Nah, if I killed a family of 4 due to my negligence, I would absolutely deserve to face justice and owe that justice to my victims.

This was not a freak accident outside of her control. She made the choice to drive recklessly and endangered others' lives, resulting in their deaths, which she is responsible for. Otherwise, she wouldn't be guilty of manslaughter at all. Accidents are not the same as negligence.

Characterizing justice as "bloodthirsty" is ridiculous and you look foolish.

I understand that conservatives lack empathy and compassion for others, so your brain only operates at a depth of "but what about if I commit manslaughter one day??? I shouldn't be held accountable for my choices!!!" but welcome to society, we bear responsibilities to each other.
