A New York judge sentenced a woman who pleaded guilty to fatally shoving an 87-year-old Broadway singing coach onto a Manhattan sidewalk to six months more in prison than the eight years that had been previously reached in a plea deal.

    All I have to say is good. Fuck this woman (not literally she doesn't need to get laid). I drink and have been drunk many a times, never in that stupid inebriated state have I EVER thought to murder someone or try and cause them harm. Do dumb shit? Absolutely I'm a drunk fool so you give me a bucket, a empty street and a fuel and lighter I'm likely gonna kick a flaming bucket down the street. But to hurt someone or seek a fight etc? No. I'm still able to keep my morality and decision-making under control over those things.

        That's because that's something I've done when I was 21 😆 we played flaming bucket soccer. It did NOT end in disaster luckily.

      So no judgement but for me: drunk fool doing dumb shit ≠ decision making under control. To each there own but shit can spiral out of control rapidly. Be safe out there.

        I mean I suppose but when I drink now I rarely get to a state I cannot retain reason and think somewhat critical. This was mostly when I was in my 20s. But I would argue being drunk does NOT at all absolve me or anyone else from consequences of actions we made… even impared. That's why I agree with this woman's sentences. She absolutely deserved what she got.
