Teen's Twitter After Mowing Down Grandma

[Childs]

Well she is cute so she gets a pass. Not sure I would be as forgiving if she looked like a b***h. There is no good way to use Twitter. She could have apologized to the victims family and they would have complained it wasn't in person. I dont get why people don't just set this up so that only friends can view your tweets. But then I dont get the need to express every little thought I have to anyone who might want to hear it. The irony of using a forum to express this opinion doesnt escape me.

You're like the wet, smelly fart that lingers in a crowded room. It is annoying.

those type tend to linger in the pants too :sneaky:

hey you better watch out though or <redacted> will <redacted> this <redacted> down for <redacted>

 

[AmdEmAll]

Im confused.. is that twitter pic suppose to be what the brains of the grandma look like now??

 

[highland145]

Wait...were there reindeer involved?

 

[Vapid Cabal]

At least she wasn't drunk driving

 

[IkebotXP]

I fail to see the issue, but then again no one asked me.

 

[foghorn67]

this is incredibly offensive

To who, you? How would that offend you? Are you related to the dearly departed?

 

[Fritzo]

Already covered on page 3.

Yeah, I wasn't reading the whole thread.

So she's supposed to just end her life because she was involved in a an accident? Gees. Yeah it sucks she hit someone, but accidents happen.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Well she can always take a selfie at the funeral.

 

[surfsatwerk]

Well she can always take a selfie at the funeral.

Only if she does a solemn and respectful duckface.

It's not like she went to a party, got fucking drunker then heck and drove and killed someone and then came to brag about how she got drunk at a party and drove home.

Since there's no commentary I don't know what the point of the thread is, but I see a few things.

First, something tragic that no one would have had happen. That's the primary impact on me.

Second, that people cope with stress in ways which attempt to approximate normalcy. That's a natural human reaction and that's what the girl did. There's nothing wrong with that.

Third, that people who have had a loved one who has been injured or killed, especially in such a tragic circumstance are going to be angry and lash out. That's also a natural reaction and to be expected.

Fourth, news agencies will take such a sad tale and blow it up to get play. That's what they do. They take suffering and troll. I do find that repulsive behavior.

Fifth, there are going to be people who will always take up the troll and jump in never considering that they have been played. Well, that's on them.

Other various and sundry things, but these are what I take home from it all.

Outrage not found.

I'm actually confused why more people don't take exception to this. I don't know what she should be doing, but I really don't think tweeting about food is it.

This encapsulates the problem with society in my opinion. No one seems to mind that this girl has moved on after one day when she totally devastated a family. She killed someone and doesn't seem to give a shit. Even if she didn't feel anything, which is sociopathic for sure, posting about it, which is basically saying it out loud, is another level of apathy that normal people would know to avoid... even for a 19 year old. I distinctly remember a similar situation happened to a friend when we were 16 and I am sure no one was focused on food the next day.

Look I get the point - but what is the dumb bitch supposed to do exactly? Is there an allotted amount of time that the stupid wise and beautiful woman should be suffering? After such allotted time is consumed then she can go outside and play again?

It's absolutely dumb to say "Oh my god! She is having a good holiday time 2 days after accidentally running over a grandma! The least she can do is wait a week!"

It makes no sense. She is a dumb bitch teenage driver. Plus, I don't know the story, but I'm confused as to why she isn't receiving a penalty (jail time?) if the grandma had the right-of-way?

 

[SP33Demon]

Not seeing the outrage at somebody saying they need to clear their head after doing something stupid yet accidental nonetheless. It wasn't as if she was Ms.Anthony who had just murdered her baby and went to go celebrate by drinking it up at a party.

Since there's no commentary I don't know what the point of the thread is, but I see a few things.

That's because, when I first read the article, I was sucked in to the "outrage." But then, when reading the comments underneath, I saw the other side quite clearly. So I decided to post this w/o any guiding commentary, to let the posters here decide for themselves. I felt we'd see passionate conclusions on both sides of the issue. I wasn't disappointed.

Well and comprehensively put. :thumbsup:

Like I said, upon first reading of the article, I, too, was sucked into the news troll "outrage." Luckily, I read the appended comments before posting, which helped me see past that.

That girl may be vapid and uncaring, but her tweet does not prove that. Like you said, it looks more like a coping mechanism than anything else.

More and more, gotcha journalism panders to our crudest instincts. The entirely ridiculous, faux controversy over Obama at Mandela's funeral proves this. In that OT thread, which devolved into a right wing baboon howl of idiot outrage, rudeguy got sucked in but later saw the light and apologized. sixone never will. Ugly is as ugly does.

For a "faux controversy", there doesn't seem to be much of a lack of volunteers howling their own idiot outrage.

You can call it "faux", but actions speak louder than words.

Yes they do, but yours aren't saying what you think they do.

I'd suggest you quit while you're behind, but I know you never will. You can't. Not having the last word, no matter how ridiculous, is beyond you.

Evidently they are, since you felt the need to call me out over it.

Is that nonsense just a vehicle for the last word, or do you actually believe that's a logical and conclusive statement?

Not that I know which would be worse :\

Me and Perky go way back. I don't foresee either of us having the last word anytime soon.

Would this be vehicular manslaughter? How is it she can afford to be out of jail pending bond? BTW, I didn't read anything other than what the OP posted.

No, Affluenza its a new epidemic now in the USA. She should be released on probation due to the illness.
