Just think of it this way. Had he pulled over to address the loose tarp issue instead of staring at it in a side mirror, we aren't having this conversation.
I get that some feel 8 years for this is too much which is why i asked...what is the right sentence then?
As for the deportation aspect, I was under the impression its automatic for non-residents if sentenced to more than a year...though I may be completely wrong on that. Either way if i was in another country and my negligence/mistake led to the death of a bunch of their citizens, I wouldn't expect to be allowed to stay there.

I don’t have an issue with 8 years. Part of the system is to punish people. I just disagree that there is any deterance in this sentence. It purely is retribution.
