Don’t know the attorney personally, but a few colleagues who do say he’s solid and has a good reputation. As more information about the timeline and her movements up to the time she was sent home from work emerges, it’s looking less like a case of intentional DUI and more like some intervening event - whether…

We knew new she tasted negative for booze. She says she doesn’t remember anything until she was pulled from the car. Her lawyer made a statement that he thinks she’s got some kind of mental illness, though I’m not sure how one is supposed to act street they realize they’ve killed and hurt so many.

There’s surprisingly little emerging about her state of mind or what was going on beyond confusion because co-workers and family describe her as “meek” and “nice” and “a good person.” Authorities are tight-lipped about her so far, which leaves a vacuum for some of our WHEN MILK SPILLS! local stations. Police only said…

That’s demagoguery. Do you know you don’t have to keep doubling down? You don’t honestly believe that a few drunk college twats or rubberneckers define the whole situation, do you? You seem like an intelligent person. Intelligent people can say stupid things, but also repudiate them. You could say this:

When the facts change, I change my mind. I think the narrative of football fans and OSU alumni being a callous horde of hicks fits your feelings better right now than the fact that it would have been unsafe and unwise to send everyone back to the streets, or that people might have preferred the comfort of a familiar…

I’m not a journalist. We also have little information other than “probable cause for DUI.” It could have been any number of causes. There’s general confusion about what on earth someone known (so far as we’ve heard) to have no history of substance misuse could have been “on” at 10:30 a.m. If her father had said she…

Update for anyone interested. A 2 yr old child died in the last couple of hours, making 4 fatalities. No news on the other 7 critically injured.

Of course having to refund millions of dollars for tickets alone, without the ticket revenue to replace the scale of already expended costs, would be a factor. Then there’s the logistical matter of not only putting the brakes on the biggest event of the year, but doing it just before the official Homecoming ceremony…

No. But then what could I possibly say to change your mind? I’m not going to tell someone else how to grieve. I also don’t think it’s fair to cast aspersions on a community that has dealt with a lot of tragedy and loss for not handling this loss in the way you think they should.

I can’t agree with you about how you think Oklahoma should grieve, but I appreciate that you care about the loss.

I can’t relate the scale of OSU homecoming, much less the social lynchpin football is in Oklahoma. Everybody unites for football. And yes, T. Boone Pickens Stadium is treated like a cathedral. Tiny town, massive stadium. In Oklahoma we congenitally cope with tragedy and misery by carrying on and helping each other,…

Welp, it’s the biggest homecoming in the country, with 50k flooding the town last night, not to mention the tens of thousands of fans already at or headed to the stadium at the time of the crash. Given that OSU is no stranger to tragedy, I guess they thought they’d go ahead and do what they all gathered for, like…
