Dr. Rebecca Twine (left) was killed by a vehicle driven by Kayla Gerdes (right)
This past Tuesday, a van driven by 18 y/o Kayla Gerdes struck and killed Dr. Rebecca Twine, M.D. PhD, as Dr. Twine mowed her front lawn around 9:45 AM.
Kayla Gerdes was allegedly high on Xanax and Oxycodone at the time of the “accident.” She’s been charged with 2nd degree manslaughter, 2nd degree vehicular homicide, driving while ability impaired by drugs and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Allegedly, Ms. Gerdes insisted on taking the wheel from the car’s owner and her co-worker, Brian Steele, because she thought he was driving too slow.
When you drive a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol and kill someone, that’s NOT an “accident,” it’s willful and reckless disregard and depraved indifference to human life and it’s vehicular homicide.
Kayla Gerdes is being held on $200,000 bond or $100,000 bail. According to reports, she was rushing because she was late to yet another court appearance on charges that she stole jewelry from “her mother’s boyfriend.”
Sounds about right.
Dr. Twine’s son Chauncey said, “I can’t even put into words what my family is going through, my mother was really the kindest, just sweetest, most gentle person that you’ll ever meet, and for her to die this way is just horrible...”
I can’t imagine that that is a momentous understatement.
For her part, Kayla Gerdes noted, “The thing that made me feel not so bad was she was old...I man 70 years is a long time to live.”
Spoken like a true crackhead. Isn't it amazing how such people almost always indict themselves with their own calloused words?
Here’s yet another testament to the dysgenics of crime. Here, a brilliant academic (Dr. Rebecca Twine, M.D., PhD) is mowed down on her own front lawn by a marginal, deeply troubled and drug addled teen, devoid of the ability to replace the talents lost in any appreciable way.
So the world loses Dr. Rebecca Twine and still has the deeply troubled and woefully self-centered Kayla Gerdes around. That’s the very definition of dysgenic, "the less intelligent, less productive and less able are displaced, via crime (especially violent crime) by the less intelligent, less productive and less able."
That's what I’d call a LOSE-LOSE proposition...and that is the general and overall impact of crime, especially violent crime.

Single mothers are pretty much the root of all crime, too. All too sad.
ReplyDeleteSad, but true and pointing out the obvious makes one appear "mean-spirited" in today's bizarro-world.
ReplyDeleteStill, that stupefyingly dumb quote, "The thing that made me feel not so bad was that she was old...I mean 70 years is a long time to live."
THAT is a classically SOCIOPATHIC declaration....the kind of thing you might expect someone who'd do something like this ("kinda sorta") deliberately.
Yeah, really old, she was MOWING HER YARD!!!
ReplyDeleteObamabot, she is. I guarantee it.

ReplyDeleteThere's a bet you won't lose.
In fact, she'd make a better "liberal" Secretary of Health than anyone now on the scene...although I'm certain there are are quite a few career bureaucrats who think much the same.
I loove (OK, actually LOATHE) the self-centered rationalization for her actions. First telling cops, "nothing happened here, everything's alright..." then THIS monstrosity of a pseudo-justification, in effect, "OK, I ran her down and killed her, but she was old, so it's not that bad."
In a better (more just) community, she'd have already been stoned to death....which begs the question, WHY is it that so many guilty of infidelity are stoned to death in places where the "religion of peace" holds sway and not more people like....well....like Kayla Gerdes???
I could really get behind a more draconian system for some of the more malevolent and malignant skells among us!
