Friend of mine lost their younger brother to a distracted driver hitting him head on 25mph over the speed limit, the driver only got 2 years of probation. I feel absolutely terrible for the families and friends of the two individuals who lost their lives in this reckless and ignorant situation.
In the very beginning of the arrest she said “it was my day” “I was getting my make up em ready to go out” right after the accident.. she only cared about how her night would go and never cared about the others
@ItzSyakirin Everyone says "narcissism" like she didn't just blow a 0.3% BAL during the arrest. Mrs Booze Brain might _literally not remember doing it._
My grandma was fatally struck by an intoxicated driver last year and all that guy cared about was his car getting wrecked. He's never expressed remorse for what he did, all he's done is complain about his car and his own relatively minor injuries.
she felt offended that the officer called her horrible, so her feelings weren't impaired from alcohol, she genuinely did not gaf about killing those people.
ive seen people on twitter excusing her behaviour saying her dedication to school was so great that she shouldn't get a sentence because 'we need people that work hard'. I don't know who's dumber.
Just to remind everyone: the guy who jail broke nintendo switches is basically getting life in prison while someone who took 2 human lives and literally only cares about HER ability to go to school, is getting a reduced penalty of 14 years.
Corporate interests should not weigh more than public interest. This being the case, we need to demand reform. We have become way too complacent with rampant corporatism usurping our entire society. This needs to stop. I remember when capitalism was a form of consumerism in which the rights of the consumer weighed more than the rights of the producer. Slowly over the past 10-20 years this has eroded because of a lack of consumer litigation. Most millenials hate the court system and have no idea how to file litigation. Boomers used to sue companies over everything. Remember when America would sue mcdonalds over some coffee that was too hot? Ironically enough, that's the sort of thing that kept our economy in check. Nowadays it's in shambles because we have no backbone.
@@youngpark3819 doesn't matter, they hit him with a lifetime debt his life is basically over so it wouldn't surprise me if he went out with a bang in Nintendos quarters
@@RobotronSageIt wasn't "coffee is hot, duh." You should look into that case. She won for good reason - she got permanent burns, and it was not just standard hot coffee. It's a common misconception, which is sad, because that case was entirely justified.
I'm terrified. I'm genuinely terrified. That people like this exist. I've been dealing with alcoholism for years and not ONCE have I driven under the influence and NEVER has it crossed my mind.
My wife and daughter wish to obtain their driver’s licenses. I don’t worry for them because of their ability to drive, I worry because of people like her are on the roads. Driving under the influence is inexcusable. I have seen first hand what it does to a family. My father’s elder brother who never drank, was a good and decent man who was involved in many charities, was driving with his family to Melbourne Australia from Canberra in our nation’s capital. They were going on holiday and in the car was my uncle, his wife, and my two cousins aged 5 and 2. A drunk driver crossed over to the wrong side of the road and hit them head on. My uncle was killed instantly, my aunt was in a coma which lasted 3 months, and my 2 year old cousin was brain damaged and put on life support. My 5 year old cousin was unscathed, physically, but endured a lifetime of mental trauma all stemming from that accident. She’s been in and out of institutions for most of her adult life. My father had to make the agonising decision to turn off life support, an act which my Nana never forgave him for but which was the best decision given her prognosis. She was brain dead and machines were keeping her alive. My father struggled with alcoholism and my family bore the brunt of his inability to cope. All because some dickhead couldn’t be bothered to get a taxi home. I have no sympathy for those who drive under the influence.
My boyfriend's dad drove drunk all the time years ago (before I knew them). He actually went to jail for a year or so for it. Thankfully he never crashed or hurt someone, but the police found him pulled over a bunch of times sleeping it off I guess, with a high blood alcohol level. Since he went to prison he hasn't driven drunk as far as I know, but he's still an alcoholic. I don't know how my bf turned out so well honestly; he has never drunk any alcohol because he witnessed all the problems drinking caused his parents. Similarly, when I was a teenager I decided not to ever get drunk because there's alcoholism in my family too :/ Alcoholism is a bitch; I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I hope things get better for you!
@Kfox I’m genuinely sorry to hear your struggles with alcohol. I can certainly empathise with you as I had my own struggles with alcohol and addiction. It is possible to overcome this. For me it was working on the underlying issues which caused me to want to get wasted in the first place. Once I did that, I became able to get my addictions under control. You’re a beautiful young woman with so much to look forward to in life. I sincerely hope you’re able to overcome your issues and live your best life.
@Daniel thank you. I know exactly what the underlying cause is, so I'm doing my best to work on that. There's nothing worse than feeling dependent on a substance. Baby steps!
Repeat offenders "effectively" stay in a long time because they refuse to go without for more than 2 weeks or stupidly break probation constantly. Plus once you're in the system, it's harder to stay out, they're more likely to be on your ass for something.
Am I crazy though or is she not just drunk? Like, the reason she’s laughing in the hospital is that she just doesn’t process what’s going on around her since her BAC is like barely keeping her conscious. I’m not sure if she would react that way if she understood that she had killed someone and was sober. This whole video just seems silly to me. We’re not looking at some psychopath who doesn’t care that they killed 2 people. We’re looking at what a normal person is capable of understanding when they’re hammered. When she wakes up later, then she’ll have to be re-informed of her situation and she’ll understand.
@@leopardduck4490 thats why charlie looks to me a bit stupid given his emotional impulsereaction, like hes totally misinterpreting her, she may be high in addition, she may not yet realise what happend, she may downplay it instinctively to avoid a menthal breakdown, we dont know and all of what i said is more probable than: well shes just a selfish unresponsible prick "duh".
@@leopardduck4490 I have been literally nearly blackout drunk and still able to at least comprehend a serious situation like this, no amount of drunk makes someone this much of a piece of garbage. She just already was one.
As a psychologist, I saw this video last week (prior to Charlie’s perspective). When I watched it in its entirety, I was horrified by how she initially tried to blame the victims and then claimed that she only hit one person (I believe these were pedestrians). The victims were struck so hard that some of their limbs were nearly completely disarticulated (i.e., torn off). She also thought she should get some type of credit for calling 911 herself. In the video, she displays narcissistic behavior to such an extreme that her behaviors are consistent with sociopathy. Being intoxicated generally enhances the mood state experienced while also being a CNS depressant. So, if someone gravely hurts another person while intoxicated, it should made a “normal” person with a conscience and empathy feel even more upset and inconsolable, particularly since she saw the bodies. Normal people would be so upset if they just killed two people; they would likely be throwing up and weeping uncontrollably. In the hospital, it was as if she pretends he didn’t just say she killed two people. She appeared mildly upset after the police officer stated his utter disgust in her behavior when she kept pressing him about her missing classes (btw the officer exhibited extraordinary restrain when he did speak, particularly after witnessing her singing, dancing, and laughing). Her upset was more incredulousness that the officer would say what he did. At that point, she asked if he was “allowed” to say what he did. She is lucky that was all that was said. I agree with Charlie; since she didn’t actually know the people she killed, she was unfazed. The video is a chilling example of sociopathy.
I honestly expected him to get up and just punch her in the face when she ignored him talking about the two deceased individuals. I know I couldn't have had that kind of restraint in that moment.
Narcissism is genuinely terrifying. My stepdad was a narcissist and the stuff he did and thought was ok was horrid and absurd. Obviously it’s mental illness and it can be a little more complicated than just think different or whatever but it’s just awful
@@feebler8819 Yes, but it's not a mental illness that you're born with or that needs to be medicated or that you can't fix; it's a personality disorder. Narcissists definitely don't get a pass like other more serious and uncontrollable conditions (ex. bipolar disorder). Basically, if your narcissism leads to you harming others, you should get the book thrown at you.
what pisses me off the most is most of the time, the drunk driver has minor injuries, while the family they hit is dead. then they suffer minor repercussions, if any, for the crime they committed absolutely despicable
@@blairesart4160 I think that another thing that has to do with it is that drunk drivers most frequently end up in head-on collisions, which is what the seatbelt and airbag are designed to most absorb. Drunk drivers are the ones who most often blow through red lights and end up T-boning another car, which causes major injuries.
My best friend died when she was eleven with her mum because of a drunk driver he gets to have his life he didnt do any time even after it was found that he was intoxicated and on his phone at the time of the accident i lost my favourite human being and he got less than a slap on the wrist
My dad and his gf were killed by a drunk driver when I was 18. I just turned 30 and I can tell you right now, it's something that is absolutely unforgiveable. and yet they are hardly punished. The woman who killed my family was only sentenced to 9 years for both (combined) and got out EARLY due to good behaviour. This woman probably got more just because of the public eye factor but usually, drunk drivers are not held accountable like they should be. This world needs to change.
The fact that she only got 14 years, and so many people have gotten way worse sentencing for doing far less than negligently murdering 2 people, shows how unapologetically broken our legal system is
Henry Ruggs got 10 years and he only killed one person and was sobbing at the scene. Not to mention he was a millionaire athlete who mattered so much to a lot of people
Had 7 years of my life ruined because i got caught with a pipe for weed. They somehow tried hitting me with all these distribution charges. Even labeled me a felon until after probation. I'd literally never even had a traffic ticket before that
My mother was killed by a drunk driver when I was 15, she died in front of me. I’m 41 now and have lived longer without a mom than with I can’t even remember her voice. I have zero respect for driving impaired on anything! Charlie u are right it is an unforgivable act.
Cars are actually built in a way that protects most drivers who collide head on. Most cars have little to no protection from the sides. Though these victims were pedestrians so they stood even less of a chance against her car :(
A lot of times, drunk drivers are able to escape with minimal injuries because their bodies don't really get tense during a crash and are able to avoid panicking. My dad has been in a few wrecks (sometimes under the influence of drugs and sometimes alcohol) and he's gotten away relatively unscathed, only need hospital care for a couple hours.
@@GmmBeast actually the tensing part is true, the muscles don’t tense so they absorb the impact instead of being ripped/torn and the bones don’t need to take the shock, the panicking saves lives as well by overreacting and saving the victim, instead of both of them being hurt/killed
She was wasted at the time -- 3-4X the legal limit. I've gotten blackout drunk and done stupid shit that I don't remember and it feels like somebody else did that stuff when you get told about it. Of course, I never ran two people over with my car...
It scares me a bit that you don't qualify that last opinion, and you are a police officer. I mean I'm cynical, but I would not say that all people are horrible.
I really like how Charlie hammered home not driving drunk. He’s a gaming content creator. His audience is young. Don’t drive drunk kids. It’s never worth it.
@@ceoatcrystalsoft4942 maybe not the majority, but there are some younger kids that do watch. Mainly because of the meme's. The message rings true though, its never worth it to drive drunk. Get a taxi, uber, a sober friend to drive. Hell do anything but drive drunk.
@@romanticwander i see so many people go partying with no solid plan on what to do after. It ain't that hard to cushion a car enough to sleep in in sufficient comfort.
I hope the victims families don't see this. Imagine losing a family member and seeing the one responsible barely register it. Full blown sociopathy. Edit: People in the replies pointing out this was a year ago and the family has likely seen it countless times. Goddammit.
They’re attorney will be playing this during the civil lawsuit for wrongful death to take anything she and likely her parents (if they Co own the car) have.
My best friend was a drunk driver. She ended up running headfirst into a semi on the way home from a bar, getting herself killed (and the “friend”that made her drive that night barely survived). The feelings are so complicated. It felt like someone ripped my heart out, but it’s sad to say that was the best case scenario. She’s lucky she’s the only one who died. I will miss her forever, but I am ALWAYS going to be unbelievably angry at her. It was so needlessly stupid and selfish. Whatever the Uber costs is worth it. Or fuck it, sleep it off in your car. Getting behind the wheel is never the answer.
Your channel is one of the ones I turn to when I'm craving a drink. As someone who has driven drunk in the past, I appreciate so much that you are so blunt about your distain for drunk drivers, and the fact you call it unforgivable. Because it is. I don't seek forgiveness for driving drunk, I don't deserve it. All I can do is keep moving forward, not do it again, and be thankful I never hurt or killed anyone.
I have too. I never hurt anyone either, but that's still not good. I don't do it now, mostly because I don't drink now. There was always a good reason to, sometimes you run out and have to go to the store. I know, I was there. Never again though. It won't stop though, you know how it was. Best we can do is stop ourselves, and that's pretty good.
The worst part is that her family are crying wolf and saying she ‘doesn’t deserve the hate’ she’s ‘been through enough’. Like so have the families of her two victims. She deserves every ounce of hate thrown her way.
Um, NO, THATS NOT WHAT THEY SAID YOU LIAR! THE FAMILY SAID THEY DONT DESERVE THE HATE THEYVE BEEN GETTING, THEIR DAUGHTER DOES! People, LIKE YOU, who spread lies are disgusting!
One of the most sickening parts of this story is when she was pulled over, one of the victim’s _DISMEMBERED LEGS_ was wedged in the car’s grill…and she had NO reaction to it. That’s one of the most gruesome things I’ve ever heard happen in a drunk-driving accident… *Edit: To the very few people commenting who’re defending her actions, stop…just fucking _STOP._ I cannot believe some of y’all are actually siding with this killer. I know it’s a sick way to get a shock factor from us, but it literally makes you just as vile and ice-cold as her. Though she was clearly under the influence of _something,_ it doesn’t excuse what she’s done in any single way. She killed 2 innocent people & showed absolutely _NO_ remorse for it. We can only hope she doesn’t do it again when she gets out. Also I found out about the severed leg from Fox News for those who were wondering. Please guys, I’m begging you, don’t drive if you’ve drank or taken any substances. That temporary euphoric high isn’t more important than taking someone else’s life. Get an Uber or taxi-it’s that simple. **2nd Edit: Melgoza was sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison, but under Illinois law, she’s only required to serve about 85% of that sentence; combined w/ credit for time served, she’ll probably get out within the next 11.5 years. I think that’s pretty despicable given that I still don’t believe she’s shown genuine remorse nor really accepted full responsibility for her actions that night. During her sentencing, she reportedly “expressed great remorse” for her actions, but I think she’s more upset at the idea of going to prison than for hitting those two people. I hope she doesn’t get out anytime soon…
@@Stop_Gooning She didn’t blackout. She got behind the driver’s wheel of a car while being intoxicated. Her decisions caused these actions, nothing else.
I know of common anti depresants that cause this. Not saying this is what happened, but I remember someone telling me once that after taking their meds if someone died at their feet they wouldn't have a flicker of emotion, and this person is one of the most caring people I know. Anti-depressants basically turn you into a zombie where you don't care. So although we can judge this woman, let us not forget that many millions of people are made this way by their medication and we don't care about that.
@@casewojo6186 Americans say "could care less" like it's correct and at this stage in my career I've just accepted that's how it's always been. I've actually seen that more than the correct version online.
This was a student at my college and I barely even knew about it, aside from people at school spreading the news. I’m glad this isn’t going unheard and people are seeing this person for the terrible monster that she is. Absolutely disgusting.
The drunkest I've ever been, I was completely plastered. Got stuck in the bathroom at the bar because it had a slide lock, had 10 fully-liquor drinks (110 pounds) and had an old guy who was also very drunk get very worried about me and helped my friend get me out of the bar. If you told me I had killed a squirrel I would be absolutely devastated, alcohol changes your self control and perception, but it doesn’t change your baseline morals. If you do something while drunk, that was something you were already willing to do
Me and my friend were hit by a drunk driver in 2008 while walking, my friend passed instantly. We were only 11 years old. It’s given me a lot of troubles to think about in life. I myself have given up drinking this year due to my own troubles alcohol has gotten me. I hate alcohol, how addictive it is and how fatal it can be in many many situations. God bless anyone affected in any way by alcohol.
I’m sorry that happened and I hope that you find an outlet to express your pain. Some form of artistic expression that lets the world know how you feel, but opens you up to love and support. A dark past doesn’t mean a doomed future.
Wow that's insanely traumatizing. Drunk driving is especially infuriating because it's so preventable but causes so many uneeded DEATHS every year no matter where you live. So horrible
I watched the full footage a couple days ago, and I can’t even express the amount of anger I felt the entirety of the video. She was more concerned about going to school and was even talking about how much she was going to drink at her birthday party in Las Vegas the next week
Yes because You only get to feel shock and disassociation if you’re the victim. And because she didn’t act the way we all wanted we should trump the manslaughter charges up to murder and throw her in jail for life. Truly based.
You actually forgot the best part, while she was out on bail waiting for the trial she got pregnant and married! So glad she got to have those life experiences while her victims are missing out on the rest of their lives due to her unbelievable stupidity.
As someone who had a DUI, hitting a family of 4 ( no one was hurt) i was disgusted and ashamed of myself. I havent had a single beer or any drink since 2014 now
The fact she only got 14 years AND was allowed to graduate from her nursing program is frankly completely disgusting. Shame on the court, on that college, and God help those people she callously murdered.
On top of it all, she got to walk in her Graduation. Her family definitely paid off the facility, as well as the bond. A lot of students held protests against her walking in their graduation and I honestly applaud them for standing up against the university. Ridiculous the world we live in, she should have been stripped of her education completely
She is hateable. I recently apologized to a friend for a shitty thing I said while drunk… and he was like “dude that was almost twenty years ago” and I was like “I know but I get sad knowing I hurt your feelings and just need you to know I was wrong…” Something on this level is unimaginable.
You know despite I did the same this cause I recently am hating myself for hurting my friends feelings for saying things drink and I still hate myself I’m trying to give it time to say sorry but also something like this tho… idk I wouldn’t comprehend the consequences what this girl did..
The guilt I feel for accidentally being an ass whilst drunk is ridiculous. It's so dark and heavy and it can last for weeks, and I'm not even a bad guy! If I so much as make an off colour joke I'll be gutted. This is absolutely not just booze making reality.
yep thats why im quitting drinking. just too dangerous for me personally. i havent done that many terrible things but i feel its better to quit while im ahead. i could see myself going on a bender and waking up in jail over something dumb.
She was cold and completely uncaring, I truly think she deserved the full 28 years because she took away two entire lives. There is no redeeming that and there is no redeeming her attitude but 14 years feels lenient.
Soooo.... how many years should someone get who actively murdered 2 people? Sadly i've noticed in the past, usually literal murderers got less than 14 years in prison. So what exactly is the standard here?
I’m not surprised that she’s getting off so light since the justice system in East Peoria is probably so desensitized to murders since it’s East Peoria. That’s why I never drive in Peoria unless I have to
people get caught up comparing to the maximum or to other crimes. 14 years is still a long-ass time. who are we to say whether that's enough. idk. nothing will seem enough when you've had your loved ones taken away from you for someone's recklessness.
Watching the body cam from the beginning you see she was able to lie and claim she was not drunk. This shows a level of awareness that makes her callousness toward the people she killed more chilling.
@@tormclean9657iven that a concentration of 0.30% in your body will likely induce you to a coma, if she was at 0.25% she probably had her reasoning severely impaired and on the verge of passing out. Not exonerate her, if one is planning to drink, always have a plan to get back home without driving.
@@tormclean9657 she could have some crazy level of tolerance to alcohol though. I was in the car when one of my (former) friends got a DUI and I didn’t even know he’d been drinking - he blew a .23 and went to jail, and I got a sweet ride home, free from handcuffs, by one of the most generous cops I ever met. Best taxi ride ever
That really doesn't prove anything, it's pretty common from what I've seen for really drunk people to be insistant that they aren't drunk. At a certain blood alcohol level near all rational thought goes out the door.
I don’t understand how the punishment is so light. Drunk driving is a crime killing people is a crime and yet drunk driving while killing someone is seen as less of a crime.
@@Cypurdy life minimum, lmao you're a clown. That's the sentence for first degree murder. Do you realize that worse crimes like intentional premeditated homicide have to have harsher sentences than manslaughter? Clearly you don't, you just give emotionally driven low IQ responses. The max is 28 years for a reason. Her sentence is longer than the other people i know who have done this.
she went to my college, and let me just say she is WIDELY hated. there is not a single person that has forgiven her for what she’s done or forgiven the school for allowing her back after
@@Captain_Willard yep that’s pretty much what happened. they even let her walk at graduation. they just released this video of her arrest even though it happened quite a while ago, but she’s gone now and in jail as far as i know
@@idkwtd97Seriously? I thought they were originally going to let her walk,but then other students at the school protested and they ended up not letting her walk. I could be wrong though.
@@ClaraaR this video wasn’t released until pretty recently, and this happened over a year ago. tbh im not sure if people knew the awful details of her laughing about it until the vid was posted
She was DEFINITELY trying to go to nursing school. it is so incredibly common for horrible, remorseless female bullies who dont care about others to become nurses so that they have people to be mean to and abuse, and thats ABSOLUTELY what she was trying to do. thank god this will prevent her from ever doing that
I always appreciate when you cover these topics. I was a victims of a drunk driver and thankfully I’m still here but it changed my entire life. No excuse, ever.

