    Welp, better that than killing someone else driving while blackout drunk. I have a real hard time feeling sorry for a rich person who had plenty of other options than driving (to be clear, everyone has at least one other option than driving drunk, but she had plenty of them) who died from their own shitty choices.

      Wasn’t she driving on her private property, as in this big ass piece of land from one house she had on it to another, and backed into her own lake? I mean yeah, her life has not been the most altruistic, so the hate towards her is understandable, but at least there was no danger of her injuring unknowing bystanders.

      To be honest, I’m not happy she died. Her fortune goes into inheritance to someone else, so the world is not a better place, other than that, I don’t feel like cheering the death of anyone, even a career criminal.

        I’m not cheering it, I just don’t feel particularly bad about it. She made a bad, really stupid choice when she absolutely didn’t need to drive anywhere, and it’s just fortunate that no one else was hurt.

        It’ll probably trigger more inheritance taxes with an unexpected death.
