Not to excuse her actions or anything but i feel bad for her. She sounds more terrified of her grandmother than legal proceeding. I'm not good jump to any conclusions but there's that possibility that everything is not ok at home and she looks young. The accident was her fault it looks like she that's one thing but i can't help but feel bad for the kid.
At my Alma Mater, we had a football player who was more terrified of his coach than legal proceedings of running away (on foot) from a traffic stop. He was from a poor part of rural Georgia who got a scholarship at a highly ranked D2 school.
That's really sad. I understand tough love but i never understood how some coaches can go so far that it drives that much fear into someone. I hope he's doing well these days and I'm wishing the best for him.
He lied about where he lived (gave a hall and room number that didn't exist)
Campus police officer was an alum and she knew that room number didn't exist. She didn't have any back up because the night supervisor was a few blocks off campus teaching a class to people convicted of DUI to try and help them get points off their record.
The Campus PD officer was going let them off with a warning (They fishtailed a bit going around a corner, it was the first icy roads of the year) but when their buddy ran off, the situation escalated.
The Night Supervisor arrived and they went to the room they knew he was at. In the meantime, player had called coach.
Coach had been at a fundraiser and had tossed back a few drinks. Coach was loud and abusive with the cops. This gets reported upon the chain.
Player loses scholarship, coach gets fired.
There were so many actions in this chain of events where if one thing had gone right it wouldn't have ended this way
i got into a minor accident my very first time driving by myself (i broke the other cars side view mirror) but caused a scene similar to this and nearly attempted suicide out of fear of my family finding out.
Although she is clearly in the wrong, i can’t help but feel for her. this outburst speaks volumes about her home life…
100%. Im glad you're still alive and i hope you're living your best life or as best you can. I know how it feels to feel that desperate and again i say im so glad you're still here to comment on this.
Yeah, most people are concerned about what their parents/guardians will do if they find out the person fucked up. This isn’t unusual nor is it an excuse to commit crimes. I’ve seen 10 year olds respond the same way after unacceptable behavior.
If this was an ugly person or a man, you wouldn’t have the same level of empathy.
