So many questions.

Like how is she more afraid of mean grandma than jail? How does she have such a mean grandma but still grow into... that?

Was she raised by a parent or parents who just ruined her then went to live with grandma?

Why do people in these situations not realize the person recording has your face, voice, and plates?

What we’re seeing here is someone having a complex trauma response: someone who is more scared of her Grandma (who she likely lives with), or another member of the household, than she is of the actual police.

This isn’t a normal freak out and panic, I agree that someone ruined her, but it was probably through abuse.

Edit: now that we have full Unicourt Records, it appears that ‘intoxicated and freaking out’ is actually the underlying culprit here. It’s shocking how similar the behavior looks, and hopefully she’s gotten help in the last couple years since her last struggles with the law.

Yes I have cptsd and was able to spot it exactly. People REALLY don't understand how mean her grandma is. This isn't an excuse but I think you have to have cptsd or know about it to "understand" what is going on. I've had years of therapy so I'm not that person anymore but I could have been if I was caught on film younger or caught on film even now but I'd never gone to therapy.

Anyway yeah she's either always this way because of her PTSD or she's being triggered back to being that young. Like another comment said.

She's not behaving rationally and it's not acceptable to drive off like this but it's "understandable" if you can recognize she's having a PTSD breakdown.

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.

u/msheehan418 Aug 21 '26

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

u/ddet413 Aug 21 '26

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"?

u/ddet413 Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26

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.

u/ddet413 Aug 22 '26

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.
