A just society awards value commensurate with the damage done.
This woman does not deserve tens of millions of her fellow citizens' money.
If she didn't have a history of being a drunk who was in the habit of endangering the lives of her fellow citizens she would never have been arrested on this warrant in the first place.
I have no idea how you came to that conclusion; there is nothing to verify the accusation you just made. Just because she was arrested one time does not mean she makes a habit of driving drunk DUH
Note the 4 years part.... Or are you one of the chosen that has never made a mistake in their lives?
You’re right — she does not deserve tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. But why do you need to blame the victim by calling her “a drunk” who was in “the habit” of endangering others? Do you know the exact circumstances of her arrest? It was 4 years ago, so she would have been 18. Most states have a BAC of 0.02 for “underage” (another BS law) drivers. She may have had 2 beers at a graduation party and failed to signal a turn. If something like that was the case, then the state victimized her not once, but twice. (And I’m not just defending her ‘cause she’s smoking hot.)
If you're thinking that's OK, you ought to move to the ME, China, or Russia.
Well, if I'M ever kidnapped for 10 days, I want millions from the perps.
If she didn't have a history of being a drunk who was in the habit of endangering the lives of her fellow citizens she would never have been arrested on this warrant in the first place.
Probably true.
“If she didn’t have a history of being a drunk who was in the habit of endangering the lives of her fellow citizens she would never have been arrested on this warrant in the first place.”
Blame the victim??? She paid for her past mistake.
Um......it was mistaken identity. Her only crime was having the same name. Please read the article again.
She had 1 drunk driving conviction at the age of 18.
I suppose we all ought to get together and stone the skanky b!tch.
Where did you get that? The current warrant had nothing to do with her years old drunk driving record.
Lets see... If I kidnap someone and stick them in a closet for nine days then what? I go to jail for the rest of my life. I don't think seven figures is unreasonable for having the VERY SAME THING done to her under color of law. Yes, it's citizens' money, but citizens elect the sheriff and hire the incompetent boobs that run the system.
