   I cannot fathom that Singapore gives only two years for manslaughter for a driver who runs red light and executes for drugs. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/driver-who-ran-red-light-and-killed-14-year-old-boy-in-punggol-accident-jailed-for-two-years

     @tehtarik just in case there is a misunderstanding: drug distribution, not consumption

     @dashrandom sure, it’s just that for criminal negligence leading to death the penalty is lighter than for financial crimes.

     @tehtarik are you saying that drug distribution is a purely financial crime? Would that also make weapons distribution a purely financial crime? Or malware-as-a-service providers?

     @dashrandom my apologies, I wasn’t clear: for fraud you get up to 10 years, for running someone over in a car - 2.

     @tehtarik ah yes, the prioritization of crimes of ownership over crimes of life. A result of the capitalist need to give importance to the means of production rather than the labour used to operate them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     @dashrandom it’s life / capital punishment for murder. I just can’t imagine what the families of road kills feel - someone runs someone over, they take a long holiday and are back behind the wheel.
