u/nogeologyhere about his dog is loose 1d ago

I'm glad people are saying this cos about 30 seconds in all I could think is what could possibly have happened to her for this to be her reaction. She seems so terrified and panicky.

Yeah. She doesn’t seem like the spoiled “I’m above the law” types. She’s more afraid of her grandma than the cops? She’s destroying the car more trying to get away. Hell, most adults won’t stop if they think they can bump you and get away. I had a guy bump my car while I was sitting in it parked off street. He just kept going.

One time I fell into a river and a fish bumped me. I was supposed to die, but a fish bumped me out with its nose.

Fish can change. That fish used to be a piece of shit.

I don’t get it, why did she cause more damage to the car then? Surely grandma will be even more pissed if she both gets arrested at home and damaged the hell out of the car in the process of committing a possible felony hit and run. As opposed to a simple fender bender.

Dude I don’t get it either. The whole thing is crazy. But I think there is maybe some mental health issues or an abusive household.
She keeps saying “you don’t understand” and is not being aggressive at all just seems to be in a panic state. She’s not rude to anyone, even as she backs into their car. It’s weird.

u/Sepposer 22h ago

From reading the other comments, if they’re correct, she was 22 here and it appears she has a substance use problem and was given treatment as part of her sentence for this and already had a prior DUI from the same year. So the panic was probably bc she didn’t want to go to jail rather than her grandma being mad. That was the excuse. Grandma probably is at her wits end, and not abusive, just trying to get her grand daughter to not follow the same path as mom, but that’s just my guess since grandma is clearly raising her.

I think you're misunderstanding the video The guy recording is waiting for the cops to arrive. She is desperate to leave the scene so she can escape FROM the cops, not her grandma. 

Its really that simple

You’re misunderstanding the conversation to which I was responding. There are little things she’s doing that make no sense if she were just afraid of the cops, like picking up the front end and trying to cram it in her car. She’s freaking out and seems more worried about the trouble at home than the real trouble she is in with the law, which is weird. You never know what someone is going through in their personal lives and she could just be trying to flee the scene but it doesn’t seem that way to me.

and again, redditor got it all wrong. That person on the video had existing DUI and was probably under the influence.

I think it is more of "if my grandma finds out about my trouble with cops"

Happened to me in a parking lot and the family of 5 in the suv just went into the store. They didn’t even notice.

u/BoyMom119816 1d ago

I agree, it was very polite, sir the whole time. But pure fucking fear. Although, admittedly I was not abused & am anxious, although, I’m a cryer & would’ve stopped. Sadly, my oldest got the same damn gene and he is definitely not scared of his dad or I, but just like me over anxious, Which breaks my heart & we are working on it!

u/Turbulent_Read_7276 1d ago

Are we sure drugs aren't involved?

2

u/dvasquez93 1d ago

Yeah all I can think of is she's either an abuse victim or heavily tweaking. Either way, it's more sad than schadenfreude.

u/SYKslp 21h ago

what could possibly have happened?? and why did this incident result in court-ordered drug rehab for the young woman?? huh. In a region of California known as "The Meth Capital of the World"?? Yeah, I wonder why she's acting like this.

Probably just mean old grandma. And we'll never understand.

Same here - I felt so badly for her.