Sincerely hope your days get easier. Not a victim of that myself but have chronic illnesses and have to go to the doctors monthly where I've met unfortunately too many people who were victims that suffer incredible amounts of pain or lack of movement from spinal injuries. It's sad. To me I was at least somebody who was genetically sick and unhealthy. People like them, plausibly you as well.... we're healthy people doing their things. Just minding their own, following the rules and some jerk went and destroyed that from them. Tore their entire livelihood up. I remember saying at least one thing in many of my conversations with them. "It's always the people doing wrong that fuck it up for the people doing right. And yet we're the ones who feel most of the affects in the end of it all."
I agree with that but you gotta remember this still a real person. I know niggas who used to be addicted to xanax and drive off bars all the time. they wrecked their cars crashed into people and they aint get no where near as much hate as this girl did and we dont even know if shes an addict. She could've just been a casual user who got wasted out their mind did some dumb shit and didnt know how to respond to the situation while also being super fucked up.Thats she reacted with so little remorse she was tryna stay calm and convinced herself the person was still alive. yall gotta keep in mind she blew 4 times the legal limit. She chick was not in her right mind at all yall cant judge her actual character off this one situation
And a number of police departments have said they would rather you call them and ask for a ride home because they would rather take you home instead of the jail or mourge.
Honestly, I don’t think I’d mentally or emotionally handle myself well in a situation where I have to explain to someone how stupid they really are when they make a decision I only see a literal sloth making, my brutal honesty would be through the stratosphere

