It wasn't even an accident, he just killed a cyclist because he wanted to drive on a bicycle path without being, rightfully, called out for it. Bonus points for having his child in his car.

And he wasn’t on drugs or anything, wasn’t a violent dude, he cried stating he didn’t know why he did that.

As if driving a tank made you feel invincible and dumb 🤦🏻🤷🏻‍♂️

He had multiple prior condamnations, he is violent

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He had ? Ok I just read the article above and not more from French news.

[–] pegazz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No problem! And it doesn't remove from your point about cars making us behave differently

Altis made a very informative video about the whole thing

Ah oui merci, I just found the Altis video. I'll watch it tonight.
