Drunk white girl kills best friend
 

Ah, wait! There's more to the story. Here's the article, sounds like an OP/ED.

To sum it up, Mr. Wilkerson, who is 28 years old, is getting charged with multiple felony counts and could face 21 years in prison for having almost nothing to do with another driver's drunken screw-up.

On the flipside, 17 year old Ms. Varker, who had been more than legally drunk, sped down the road, flipped her dad's Denali and killed one of her friends by flinging her out the window of the SUV, is chillin' at home while her father goes to work at a soap factory.

Soap? Really.

So the discussion here is this: not so much the typical "minority gets screwed by white aristocracy", but how on earth does the legal system allow something like this to get so skewed?

I read the article, and I'm having a hard time forming a mental picture of how the accident really went.

I mean, I am trying to stay without bias here? Like, you know, IGNORING the whole "driving Daddy's Denali" drunk, at age 17, with a bunch of minors in the car, who are almost all drunk too.

And nothing happened to her. Not even a slap on the wrist. And to think the PARENTS are okay with that. Jesus.

I don't think it's a matter of the justice system alone being to blame - I think affluence, lawyers, and power brought on by said affluence can clean away guilt.

Sad, sad, sad.

That is brutal.

I just want to take a rusty screwdriver and stab myself slowly due to the fact of how mind numbingly difficult it is read this article and know that a prissy little teenage brat who was legally drunk when the accident happened is not going to suffer any reprecussions from this.

Her parents obviously believe that their daughter is a mystical little angel that could not do anything wrong and that she is a victim in all this. The fact that the majority of her friends promised her parents that they would not talk about it just irritates even more.

The only thing I can agree concerning this tragedy, is the guy who is suffering the horrible consequences of this accident, should of never left the scene of the accident. It was probably one of the worse things he could of done.

Even if the U-turn he made was legal, and if he was a little reckless about it. If its one thing that is worse than reckless driving is driving under the influence of alcohol especially if it is above the specified limit.

The fact that he is a minority could play a major factor in this. I just think it stems from the fact that the parents are completely in denial that their little drunken angel could do anything wrong.

I really do not want to see this family win this case. It just goes to show the colour of justice is green, if people are willing to shell out a lot of money they can probably get their own way.

Angel, it's so awesome to see this side of you. This is great! (mild exception being the rusty emo stabby thing, but love the negativity!)

I agree completely. Little bitch needs a rapin' or something. Still though, the guy had the weed and some alcohol content as well, which yeah, insignificant, but I'm sure we can all agree that reality doesn't factor in here as much as appearance does, and the dude's fucked in that regard. Especially with the whole fleeing the scene thing.

Actually, I think they should both be strung up. People just don't want to take responsibility for shit nowadays.

The mother of the dead girl's got it right.

Because this is Arizona. Anyone with brown skin is considered a border-hopper and should be locked up.

Or something like that haha. Seriously though, that chick is a cunt. She stills parties in Scottsdale by the way.

Bwahaha, I laughed so hard I almost cried.

The sad part's really the lawyers defending the whore. They eat this shit up and they know that somehow, they'll end up at least getting something for it. The breakdown of morality in the justice system is already fucked up, but the fact there's even a lawyer who's capable of stomaching this kinda of travesty makes me hope like all hell I never have to deal with the business end of the U.S. legal system.

Just think, if they'd gotten this right, the girl would be in jail and the guy would be the one posting on MySpace in a bikini.

As tough as they say they are on drunk drivers in this ass backward state, this shit is still pretty typical. Something like MWW Syndrome for reals.

I cant describe how angry and frustrated I get when I read something like this. Especially the comments, which were just LITTERED with more of the stupidity that the law enforcers showed. Yeah, the black guy had a little in him, and pulled a (perhaps?) stupid move on the road. But it was nothing that a SOBER, CAREFUL driver wouldnt have been able to avoid. They should BOTH be getting something, but the girl should be getting the brunt of it, not this poor guy who made a couple clumsy mistakes.

Like Southjag said, it sickens me that ANYONE would want to defend the girl.

Apparently the story isn't working for me. But what do you want to bet that her parents are shelling out a whole ton of money to try and defend what their daughter did?

Would you be willing to take a wager against someone who read the article?

Uh, why wouldn't they? Regardless of the fact that they know their daughter was in the wrong, I'm sure they'd do everything they could to protect her. I'm not sure I buy this story altogether though. Given how harshly drunk driving is looked upon in this country, I find it very hard to believe that anyone could get away free with causing someone else's death as a result of their drunk driving.

Yeah well it's also hard to believe that a judge would let a guy off with only a month of jail time for raping his 10 year old niece, but it happens.

As far as this case goes. Can anyone blame the mother of the dead girl for going after both people? The guy made a mistake and the girl was drunk driving. Also I'm sure the drunk girl had something to do with the one who died holding stuff down for them rather then being buckled in.

