Angry I am so pissed @ my neighbor right now!

Sign in to disble this ad
Back in January, during Atlanta's first snowfall, my neighbor was in a one car accident. When the cops arrived, the car was engulfed in flames and they were able to pull her out, but they couldn't reach her 3 year old daughter in the backseat and she was literally burned alive. At first we thought it was because of the ice, but there was no ice on the road that night. Then we thought that since her Toyota Highlander was on the recall list, maybe something happened with the car. Now that I know what really happened, I wanna strangle her and put a golf club to her ass!

I feel really bad for her family. Since they live across the street, I bring her little brother home from school with my son, since they're both in the concert and marching band together. I picked them up yesterday, and lil dude looks out of it. Link below:

Oh man.... this is really really upsetting. I swear to god that I cant read stuff like this, it gets me all worked up. Poor little thing. I guess "mom" will have to live with this guilt now.
No child deserves a "mom" like that.

This might sound rude, but I think the lady deserved to die instead. The girl died for NO fault of hers. Tragic

We had a case recently in India where a girl drove her SUV into a police check post, killing two and injuring four. Test revealed the alcohol levels in her blood to be 457 mg. The legal limit is 50 mg.

What's 457mg in American BAC?

I don't know. In 2006, Ga. became one of THE worst states in the nation to get a DUI charge in.

Wow, I was expecting this to be another thread about the usual crap neighbors do to piss people off, but this is just horrible. I have no sympathy for people who drink and drive.

I agree. Drunks seem to do far more harm to others than themselves. It's not fair.

Christ, guys........

I see the zero tolerance crew is well represented today. This is a terrible tragedy. The blame lies on the mother exclusively. That is indisputable.

But aren't we losing sight of the fact that this lady lost her daughter? As horrible as I feel reading about this, I can't come near how this woman must feel. She'll get to carry this around for the rest of her life.

If you're looking for revenge in behalf of the little girl, there's no need. This lady will never recover from this...... Nor will the family.

Compassion is a wonderful thing. It doesn't mean you're weak.... It doesn't change the idea that she will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The local DA will see to that.

Oh well......... Flame away.

Well said. The lady basically killed her own daughter in a horrible way, and SHE has to LIVE with that. Punishment enough, IMO.

Oh no, I don't think it's enough punishment at all. What ever the judge decides will have to do.

But it should be tempered with the knowledge that there is nothing you can do to her that she hasn't already wished on herself.

Wise words, my friend. Wise words.

That would depend on the size of the person. A BAC (blood alcohol count) is a percentage determined by how much alcohol is in the blood. Thus, a 108 lb female would measure differently than a 200 lb male.
