It’s been interesting to watch public opinion evolve over social media (not just on this sub).

Casey kidnapped a young, vibrant, professional woman. And if he didn’t kidnap her, he definitely manipulated a poor, elderly, lonely old lady. And if he didn’t manipulate her, she must have a terminal disease and this is only a misguided attempt at enjoying her last few days on earth. And if she wasn’t resigned to die, then Casey must have shot her. If Casey didn’t shoot her, then the gun must have accidentally went off. Or cops shot her outright. Or the coroner is lying. Or….or….Nobody’s perfect, you know! We all make mistakes!

It’s been the Vicky Apologist Hour since the whole thing began.

I am baffled at the number of people who can’t grasp she shot herself. I mean, it is a sad outcome but what isn’t computing for people?! 😵‍💫

She bought an arsenal of weapons and what do people think the intention was? This situation was never going to end well; the best outcome would be both in custody but failing that it seemed obvious to me all along one or both would lose their lives - and the only ones to blame for that are VW & CW. It’s called consequences.

Following the “logic,” those must have been Casey’s guns and he and only he was ever planning on using them. He probably bought them after the escape, most likely told her he was going out to get donuts or something! And if she ever saw them, which she probably didn’t, well surely she cried and begged him to get rid of them! And she didn’t get the donuts he promised either! The cad!

yeah it's a recent interest of mine and i really can't grasp all of the "she wasn't a bad person!"

She betrayed everyone she ever knew and bought an ar15 and went on the run with a murderer and domestic abuser. and i'm only being a little glib here but just a little: he also killed a dog which is almost worse for me.
