The woman who crashed into a crowd at Oklahoma State University's homecoming parade, killing four people and injuring dozens more, was held on $1 million bond Monday — as her father acknowledged that "she might have underlying [mental health] problems."

If you don’t mind me asking, why did he do it ?
But aren't you the least bit concerned about why a young girl who appeared to have no real problems, would want to commit suicide ?
There's certainly one very common one.
Wouldn't make it OK, but there is something that could EXPLAIN why she wanted to die, and was willing to blindly kill others in an attempt to :
Get killed at the scene.
Get the death sentence.
Get into jail and out of the family home.
Because there ARE crazy and evil people. Just because they are young is no pass. I imagine the parents of the 2 year old are wondering the same thing.
You seem obsessed with Texas regarding this Oklahoma case.
According to your own link, it’s understandable Texas would fully drop that hammer on that idiot since he was drunk driving with the cops in pursuit when he plowed the crowd. This OK case seems a bit different.
I happily stand corrected.
P.S. For all I know, it could be the crazy mom that has driven her over the edge, or she could be just as bipolar as mom.
Maybe her boyfriend put her up to it. We still don’t know who he is.
Sure. I agree. I'm just not sure that girl is evil, or was trying to escape evil the only way she could figure out.
Ugh, man.
I can’t speak for her, but all i can say is that if I ever got to such a dark place where I viewed those as my only possible courses of action, I think I’d just go have a sit down talk with me and Dr. Remington and leave everybody else out of it.
I don’t see how you can decide to take the lives of others no problem, but you don’t have the mettle to take your own first and spare others.
I hope that’s not what she did.
Well, after you get past POST #4, let us know if you still don't know 'who' he was.
Both drove around a police barricade and into a crowd of people gathered for an event. In the Texas case, his alcohol level was only slightly over the limit, but BAC should be irrelevant when one murders people intentionally with a vehicle.
I don't think she considered the deaths. I think she only thought of wanting to die, or being forced to die. The car was just a convenient tool.
Could be, but it does seem to point the other way, even to the dissociation after being pulled from the car. The complete disconnectedness from what happened. Even hours after the fact. The ability to remove oneself entirely from a situation is not that easily accomplished. It takes practice.
He was being pulled over by the police and was slightly over the BAC limit. He fled the scene in his car, drove around a police barricade and into a crowd gathered for a music festival.
For all we know, her plan could have been to crash into a pole, in the middle of the parade (hoping for attention to her plight) and (as another poster claims) she didn’t see anyone else.
That’s a terrible plan!
But, like I had posted to another, no point in speculating about this, not enough information to be able to know what went on, so I am not making any judgment yet.
I’ll just say I feel very bad for those that died and their families.
I agree. Especially since it probably could have been prevented.
Thanks.
