  • The case of Austin McGrough is a strange one. According to the police, he was chased by bees when he met his demise. However, many people find that hard to believe.

      I don't think you understand that area of Kentucky. That town is tiny. I mean tiny. That town is rather anti Army as well. They are not as welcoming as Hopkisville to the north and Clarksville south. Anyone military at that party would have been crashing it. Only invited most likely buy a guest. Most likely a local girl dating one of the soldiers. There would have been high tensions there the whole time any military were present. If this guy had kissed or hit on anyones girl friend or even X girlfriend this was a revenge homicide. The connection comes in the kids being involved were the kids of the Sharif, a Deputy, a county courthouse employee, a city works employee, on the football team, basketball team and they could not have the season ruined by this or anything like that. It is a very very real thing in that area. When someone there ask you who you are. They don't want your first or last name. You answer with who your mom and grandma on moms side of the family are. The reputation of your Mom, Grandma and relation to them let people size you up as "Good Folk" or "Shit Bag". The reputation of your relatives sets how you will be treated. If your family are not known then you automatically fall under "Untrustworthy Shit Bag" until your actions prove otherwise over time.

      Thing with grief is the person our questions and emotions are supposed to be directed towards is usually the person we're grieving. It's a fairly natural response to redirect it all and blame other people, especially in the early phase of processing sudden unnatural deaths. There's no room for logic or rational thinking and decision making when we're so emotionally charged.

    • @shellodee
      @shellodee 3 роки тому +8

      @savvy Wilson oh I completely agree with that one, but a little bit of compassion and understanding when you're dealt that kind of hand can prevent further escalation of an already crappy ordeal from both parties.
      If this guy wasn't 21yrs old, and by all means legally responsible for himself, I can understand how they'd have a chance at winning the lawsuit, like if their kid was under the age of 15...beyond that is murky waters.
      But yeah, I'm not trying to say the parents are right to sue anyone in this situation, just that it's easy to forget what's driving their decisions and what not ☺️

    • @shellodee

      @savvy Wilson sorry for your loss, and thank you sharing from your point of view too. I've got the perspective of the daughter who nearly died, and my parents and siblings faces when I woke up will be with me forever and is hard to break down into words, and I've got to perspective of a parent who didn't have answers when my son passed. They're the same but different lol I see your point now though, the demand for dollar compensation where the law sees no crime is spite disguised as a 'fighr for justice' for a dumb decision.

    "Austin's mother sued the 18yo driver who had always fully cooperated with the police, as well as the host of the party he attended, suggesting she failed to keep an eye on what was going on in their home and should have done more to find Austin after he wandered off the property."
    Yeah, no. That's not how it works. My sincere condolences, but Austin was a grown man (not to mention, partying with a bunch of underage kids). And trying to blame a tragic accident on a bunch of innocent people just simply isn't a good look. If we're going to be grasping at straws while throwing accusations around, perhaps you should have raised your son to be more responsible when he partied. Those types of blind accusations probably don't feel too great, do they?

I feel awful for the family too of course, but they really shouldn’t be blaming the 2 ppl that fully cooperated and Prol feel just terrible about the whole thing.. I’d be traumatized for LIFE knowing I ran over someone even if it wasn’t my fault can you just imagine someone jumping out in front of your car on the highway at freakin night time?! And being only an 18yr old girl all alone?! SHEESH I’d lose it! And then go get blamed and sued by the guys mother? Ugh..I dunno man, I’d be depressed & in a friggin hospital! It just would make it all the more traumatizing and blaming someone over an accident that wasn’t their fault is just not right.. But God bless all involved.. sry strange case how it all went down I agree.

    If this was my son , I would have another toxicology test done. But it really sounds like a drug induced paranoia/panic attack. No bees or wasps are stinging anyone at night. The deep woods are scary for city kids in the dark. He ran out in the road & was hit, the second & third cars thought he was road kill. I live in the woods , I have had people show up at my door screaming & lost banging on my door. City kids who were broke down or out of gas & afraid of bears & wolves in a panic.

      Four times...and if you've ever had your BAC checked you would know that even the legal limjt is drunk, not just buzzed.
      I did a training thing for CHP once where as a volunteer I got drunk in a high school gym with a bunch of others so they could practice field sobriety tests and brethaltzers. I was surprised how drunk I felt at .08 BAC. Four times that at the time of death meant he was absolutely sloshed.

    Occam’s razor - he was high and extremely intoxicated and ended up running on to the road where, strangely enough, there happened to be traffic, and his was hit, thrice. Unfortunate, but nothing suspicious evident. His mother is in complete denial. Why the hell are there so many people so quick to bring up conspiracy theories where there is no basis for them? So bloody tired of the lack of critical thinking on display.

    He was definitely having some sort of nervous breakdown, possibly psychosis. The idea that this is a cover-up is ridiculous. He was an E-4, not Edward Snowden.
    And the idea that "he was in the army, so he couldn't have had a psychological break from reality" is so ridiculous I'm not even going to touch it.
    I get that the family wants "answers", but sometime there is no answer. Just because the police don't know what your son was thinking while he was in a psychotic state of mind, doesn't mean they're trying to cover anything up.

Though Austin was drunk, his behavior is suspiciously bizarre. I’ve been drunk myself, though not for a long time, and I don’t remember ever acting like this.

    There's nothing to this. It's rare, but I totally agree with the police. A young GI gets absolutely hammered at a party and had some sort of breakdown or psychosis triggered by his condition and youth, vandalized a place (not at all like someone running from anyone chasing them-- nothing says stealth like knocking over huge shelves of jelly jars), continues being absolutely hammered and uses the incredibly bad judgment often accompanying such a state and runs into the road. He is hit, by accident once. There is no reason to believe that wasn't the case for the second hit. There's little evidence to support a third hit and even if there was what was the charge? Being the 3rd car to hit the drunk in the road. It could have been a relative of the damn president but it doesn't make it a criminal act. MAYBE there were 2 guys with him but there was nothing necessarily villainous by the comments that may or may not have been heard. If they were even there they were probably just 2 equally hammered GIs trying to get their friend to stop acting crazy. They may have ran away after the accident so as not to jeopardize their positions. I get so frustrated by these stories made up by grieving family members. Nothing in this story says conspiracy. It's hard to admit that your hotdog soldier son would do something so dumb, but come on, they do it all the time but they usually survive their debauchery. So very sorry mom, but I think you just need to accept it and move on.

    I think the family needs to come to terms with this being a pointless drunken accident.
    Twice in my life someone I know has died stupidly while drunk, and there are always questions that make no sense. One guy I know fell from a scaffolding and died. What the hell was he doing up there? Did he jump? Was someone else there with him? Was he pushed? It's very difficult to accept that a life can end so abruptly just because they were drunk and decided to play ninja at a construction site.
    The other friend drowned in an artificial lake in the middle of the city. How? Why did no one see her? She could swim. Well, it was dark. She was drunk. The water was cold. It's more difficult than people believe to swim in tight jeans and heavy boots. It absolutely sucks, but drunk people out alone are extremely vulnerable to accidents.

Though the third driver not being mentioned initially and having ties to police definitely feels like a cover up though.

There were 3 cars stopped at the light lined up on the same lane. My brother was the middle car. The woman’s cousin slammed into the back car and it caused a chain reaction where the other cars hit the other cars in front of them. She sued her cousin and everyone that was hit by their car. The lawsuit was so ridiculous it was blaming everyone even the 3 drivers ahead of them that got hit. It stated that the drivers that got hit should have paid attention and had the ability to move out of the way but that they didn’t. Some people are just insane.
