You're going to paint this guy as an absolute monster who doesn't care for the people and the families and just cares about himself??
Did you want him to not take responsibility and plead not-guilty?
And maybe I am 100% wrong and this guy is a sick #### who really has no remorse for his actions... but somehow I don't believe it. He did the right thing pleading guilty and taking responsibility for this under these circumstances.
And I know there are plenty of posters here that do feel empathy for the trucker, myself included, but that doesn't mean they are remorseless people who condone his mistake, or that they don't feel the sheer heart splitting sadness for these boys and their families.
