of the reports about her taking drugs. Not defending the guard at all btw but can only imagine how difficult a train guards job can be on a weekend night. The way I see it is she was acting the fool, just like I see kids crossing the road and slowing down when they see a car approaching forcing driver to slow down, id feel sorry for the driver if they hit such people, but I guess the guard no matter how frustrated he was with the girl should not have told the driver to start up the train again even IF he had asked her to move Yes not brilliant but what would you rather? A person getting of relatively scot free for causing the death of another through negligence. Also how many people do you think a year commit a crime like this? I doubt they'll be crowding the prisons as you suggest. I don't think he should get off 'scot free'. But do you really think he doesn't aready suffer? He's lost his job and his family will suffer poverty as a result. They'll also lose him for an extended period. That is on top of his personal anguish. If death by negligence is 5 years then what is injury or disablement? How many working people could be said to have a responsibility for the welfare of the public in the way they do their job? Nearly everyone! Many parents didnt want me out all night either
