Was he ICE? 🤞🏼🤷🏼♂️
The answer really determines whether this is a good or bad thing
I think it is a bad thing no matter what. Sounds like it was an accident, so even if it was Peter Theil, that woman has to live with that.
Just want to clarify, what she did was not okay on any level. Phones in the console; eyes on the road people. But it is still a bad day when you realize you took somebody’s life because you were irresponsible. At least, I assume for most people.
Living with running over [Peter Thiel] and living with running over some random schmuck out walking in his neighborhood are two completely different plotlines, and only one of them'd help her sleep at night.
Idk I feel like the first one would be a bit more difficult. You'd get a LOT of fan mail and it would be difficult to sort through. Constant interview requests...
thiel would likely have you defenestrated in a florida apartment(his bf last year, not his husband), than to let it get into the news, he really hates being in the news for shady shit he has done.
I'm not sure anyone in history's been able to have another person bodily remove a window from under said person's car, freshly pancaked. 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Something tells me she's more worried about herself than others, or this wouldn't have happened in the first place. She deserves the guilt, but her behavior shows a serious lack of empathy in the first place.
There’s nothing wrong with running over ice
Kinda depends, there maybe a few who aren't as bad, but idk. The leaders tho for sure
“There might be a few people in the Nazi SS who aren’t bad”
Absolutely insane take, maybe the human traffickers arent so bad
If you are live streaming while driving it wasn't an accident.
Again, not defending her, but what? Just because she was being reckless, doesn’t mean running over a person was intentional. That is why one would get charged with something like manslaughter rather than murder. Or maybe she was saying “I’m about to run this guy over. Watch this.” But that wasn’t in the story.
I'm so sorry but "Now watch this drive."
This was my first thought. Glad I’m not alone
