Yeah, similar thoughts. People fuck up, make terrible mistakes through stupidity or bad luck or whatever and end up killing people and the best thing for society as a whole is rehabilitation and forgiveness.

That said, if it was one of my family, I'd be campaigning for the driver to have "my negligence killed two people" tattooed on their forehead so they never, ever get to forget the damage they have done