My dad is an alcoholic. Once while driving drunk he hit someone. The guy survived. Witnesses said he jumped in front of my dad's car and he admitted to it as well. As a kid I didn't understand what was going on. I still remember him not sleeping until he found out the guy was going to survive. Because of the witnesses and victim confession he was never charged but he continued to drive drunk. I had a last straw moment and walked away. I couldn't support it anymore.
I was in college with this person when this happened. We were in the same graduating class.

My father was killed by an unapologetic dui driver. I always appreciate you speaking out against this huge problem and life ruining behavior. It feels like it’s downplayed and glazed over so much especially as a victim.
I think I read at sentencing she also said she needs to live for the 3 of them now so she needs to live life to the fullest.

Not that she hit them but that they hit her car. The two victims were literally on foot walking, not driving. Also another gem was the press conference where her lawyer tried to explain to the media outlets that the girl never planned to hurt anyone when she chose to drive drunk, so therefore it was accidental. Worth a watch just to see the way the man tries to spin it.
From what I know, even according to the U.S constitution someone must have a lawyer represent them in court, unless they chuse not to have one. So I'm guessing most lawyers, being payed, try to come up with some solution to win so they can make the most profit. I don't have a lot of knowledge on law so I'd like to know a lil more if you do.
My wife was at work when this girl showed up at the hospital. The self entitlement from this woman is mind blowing. I remember a protest from the Bradley students to not allow her to walk at the graduation but apparently they still let her.
Kudos to her sister for asking the judge to give her the max sentence of 28 years instead of 14. That judge is deplorable for giving her such a lenient sentence Edit: I have been informed and confirmed that it was actually one of the victim's sisters, NOT the sociopath's sister.
Thats the problem nowadays some judges are such pushovers, i bet it was a dude aswell probably thinking that what she did wasnt all that bad smh if it were any of us, we would've of given her 28 years
I understand that max seems more fair and deserving cause then there's not even a chance she'll ever get out but honestly I'd say 14 years is still pretty great because at the very least she was punished some people do worse and get away scoff free and then there's also the fact that her poor decision making as already shown probably would help ensure she never survives long enough to see the end of her sentence even if she did get out I doubt she'd have anybody to turn to as most people have probably forsaken her already and that'll permanently be on her record so she won't be able to get certain jobs or travel certain places if any at all it'd still be nice for her to get max but at least she was punished and even when she's freed she'll never be able to escape what she's done nobody will forget even if they tried easily if you ever did you could just look up her name and remember what kind of a horrible person she is
@@-NlGHTMARE na i still think and many of us aswell would prefer to give her 28 years like that judge was far too soft, also the fact that its a woman doesnt change anything either as if it was a guy people would of preferred to give him 28 years. Dont be as soft as this judge my guy
@@-NlGHTMARE 14 years for 2 deaths is 7 years per kill... that's a lousy amount... people have been in jail for possession of marijuana a lot longer than 7 years. justice is dead.
I remember I had a coworker nonchalantly tell us she had 7 major car accidents and one of them ended with another person losing their ability to walk. She wasn’t drunk just incredibly negligent but, after 7 times I was so confused her license wasn’t seized and she wasn’t allowed to purchase a vehicle.
Most people have 3-4 major accidents in their life time, 7 isn't really that high, I've already been hit 3 times by other people and totalling 3 cars and also have another major wreck that was my fault that almost killed me, also totalling that car.
@@BradDavid-jg3uh these are accidents she caused from negligence not accidents she has just been in. She’s in her early twenties that is ridiculous. It’s ridiculous they allowed her to be in a vehicle again after multiple events that permanently changed another person life. We should not be normalizing car accidents happening especially from distracted driving. I’ve been multiple car accidents (none my fault) and majority of them were distracted or drunk drivers. These things are avoidable, put the phone down, pull over into a parking lot when searching for something dropped, don’t drink and drive, pay attention to surroundings and frequently check what cars are doing in the vicinity . Cars are thousands of pounds traveling at inhuman speed they can decimate a person(s) easily, the human body is not as durable as people think. We (as in a collective society) all need to be careful, cognizant and defensive when we drive.
@@TheDiggs524 it’s crazy what people can get off of. We are female bartenders, there is definitely a bias to going easy on young, attractive to women. It’s usually not until someone else is hurt that young girls even get ticketed. When I was a teen I got my sister (who deserved a ticket, she was swerving and speeding, while I was sleeping which sounds like her at the time) out of one with a warning from a state trooper. She deserved that ticket, he only didn’t give it to us because I was running late for practice and agreeing she was in the wrong even though I didn’t see anything because I was woken up by the officer after he stopped us.
My best friend was killed by a 19yr old drunk driver. He was 28, had daughter. He was a tow truck driver helping someone on side of the freeway & she drifted off into the side lane & clipped him. If someone you know is trying to leave a party and drive drunk, take their keys away and pay to get them an Uber home. What id pay to get him back.
They should also be someone you used to know. The keys also need throwing into the nearest body of water and calling the locksmith the next day can be a lesson.
@ I can’t remember, probably like 25yrs but she will probably be out in 10yrs or less. I wasn’t as focused mentally on her. Obviously you go through lot of emotions but in the end no amount of justice or revenge bring your loved ones back so I just focused on the memory of my friend.
Those "monsters" won't be sent to jail or what? 'Cuz I'm pretty sure they would be. Unless you mean you want them to go jail AND also be "exposed" by being talked about online. Which means you love the drama, and don't give a fuck about how horrible what they did is, and are just as selfish as them - wanting to see a spectacle. The worst part is, in your narcissistic brain this type of thing is "justice".
"About 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits." So yes there's literally MILLIONS more.
yes but we literally have a word for this: it's called the "bystander affect". People are getting shot and killed and raped and murdered in America every day. You think those people concern me? You think I know their families and know who they are? Human beings are literal shit stains. Why would someone who accidentally killed two people care? She doesn't know them, they didn't know her, they weren't mentors to her or had ANY affect on her life. This strange belief that if you involuntarily cause harm to someone else that you should just fall into tears and depression and become suicidal is stupid. Nobody gives a fuck about other people. If I watched someone get shot 28 times right in front of me, I'm not crying for that shit. Sorry for your family but I don't know who the fuck you are or what you did or why you ended up shot and killed. I don't give a fuck if your mom gave you oatmeal raisin cookies every sunday after you came home from school. We as human beings DO NOT CARE about other people's lives.
I was in the same class as this girl! The cherry on top of it all is that she was constantly drunk driving. When her friends would call her out, she would mock them or play it off. It’s terrible that it culminated in such a violent tragedy
and no one called the police on her for it? not even once? i feel like she should've, and could've, lost her liscence entirely well before the accident...
This gives more weight to the theory that she's a sociopath. Sociopaths don't care about others and unlike narcissists, they're incapable of even pretending to care or pretending to be a decent person. They just don't care.
I went to school with this girl. She’s pregnant now and is going to prison for 14 years. She’s not even the only girl from Farmington who carelessly murdered people. There was another girl in my class that hit someone while texting and driving, and would laugh about her trial in class. She would joke about her friends going to college and then having to visit her through bullet proof glass. Our town breeds psycho women 😣
I was friends with a kid back when I was 15. He was 16. He was being DD for this prom party everyone went to. He was one of the nicest souls you could ever meet. He was the only sober person from both cars and was the only one to die due to a drunk driving accident. The guy who killed him didn’t even get any jail time because of his last name. A few years later my cousin married the guy who killed my friend. so now I have to see my friends killer at every family function. Christmas, thanksgiving, family reunions, ect.. it really fucking sucks. It was 15 almost 16 years ago now and I still cringe and can’t stand to look at him..I have never said more than one word to this guy. does anyone think this will ever go away? Like, do you think I’ll get over it one day? Any advice to do so would be awesome.

