And it may sound callous, but I'd say to allow her to finish what she attempted. She obviously does not wish to live, and she's also a danger to others. Why keep someone alive if all they're going to do is cause and endure suffering? Right to choose to die FTW.

If she's truly suicidal, the best punishment is to make her keep on living, and make her life even worse than it was previously. Which is, more of less, what they're doing.

Suicide is often selfish, but this case is even more selfish. Wow.

Yet at the same time, I don't like causing suffering for the purpose of causing suffering.

....No, I don't think so. Sometimes people who are suicidal do not exhibit any visible signs until they're dead.

When I said wussification, I meant it for all of the poor saps out there believing that her parents are to blame instead of believing that she herself is to blame. I'm assuming she was a licensed motor vehicle operator because the article in the link never said she wasn't. So with that, she had legal responsibility and probable permission (unless she stole the car from her parents or another person) to operate the motor vehicle.

If she wanted to kill herself, she should have driven off of a bridge or driven into a wall somewhere or shot herself in the head or hung herself or slit her throat or any of the other various ways people commit suicide. She didn't have to injure and kill any others in the process.

The person that should pay is the 16-year-old herself. Hopefully she pays with her life and not her parents' money because her parents didn't do this - she did.

BAN...NOW

Umm, that's why i said "NOT"... but whatever gives you a boner.

Actually, nothing gives me a boner. You and I both know you edited your original comment smart guy

Is that why you quoted me with the "NOT"? If there's one thing to give you a boner for sure, its postcount +++ :laugh:

Once again, in a civil case, thigns aren't so black and white.
One could aregue (urgh..I wouldn't say suc ha thing) that childhood trauma or neglect on the part of the parents led to her actiosn and that htye are indirectly responsible for the incident.


Either way, from what I read, the general consensus is that she is responsible for her actions and that lawyers might twist things in a civil case.

Give me a break. It's the daughter's fault. Not her parents. Maybe some day in this world, people will be held responsible for their own actions.

The the legal guardians, and its not so much that she won't take responsibility, but as a matter ofa law, the parents fall under the umbrella of responsibility and in this case are open to [ 'OMFG THEY ARE GOING TO ABSOLUTELY DESTROY US IN THE COURT"] litigation

so the parents can be sued even though the girl is being tried as an adult? hmmmm

We probably agree that such a thing is below us, below many, and should be below all.

Opertunists abound however, and the odds are high that the parents will be targeted.

We can be noble and hoenst with ourselves all we want, but by no means do our own beliefs govern or dictate the perogatives of the greedy.

They need to keep this 16 yr old alive as long as possable. F giving her what she wants and killing her. Make her suffer. Make her suffer as long as those children do without a mother and as long as the father does without a wife. I say solitary for life and keep her alive as long as you can. I dont mind paying for this b!tch to rot. Every day I want her to think of the pain she caused. Who cares if shes suicidal after a while of living wanting to die, knowing you will never leave a cell except for 1 hr a day, knowing you took the life of a mother and ruined the life of the father and kids, shes gonna have a big mental break anyway.

LET HER ROT!

Solitary for life I agree. With a HUGE picture of the poor lady she killed and a picture of the family grieving at the funeral over her DUMB A$$ actions.

Did this b*tch really not think that she MIGHT injure someone else? Why couldn't she just OD or jump off a cliff? Stupid b*tch is looking for attention thats why.

While I agree with you, I do sympathize mainly with those who were innocently harmed. The mother and kid had nothing to do with this.

Oh yeah, let's all sympathize with the retard lesbian twit that endangered the lives of two others because she's "confused" and not with the child who will now grow up without her mother or even the mother herself. What a crock of sh!t :roll:

EDIT: And she killed herself because she was rejected, not because she was lesbian. Being rejected warrants a YAGT, not failing miserably at taking your own life and taking the life of another innocent human instead.

It's aidanjm, what do you expect? He's got serious mental issues. For some reason he abandons all rationality the moment something remotely touches his cause.

I mean, why care about a dead mother and children? They're straight, after all; surely not worthy of sympathy. They probably had it coming for not taking a stand against homophobia.

uh, yeah, when I saw that in the first line of the story that was the first thing that came to mind. I think a big Mercedes sedan would be at the top of my list of choices if I was going to go deliberately wreck a car at a very high rate of speed and hope to walk away from it.

And she probably did walk away from it, I would bet that the crutches in the courtroom are mostly for show. Everything coming out of her lawyer's mouth is damage control bullsh!t.

Psst, your agenda is showing.

Like no guy has ever killed himself after being turned down by a girl (or vice-versa).

This has absolutely nothing to do with gay, yet of course you would leap to make the association.
