Truck driver who killed animal rights activist gets off with $2k fine Ontario

Russell's parents were also present and delivered emotional victim impact statements.

"Her caring nature was why she was at Fearmans that unforgettable day," Russell's mother, Pat, said."Her concern, not only for those animals, but for people everywhere." Blake was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine, attend 12 months probation, and not to operate a motor vehicle except for travel to and from work.

The offence carries a fine of between $2,000 and $50,000, imprisonment for a term of up to two years, and suspension of a driver's license or permit for up to five years. Following the verdict outside the courthouse, Regan's father, Bill Russell, said,"I think justice for Regan is going to have to be changed. I think it's going to be justice by Regan with all the animal rights converts she's made who haven't known her and who are carrying her torch.", has also been set up in memory of her life and impact.

And nothing about this protestor who knowingly put her life in grave danger by stepping in front of a truck (who was trying to swerve around the protestors) in an attempt to stop the truck.

Truck driver was trans that's why so low

$2000 dollars for a human life, that’s it?!

These courts are a joke. The judge should be banned for life

Empathy for the driver.

WTF?!

💩

Trucker pleads guilty in carless driving deathA truck driver has pleaded guilty to careless driving causing the death of an animal rights activist. Sad that the charges made it this far - the driver was doing his job while careless “protestors” put themself at risk and one paid the ultimate price. For a second, I thought the police cruiser was floating 🤣 Hopefully the truck was able to deliver without any incident. It would be a shame if any of that meat went to waste.
