#Documentary #carcrash #crash - บันเทิง
So, Luke’s mom, actually, annoyed me, sadly. I mean, I never want to cast negative onto grieving parents. BUT, blaming DannyLee for owning the car, is absurd. She says if DannyLee didn’t make the choices he made, Luke would be alive…. Luke made the CHOICE to get in the car. Her reasoning is junk, and, AS A PARENT WHO HAS LOST A TEEN CHILD, it’s absolutely disgusting to blame someone who is not responsible. It’s disingenuous, and I don’t respect it. At all.
I agree but grief 😥 makes people say things they don't really mean
@@rec.thecritic I completely understand that, and am not trying to be inconsiderate of that fact. However, if it were my child who owned the car, the amount of guilt they would have throughout their life, would be sufficient. NOT for the driver! They need prison!
Both families are in grief moreover they weren't forced into that car
I understand both sides!! I think what Luke's mom was trying to say but it didn't come out right or was expressed properly was that she blames Danny Lee because he was the driver of his car, and was in direct care and control over it!! Knowing that his cousin was not an experienced driver and that he may not be as careful as he should, Danny Lee never should have let his cousin drive his car on that night with other friends in the vehicle with them!! When his cousin was driving recklessly, Danny Lee should have intervened much sooner before the accident happened!! This is what I believe Luke's mother was trying to say and if so, I do agree that he is responsible for the crash for aiding and abetting!!
This documentary was presented extremely well with all details but most importantly with care and due respect to Luke's family. I hope he is somewhere magical dancing to his hearts content. Much love to his parents and may time ease their terrible pain.❤
The thing that stood out most to me in this heartbreaking tragedy was, the fact that the detectives actually checked into Danny Lee's statements.
Too many times have there been innocent ppl thrown into prison due to assumptions and mishandled investigations.
Rest in loving peace Luke
I'm the mother of 3 adults and 1 teenager and we have to stop the mentality of "they're young and stupid, we've all been there". Since all my kids were old enough to understand I started talking to them about all these "young and stupid " behaviors. I purposefully showed them car accidents and even showed them pictures of mangled bodies after accidents (if you look for them you'll find them). I showed them documentaries of prisons, maximum security jails, etc. Police interrogations were also part of the repertoire as well as videos of people under the influence of drugs and alcohol. When they went into puberty I used some of their school break time and made them do a project on STDS, teen pregnancy and how to take care of babies. I'm sure I'm going to be criticized here but I'd rather do that than not do anything to prevent my children from not thinking things through. My 3 adult ones tell me that what I did worked. At least I tried!
Well if they criticize then they will criticize me to When I started reading your comment it was like reading the story of my own life I'm a retired Nurse /Matron and during my career I've seen heartbreaking incidences this was the reason for my approach of dealing with these type of matters in my bringing-up 'program' I also have four children with nine grand kids of which three of them is already adults and one great grand kid And my children is following in my footsteps teaching their kids the same rules and values in life
@@annamariaerasmus6492 I wish there were more people like us instead of adults who justify reckless behaviors. 🥰
@@Alicia-BGno one is JUSTIFYING anything. It’s called REALITY.
@@Free420Love it is a sad reality because when you justify bad behavior with cliches that's what's created; a reality.
@@Alicia-BG you did a great job/what you were supposed to do! My daughter just turned 1 last wknd, I pray every day and night that she lives a long, healthy, and safe life, and that ill do a good job in raising her. I will be doing the same thing you did! Nobody knows anything until they're taught, I wish my parents had talked to me back when I was young, I wouldn't of done half the shit I did!
Man that poor fire man is traumatized
I’m confused why Dannylee got almost the same amount of time as that spoiled brat Zax?!! He was telling the truth from the beginning yet the one who lied and acted as if they were wasting his time during the interrogation, the one who never showed any remorse only got 8 years?!! I understand he let the 🤬 drive the car but it seems to me like maybe Zax is a bully and when he wants something he gets it!! I guess we can all breathe a sigh of relief that he’s in jail at all. Great work to the police officers and forensic workers for figuring out who was actually driving. Sending love and support to the first responders, police officers and the family’s of these young men. R.I.P. Luke your story was to short and I am so truly sorry. You are dancing in heaven. 💙🙏🏽💙
Sending love and support to Sonny whom now has to deal with an anger that he can not control. I really pray with time he gets better. 🩵🙏🏽🩵
Yeah. Zax is guilty of what he did…. I can’t stand beside Dannylee’s sentence. It’s not even close to compatible.
Stupid British judge!!!
Danny was not the killer, he didn't take anyone's life or make that choice to actually have 3 peoples lives in his hands including his own and any other drivers he may collide with. It was intentional recklessness, the fact that he could lie so blatantly, be so cock sure he could get away with it,traumatise everyone by his gross deception and at his age so drunk, was an accident waiting to happen.
Totally unfair that Danny got almost the same time as Zax.
And Sonny is damaged forever by trauma.
Sov very sad😢
With Luke dancing was amazing. Thank you for sharing those memories.
