Fine example of labelling - how exactly did the fact that the teen is a lesbian contribute to the story?

Personally the title in the story is more apt: it says "lovesick".

Yes I got that - but does the fact that she is a lesbian, and was spurned by someone make her anymore prone to acts of stupidity than other lovesick teens who have been spurned by someone?

From the admittedly small story, the fact that she is a lesbian is a relatively minor fact in the overall scheme of things - however if it comes out that because of her sexuality she was suicidal (for what ever reason), then yes the fact that she is a Lesbian then becomes much more important in the story.

She needs to rot in prison for the rest of her life. She destroyed a family. She is a selfish brat who thought it was perfectly OK to kill an innocent woman because she (the brat) was having a hissy fit.

And she wasn't "lovesick" -- she doesn't have any idea what love is. How do you know, at 16, what love is?

I'll bet her parents always gave her whatever she wanted and continually told her how wonderful she is to keep their little darling's "self-esteem" up. No wonder she turned out to be a self-centered child who put "I want I want I want!" ahead of another human life.

The wrong one died. And she was a mother of three. A family ruined. A tragic, stupid loss.

What a selfish, horrible girl. But hey...she's a rich bitch who killed a Mexican who probably has parents who'll hire her the best lawyers so she'll probably get away with it anyway.

I agree that she should be punished, but the people automatically making a story out of her being wealthy are ridiculous.

i have a feeling that the whole "she has issues that she needs resolved, and that this is a cry for help so she wasn't completely in sound mind and body" is going to surface.

this chick needs the book thrown at her ass.

Neal Boortz, the talk show host, has been ranting about this since it happened.

"The girl survived; a woman in the other car was killed."


As my sister the trauma surgeon has taken to saying lately, you just can't kill trash.
