My sympathies to her family and friends.

I'm not saying they should pay for her life.

I think that the killer should have to be there with the family and friends as they grieve, and see what they've done, and do what they can to make things better.

I have no illusions that it will happen.

...and do what they can to make things better.

Well, yeah. Even if the law could force them to be there and see what they've done, one of the few things that they could've done to make it better - STOPPED and called for help, they already passed up. I guess for me it's not necessarily the accident that upsets me so much - I guess I can allow for that to have been one of those truly unfortunate blameless accidents, but at the point where they ran away without helping - that makes it absolutely blamed then, at least for me. I don't think we can make people see the arses they are, no matter how much we might wish we could.

There is nothing they can do to make it better.
Not doing it in the first place was the only thing.
And it's too late for that.
Karma will take care of it for him or her. I believe that.
