Soft-on-crime judges are at the point where they decide that the biggest punishment for killing a family of four is the weight of one’s conscience, and not any real punishment that secures justice for the victims and creates deterrence for future criminals.

The case in question took place in San Francisco. In March of 2024, 80-year-old Mary Fong Lau crashed her car into a couple and their two young children, killing all four of them. Lau was driving on the wrong side of the road at 70 miles per hour, crashing into and killing the family as they waited at a bus stop.
