So could getting hit by a drunk driver.

There was a case with a 14 year old girl here in Denmark who got hit and murdered by an ex teacher of hers who was super drunk and crashed into her in an intersection -- the impact was so bad it basically blew the bike a part.

And it is the most stupid crime possible to commit, since the upside is so small and the downside so huge.

Personally I would support an instant death penalty for drunk driving if I didn't think it would be abused, so yeah I am okay with somebody not being able to support themselves after murdering a 14 year old girl. I hope the starve themselves to death on the street.

According to Wikipedia, the murder's typical sentence would be for 12 years. This suggests that your legal system believes people can chamge and have their rights restored.

[0] In Denmark manddrab (manslaughter) is the term used by the Danish penalty law to describe the act of intentionally killing another person. No distinction between manslaughter and murder exists. The penalty goes from a minimum of five years (six years in the case of regicide) to imprisonment for life. The standard punishment for manslaughter - i.e. where there are neither aggravating or mitigating circumstances - is 12 years imprisonment.

12 years for killing someone is a complete joke. Kill someone at 26 and get out at 38? Fuck that. Glad I don’t live there.
