Kara Borden told detectives she left of her own free will, according to the filing. David Ludwig told detectives the two planned to get married and start a new life together.
OK, raise your hand if you didn’t make any silly boneheaded decisions when you were fourteen.
"silly and boneheaded"???
She watched him murder her parents, then,without a twinge of love or compassion for them, took off with the murder. That's little beyond silly or boneheaded, I think.
I wouldn't call deserting your family to flee with the murderer of your parents silly or boneheaded. I'd call it evil, among other words.
NONE, that rose to the level of running off with the jerk that just murdered my parents, abandon my orphaned siblings and agree to marry the murderous bastard...
Get real!
Semper Fi
By the grace of God, never ones with these kind of consequences.
Not one like taking off with a guy who just KILLED YOUR PARENTS. Are you kidding?
I thought I was a stupid kid for spilling oil on my father's driveway and only feeling bad enough to try to clean it up and hide it instead of telling him.
Most of us have made boneheaded decisions when we were 14, but nothing like this....this is sad, very sad. 14 is old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. Despicable
Stupid decision...? yeah I've made a bunch but I've never run off to marry a man that just murdered my family. Sorry but love stops once you witness your parents being blown away. I have to wonder now if this wasn't a pre planned option for these two.
especially if you think you are "in love". Wonder what her sibblings are thinking now.
Does the word 'silly' include helping kill your parents?
Then, no, we did not ...
"OK, raise your hand if you didn’t make any silly boneheaded decisions when you were fourteen."
"OK, raise your hand if you didn’t make any silly boneheaded decisions when you were fourteen."
Watching as you parents are killed and then leaving with the killer is a bit more than a bonehead decision.
"OK, raise your hand if you didn’t make any silly boneheaded decisions when you were fourteen."
We waited until we were 18, and then I married him. But I didn't have him execute my parents in the process, though they were ready to shoot ME, that's for sure. After six years, I got tired of raising him, and I split.
Kara's life is over for all intents and purposes. Her siblings are going to turn on her like rabid dogs if it's proven she was in on the slayings. And they probably will too, even if not.
We were just talking about this on another thread...I am now 60, but I can still remember all the mistakes I made when I was 14...I was a bratty, silly girl who wanted her way all the time...and I was crazy over boys, especially the 'bad' boys...my parents sure had a time with me...my dad was always hauling me into the house, and telling me in no uncertain terms, why such and such as boy was not welcome in our house, and not welcome to date me....oh, I carried on so, I am sure...but my dad was strict, and I knew deep down in my heart, he had only my best interests in mind...and I am so grateful for him...I could apologize for my bad behavior, he would dole out my punishment, eventually all was forgiven, and we went on with life...
Kara, on the other hand, cannot ask her parents for their forgiveness...its going to be a difficult burden for her to bear, when she grows up a bit, ,and realizes what happened..
..and then there's cold blooded murder.
I think it's safe to say that most of us, if not all....haven't done the latter.
No comparison.
You must be having quite the giggle as you read the responses to your post..you know...the ones who didn't realize just how sarcastic you were being!!
I made some really, really bad decisions in my life, although even a girl like me from the big, bad, big apple waited until I was 16 before I really got rolling on stupidity, but luckily none of them involved killing anyone, esp. not my parents.
He had a gun and had just shot her parents. Presumably he would have shot her and her siblings as well. The fact that she left willingly can't be held against her. And yes, she's fourteen and as dumb as they come at that age. She has to live with what she's done, her stupidity, rebelliousness, lack of sense. But she didn't shoot her parents.
Yeah, I can't count the number of times I conspired to murderl my parents so I could do what I wanted.
This girl was disturbed just as much as the perp, in my opinion.
Nothing this stupid. And evil.
yeah, but my parents didnt get shot to death.
