Finally watched the video and saw this thread was BUSY yesterday
. I agree what these girls did was deplorable regardless of race but
if we’re going to keep it 100, if they were chicks white they are skating on involuntary manslaughter. But they’re not so the driver will get second degree murder and her homegirl in the passenger seat will get
the same or MAYBE felony murder.
As far as sentencing, I agree with the give them a decade minimum then re-evaluate. The problem with this rehabilitation program path y’all are talking about is that they’re not foolproof (obviously). Like they could be fine in prison for 10 years but it’s not like there’s cars for them to steal there or other dumb **** to do. I haven’t worked with folks who’ve gone through programs like that or researched their success rate but in my gut, I’m dubious. I am also aware that when you’re locked up there are plenty of other ways to get in trouble but these are 13/15 year old girls in there for carjacking. They aren’t about THAT life. Unless of course they really go off the deep end or get manipulated by adults when they’re 18 and go to prison (assuming they’re put away past that age).
Another thing....there are two INSANE talking points being supported in here. The first being that the parents should go to jail for “poor parenting.” FOH. You can teach your kid right and wrong but you can’t act for them. It comes down to how they’re wired. I believe we react to things based on our life experiences and while parenting lessons are part of that that, kids are in school for ~8 hours/day, they now are glued to their phones/social media, they’re watching whatever on TV, etc. Even if you limit their media consumption, you don’t know what they’re going into at school. Furthermore there are countless cases of solid individuals whose kids just turn out to be **** ups or one kid is exemplary and the other is a POS. I even believe a poster said that’s the face in his family. Coming at the parents off strength when you know absolutely nothing about them and very little about the girls except for a prior is reckless.
The second ridiculous talking point is folks saying “If it was me, I would have just given up the car.” That’s super simple to say in hindsight. Personally, I have always maintained that if someone tried to catch me leaving the club, a restaurant, walking back to my hotel, etc that I would give them my watch, wallet, money clip, car or whatever they wanted with no smoke because they can be replaced. However, never having experienced that situation even in practice, in the moment it’s actually hard to say what I would actually do. I think we all can admit that when emotions (fear, anger, excitement, happiness, etc) take over our bodies that it can cloud our judgment and make us act uncharacteristically. Any commentary on what you would/he should have done is merely a postmortem that at best might help prepare someone who reads your post if they find themselves in that situation one day and at worst it absolves the girls of blame/makes Anwar look bad by making it seem as if he made a glaringly poor decision despite being in a situation no one could have foreseen and an infinitesimal amount of people will ever encounter.
RIP Anwar.
