(533 posts)that dangerous actions have critical consequences.
Whose fault was it that she was driving under the influence of heavy drugs?
Whose fault was it that she caused two hit and run accidents, and was a freaking danger to the community?
Whose fault was it that at 20 years old, she had already had three felony arrests?
Whose fault was it that she tried to escape from a jail?
Her fault.
Whose fault would it have been if she succeeded?
The cops.
This happened in Pinellas Park, just a few minutes north of my home in Saint Petersburg. We're talking ten miles away. If she had gotten away, stolen another car, and caused an accident that took someone's life, say for example my teen aged son, I'd be asking why the fuck she escaped, and why the officer didn't use every tool on his belt to keep her from harming others.
And if she harmed someone in your family, who then would you blame? What assignation of fault would change your tragedy?
