[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was drinking. They all were drinking. Zero hint of any drugs except for on this page, coming from women who need a pill or two.[/quote] It's truly impressive how some people can turn a tragic event into an opportunity to shame victims rather than seek understanding. Drinking doesn't erase the need for accountability, and the only pill here should be a dose of common sense. If you spent half as much energy on empathy as you do on making excuses, maybe we'd all be a little better off[/quote]

Since both victims were drinking, both victims deserve empathy. Since we can't give it to her, we give sympathy to her family.

Zero excuses.

[/quote] Ah, I see. So now we’re extending empathy to the person under arrest, as if their actions somehow erase the harm caused to others? It’s truly something to witness when people leap straight into victimhood for the suspect while ignoring the very real victims in this situation. If empathy is being offered, it should go to the ones who are no longer here to defend themselves—not to someone who’s being investigated for their role in a tragic event. Maybe the only thing more tragic than what happened is the attempt to make the perpetrator into a victim.[/quote]

If genders were reversed and the male disappeared, no one would investigate at all.

Two drunk college kids went swimming in the ocean at night. Only one came out. [/quote] It’s always convenient to make comparisons when the facts don’t align with your narrative. The gender of the people involved doesn’t change the reality of the situation, and what’s tragic here is that one person is dead and another is under investigation. Let’s not pretend this would be any less of a tragedy if roles were reversed—both victims deserve justice. The focus should be on finding the truth, not turning this into some “what if” exercise about gender. Two drunk college kids went swimming, yes, but only one of them is dead, and that’s where the investigation should stay.[/quote]
