Ironic, but not surprising coming from you.

Ethan Couch Sentenced To Probation In Crash That Killed 4 After Defense Argued He Had 'Affluenza'

This is a travesty. No way this kid should've ever gotten free so lightly. This "affluenza" bull is just going to set a very unfair precedent.. Hold this kid responsible for his reprehensible actions!
Indeed.

The judge should be impeached or disavowed by his party and not supported for re-election.

Outrageous. I can't believe he got off with probation in the first place.

I believe the judge stepped down as soon as she made her decision. And not to make this a partisan issue, but she was a registered Republican. How can you be a member of a party that is suppose to be about personal responsibility but absolve this kid of any responsibility of killing four people?

DUH. LoL. But that really wasn't my point. If the judge were a true Republican, she would have made this brat take responsibility for his behavior.

I was watching Inside Edition and a video showed him jumping up and down in glee during a beer pong game. It just amazed me that he can just go on with his life as if he never even killed four people, to even experience happiness and good times that he sure robbed the people (and their families) the chance of ever having. I don't even know how he can live with himself, waking up each day knowing four people are dead because of him.A despicable "human being". I guess maybe he is thinking that his parents are at fault and to live with the guilt his mind is processing it that way or maybe he just doesn't care - there's a word for someone like that.
