I think we all realize that the driver never intended to cause any harm to anyone but his carelessness unfortunately cost a lot of people their lives. On one hand I do sympathize somewhat with the driver as he's probably not a bad person but on the other hand I feel anyone that gets behind the wheel of a vehicle has a responsibility to ensure that they are obeying the laws and paying attention at all times as vehicles are deadly weapons in the hands of those not driving responsibly. I think this goes for anyone, including those driving around on city streets bobbing their head up and down as they read and send texts. I got no issues with people like this facing extremely stiff sentences if their carelessness with a vehicle take the lives of innocent people. Give them 20 years for all I care. They all know the laws before they get in the car and drive away.