You know, I REALLY want to root for the underdog in prison here but that article is not helping his case out in any way, shape or form. If ever there was an article that's blatantly biased and hamfisted, this is it. The commentators on there pretty much emulate the utter stupidity of the article as well with their bigoted and belligerent replies. One comment did catch my attention though: "Justice should be blind." Why yes. Yes it should and the people reporting it (or lack thereof) should be held to the same fucking standards.

Having said all that, I think that this girl should be tried as an adult for this. She was drunk as fuck and flipped a vehicle teetering on 6,000 lbs. effectively killing her friend. I can kind of picture how this went down too because I've witnessed 3 wrecks that went down identical to the description, although none of them resulted in an overturned vehicle. I think the driver of the Hyundai was making his U-turn and thus had to slow down. The girl came up behind him entirely too fast to slow down in time so she swerved suddenly to her left in order to avoid hitting the car while the car was already about to go into the U-turn and (perhaps?) the force of such a sudden banking turn caused the vehicle to overturn. I could be imagining this wrong but that's how I see it in my head and if, indeed, he was in his right to make the left turn legally, I don't see why he's even being held accountable for any of this.

It's really fucking frustrating reading this although most of that comes from the scumbag self-entitlement nature of the article but if this is all true, this is one FUCKED UP situation. :(

Encephalon,

He fled the scene and didn't later defend himself. Article, if it's accurate said some shit like how he thought he was at fault, because everyone was making frowny faces. Wasn't until later that he learned the bitch was shit-faced.

Jag, lawyers can be as mercenary as anyone else yeah, but why you gotta hate on a guy just trying to make a living? Fuck the parents for trying to remove any responsibility from their little princess.

On a related note, my sister was pulled over on the highway late night last week because she had no lights on in our parents Subaru Outback. She blew 0.125. That's six times the legal limit for a 17 year old.

Mother of the dead girl ain't got shit.

The dead girl was just as stupid and probably just as drunk (Cinco de Drinko, remember?) as the rest of them. Common sense says to buckle the fuck up, particularly if everybody's wasted.

The fellow doesn't deserve manslaughter, but probably everything else he got written up for.

The bitch of a white girl needs to be executed.

They were both stupid. I've rear ended somebody in a similar situation because a woman stopped dead in my lane and was too stupid to use the middle turn lane. Guess who's fault it was for following too closely? MINE.

My wife wrecked my car because some dipshit 17 year old asian girl made a shitty (and illegal, but irregardless) uturn in front of her. Both could have avoided the accident, but that's what happens when you have dumbass women driving. I blame both parties, though my wife wasn't legally at fault. (insurance didn't see it that way, though)

Can anybody get ahold of some addresses for us to send hate mail to?

Oh no... Don't get me wrong. He "caused" the accident and rightfully thought so too. But face it... If that little cunt hadn't been drunk and driving recklessly, do you think this accident would've happened? Give the guy a moving violation if anything but to charge him with vehicular manslaughter is fucked up when he wasn't the one whose sheer irresponsibility behind the wheel was at the core of this problem.

It sounds like they both made mistakes that night. If any of them had changed their actions that lead to the accident the whole thing could've been avoided. Either Varkner could have paid more attention and driven more conservatively, or the girl could have not driven drunk. What I don't get is why she's getting off with absolutely nothing here, especially when intoxicated underage drivers has always been a hot button for parent groups everywhere. Even if Varkman made the final mistake, he can't possibly be totally to the blame for this. It sends a bad message for anyone (young or otherwise) willing to drive drunk: just blame the other guy and you'll get off scott free.

Of course, the victim's mom is suing both parties anyway, which I believe she's in full right to do. It won't erase what happened, but at least it'll bring a little justice to this mishap.

Rich, white people get away with things?!

(How are any of you surprised?)

I think I found the girl's Myspace.

MySpace.com - www.myspace.com/321407131

But, damn it, it's set to private so I'll never be able to leave a disparaging comment. :(

In a perfect world this guy would get slapped with a moving violation, leaving the scene of an accident, and possibly evading arrest if he had to be chased. The dip shit girl would get tried as an adult for manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and underage consumption. And whoever they got fake IDs from would get charged as an accessory to manslaughter.

However, we don't live in a perfect world, and in this one a middle class black guy stands zero chance against a rich white bitch. The theory that justice is blind is the biggest crock of shyte, and he was screwed as soon as he appeared to be guilty. I feel sorry for this guy because he was dumb enough to assume that somebody losing control of their car was ever his fault, and if I were him I'd be regularly bitch slapping whoever was in the car with him yelling "Go, go, go!"

Well, I think that if this gets enough publicity too...it'll be out of the courts hands. At least we could hope.

I too hope that law can be subverted by liberal anger. :dover:

liberal rage ahs always been the progenitor of change! Gotta first agree that what's going on now is just and so forth fitst.

Granted, I agree with teh sentiment, but you know, bitch still needs a rapin'.