I recently started driving on my own at the end of March. I am 21, and it took me this long to get “comfortable” because this is my greatest fear. The thought of you doing what you’re suppose to and some jackass being reckless and killing you is horrifying.
Bro same and I’m 24 just got licensed about a month ago, I’m a good driver but some people suck at driving on a good day and pull this shit on a bad day
do you have any tips for starting to drive so late? i’m 21 and haven’t been able to drive because of my anxiety & adhd. like you said, you could do all the right things and still get sideswiped by some idiot on their phone or under the influence. thanks for sharing & i hope to get comfortable driving eventually like you!
@@sagescorner256Im 25 and have been driving since I was 15 I'll give you some tips. Always go with the flow of traffic don't be that guy going 40 mph while everybody else on the road is driving 50 or 60 miles per hour. When getting on and merging onto the incoming Lane of the highway make sure you're already going highway speeds before you're even on. You want to be at least be going 50 or 55 on the on ramp. You should be at highway speeds once you get on, don't just look in your mirror. Also look behind you out the back window of the car to make sure there's no one there and then Merge. I see a lot of people hesitate when they get on the highway and it always is a pain in the ass for the person behind them, you want to be going as fast or faster when getting on that way you can blend into traffic. A lot of people will get on the highway slow which impedes the traffic behind them and makes it harder to merge because the traffic is going faster and you have to really rev the car up to catch up and it can become dangerous if your car can't get to speed quick enough.
@@sagescorner256When driving in residential areas always drive the posted speed limit. Don't ever speed through residential neighborhoods. Drive safely but aggressive and smart you want to drive like you're heading somewhere not like you're just dilly-dallying not paying attention in traffic. If a vehicle is trying to go faster than you and you think they're riding your ass let them pass you do not hit your brakes get over in the next Lane if you can and let the vehicle pass through.
@@sagescorner256always calculate and plan at least 500 feet ahead of time. If your going down the street headed somewhere and you know that you're going to have to use the right-hand Lane make sure that you're in that lane beforehand don't wait last minute and throw on your blinker and cut everyone off in traffic to get where you need to go. Make sure you're paying attention at all times and always look ahead of you not directly in front of you you should be focused on maintaining your lane and also your surroundings. On the highway the left lane is the fast lane stay out of that lane unless you're going to do 75 mph or faster. Use the middle lane if you're going to be traveling down the highway for a bit and use the right-hand Lane if it's just a short distance that way you don't miss your exit
I lived right by where this happened. She didn't just run over two people, she hit them in an alley way at night going 70+ mph. It was a horrific scene. The couple she hit were just trying to make it to their car... she deserves well over 14 years
Oh my gosh that makes my stomach hurt so bad. May the people she hit rest in peace. I can’t believe she didn’t get more time. I hope karma gets her good
Given how she acted she should've been given prison for life, she's a entitled rich kid that was given all she wanted and she doesn't value anyone else's life except the one who gives her the cash. I'm frankly unsurprised she was given such an insignificant sentence for this crime because this usually occurs...
I live around there also…. I remember hearing that she was in a well off family and figured she’d just get off the hook for her actions cuz of that. Hence her acting the way she did. I dunno either way shits just disgusting behavior
during the part where the officer explained her situation, my headphones started burning my head, I got frustrated as hell. Charles I respect you so much for being so outspoken about drunk driving.
I feel an inhuman amount of disgust when it comes to drunk drivers. My closest cousin and her best friend were killed 6 years ago due to a drunk driver. RIP Liz 🙏
Charlie buddy, I’m an ER nurse and I’ve seen this countless amounts of times of people laughing and joking while we work on the patient next door that they hit. It’s nuts.
In your estimation (or proven experience), do you think it's just the alcohol at play or does it trigger psychopathy in some people? If she were completely intoxicated I'd imagine more slurring, more visible muscle control and balance issues, eyes floating about and a less animated tone of voice. You said it's nuts and I wonder if that holds more truth than you meant with the expression.
@@jairkerker2821 alcohol is a huge factor for sure. They get more agitated at times, so they don’t appear to be as slurred or out of it. They try to act sober and appear more alert to act like it didn’t happen. I don’t think it’s their intention to be this sickening but it’s hard not to wonder if they really mean what they are saying. In my experience to me if she was sober and did this then yes I would say it’s more of a psych issue but with alcohol it’s then being intoxicated and unaware of the reality of the situation. It’s more or less nuts on how many times that people act like this when something like this happens when they are intoxicated.
@@tristandelarosa42069 Thank you for your extensive answer, I appreciate it. It has to make you wonder how, of all drugs, alcohol is the one that's legal and socially accepted. Good luck, and thank you for doing your important and difficult work.
@@tristandelarosa42069 thank you for sharing. 1 last question, the people who do laugh or not care about killing ppl while drunk. Once they sober up, is it typical for them to “snap out of it” and realize the severity …. Maybe even show remorse? I’m just asking because I seen that girls whole body cam, she was so drunk that she couldn’t understand or remember ANYTHING so curious from someone with experience if you attribute the callous nature to being black out drunk or something else
I served as a juror on an intoxication manslaughter trial in 2007. Not only was the medical examiner’s testimony sobering, the scene photographs were horrific. Every juror was shook. Hearing that someone was killed by a drunk driver is one thing. To hear the grizzly details & see the actual havoc wrought is much more impactful. I firmly believe that every new driver course, defensive driving course, AA meeting, & all DUI probation programs should require a review of such report details & photos.
They do it's called mothers against drunk driving panel-it is a required course if you don't want to serve jail time it's actually a choice it's actually a choice of the panel or serving time in jail
@@cindi8318 doesn't that only occur after a drunk driving offense? I meant it should happen during every driving course of any type for any driver. It was incredibly impactful.
I had something similar when I got my VCA (basically a certificate that allows me to work in a hazardous enviroment like construction sites in the Netherlands), we had to watch workplace accident videos to really drive home the point of "this could be you". Like a guy walking infront of a forktruck and between a trailer, then getting hit by the forktruck and pulled into the trailer with the pallet and subsequently squashed by the pallet. Cause forktrucks have terrible forward vision when carrying a pallet, which is why they normally drive backwards except that final stretch into the trailer and thus why you never walk infront of a forktruck. Also a guy who was working on a electrical installation and put a tag on the breaker so while he's working he won't get electrocuted, only for some utter twat to walk in, ignore the tag and flip the breaker probably killing his coworker. Really still makes me think twice about my actions on the work floor to this day.
@@jerritanner275 I can only attest to my situation; our local coroner ran the school’s driving classes so we could get a permit to park on campus. I can 100% confirm she made us learn about those details. I ended up telling my parents about it and got the best response I think any parent could give. “You are old enough to drive, you’re mature enough to know what your behavior could cause.” At the time that response hurt, but five years later I appreciate the brutality of it, even though it was so out of character for them.
I've had drunker people hit me with a balloon and feel guilty until they sober up along with being around those who are so concerned about others as their friends are dragging them home they're going "are you okay you're alone if you need to walk with us" even if you're just waiting on your pizza delivery. I don't get her as ik alcoholics in my family who wouldn't even act like this drunk
from my experience Driving is awesome and a lot fun BUT always look out for other drivers there are sadly a lot of idiots on the streets who i think somehow cheated there way through the license test and sometimes old folk who should redo their drivers license so have fun driving but always be cautious of your surroundings
The selective hearing on this girl to only hear what pertains to herself is staggering! Almost like she didn’t even hear the officer say anything about two people being killed because of her, only what he said about her going to jail and missing school
I know that I'm not her but I wouldn't say that being intoxicated is an excuse for having no remorse for her actions. Even when I'm hammered and can't even walk correctly, I can still understand what's going on around me and what I'm being told. How she couldn't grasp how fucked up the situation is, is beyond me.
When I’m drunk I just go into the Dissociation Zone I can’t imagine getting in a car and driving. I still know it’s wrong! Even when black out I don’t want to hurt people- my morals always stay
The most disturbing part of this case isnt the fact that she killed 2 people or the fact that she showed no remorse. Its the fact that she got only 14 YEARS. And with good behavior she'll be out in less
@@daddyallen4889 I don't think you understand how impactful two lifes are. She shouldn't come out EVER. Those people existed for more than 18 years, and she just gets to nullify that? It should be AT LEAST 50 years, if not just more. She DOESN'T deserve to get out, ever. Shouldn't have destroyed so many lives, including the FAMILIES.
@@daddyallen4889 imagine you're minding your own business and some guy comes and kills you for no reason and only gets 7 years in jail as a punishment. Is that fair? Only if you think your life is worth just 7 years is that fair
Even while drunk, she was aware enough to think about the future and missing class. Not to mention clearly some time had passed between when she was drinking and then, and being literally arrested should've been sobering at least a bit. She had the ability to care, she just didn't.
She got offended when the officer said it was a horrible thing to kill two people lol. Like who would get offended at such a straightforward and true statement? Seems like she is insensitive to everything else but when it turns into criticism of her and she is suddenly hyper sensitive!!
There are people who are drunk drivers, get into accident like these and just live with guilt for most of their lives. Seeing her have none is frightening. She's going to get out of jail, going to still get into a relationship, sympathy and probably have children.
Oh 100%, the vast majority of sane individuals can sober up FAST when something like this happens. I have been plastered drunk but when the police show up that fades very fast, much less if I was in an accident, or was in some serious shit like this. It takes a special type of psycho to be this nonchalant about 3rd degree murder. I thought 90+ yr olds with dementia were worth worrying about on the road but this is no doubt worse.
I remember when this accident happened. I live about 45 minutes from her university in Peoria, IL. This shocked the entire community surrounding Peoria including my town. I had forgotten about this until Charlie made a video about it. I hope the victims’ families find peace.
@@maharajashiv3086 Dead serious. When it first happened, obviously the number one thing local media and my area’s Facebook groups honed in on was her unusual and quite frankly disgusting response to what had happened based on what was reported by the police. I remember how appalled i was and how outraged many of us were that she got to graduate. But after seeing the body cam footage straight up instead of what was just reported by the news, it really brought in a whole new perspective on her behavior and I’m surprised I haven’t see more local discourse now that the footage has been released. But I think we as a community have mostly moved on from the situation. Still pretty damn sad. It’s not often that these nationally covered type things occur in central Illinois. But this was one of them. And in her instance, it really did cause a widespread upset for all communities around Peoria. I don’t think I saw a single person coming to her to defense when the news broke.
@@maharajashiv3086 That being said, despite there not being a ton of discourse on the recently released verdict and footage, there are still plenty of bad apples who have chosen to go and harass her family because of what she did. It’s really sad that people are focusing their hate on the people who had nothing to do with the situation instead of continuing support for the victims. Wild shit man.
People have been saying “tardy to the party” for quite some time actually. He def didn’t come up with that himself haha. For those who ARENT familiar with the Real Housewives of Atlanta, cast member Kim Zolciak actually recorded a song called “Tardy for the Party” back in like ‘09 😂
One time when I was drunk at a house party at my place, my shihtzu bit a friend of mine in the face (nothing crazy, he's an old dog with no teeth) and i became so utterly guilt-ridden and upset that i locked myself in a closet to cry. If you told me that I killed two innocent people while I was drunk, I'd be so ashamed. I honestly wouldn't be able to live with myself. She's a monster.
@@andrewnaranjo6514 worst part is she will probably play the victim and say how everything is unfair. Gee, kinda like being killed by a drunk maniac while walking home, don't ya think?
I was sick when I heard the 14 yr sentence too. How dare that judge devalue those two human beings' lives! I hope at least she is not eligible for parole. I also hope the victim's family sues the crap out of her. She is the most dangerous narcissist on the planet.
I’ve heard of a case where a group of old men, who dismembered and defiled the body of a 20 year old kid they killed, laughed IN COURT about how the kid was begging for his mom. They got 12 years each
I love how passionate youve been about this issue, Charlie. I have BAD road anxiety, i didnt even start driving until 21 and i still cant drive long distances. I am terrified on the road due to people like this. You condemning these actions brings me some peace that more people will avoid this behavior
I just started driving too and I only barely turned 21 last year. I was super anxious at first too, I still kind of am, especially with the prospect of driving on the highway which I haven’t done yet. But overall I’m not too anxious anymore. I’ve been easing into it. And honestly it’s best you get over that anxiousness as soon as you can. It only makes driving more dangerous if you’re constantly on edge. My gf is like that, she was a super anxious driver and it made her make decisions less accurately until she got us Into a really bad accident. It’s understandable to be anxious about people like this on the road but it’s important to realize that these people are indeed a minority. I always keep my eye out for people like this tho. Doesn’t hurt to look both ways even if the light is green you know? But trust me, driving becomes alot easier when you’re not constantly stressed out. Good luck out there mate, stay safe. Hope you never run into some dumbass like this lady
I dont drink, I have seen what it does to people. I have been in an accident (black ice no one but me was hit) before and understand accidents. But drunk driving isnt an accident, its a choice to put everyone else in danger and absolutely disgusting behavior.
I have so much anxiety that I refuse to drive unless absolutely necessary. This story was so sickening and so frightening; I know my fear is unhealthy and then to think that there are people like this on the road...
I was in a really bad car accident almost 15 years ago. I nearly scalped myself and broke my nose, bones in my face. I’m terrified of driving now and refuse to do it. Most people don’t understand why and it’s so hard to actually explain the immense fear and anxiety I feel. I’m also a real pita as a passenger as I’m constantly on edge and pointing out potential “dangers”. Please be safe out there.
Friend of mine lost their younger brother to a distracted driver hitting him head on 25mph over the speed limit, the driver only got 2 years of probation. I feel absolutely terrible for the families and friends of the two individuals who lost their lives in this reckless and ignorant situation.

