Chicago model might get the death penalty

[AngryAmish]

Anyway, this gal decides to kill herself by running her car into another. She killed three people.

However, the kicker is she is completely hot. See .

This is going to be a big story around here. Probably also nationwide.

[malmapus]

1. What a selfish bitch

Why couldn't she decide to run into a light pole or something, instead of taking other people out with her.

Phuck her.

[noonwitch]

28. She lives in Chicago, she could have driven into the lake

I'm sure there's a way to do it that wouldn't involve taking others out with you, even if she would have had to drive to a more rural locale than downtown.

[benburch]

2. Damn.

Why do people pick such stupid suicide methods?

A leap from a tall building always works.

And running into a bridge abutment at speed works great too. No need to involve others.

The ones that are the worst are the ones that make others do it for them; Suicide by cop, for example, or the people who stand in front of a train. The cops and engineers have to live with that, and I know it haunts some of them.

[robertarctor]

3. Yeah, she killed the drummer of Silkworm.

Along with two other members of Chicago indie-rock bands.

What a tragedy. And one of the guys who was killed was a vehement opponent of the death penalty.

[flamingyouth]

8. OMG - I hadn't heard about this

I saw Silkworm live quite a few times. This is awful. x(

[DS1]

4. Yikes

That's the dumbest thing I've heard of all year. A tree would've done quite nicely, I've seen one tear a BMW just about in half after it hit a tree at about 90mph.

[Phentex]

7. Why hurt a tree when anti-freeze would work as well?

:P

[Enraged_Ape]

14. Oh, God, don't even mention antifreeze.

I was working in an ICU once when they brought in a guy who had drunk windshield-washer fluid (not that far removed from anti-freeze). Evidently, he didn't drink enough to do the job (whether suicide or a high, I have no idea), because basically all he accomplished was going violently insane. It took two doctors, two nurses, and three security people to hold him down as they tried to sedate him. It was a nightmare I will never forget.

[Phentex]

16. and yet a woman here killed two of her husbands with anti-freeze....

until someone caught on! Oye!

[Fenris]

10. Hell, why not just stick to the suicide "classics"?

Whatever happened to downing a bunch of sleeping pills or slitting one's wrists in the bathtub? :shrug:

[DS1]

11. I blame it on the Dukes of Hazzard

[Fenris]

12. Just the good ol' boys, never meanin' no harm....

[FLSurfer]

5. The media now has their new

beautiful, blonde news item.

[coloradodem2005]

6. Why does it have to involve other people?

[blondeatlast]

9. I'm surprised at the restraint shown by the C S-T in the headline.

And good for the friends of the dead for speaking against the death penalty.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. After that accident.....

I bet she no longer looks that good.

[grace0418]

23. Actually, she only broke her ankle from what I hear.

She will be just fine while three families and countless friends mourn.

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. That's ALL???

Damnit. I wanted some extensive stitching, facial scars, etc.

[grace0418]

27. I know me too. Although I am glad she didn't die.

I don't want her to get the death penalty. I wish her a long life to consider what she did. She should spend a long time in jail and a loooooooooooooooooooong time doing community service.

[necso]

15. This woman is obviously unwell.

It is one thing to recognize physical beauty in a person; it is quite another thing to ignore the rest of the person.

Madness.

My condolences to all the bereft.

...

Oh, and I intend no criticism of the original post (or poster). My criticism is for those who were close to this person, profited through her -- but did not provide her the understanding, help and support that she obviously needed.

And my criticism is for a society unconcerned about and uncaring for the mentally ill.

[Tallison]

44. I like your gentility and compassion

No such thing as too much of either.:grouphug:

[necso]

45. Well,

I wouldn't advise placing too large of a bet on me religiously practicing either of these "values" (which I might characterize as being transcultural humanitarian values)... It's situational with me. And I can be quite deliberately cruel and compassionless (in act), when I judge that the circumstances demand this.

This woman clearly has unhealthy things happening in her head (not that suicide is necessarily "unhealthy" in this same sense). How mitigating this should be, I don't know -- and (without knowing the essential context) perhaps not at all.

Justice is a rather difficult ideal. Myself, I concentrate on practicing judgement.

[Shell Beau]

17. Well I guess she'll get what she wanted all along.

This is sad. As far as innocent people being killed b/c she felt like dying. She lives and others die instead. Sad.

[madinmaryland]

18. I guess this is going to be the next "poor white girl story"

Anything by the MSM to divert attention from Rovegate.

:argh:

[WCGreen]

19. Everybody run...... Models driving.....

[Deja Q]

20. Okay people. If you want to kill yourselves, read "Final Exit" instead.

I dunno why you want to take others out and, let's face it, our "society" will soon reach a point where being dead will be a better condition to be in. Is it really philanthropy to take out total strangers in the process of trying to do yourself in? :crazy:

[Phentex]

21. or look to Scientology...

for those times you want to ram your car into someone...

[grace0418]

22. This happened right by my office.

I know of someone who was at the intersection at the time of the accident. She was really shaken up, said she saw the car of the victims upside down with flailing legs hanging out of it and a brain on the pavement.

A friend of my coworker pronounced them dead and said the girl was a real piece of work, still casting herself as the victim somehow. Said she was a total spoiled princess. Meanwhile three guys just waiting at a stop light on their lunch hour are dead.

In a way I'm glad she survived so she can face the music. One part of me says that she was obviously mentally ill but then I think of those three guys who could very easily be guys I know. One of the victims was a friend of another coworker of mine, the victim was in a band with my coworker's boyfriend.

I hope she gets convicted. So what if she's pretty. She's selfish, stupid and malicious too. She should've just closed herself in the garage with her car running and saved everyone else the agony.

[tyedyeto]

24. Is she blonde?

If so, she will be the next national news sensation.

[AngryAmish]

32. Oh yeah

Look at my link above

[graywarrior]

26. Finally! Something to replace the Jackson trial!

Thank god Court TV has something to look forward to.

[Beware the Beast Man]

29. Well, if she's suicidal, than the death penalty's too good for her.

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

36. That was my take on it.

She should live. That would be much more punishing. She would actually get her wish if they gave her death and she would avoid having to do it herself.

[PittPoliSci]

30. would the death penalty really be appropriate?

she wants to die. let her rot in prison for the rest of her life.

[grace0418]

31. Exactly. She needs to be forced to grow old and ugly in jail.

And spend the rest of her life thinking about what she did to get herself there.

[Book Lover]

33. Just a quick point

Old does not equal ugly.

[BiggJawn]

42. Bet it will in her case...

Maybe I don't go in for that type, but I don't think she's all that "Hot"...

Shit, even *I* have heard of Silkworm!

[grace0418]

43. Never said it did. But in her case I doubt the wardens are going to

allow her to continue a daily beauty regimen that will allow her to keep her barbie doll looks.

[I Know How To Do it]

34. She may be pretty hot, but I prefer my women to be a

little taller.

[Shell Beau]

37. Or stable?

[I Know How To Do it]

39. Well afterall, the link to her picture lists her height to

be 1 foot tall.

I hate to be called picky, but I'm kind of tall. I just don't think it work out.

[Shell Beau]

40. I must have missed that. Yes,

1 foot is a tad bit on the short side!

[Chicago Democrat]

38. I iknow she's only 1 foot tall according to here site!

Teeny weeeny ooompa loompah size




No wonder she had a hard time driving being only one foot tall!

[Chicago Democrat]

35. Wow, what a sad idiot!

DUMB

[Zuni]

41. wow, she is totally hot

but her choice of methods for attempted suicide was among the worst. She should have just overdosed on pills or some shit
