    I think people might be getting too hung up on the car and thinking it makes this less of a big deal. It’s the opposite though imo – you shoot a loaded gun, it’s a split second. You hit someone with a car, you’ve had plenty of time to think things through. You don’t tap the accelerator once and then they’re dead. You have to commit to the decision, and actively choose to not hit the brakes or swerve away or throw on the emergency brake.

    I have no pity. She knew what she was doing, she chose to do it, and she thought about it beforehand.
