-A man in his 30sã…‹ã…‹
-He should serve a prison sentence.
-He should be punished properly.
-If anything, that thing should be taken away and its family would be the ones who hit the jackpot.
-What kind of life has someone lived to be able to think like that?
-He committed a crime without thinking? Sure. He's a criminal.
-Do people like that even have families?
-It's amazing how his first thought after reading the news of an accident where people died in it is about money.
-I hope karma bites him in the ass.
-It's not a jackpot, it's a tragedy. If you were born as a human, you should at least have some respect for life.
-No thoughts, just living like a cockroach... So disgusting.
-They should make him read this in front of his parents.
-"Without thinking"... is that supposed to be an excuse?
-His identity should be revealed so he can be publicly humiliated.
-Have at least a minimum level of humanity. You're not an animal.
