I can’t believe I’m being held responsible for my actions!!
If this were a case of a young driver who was driving irresponsibly fast and lost control of the car, killing their friends, that would be one thing. This is a 17 year old who repeatedly threatened her boyfriend with killing him while driving in the weeks before the accident, who made no attempt to avoid/stop ramming at full speed into a large building.
Yeah like, this wasn’t an accident. This was willfully killing someone. If she shot or repeatedly stabbed him, I don’t think you’d see the same sentiment. Something about hitting them with a mass of metal at high speeds is more sympathetic, because death by car strikes us at less violent.
…you don’t think she gave thought to the other people victimized? Even with one of the victims being her own child?
I’d bet my life that she’s put significantly more thought into this than either of us could possibly imagine, and that calling her a narcissist is simply closed-minded and pathetic. She’s a grieving mother ffs.
You should try to be a bit more empathetic. Always assuming the worst in people is no way to live.
And no kidding these people don’t get better in prison. That’s because our prison systems don’t rehabilitate - their only purpose is to punish and generate money.
She’s advocating for this person because she’s able to empathize with them. And her being able to do that doesn’t somehow negate any empathy she has towards the families of the victims - herself included.

I’d be incredibly proud of my mother if she could do that. Not many are capable of having empathy when someone they love is the victim.

So you’re assuming what the mother’s intentions are to fit your own opinion, rather than believing her at her word?
