I'll bet IMDb really knows all the details about his girl's life. What's that we hear about judging others? Sheesh.

IMDb provided me with enough information to make a reasonable evaluation ("messed-up life - generational") for the purpose of contributing a comment to this thread.

I was not making an official pronouncement, or a legal judgement, or speaking with religious authority. I was not writing her obituary. I was not attending a funeral and making snarky comments to the bereaved. I was making a quick comment in a FR thread about a Hollywood celebrity with a patently reprobate lifestyle. The initial facts of the case indicate that she was grossly negligent and endangered others. There is nothing "out of line" about commenting about that, nothing requiring you (or others) to issue a summary rebuke as you did.

As far as what "we hear about judging others," if you are referring to Matthew 7:1, then all I can say is that I am looking forward to one day being judged by an absolute authority. I will not plead "special circumstances" or beg for a particle of mercy. I would insist (if that's the proper word, in this supposed situation) upon being judged fairly - that is all. I am fully prepared to accept the consequences, even if they entail total annihilation.

How could anyone want less (or more) than perfect justice?

Regards,

But for the grace of God, that could have been you or me in that burning car, full of cocaine and who knows what else.

And don't say you would never do such a thing. There are plenty of things that might have driven you (and me) to such.

That's what I mean about judging her (from our comfy sofas). Life can be hell and drive a man or woman to all sorts of extremes. It is naive to say we would not respond just as she did if our lives had been along more hellish paths.
