The mother of the woman killed is trying to understand why the man's
skin colour should be a factor in the sentence given his flagrant
carelessness in operating the car. So am I.

 And he was violating a parole curfew just by being out that night.
 

Which the judge dismissed as "irrelevant" for no comprehensible reason.

It's shit like this that pushes people to vigilantism.
 

It would in most countries but this country only rarely rises to anger, at least in significant numbers. As a wise man once said: "When all is said and done, more will be said than done." We tend not to even do a lot of saying except in places that are safely ignored like YouTube comments.
