[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The arrested driver is a 22 year old who was at the hospital and “walked away from her family.” Sounds like she may have been the patient, maybe in crisis (mental, drugs?). The “elderly” woman was only 55 years old!

I love the constant speculation that only and always tried to find a way to absolve this person of responsibility. Why not just wait for and rely on the facts? [/quote]

Why are you so invested in a narrative that says this woman is an unrepentant monster?  What do you gain from closing your mind off to the (pretty reasonable) possibility that she was not in her right mind?[/quote].

NP. I don't care. She killed someone, and Kayla Kenisha Brown needs to be taken out of society forever, be it in a classic prison or -- if "not in her right mind" -- then she needs to be locked up forever in one of the few remaining high security psychiatric facilities.  ala John Hinckley.

Can't wait to see the toxicology report [/quote]

Disagree, condolences to the family. But clearly the young 22 year old woman needs substance help, recovery and we need to know what the drug is. It's also possible she has mental health issues. No one should be caged for life, I prefer the European model. [/quote]

This.  She needs help, not a cage.[/quote]

She needs to be involuntarily committed to an institution where she cannot get out to hurt someone else.  She needs to stay in that facility until she is no longer a threat to anyone else, even if that means being committed for life.  Obviously with Hinckley, he was able to show that he was no longer a threat and was released, but she should be committed until she is safe to release into society.  But someone who has a substance abuse issue where they cannot control themselves and commits crimes while under the influence is a danger to society and needs to be kept away from society.[/quote]
