Let’s talk about accountability—or, in this case, the complete lack of it. A man plows into seven people while doing a high-speed burnout at an illegal car meet. He’s rushed to the hospital, treated for his injuries, and then what? Does he go straight to jail, where he belongs? No. Instead, he’s simply handed a court notice and set free. The man is set to appear in court on the 29th of April.
And it gets worse. The so-called “spectators” who stood by and cheered on this reckless stunt? Not a single one of them has been charged under anti-hoon laws. And those who decided to take justice into their own hands by beating the driver senseless? No charges for them either. What kind of message does this send? But to be fair to police invesgations are ongoing and more chargers are likely.
