Yes. Thank you for saying so. I felt sorry for her.

The woman was intoxicated and panicked because she knew the consequences she was going to face. Rather than face up to her actions, she decided to flee. And you feel sorry for her? That's wild.

I didn’t feel sorry for her for that. It was the statement about her grandma, also, it would suck to be filmed by a stranger at your worst. Many of us have behaved in a way we wouldn’t want plastered all over the internet

But all that being said, I do think she should be held accountable

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I hope she looks back at this video as a reminder to walk the straight and narrow. She's lucky it was a vehicle that she hit, and not a human being.

For sure. Like I said, I think she should be held accountable for her actions but I also see this as a trauma response. She was more scared of her grandma than the police

I guess that's where we differ. I see this as an irresponsible and entitled human that feels as though they aren't accountable for their actions. The article states that she hit multiple vehicles and sped off at high speeds.

Unless her grandma was going to straight up unalive her for her actions, I couldn't fathom thinking your mean grandma yelling at you is worse than facing the full extent of the law. But I guess we're calling pretty much anything trauma in this day in age.

She's very much alive btw, since she's been convicted of another crime since then: https://unicourt.com/case/ca-orr1-sebach-riley-ann-160851#case-details

I guess the didn't learn to walk the straight and narrow, after all. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Why do u think she was afraid of her grandma "yelling at her"?

Who knows, maybe her grandma gives a real stern talking to. But she lived to see another day after this incident, as seen above by the fact that she is currently defending against a petty theft charge. Maybe if she didn't do POS things her grandma would be nicer to her. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

She knew the consequences of grandma, but you dont. So who are u to judge unless you know her grandma.

I'm strictly judging this woman based on her actions to ingest intoxicants and operate a motorized vehicle, which of course, is against the law. Her actions were reckless and dangerous, and the outcome could have easily been far worse had she severely injured someone. Grandma didn't do any of that, she did.

If you are defending this behavior, then you are what's wrong with this society.
