There's one thing I'd like to add though, obvious as it is. Being reckless is a trap we should actively avoid, at the very least if your recklessness can affect someone other than yourself. Avoiding idiocy for 99% of your life still leaves a percentage of it dedicated to idiocy, hence actively avoid, as your best is what you see, but your worst can ruin lives.

"I didn't mean to do it", is the chorus. It's a sentence for all kinds of occasions you didn't mean to happen, whether they affect other lives or not, however serious what happened is. But when it's done, it's done, whatever it is, and the world keeps turning. What happened inevitably has an effect on the world. And there are consequences and everyone must face them. He's faced his (and still is, by being the outcast he sort of is), and whether the consequences should've been more for him could well be true (and I personally think they should've been). He should not have walked away blameless, as I'm sure someone has convinced themselves is my point. I'm not arguing his innocence, I'm arguing yours and your skewed perception of him as a monster.

Yeah, you're not getting it. No matter what you say, how good you think you are, with bad luck you could be a killer. Driving drunk is very obviously reckless and you deeply know it, but there's other sort of reckless behaviour that could have consequences and you've most likely been reckless like that, with or without realizing it, without it having dire consequences.

You could argue this with emotion, judging this specific incident because of the emotional value it carries, but in the end, whether you admit it or not, he's just like you are, with one exception. You're a person who has, at least once in your life, been reckless. He's a person who has been reckless in his life. The difference is his recklessness cost lives. Yours didn't. It's still the same basic concept - recklessness, the same core action you've done, the consequences and the manner of his recklessness are what sets it apart from your reality, skewing your perception of him in relation to yourself.

So please, continue to argue my point with emotion. I know you will. I won't be here to answer you, though.

How many of you have been reckless? Even if you've never driven drunk, have you driven faster than you should? Have you talked on the phone while driving? Have you ever paid less attention to the road than you should? If you've answered yes to any of this, you had the potential to be a "child killer", had there only been a child so unfortunate to be in your way.

And that's just examples of being reckless while driving. There are plenty of opportunities in life to be reckless with other peoples bodies, even though the consequences are seldom dire.

Some of you won't admit to ever having been reckless enough to cause an accident. Chances are you're fooling yourself.

Just had to say this having read some of the comments here. Seems this board is still populated by the occasional wonderbrain.

Caretaker managers don't need a degree until they're "proper" managers, they specify a time though I think so you couldn't keep someone indefinitely by just calling him a caretaker manager. I'm thinking 12 weeks but could be more, could be less. Then managers can get an exemption if they're working towards the Pro License needed.

Anzhi lost their billionare support before the season, sold all their star players and currently find themselves facing relegation, with 8 draws and no win in 19 games. I think it's safe to assume that this is a rumour started by someone who knows nothing of Russian football.
