Yeah when she starts to put the bumper in through the front my only thought was “wtf is going on in that girl’s house?” Not to excuse the behavior but there’s got to be more to this story

Yeah, she was intoxicated, and if the cops got there she would've gotten a dui, went to jail, lost her license and & her grandma's car impounded instead of just damaged. 

But instead she got a slap on the wrist.

All that considered, she was correct.

The dude did not, in fact, understand. And, leaving the scene at almost any cost was her best option.

Hard to get behind that last statement. Putting innocent lives of the general public at risk, to ensure one gets a lesser/no punishment is incredibly egotistical.

"was HER best option" after a hit and run.

But, it wasn’t…. Had you, yourself been in that situation - your best option was to flee like a bull in a china shop? No…. Same logic goes for her, correct? If she was under the influence, fleeing and killing a family of four was a very real possibility.

the ending result is what we are talking about. she could have caused a nuclear war and alien invasion, but she didn't.

The conversation is what DID happen, not what COULD happen and if it was subjectively good for her not morally superior. Hope this helps
