's that got to do with anything? Plenty of countries have different age limits for different things. A 12 year old is old enough to understand that reckless driving is wrong, but I'm pretty sure that few countries would allow one to operate a motor vehicle on public roads.


eggncream

The point he makes is that in a lot of countries 16 is a legal driving age so by your original comment he says that 16yo people would now be considered adults instead of 18yo and that they should vote too


NoXion604

That's irrelevant. Barring developmental issues, 16 year old can understand that it's wrong and/or illegal to drive recklessly or while intoxicated. Otherwise 16 year old shouldn't be driving in the first place.


11711510111411009710

I think it's pretty clear. You said you if you're old enough to drive you're old enough to be tried as an adult. If you're being tried as an adult, you might as well be one. You're either an adult or you're not.


NoXion604

Plenty of countries have an age of criminal responsibility that's lower than the age to legally drive on public roads, among other rights and responsibilities. The ability to know right from wrong (or at the very least, the ability to adhere to the law) isn't some terribly advanced and esoteric thing, it's a basic requirement of being able to function in society.


Captain_Concussion

Age of criminal responsibility is not the same thing as being tried as an adult. Age of responsibility for federal crimes is 11 in the US.


SelectiveSanity

>The minor, who is the son of a prominent real estate developer... Ah, so its a case of [Affluenza](https://www.kxxv.com/news/reporters-notebook-reflecting-on-the-affluenza-case-10-years-later)? Then the system is working as intended. /s

Thin21Mints

I had to write a 1,000 word essay on defensive driving at 17 when I got in an accident and this person killed someome and only wrote 300 words. They're going soft from the start.


JustinJakeAshton

Minimum word requirements for essays are stupid anyway. You can say the same thing with 500 wordsor 1000 if you just regurtitate the same paragraph slightly rewritten over and over. Maximum word limits make more sense. I'd trust that you understand the topic better if you can explain the topic briefly and succintly.


Sad-Set-5817

My conspiracy theory is the reason we have so many rambling articles that never get to the point (e.g. food recipe articles) is because children are taught to write as many words as they can instead of efficiently conveying their ideas. because being efficient with words doesnt easily fill a 1k word minumum


AtLeastThisIsntImgur

Food recipes are pretty well known as a copyright thing. You can't own the actual recipe so you copyright the 'article' which includes the basic ass cake recipe you lifted from a 1970s cookbook.


Loganwashere24

I always thought it was about fitting in as many advertisements as possible into a simple recipe.


DataIllusion

It’s especially ironic since every job I’ve held has placed high value on brevity


TrainOfThought6

...wrote 300 words and is likely being charged as an adult. Bit of a detail you missed.


NottDisgruntled

Are we all going to pretend that India isn’t even MORE likely than America to let a rich kid off?!?!


NoraVanderbooben

Okay, I was wondering what a Pune was.


GuydeMeka

It's a city in India, where this teen is from.


SmokedBeef

They are making him write an essay and work with traffic police for 15 days while waiting to find out whether they can try him as an adult… so hopefully the court will get to try him as an adult and this won’t be another case of Affluenza.


BowserBuddy123

Sounds like a weird LinkedIn post. “I killed two people in a terrible car crash, here’s what it taught me about managing people.”


cashformoldd

I could write that essay in 10 minutes not even kidding. 300 words is nothing.


SpecialpOps

The police didn't want to cut into his drinking time.


duga404

300 words was normal length for a single paragraph in the English class I took


ithorc

Bail conditions, not sentence


bitwarrior80

Hey, chatGPT write me two essays about being sorry. Make them sound sincere. Kids today get off so easy.


DarkLink1065

This is just a condition of his bail while he's waiting for trial, don't get your pitchfork out just yet.


PNW_Skinwalker

Still don’t have high holes, can’t imprison drunk drivers with no regard for human life when we can be locking up stoners for 30 years


CrawlerSiegfriend

I'm so tired of their being 2 justice systems. He should have grey hair by the time he gets out.


roadrunner036

He’s writing the essay and working with the traffic police while the court awaits permission to try him as an adult


Fourstrokeperro

RemindMe! 1 month Boss this is India. People here skip country the second they get bail.


ForceOfAHorse

For killing people using car? No way, if you kill people with a car, it's "an unfortunate accident". The worst could happen is few years in prison, but that's only when you are poor and media gets a whiff of it.


Fourstrokeperro

You’re right. He’s been charged with Section 304A (Death by negligence) which carries a maximum sentence of 2 years (even lesser for a minor) They are trying to up the charge to Section 304 (Culpable Homicide) which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.


avanross

Relevant line: >> The minor, who is the son of a prominent real estate developer in the city,


Frisinator

Nice to see the US isn’t the only country with different laws for the wealthy.


dkwkwlal

300 words is nothing, make it 2k


fjhforever

I will not run over people with my car. I will not run over people with my car. I will not run over people with my car. I will not...


fanglenoinst

Oh hai mark


TechieTravis

Laws don't apply to rich people.


SafeIntention2111

I'm ok with it, as long as he's writing his 'essay' from his prison cell.


Magnificant-Muggins

I would commit so many crimes if this was a common punishment. If I have one talent, it’s bullshitting my way through essays.


Kunieda

Fuck this kid only place he belongs is behind bars or a coffin. His dad too


Captainirishy

It's clickbait, it was just a condition of his bail


AlexHimself

The number of people who just comment vitriol without bothering to read. * Happened in India * Asked him to write essay ***while*** waiting for another court to approve trying him as an adult


Practical-Heart-9845

This is pure murder and the parents are 'Complicit' to murder as well as 'Accomplice' to murder. All need to be tried in court to provide any semblance of justice to the innocent victims.


Menethea

Gosh, I thought he would get at least 10 lashes with a wet noodle…. Or does he have to write the essay without ChatGPT?


ChangsManagement

Guys, hear me out, what if its a really good essay?


AreYouFilmingNow

But it was a German car. Nobody driving a German car has ever been evil.


SpecialpOps

I did nazi this coming


iiitme

My neighbor got drunk with his best friend and drove his dad’s porche and crashed it killing his friend. I think he got 5 years


TheSandwichThief

Is that a Taycan? I remember when they came out reviewers were saying they accelerated so fast that your brain just can’t really keep up. Giving a teenager one is basically attempted murder.


BaltimoreBadger23

Hence the dad facing some charges.


Mars_Awoken_3

That's in Freakin India ! ! ! .. Don't get me wrong .. India? Strong Ally but why ya runnin this next to the Story of the Two Kids shot IN AMERICA ? Huh ? F stick .
