Kayla Gerdes, 18, was quoted in a written statement to police saying: “The thing that made me feel not so bad was she was old.” The comments were reported by Newsday, citing court records. She added: “I mean, 70 years is a long time to live.”

Here in California when prop 8 (gay marriage) was up for a vote, the gay leader against it said she’d wish old people would die so that the measure would pass.

The left just does not value life. Unless it’s their own.

Here's another article. Click on the title to get to the video. Her boss was even higher on drugs than she was.

LI Teen Involved in Fatal Crash Hospitalized

By ROB HOELL wpix.com
8:40 PM EDT, April 23, 2010

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (WPIX) - Kayla Gerdes missed her court appearance Friday due to a medical condition.

A source tells PIX 11 News the 18-year-old was being treated for withdrawal.

Gerdes admitted to police she was high on Oxycodone when she drove her boss' work van across Rebecca Twine's front lawn hitting and killing the 69-year-old who was cutting her grass.

"It was prescription drugs. It was a mistake," said Gerdes Wednesday as police lead her to arraignment court.

Gerdes' attorney isn't trying to hide that fact that the teen has a drug problem. He says she was actually on her way to family court at the time of crash in hopes of checking into a drug treatment program and her mother was waiting there.

"She said Mommy, this woman has died, how can I live with myself after that? I want to die," Tara Gerdes said in an interview with Inside Edition.

Gerdes started out as the passenger in van, but her attorney says she switched places with her boss who was taking her to court because he was to high to drive.

Gerdes attorney tells us he believes Steele's blood work will show he was high on Xanax.

Under New York State law a person can be charged with reckless endangerment if they knowingly allow a someone else who is intoxicated to drive. But even if Steele's is found to have been high at the time, police say it's unlikely he'll face charges, because it would difficult to prove he knew Gerdes was intoxicated.

The “silver lining” is, at least the old woman got killed in an unplanned, un-premeditated way.

Pretty soon, HALF the elderly folks in the USA will be “slated for termination” by Omoslem’s death panels.

You’re 76? Too bad, because Omoslem only authorizes this operation for people 74 and under. So sorry, go home, suffer and die!

They don't even value their own, as is evidenced by the abortion rate. It isn't conservatives killing off their own.

“Throw her in prison until she is 70”

I wouldn’t want my tax dollars paying for this trash. Tie her hands and feet and throw her off a freeway overpass.

If she actually said that in a written statement to police sixteen hours after the incident,as the other thread on this subject suggests, she would seem to be very stupid on top of all of her other frailties.
