Officials: No New Charges For ‘Affluenza Teen’ As a Result of Fleeing
FORT WORTH, Texas — Because Ethan Couch fled while he was on probation as a juvenile, he won’t face additional charges for fleeing if he is certified as an adult later this year, Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson said. But Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson said an arrest warrant was issued for his mother, Tonya…

This is just like when Ted Kennedy got off the hook for killing Mary Jo Kopechne. 10 years of probation and no charges being filed against Ethan Couch for fleeing the USA is an insane slap on the wrist. As if that is not bad enough his mommy tries to help run away from that law. His daddy pretended to not know anything, but no doubt he was also in on it.
Ethan Couch should have had the book thrown at him and he should have been sent to prison. The late Ted Kennedy should have also been sent to prison, as well.
I also grew up in affluent family, but “affluenza” was never allowed, like in the Couch family of shits. I was 18 in 1974, when I had not yet gotten my license. I was very deeply mad when my mother objected to my learning to drive because of my coordination disability, but soon my father stepped in on letting me finally learn to drive, before this caused an uproar of serious trouble. But, the major difference is he reprimanded me for wrongfully passing stop signs and rightfully so. I passed my driver’s license test in December of 1974, after three tries.
In other words, if from1975 onward, when I started independently driving, I did what Ethan Couch did, no way would my family try to get me a slap on the wrist, if I killed anybody because of reckless driving. In fact, I have only had a few non-fatal accidents and I have a better driving record than a great many drivers, for whom learning to drive was no big deal.
Why am I so outraged that Ethan Couch is getting away with a slap on the wrist? The four people he killed because of his drunk driving folly cannot for any amount of money, be paroled back from the dead to be with their families! it very deeply disturbs me that Ethan Couch and his family of dirty shits have no remorse for the four people that were killed!
I’ve advocated for this several times on MMA. Send the incorrigible little shit to Singapore for a caning. His mother too.
Very good idea. That way in Singapore, it would beyond the jurisdiction of the United States government and the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
