They were ducks for Goodness sake. Are they worth two human lives? What an idiot to stop in the highway to “save” them.
I will bet you that this”Animal Lover”is ALL for”Abortion-on-Demand”????????????????
Maybe I’m crazy, but I would not have convicted her.
I’m certainly no bleeding heart liberal... maybe I’m just a sucker for a girl with a heart bigger than her brain.
This was about someone who caused the death of another motorist through stupidity. I'd likely have tried to help those ducklings myself, but stopping in the middle of the interstate with no emergency flashers, no nothing was very negligent.
Everyone’s at fault here. She had no business stopping on the road for a non-emergency - without her flashers, yet.
However, cars stop for all kinds of reasons on roads. They break down. There are accidents. Sometimes there’s a deer in the road, debris. I know someone who totaled a car by hitting a flat rock the size of a grapefruit. You can’t just blithely drive into oblivion.
No, she faces life imprisonment for causing the deaths of two people. If she doesn’t have the intelligence not to stop her car on a highway, maybe prison is the safest place for her.
It’s called The Law Of Unintended Consequences. This woman has been conditioned by her society to save baby ducks. I’m sure she thought she was performing a caring and thoughtful act by rescuing ducklings. The problem is that she obeyed her conditioning instead of thinking. No rational person parks in the left lane of a freeway at night while their car still works. It’s not something other motorists would expect or prepare for. She could have pulled her car off to the right hand shoulder of the road and put on her flashers. Then, she could have run out onto the freeway to rescue the ducklings and been hit and killed by a semi.
This whole story is just a small example of what happens with liberals every day.
“Gosh, I’m sorry my actions caused those people to needlessly die, but I felt like I was doing something really good and important.”
Now having read that article again to clarify some points lets see if I have this straight.
This woman stops in the left hand lane to help some ducks and doesn’t put her emergency lights on, now I take this was during the daylight hours.
Next, if I got this right, she was out of the car helping the ducks.
So that car was at a full stop and had been for several minutes which means that the people on the motorcycle had plenty of time to react to that and slow down.
The question is why didn’t the people on that motorcycle slow down and just how fast were they going?
I am not excusing her fault in this mess but if that guy had been more diligent that accident could have been avoided.
I have heard this happens more often than people care to think about.
When a friend of mine was driving on the freeway and slammed into a car that was stopped right in the middle of the lane just over the rise of a hill so she didn’t see it until it was too late, it was HER fault she was told by the Highway Patrol officers and the insurance company.
Was she driving In a Yugo?
Obvious case of a young lady with her head up her rectum. NOT uncommon, but 25 to life is a bit out there.
Seems to me the young lady will suffer her entire life the scene of those two people she was responsible for killing by her stupid, thoughtless act of compassion for those little ducks.
Sad, but the Catch-22 is if she is a liberal she will lie to herself in justification of her act of compassion, and have no remorse.
Here in America her first crime would have been interfering with migrating waterfowl.
