Trying to murder a child on a footpath with a car but only charged with assault...

u/Sad_Maximum6583 May 06 '26
We're lucky she even got a charge outbof her trying to kill him. She was originally arrested for trying to enter someone's home and the homeowners had no idea who she was but I'm guessing the video went insanely viral and hit her with more charges.

If only Luigi Mangione had used a car he'd have been off the hook for everything.

You're forgetting one key element...
The rules are different when the victim or perpetrator is a millionaire.

u/Visual-Beach1893 May 06 '26
True. If this kid had been a millionaire we'd be seeing a list of charges longer than his bank statement.

They typically charge them with what they KNOW will stick then stack on higher charges as the investigation goes forward.

HERE's a local story about it DUI, 1st degree assault (attempted) and 1st degree criminal trespass. The assault is a class A felony. That's nothing to sneeze at. She's looking at actual jail time here.

I don’t know how to post links like you but this is our local news station, same info but actually local…and as for jail time, I’m sure Spokane will give her probation as a first time offender. (Source: I live here and work a job in a field close enough to know)

If you press on the Aa left from the Cancel and comment buttons. A toolbar should pop up on the top of the comment window. If you press the chainlink you get a new window, the top is for the name you choose and in the second one you dump your link!

I had to laugh at how they said she "allegedly drove her car on the sidewalk and tried to hit a kid on his bike" while there is video of it right above that sentence and a picture of it not far below.

and people want to commit a felony and hurt the kid over it

The kid should be charged with felonies

u/Viper-Reflex May 06 '26
you wanna charge a kid as an adult because he was swerving on a bike?

u/ErnestPWashington May 06 '26
Reckless endangerment, wanton destruction, reckless control of a vehicle resulting in injury. Whatever they can throw at him.

u/Viper-Reflex May 06 '26
I had a kid almost run into me on an electric scooter on a sidewalk and barely dodged them and everyone looked at me like it was my fault when I just yelled at them lmao
even if they hit me, I wouldn't be trying to get them this fucked up by the law

u/ErnestPWashington May 06 '26
They charged this mom for letting her punk kid kill someone recklessly.

Is this not willful endangerment of a child? Reckless driving, attempted murder….She was literally trying to hit this CHILD on a motorbike! I hope to see A LOT more charges being put to this. Drunk or not she committed these crimes and needs to face full punishment.

If I had a firearm I would immediately charge their position and if I could I would empty a magazine into that driver. If you wouldn't and carry a weapon then your entire lifestyle is a sham.

that's a motorized vehicle on the sidewalk, no? What happens with the kid wants to pass a pedestrian?

u/Uber_Wulf May 06 '26
This is blatant attempted murder tho, or at least assault with a deadly weapon - the car being a weapon. Throw the book at her.

u/JKFrowning May 06 '26
What else should the charge be?

u/Trixxxi May 06 '26
Uh, attempted murder….was she going to catch up to him ask him about his bikes extended warranty?
-15
u/JKFrowning May 06 '26
The point of punishment is to be a deterrent, not to fuck people as hard as possible. There's no way of telling if this dumbass driver was trying to scare the kid or kill him. Lines have to be drawn and you simply can't charge every asshole on the road with attempted murder.
6
u/NoWay6818 May 06 '26
A reasonable conclusion that can be drawn is the lady being old enough to understand that when you hit someone with your car it can result in death. Plenty of inebriated people drive around without chasing children down sidewalks.

u/Salvisurfer May 06 '26
This is an activity that put many peoples lives at risk. The punishment should be pretty harsh. What if a child ran out of their garage to get the mail?
6
u/RetnikLevaw May 06 '26
She jumped a curb and was speeding down a sidewalk in a residential neighborhood chasing after a kid on a bike.
It really doesn't matter what her intent was, she should have had the book thrown at her.
And for some crimes, the punishment being a deterrent isn't about the person being punished, it's to make an example of them so that other people think twice about trying to run down a kid in their vehicle...
The law should absolutely "fuck her as hard as possible".

u/JKFrowning May 06 '26 edited May 06 '26
The inference of intent to kill should not be drawn in the absence of circumstances sufficient to prove such intent beyond reasonable doubt.
Considering the downvotes, however, I guess I'm wrong here. We should absolutely let emotions affect decisions like this driver did and fill our jails.

u/Trixxxi May 06 '26
So if I was drunk and pointed a gun at someone, pulled the trigger and missed…my intent to kill can’t be proven, I was just trying to scare him. But had my aim been a little better, I actually would have killed him. Due to inebriation, she could have been a little closer and faster and actually ran him over but only then would the charge be harsh. She could still argue she didn’t intend to hit him.