The JoOdiShuL system
Corporate interests should not weigh more than public interest. This being the case, we need to demand reform.
We have become way too complacent with rampant corporatism usurping our entire society. This needs to stop.
I remember when capitalism was a form of consumerism in which the rights of the consumer weighed more than the rights of the producer. Slowly over the past 10-20 years this has eroded because of a lack of consumer litigation. Most millenials hate the court system and have no idea how to file litigation.

I'm terrified. I'm genuinely terrified. That people like this exist. I've been dealing with alcoholism for years and not ONCE have I driven under the influence and NEVER has it crossed my mind.
thats wassup
My wife and daughter wish to obtain their driver’s licenses. I don’t worry for them because of their ability to drive, I worry because of people like her are on the roads. Driving under the influence is inexcusable. I have seen first hand what it does to a family. My father’s elder brother who never drank, was a good and decent man who was involved in many charities, was driving with his family to Melbourne Australia from Canberra in our nation’s capital. They were going on holiday and in the car was my uncle, his wife, and my two cousins aged 5 and 2. A drunk driver crossed over to the wrong side of the road and hit them head on. My uncle was killed instantly, my aunt was in a coma which lasted 3 months, and my 2 year old cousin was brain damaged and put on life support. My 5 year old cousin was unscathed, physically, but endured a lifetime of mental trauma all stemming from that accident. She’s been in and out of institutions for most of her adult life. My father had to make the agonising decision to turn off life support, an act which my Nana never forgave him for but which was the best decision given her prognosis. She was brain dead and machines were keeping her alive. My father struggled with alcoholism and my family bore the brunt of his inability to cope. All because some dickhead couldn’t be bothered to get a taxi home.
I have no sympathy for those who drive under the influence.
My boyfriend's dad drove drunk all the time years ago (before I knew them). He actually went to jail for a year or so for it. Thankfully he never crashed or hurt someone, but the police found him pulled over a bunch of times sleeping it off I guess, with a high blood alcohol level. Since he went to prison he hasn't driven drunk as far as I know, but he's still an alcoholic.
I don't know how my bf turned out so well honestly; he has never drunk any alcohol because he witnessed all the problems drinking caused his parents. Similarly, when I was a teenager I decided not to ever get drunk because there's alcoholism in my family too :/
Alcoholism is a bitch; I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I hope things get better for you!
@Kfox I’m genuinely sorry to hear your struggles with alcohol. I can certainly empathise with you as I had my own struggles with alcohol and addiction. It is possible to overcome this. For me it was working on the underlying issues which caused me to want to get wasted in the first place. Once I did that, I became able to get my addictions under control. You’re a beautiful young woman with so much to look forward to in life. I sincerely hope you’re able to overcome your issues and live your best life.
@Daniel thank you. I know exactly what the underlying cause is, so I'm doing my best to work on that. There's nothing worse than feeling dependent on a substance. Baby steps!
14 years for killing 2 people, but we got people still in prison after 20 years for smoking weed
That's not true,to get 20 years you had to do more than smoke some weed
Repeat offenders "effectively" stay in a long time because they refuse to go without for more than 2 weeks or stupidly break probation constantly. Plus once you're in the system, it's harder to stay out, they're more likely to be on your ass for something.
she’s never had to take any accountability for anything she has ever done and it’s so goddamn evident.
Am I crazy though or is she not just drunk? Like, the reason she’s laughing in the hospital is that she just doesn’t process what’s going on around her since her BAC is like barely keeping her conscious. I’m not sure if she would react that way if she understood that she had killed someone and was sober.
This whole video just seems silly to me. We’re not looking at some psychopath who doesn’t care that they killed 2 people. We’re looking at what a normal person is capable of understanding when they’re hammered. When she wakes up later, then she’ll have to be re-informed of her situation and she’ll understand.

