minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•3 months agoMurder. You’re not going 75mph in a 25mph zone and trying not to kill people. Doesn’t matter whether there was a specific target in mind.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•3 months agoIf you do it in a car it’s all good. Evidently if you get killed by a speeding hunk of metal, it’s really important to differentiate between the different sizes.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•3 months agoDriving 75mph in a 25mph zone is malicious and indicates intent to kill people.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•3 months agoNo, that’s not how intent works. What it shows is recklessness.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•3 months agoMaybe that’s not how it works by your definition of intent, but it certainly is how it works in mine.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•3 months agoI don’t think fuckery after-the-fact can change whether you intended to kill someone.
Manslaughter. But yeah, fuck this guy.

I’m just using the legal definition.
