Here’s the thing about LK and RG’s gloating posts.
There is a tragic story in my extended family; my sister-in-law and her friend were pedestrians who were struck and killed by an impaired driver who then left the scene.
The driver was arrested within hours.
When the community found out that the commonwealth’s attorney was going to propose a plea deal, the family organized a protest and a prayer vigil outside the courthouse with some media coverage and no deal was offered.
When the driver was sentenced to 12 years, I didn’t know how to feel. I didn’t feel glad or vindicated or that justice had been served. I didn’t post about it on Facebook or gloat about how he got more time because of the prayer vigil. I sort of felt that it was appropriate that he got more time for killing two people and injuring one than some people get from drug offenses.
Mostly I felt sad. Sad about the people killed and injured, sad about the waste of life, including the driver’s.
Who GLOATS about something like that?
Yes, LK was shot. But other people’s lives were destroyed that day, not just hers. And she bears a lot of responsibility for things getting as toxic as they did because she didn’t do the sane thing and just leave when she was no longer welcome.
Gloating about someone being committed to a psychiatric hospital? OMG. Not that there isn’t lots of other evidence to that effect, but that is some serious narcissism/sociopathy there.