@@leopardduck4490 thats why charlie looks to me a bit stupid given his emotional impulsereaction, like hes totally misinterpreting her, she may be high in addition, she may not yet realise what happend, she may downplay it instinctively to avoid a menthal breakdown, we dont know and all of what i said is more probable than: well shes just a selfish unresponsible prick "duh".
@@leopardduck4490 I have been literally nearly blackout drunk and still able to at least comprehend a serious situation like this, no amount of drunk makes someone this much of a piece of garbage. She just already was one.
@@leopardduck4490 Not sure what kind of people you've seen "be hammered", but that is NOT normal at any level of BAC.
As a psychologist, I saw this video last week (prior to Charlie’s perspective). When I watched it in its entirety, I was horrified by how she initially tried to blame the victims and then claimed that she only hit one person (I believe these were pedestrians). The victims were struck so hard that some of their limbs were nearly completely disarticulated (i.e., torn off). She also thought she should get some type of credit for calling 911 herself. In the video, she displays narcissistic behavior to such an extreme that her behaviors are consistent with sociopathy. Being intoxicated generally enhances the mood state experienced while also being a CNS depressant. So, if someone gravely hurts another person while intoxicated, it should made a “normal” person with a conscience and empathy feel even more upset and inconsolable, particularly since she saw the bodies. Normal people would be so upset if they just killed two people; they would likely be throwing up and weeping uncontrollably. In the hospital, it was as if she pretends he didn’t just say she killed two people. She appeared mildly upset after the police officer stated his utter disgust in her behavior when she kept pressing him about her missing classes (btw the officer exhibited extraordinary restrain when he did speak, particularly after witnessing her singing, dancing, and laughing). Her upset was more incredulousness that the officer would say what he did. At that point, she asked if he was “allowed” to say what he did. She is lucky that was all that was said. I agree with Charlie; since she didn’t actually know the people she killed, she was unfazed. The video is a chilling example of sociopathy.
I did read that. You’re right, I’m a very good elective psychology student. My mind just couldn’t process the insanity of this.
You nailed it.
It’s scary people like this walk (and drive) among us.

This isn't (just) stupidity, it's unbridled narcissism.
Narcissism is genuinely terrifying. My stepdad was a narcissist and the stuff he did and thought was ok was horrid and absurd. Obviously it’s mental illness and it can be a little more complicated than just think different or whatever but it’s just awful
@@feebler8819 Yes, but it's not a mental illness that you're born with or that needs to be medicated or that you can't fix; it's a personality disorder. Narcissists definitely don't get a pass like other more serious and uncontrollable conditions (ex. bipolar disorder).
Basically, if your narcissism leads to you harming others, you should get the book thrown at you.

what pisses me off the most is most of the time, the drunk driver has minor injuries, while the family they hit is dead. then they suffer minor repercussions, if any, for the crime they committed absolutely despicable
Drunk people are loose and unaware- while sober people tense up upon impact and that causes more damage
@@blairesart4160 I think that another thing that has to do with it is that drunk drivers most frequently end up in head-on collisions, which is what the seatbelt and airbag are designed to most absorb. Drunk drivers are the ones who most often blow through red lights and end up T-boning another car, which causes major injuries.
My best friend died when she was eleven with her mum because of a drunk driver he gets to have his life he didnt do any time even after it was found that he was intoxicated and on his phone at the time of the accident i lost my favourite human being and he got less than a slap on the wrist
My dad and his gf were killed by a drunk driver when I was 18. I just turned 30 and I can tell you right now, it's something that is absolutely unforgiveable. and yet they are hardly punished. The woman who killed my family was only sentenced to 9 years for both (combined) and got out EARLY due to good behaviour. This woman probably got more just because of the public eye factor but usually, drunk drivers are not held accountable like they should be. This world needs to change.

Man I'm so sorry. I lost my dad when I was 14.
So sorry to hear that man 😞
I think what pisses me off most about this is that she doesn’t have a SINGLE scratch but just took those two peoples lives :(
Cars are actually built in a way that protects most drivers who collide head on. Most cars have little to no protection from the sides. Though these victims were pedestrians so they stood even less of a chance against her car :(
A lot of times, drunk drivers are able to escape with minimal injuries because their bodies don't really get tense during a crash and are able to avoid panicking. My dad has been in a few wrecks (sometimes under the influence of drugs and sometimes alcohol) and he's gotten away relatively unscathed, only need hospital care for a couple hours.
@@GmmBeast actually the tensing part is true, the muscles don’t tense so they absorb the impact instead of being ripped/torn and the bones don’t need to take the shock, the panicking saves lives as well by overreacting and saving the victim, instead of both of them being hurt/killed

Your channel is one of the ones I turn to when I'm craving a drink. As someone who has driven drunk in the past, I appreciate so much that you are so blunt about your distain for drunk drivers, and the fact you call it unforgivable. Because it is. I don't seek forgiveness for driving drunk, I don't deserve it. All I can do is keep moving forward, not do it again, and be thankful I never hurt or killed anyone.
I have too. I never hurt anyone either, but that's still not good. I don't do it now, mostly because I don't drink now. There was always a good reason to, sometimes you run out and have to go to the store. I know, I was there. Never again though. It won't stop though, you know how it was. Best we can do is stop ourselves, and that's pretty good.
I've driven drunk a 1000 times and fortunately I was never in a wreck. I don't drink anymore for the last 12 years
The worst part is that her family are crying wolf and saying she ‘doesn’t deserve the hate’ she’s ‘been through enough’. Like so have the families of her two victims. She deserves every ounce of hate thrown her way.

One of the most sickening parts of this story is when she was pulled over, one of the victim’s _DISMEMBERED LEGS_ was wedged in the car’s grill…and she had NO reaction to it. That’s one of the most gruesome things I’ve ever heard happen in a drunk-driving accident…
*Edit: To the very few people commenting who’re defending her actions, stop…just fucking _STOP._ I cannot believe some of y’all are actually siding with this killer. I know it’s a sick way to get a shock factor from us, but it literally makes you just as vile and ice-cold as her. Though she was clearly under the influence of _something,_ it doesn’t excuse what she’s done in any single way. She killed 2 innocent people & showed absolutely _NO_ remorse for it. We can only hope she doesn’t do it again when she gets out. Also I found out about the severed leg from Fox News for those who were wondering. Please guys, I’m begging you, don’t drive if you’ve drank or taken any substances. That temporary euphoric high isn’t more important than taking someone else’s life. Get an Uber or taxi-it’s that simple.
**2nd Edit: Melgoza was sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison, but under Illinois law, she’s only required to serve about 85% of that sentence; combined w/ credit for time served, she’ll probably get out within the next 11.5 years. I think that’s pretty despicable given that I still don’t believe she’s shown genuine remorse nor really accepted full responsibility for her actions that night. During her sentencing, she reportedly “expressed great remorse” for her actions, but I think she’s more upset at the idea of going to prison than for hitting those two people. I hope she doesn’t get out anytime soon…

I agree with that but you gotta remember this still a real person. I know niggas who used to be addicted to xanax and drive off bars all the time. they wrecked their cars crashed into people and they aint get no where near as much hate as this girl did and we dont even know if shes an addict. She could've just been a casual user who got wasted out their mind did some dumb shit and didnt know how to respond to the situation while also being super fucked up.Thats she reacted with so little remorse she was tryna stay calm and convinced herself the person was still alive. yall gotta keep in mind she blew 4 times the legal limit. She chick was not in her right mind at all yall cant judge her actual character off this one situation

@In the paint hard bro get a fucking grip, it isn't about flexing your big brain reddit point internet knowledge all the time. Calling somebody by a mental illness as an insult results in the following;
1) it creates stigma and bias around the illness
2) people diagnosed with such illness are ostracized and damaged and traumatized
3) research, therapy, and getting help and assistance is considered more taboo as the disorder seems like something to be ashamed of
4) this cascade of a cycle can make it even harder for an individual with issues to maintain a healthy lifestyle; remember, you can be mentally ill and be in good health if you learn to live with it, which they do not
Another thing to add, VERY FEW psychopaths actually end up harming people
ANOTHER, she is showing signs of apathy, not delusion, so you can't even call her a psychopath
TLDR; don't use mental disorders as insults or personality traits you're doing more harm than people who are actually suffering from those conditions.

My dad is an alcoholic. Once while driving drunk he hit someone. The guy survived. Witnesses said he jumped in front of my dad's car and he admitted to it as well. As a kid I didn't understand what was going on. I still remember him not sleeping until he found out the guy was going to survive. Because of the witnesses and victim confession he was never charged but he continued to drive drunk. I had a last straw moment and walked away. I couldn't support it anymore.

