Yeah, I can see how he never really had a chance, with a parent like this.


I'm confused, though, why he's still under the juvenile court system if he's already 18. I guess the transfer to adult doesn't happen automatically? (I know it says he will be on his 19th, I just don't understand why.)

[ttt]

Well he's never suffered consequences for his actions before so why would he think there would be any now?

DH says they are on vacation & can't be bothered. I think his momma ran away with him so her precious wouldn't go to jail.

You know, this was my first thought.

Even over running away actively. 

I think that they think that they are SO untouchable, so above the law, so entitled and special, that they wouldn't expend the effort to run and hide, but would most certainly not interrupt a vacation or getaway for something as inconsequential as a warrant out for one's arrest.

This case has haunted me since it happened. It's everything wrong with our world wrapped up in one little shithead who never had a chance.

How does this dipshit even have friends to play beer pong with? Do his mom and dad literally buy them, too?

There are many more out there just like this kid.  They probably high five over his Affluenza defense.

Probation is boring, yo. He don't have any more time for that.

[jillboston]

Good. When they find him throw him in jail for 10 years as per the shitty "sentence" he was given.

[ttt]

Maybe he's missing because one of the victims family members decided to take justice into his/her own hands? We can hope, right?

[ChillyMcFreeze]

I also thought immediately that he and mommy went on vacay to Vail or something and OOPSY! Just didn't think it was that big a deal if he miss one teensy tiny parole meeting.

They found him in Puerto Vallarta. Did they seriously just take off for a Christmas vacation in Mexico?

"I was performing community service by cleaning at the luxury resorts, and my mom was helping!"

I hope he got as sick as I did the last time I was in PV. I wouldn't wish that on many people, but him I would.

[nursewife]

I'm glad they caught that asshole. Hopefully he gets his ass kicked by the law.

[MarmeeNoir]

I see what they were trying...

[heyjude]

A quicker wit than mine could make an el chappo joke.

Vacation and a makeover! lol 

[underwaterrhymes]

I'm so glad they caught this piece of shit and his piece of shit mom.

I only wish they could jail the piece of shit judge who gave him that ridiculous sentence to begin with.

[ttt]

I hope they're having fun in Mexican jail!

[josieposy]

Apologies to Mexico. We're not sending our best.

[jeaniebueller]

Why did he take off? Because he was afraid of the PV from the drinking party video or just that these are unrepentant assholes in general?

Because he's a special snowflake with a great future who just made one bad decision. Okay, two. Maybe three. But the world shouldn't be deprived of his influence just because he killed a few strangers.

Even swyping that in jest made me throw up a little in my mouth.

Because why not? He knows from experience hat he is exempt from consequences for his actions. If nobody cares about him killing four people, they're certainly not going to care if he goes to Mexico.

This whole situation disgusts me, especially juxtaposed with the post below about Tamir Rice. What the hell is wrong with this society? This mess right here.

I'm glad the Mexican authorities found them. I still am pissed he only got probation after he kills a woman, pastor, and two others helping the woman with car troubles, not to mention the numerous people who were injured (some with TBIs for life) in his truck!

Who are the idiots who partied with him in December? how can he still have friends?

People with money always have friends. Or "friends."

[marriedfilingjoint]

With all that money, can he not afford a proper haircut? In every photograph he looks like a child found scissors and cut his hair.

Every now and then, I forget how funny you are. Thank you for reminding me.

Seriously. I leave every article about this guy thinking, "and wtf happened to his hair? Does a drunken stupor explain that too?"
