    You can’t put someone in jail for what ifs. That’s now how justice works.

    All of those things are why she lost her job and her license, but not a reason to go to jail.

    If those things happened, then sure, reckless homicide. But they have to actually prove real harm to put someone in prison. That’s a good thing.

      You definitely can.

      There are driving speed limit because it is potentially dangerous. So you get the punishment even if you don’t have any accident. same with driving under the influence, stop signs etc

      Try to commit fraud, murder and any number of actual crimes and it’s the same thing.

        That’s what I was thinking yea. Planning to rob a bank and buying a mask is enough to be tried. She actively planned AND went through the act of endangering someone’s health for her own political beliefs.