Stephanie Melgoza. She actually bonded out of jail and finished college before she was sent to prison.
Kudos to her sister for asking the judge to give her the max sentence of 28 years instead of 14. That judge is deplorable for giving her such a lenient sentence
Edit: I have been informed and confirmed that it was actually one of the victim's sisters, NOT the sociopath's sister.
Thats the problem nowadays some judges are such pushovers, i bet it was a dude aswell probably thinking that what she did wasnt all that bad smh if it were any of us, we would've of given her 28 years
I understand that max seems more fair and deserving cause then there's not even a chance she'll ever get out but honestly I'd say 14 years is still pretty great because at the very least she was punished some people do worse and get away scoff free
and then there's also the fact that her poor decision making as already shown probably would help ensure she never survives long enough to see the end of her sentence
even if she did get out I doubt she'd have anybody to turn to as most people have probably forsaken her already and that'll permanently be on her record so she won't be able to get certain jobs or travel certain places if any at all
it'd still be nice for her to get max but at least she was punished and even when she's freed she'll never be able to escape what she's done nobody will forget even if they tried easily if you ever did you could just look up her name and remember what kind of a horrible person she is

@@BradDavid-jg3uh these are accidents she caused from negligence not accidents she has just been in. She’s in her early twenties that is ridiculous. It’s ridiculous they allowed her to be in a vehicle again after multiple events that permanently changed another person life.
We should not be normalizing car accidents happening especially from distracted driving. I’ve been multiple car accidents (none my fault) and majority of them were distracted or drunk drivers. These things are avoidable, put the phone down, pull over into a parking lot when searching for something dropped, don’t drink and drive, pay attention to surroundings and frequently check what cars are doing in the vicinity . Cars are thousands of pounds traveling at inhuman speed they can decimate a person(s) easily, the human body is not as durable as people think. We (as in a collective society) all need to be careful, cognizant and defensive when we drive.
@@TheDiggs524 it’s crazy what people can get off of. We are female bartenders, there is definitely a bias to going easy on young, attractive to women. It’s usually not until someone else is hurt that young girls even get ticketed.
When I was a teen I got my sister (who deserved a ticket, she was swerving and speeding, while I was sleeping which sounds like her at the time) out of one with a warning from a state trooper. She deserved that ticket, he only didn’t give it to us because I was running late for practice and agreeing she was in the wrong even though I didn’t see anything because I was woken up by the officer after he stopped us.
My best friend was killed by a 19yr old drunk driver. He was 28, had daughter. He was a tow truck driver helping someone on side of the freeway & she drifted off into the side lane & clipped him. If someone you know is trying to leave a party and drive drunk, take their keys away and pay to get them an Uber home. What id pay to get him back.
They should also be someone you used to know. The keys also need throwing into the nearest body of water and calling the locksmith the next day can be a lesson.

How Much Time Did She Get?
@ I can’t remember, probably like 25yrs but she will probably be out in 10yrs or less. I wasn’t as focused mentally on her. Obviously you go through lot of emotions but in the end no amount of justice or revenge bring your loved ones back so I just focused on the memory of my friend.
14 years is way too little. Unforgiveable
The scary part is there so many more monsters like her who probably won't get exposed unless something like this happens.
Those "monsters" won't be sent to jail or what? 'Cuz I'm pretty sure they would be. Unless you mean you want them to go jail AND also be "exposed" by being talked about online. Which means you love the drama, and don't give a fuck about how horrible what they did is, and are just as selfish as them - wanting to see a spectacle.
The worst part is, in your narcissistic brain this type of thing is "justice".
"About 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits."
So yes there's literally MILLIONS more.
They just haven’t been given a good chance to kill anyone yet
yes but we literally have a word for this: it's called the "bystander affect". People are getting shot and killed and raped and murdered in America every day. You think those people concern me? You think I know their families and know who they are? Human beings are literal shit stains. Why would someone who accidentally killed two people care? She doesn't know them, they didn't know her, they weren't mentors to her or had ANY affect on her life. This strange belief that if you involuntarily cause harm to someone else that you should just fall into tears and depression and become suicidal is stupid. Nobody gives a fuck about other people. If I watched someone get shot 28 times right in front of me, I'm not crying for that shit. Sorry for your family but I don't know who the fuck you are or what you did or why you ended up shot and killed. I don't give a fuck if your mom gave you oatmeal raisin cookies every sunday after you came home from school. We as human beings DO NOT CARE about other people's lives.
Women nowadays are not held accountable for their actions
I was in the same class as this girl! The cherry on top of it all is that she was constantly drunk driving. When her friends would call her out, she would mock them or play it off. It’s terrible that it culminated in such a violent tragedy
Absolutely tragic. Her caregivers were probably drunk drivers too, or they were abusive and she was just looking for a high.
and no one called the police on her for it? not even once? i feel like she should've, and could've, lost her liscence entirely well before the accident...
No one called the police before ?? this death could have been prevented???
@@bigpigeon2002 Police should absolutely be given more power to try and prevent crimes before they happen
This gives more weight to the theory that she's a sociopath. Sociopaths don't care about others and unlike narcissists, they're incapable of even pretending to care or pretending to be a decent person. They just don't care.
I went to school with this girl. She’s pregnant now and is going to prison for 14 years. She’s not even the only girl from Farmington who carelessly murdered people. There was another girl in my class that hit someone while texting and driving, and would laugh about her trial in class. She would joke about her friends going to college and then having to visit her through bullet proof glass. Our town breeds psycho women 😣

I was friends with a kid back when I was 15. He was 16. He was being DD for this prom party everyone went to. He was one of the nicest souls you could ever meet. He was the only sober person from both cars and was the only one to die due to a drunk driving accident. The guy who killed him didn’t even get any jail time because of his last name.

@@sagescorner256Im 25 and have been driving since I was 15 I'll give you some tips. Always go with the flow of traffic don't be that guy going 40 mph while everybody else on the road is driving 50 or 60 miles per hour. When getting on and merging onto the incoming Lane of the highway make sure you're already going highway speeds before you're even on. You want to be at least be going 50 or 55 on the on ramp. You should be at highway speeds once you get on, don't just look in your mirror. Also look behind you out the back window of the car to make sure there's no one there and then Merge. I see a lot of people hesitate when they get on the highway and it always is a pain in the ass for the person behind them, you want to be going as fast or faster when getting on that way you can blend into traffic. A lot of people will get on the highway slow which impedes the traffic behind them and makes it harder to merge because the traffic is going faster and you have to really rev the car up to catch up and it can become dangerous if your car can't get to speed quick enough.
@@sagescorner256When driving in residential areas always drive the posted speed limit. Don't ever speed through residential neighborhoods. Drive safely but aggressive and smart you want to drive like you're heading somewhere not like you're just dilly-dallying not paying attention in traffic. If a vehicle is trying to go faster than you and you think they're riding your ass let them pass you do not hit your brakes get over in the next Lane if you can and let the vehicle pass through.
@@sagescorner256always calculate and plan at least 500 feet ahead of time. If your going down the street headed somewhere and you know that you're going to have to use the right-hand Lane make sure that you're in that lane beforehand don't wait last minute and throw on your blinker and cut everyone off in traffic to get where you need to go. Make sure you're paying attention at all times and always look ahead of you not directly in front of you you should be focused on maintaining your lane and also your surroundings. On the highway the left lane is the fast lane stay out of that lane unless you're going to do 75 mph or faster. Use the middle lane if you're going to be traveling down the highway for a bit and use the right-hand Lane if it's just a short distance that way you don't miss your exit
I lived right by where this happened. She didn't just run over two people, she hit them in an alley way at night going 70+ mph. It was a horrific scene. The couple she hit were just trying to make it to their car... she deserves well over 14 years
In an ALLEYWAY. going 70 mph in a fucking ALLEYWAY. demon behaviour
Oh my gosh that makes my stomach hurt so bad. May the people she hit rest in peace. I can’t believe she didn’t get more time. I hope karma gets her good
Given how she acted she should've been given prison for life, she's a entitled rich kid that was given all she wanted and she doesn't value anyone else's life except the one who gives her the cash.

In your estimation (or proven experience), do you think it's just the alcohol at play or does it trigger psychopathy in some people? If she were completely intoxicated I'd imagine more slurring, more visible muscle control and balance issues, eyes floating about and a less animated tone of voice.
You said it's nuts and I wonder if that holds more truth than you meant with the expression.
@@jairkerker2821 alcohol is a huge factor for sure. They get more agitated at times, so they don’t appear to be as slurred or out of it. They try to act sober and appear more alert to act like it didn’t happen. I don’t think it’s their intention to be this sickening but it’s hard not to wonder if they really mean what they are saying. In my experience to me if she was sober and did this then yes I would say it’s more of a psych issue but with alcohol it’s then being intoxicated and unaware of the reality of the situation. It’s more or less nuts on how many times that people act like this when something like this happens when they are intoxicated.

I served as a juror on an intoxication manslaughter trial in 2007. Not only was the medical examiner’s testimony sobering, the scene photographs were horrific. Every juror was shook. Hearing that someone was killed by a drunk driver is one thing. To hear the grizzly details & see the actual havoc wrought is much more impactful. I firmly believe that every new driver course, defensive driving course, AA meeting, & all DUI probation programs should require a review of such report details & photos.
They do it's called mothers against drunk driving panel-it is a required course if you don't want to serve jail time it's actually a choice it's actually a choice of the panel or serving time in jail
@@cindi8318 doesn't that only occur after a drunk driving offense? I meant it should happen during every driving course of any type for any driver. It was incredibly impactful.
I had something similar when I got my VCA (basically a certificate that allows me to work in a hazardous enviroment like construction sites in the Netherlands), we had to watch workplace accident videos to really drive home the point of "this could be you". Like a guy walking infront of a forktruck and between a trailer, then getting hit by the forktruck and pulled into the trailer with the pallet and subsequently squashed by the pallet. Cause forktrucks have terrible forward vision when carrying a pallet, which is why they normally drive backwards except that final stretch into the trailer and thus why you never walk infront of a forktruck. Also a guy who was working on a electrical installation and put a tag on the breaker so while he's working he won't get electrocuted, only for some utter twat to walk in, ignore the tag and flip the breaker probably killing his coworker. Really still makes me think twice about my actions on the work floor to this day.

I can only attest to my situation; our local coroner ran the school’s driving classes so we could get a permit to park on campus.
I can 100% confirm she made us learn about those details. I ended up telling my parents about it and got the best response I think any parent could give.
“You are old enough to drive, you’re mature enough to know what your behavior could cause.”
At the time that response hurt, but five years later I appreciate the brutality of it, even though it was so out of character for them.

from my experience Driving is awesome and a lot fun
BUT always look out for other drivers there are sadly a lot of idiots on the streets who i think somehow cheated there way through the license test and sometimes old folk who should redo their drivers license
so have fun driving but always be cautious of your surroundings
She is on H and is prolly drunk and high on weed as well . but i defenatily see methadone being apart of the equation here if not h
Focus pay attention to EVERY driver around you alot of them are terrible drivers when they are sober forget about being drunk too
this is so true, im terrified im not only at the mercy of my own actions, but also the actions of complete strangers
Drive like everyone is an idiot. Don't trust turn signals, and just because a light turns green doesn't mean the cars always stop, so look first.
The selective hearing on this girl to only hear what pertains to herself is staggering! Almost like she didn’t even hear the officer say anything about two people being killed because of her, only what he said about her going to jail and missing school
I know that I'm not her but I wouldn't say that being intoxicated is an excuse for having no remorse for her actions. Even when I'm hammered and can't even walk correctly, I can still understand what's going on around me and what I'm being told. How she couldn't grasp how fucked up the situation is, is beyond me.
She was drunk.
@V G Yes intoxicated means under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
She was playing dumb, likely.
When I’m drunk I just go into the Dissociation Zone I can’t imagine getting in a car and driving. I still know it’s wrong! Even when black out I don’t want to hurt people- my morals always stay
@@NotAnotherKuromi Yes, which is what she was. Did you have trouble understanding? It's OK.
The most disturbing part of this case isnt the fact that she killed 2 people or the fact that she showed no remorse. Its the fact that she got only 14 YEARS. And with good behavior she'll be out in less
She'll be out in no time and gunning for you next!
I don’t think ppl understand how long 14 years is
@@daddyallen4889 I don't think you understand DEATH
@@daddyallen4889 I don't think you understand how impactful two lifes are.
She shouldn't come out EVER. Those people existed for more than 18 years, and she just gets to nullify that? It should be AT LEAST 50 years, if not just more. She DOESN'T deserve to get out, ever. Shouldn't have destroyed so many lives, including the FAMILIES.
@@daddyallen4889 imagine you're minding your own business and some guy comes and kills you for no reason and only gets 7 years in jail as a punishment. Is that fair? Only if you think your life is worth just 7 years is that fair
Even while drunk, she was aware enough to think about the future and missing class. Not to mention clearly some time had passed between when she was drinking and then, and being literally arrested should've been sobering at least a bit. She had the ability to care, she just didn't.
YES, exactly ! Thank you.
She got offended when the officer said it was a horrible thing to kill two people lol. Like who would get offended at such a straightforward and true statement? Seems like she is insensitive to everything else but when it turns into criticism of her and she is suddenly hyper sensitive!!
There are people who are drunk drivers, get into accident like these and just live with guilt for most of their lives. Seeing her have none is frightening. She's going to get out of jail, going to still get into a relationship, sympathy and probably have children.
Oh 100%, the vast majority of sane individuals can sober up FAST when something like this happens. I have been plastered drunk but when the police show up that fades very fast, much less if I was in an accident, or was in some serious shit like this. It takes a special type of psycho to be this nonchalant about 3rd degree murder. I thought 90+ yr olds with dementia were worth worrying about on the road but this is no doubt worse.
More of a Case of Intoxication. Realisation hits harder than regret. She doesnt realise it yet obviously.
The patience of the cop booking her in was almost Jedi levels!! Everything you said I & any1 with a brain & empathy fully agrees with 100%.
finding your way home whilst drunk in this day & age is effortless. she deserves more than 14 years.
savage
absolutely
Oh, you know why SHE got off this light.
@@hardlogic3046 yeah because she's white. nothing to do with her gender goofball.
Way more
I remember when this accident happened. I live about 45 minutes from her university in Peoria, IL. This shocked the entire community surrounding Peoria including my town. I had forgotten about this until Charlie made a video about it. I hope the victims’ families find peace.
Comment Vulture? or Seriously?
@@maharajashiv3086 Dead serious. When it first happened, obviously the number one thing local media and my area’s Facebook groups honed in on was her unusual and quite frankly disgusting response to what had happened based on what was reported by the police. I remember how appalled i was and how outraged many of us were that she got to graduate. But after seeing the body cam footage straight up instead of what was just reported by the news, it really brought in a whole new perspective on her behavior and I’m surprised I haven’t see more local discourse now that the footage has been released. But I think we as a community have mostly moved on from the situation. Still pretty damn sad. It’s not often that these nationally covered type things occur in central Illinois. But this was one of them. And in her instance, it really did cause a widespread upset for all communities around Peoria. I don’t think I saw a single person coming to her to defense when the news broke.
@@maharajashiv3086 That being said, despite there not being a ton of discourse on the recently released verdict and footage, there are still plenty of bad apples who have chosen to go and harass her family because of what she did. It’s really sad that people are focusing their hate on the people who had nothing to do with the situation instead of continuing support for the victims. Wild shit man.
@@radladsoph Fr this people are more like controlled kinda.
@@radladsoph I see that's verified sorry I never knew.
the way charlie just comes up with random words that rhyme with eachother and actually makes sense Is amazing to me
tardy to the party
Yeah ... admittedly pretty good. That's why if his BoobToob channel doesn't work out, he can always revert to becoming a rapper.
People have been saying “tardy to the party” for quite some time actually. He def didn’t come up with that himself haha.
For those who ARENT familiar with the Real Housewives of Atlanta, cast member Kim Zolciak actually recorded a song called “Tardy for the Party” back in like ‘09 😂
The heavy references too, that get my brain thinking extra hard too 😂
modern day Shakespeare
One time when I was drunk at a house party at my place, my shihtzu bit a friend of mine in the face (nothing crazy, he's an old dog with no teeth) and i became so utterly guilt-ridden and upset that i locked myself in a closet to cry. If you told me that I killed two innocent people while I was drunk, I'd be so ashamed. I honestly wouldn't be able to live with myself. She's a monster.
Imagine the victims' families seeing how nonchalant she was about the loss she caused them. Must've been literally horrifying.
Less hororrfying...more like rage infused k!ll!ng thought's they must have, i whould have them at least...
Especially after they let her out on bail in a year or 2 lol
I would want them to lock her in a room with the families of her victims but I also want her to carry out her sentence
@@XX-jk7hx & everyone else: & then the family still has to beg for the maximum sentence 😞 ... god flood it again 🙏🏻
I heard about this a few days ago. 14 years for killing 2 people and not caring? People like her are absolutely disgusting.
Exactly like what does society benefit from having her be free in 14 years? Might as well just leave her to rot in the cell
sad part is some people get out earlier with good behavior so I'm not counting on those 14 years being fully 14 years.
@@andrewnaranjo6514 worst part is she will probably play the victim and say how everything is unfair.
Gee, kinda like being killed by a drunk maniac while walking home, don't ya think?
Remember that Cuban truck driver in Florida that killed 1 person IN A ACCIDENT? He almost got 100 years in prison for that
@@andrewnaranjo6514 20 years should be the minimum. If sober rapists can get out in 5, she doesn't need to die in prison.
I was sick when I heard the 14 yr sentence too. How dare that judge devalue those two human beings' lives! I hope at least she is not eligible for parole. I also hope the victim's family sues the crap out of her. She is the most dangerous narcissist on the planet.
If 14 years was 14 years, that would be one thing. But these days it’s a couple of years and then released for “good behavior”.
@@zchris87v80 I would guess 14 years would be minimum 7 years, but I'm not sure for this.
Yeah drunk drivers get a slap on the wrist and it's disgusting.
I’ve heard of a case where a group of old men, who dismembered and defiled the body of a 20 year old kid they killed, laughed IN COURT about how the kid was begging for his mom. They got 12 years each
@@0Super_Senior0what? Where from?
Did she seriously say that she hasn't had a drink since the accident like it was redeeming? You're in prison, the sobriety isn't voluntary
I love how passionate youve been about this issue, Charlie. I have BAD road anxiety, i didnt even start driving until 21 and i still cant drive long distances. I am terrified on the road due to people like this. You condemning these actions brings me some peace that more people will avoid this behavior
I just started driving too and I only barely turned 21 last year. I was super anxious at first too, I still kind of am, especially with the prospect of driving on the highway which I haven’t done yet. But overall I’m not too anxious anymore. I’ve been easing into it. And honestly it’s best you get over that anxiousness as soon as you can. It only makes driving more dangerous if you’re constantly on edge. My gf is like that, she was a super anxious driver and it made her make decisions less accurately until she got us Into a really bad accident.
It’s understandable to be anxious about people like this on the road but it’s important to realize that these people are indeed a minority. I always keep my eye out for people like this tho. Doesn’t hurt to look both ways even if the light is green you know? But trust me, driving becomes alot easier when you’re not constantly stressed out. Good luck out there mate, stay safe. Hope you never run into some dumbass like this lady
@@_shenanigans_8337 this was really nice to hear, honestly. Thank you
I dont drink, I have seen what it does to people. I have been in an accident (black ice no one but me was hit) before and understand accidents. But drunk driving isnt an accident, its a choice to put everyone else in danger and absolutely disgusting behavior.
I have so much anxiety that I refuse to drive unless absolutely necessary. This story was so sickening and so frightening; I know my fear is unhealthy and then to think that there are people like this on the road...
I was in a really bad car accident almost 15 years ago. I nearly scalped myself and broke my nose, bones in my face. I’m terrified of driving now and refuse to do it. Most people don’t understand why and it’s so hard to actually explain the immense fear and anxiety I feel. I’m also a real pita as a passenger as I’m constantly on edge and pointing out potential “dangers”. Please be safe out there.