When he said “my little Luke” you could literally see Dannylee’s heart break. 😢
Blaming DannyLee equates to blaming a rape victim for what they were wearing.
He wasn't driving. He told Zax to slow down. Zax was drunk.
Why DannyLee got almost as much time as the killer says a lot.
Zax should have been put away for life. Drunk driving. Lying. Blaming an innocent kid. Disgusting.
And the Mom ... just wow. I realize you need to put your anger somewhere but maybe put it on the actual person that killed your son.
Danny was just as guilty. He allowed an unlicensed driver behind the wheel and allowed him to get out of control. It was his responsibility as the vehicle owner and licensed driver to maintain control of the vehicle. Which is why his charge was aiding and abetting.
However, I do agree the driver should have got more time.
I agree, completely.
@@lennychorn147You’re trippin, Dude. Not even close. I’ve NEVER seen a scenario like this in the US. However, men who ra*e/mur*er CHILDREN get 25 (tops) years in prison, in that Country, and many others. Crazy! And Gross!
Aaaahahahahaha. Yeah okay.
@HunterB738 Aww did somebunny hurt your feewings?
I don't think it's quite fair that the one telling the truth got almost as much time as the actual perpetrator. Idk...Dannylee let Zax drive....but we can all see how awful a person Zax seems to be.... aggressive and hateful and spoiled. I'm sure he was pushing Danny quite a bit that night.
I've often been angered by British legal system (Australian here!;)) and the sentencing maximums given, particularly around r@pe and ca but also sentencing of young people and accomplices.
Danny should never have been charged!
I'm happy that they caught the arrogant, lying creep.
That Mum: "Had it not been for Danny-Lee; Luke wouldn't have been in the car so I blame HIM" !!!??? WTF ???
In the same vein of Her argument: SHE should have been charged with and spent time behind bars for upbringing a teenager stupid enough to go for a drive with somebody who he knew to be uninsured and had no driver's licence......
She's delusional. Zax was driving. If it hadn't have been Danny-Lee's car then another one of them would have got a ar sooner or later and the very same fate awaited them.
Like Sonny said: The fact that Zax knew all along and lied and tried to put the blame on Danny-Lee is intolerable. He should have been put away for much longer.
@@user-oe1mb9hu9ii agree she really pis*ed me of when she said that! Danny didn’t know zax was going to do that
I'm shocked they gave Danny Lee 6years. That's outrageous. He told him to slow down
You can't control somebody else
And HE WASNT DRIVING. INSANE they need to appeal
Agreed
If Zaks was driving he needs to Man up
I'm just watching this. Was it Zak driving? So far Dannylee seems earnest. He seems to really want to figure out what happen. Did Zak just walk away from the crash?
Zax is acoward
However it was Dannylees car with no insurance he has liability too
No words will fix nor help this sad situation. I have a 20 year old son and a 18 year old daughter, both drive and l know too well how this age group drive as l too travelled and drove at those ages sometimes in a reckless manner. There is no excuse for it only a lack of maturity and experience. I do worry alot as young people are always in cars wether it be my children driving or their friends and it's truly frightening to think how easy a human life can be lost in the blink of an eye. Documentaries exactly like this really need to be used in high schools and even before a licence is given to educate our youth and hopefully it will stick in their minds. I am truly sorry for all involved in this documentary, the police, fire fighters, nurses, doctors and anyone else that sees the devastating effects of dangerous and reckless driving. May luke/Laura be at peace, Tracey from Australia xo
Well said, Tracey. Love, from California, USA❤
but speed limiter wag dag
I tell people who don't take speeding seriously.
Driving along at 70 ..80.90..mph if anything happens braking or control of the vehicle is impossible. So just don't do it especially with innocent passengers
The people excusing this with the “kids do this” bs enrage me. No, MOST kids don’t do this. Arrogant, selfish, ignorant, careless, and extremely immature kids with no sense of responsibility do this. This is more than taking a “typical” risk. This was illegal driving without a license, recklessly speeding while drunk, THEN the person doing all of this, leaves the scene of the accident (also illegal) and cowardly convinces his cousin to take blame of the accident and death of his friend. He lies to the police multiple times, still trying to avoid the consequences of his actions with ZERO remorse and refuses to take ANY accountability. Don’t equate this to acceptable or understandable behavior because it’s neither. It’s ego, arrogance, stupidity and ignorance. A blatant disregard for the safety of his friends and other people on the road. If YOU did this as a teenager, shame on you. You were WAY out of touch with reality and if you’re still trying to excuse or justify this horrible tragedy with the sentiment that “kids take risks” or some other bs statement- you’re still way out of touch with reality. Kids WILL read your comments and think it’s okay to be reckless on the roads because that’s what kids do. It’s not what cars or roads are for. They’re not for fun, they’re to travel from point a to point b. Period.
Wow, Zax just laughing and joking in the initial interview with no ounce of guilt whatsoever knowing full well he caused all this. And to try and get away with it all by throwing his cousin under the bus. No feelings at all, disgusting.
So sorry this happened to everyone involved, but I don't think Danny Lee should be blamed. He shouldn't be held responsible for his cousin's actions.
Most of us took risks at that age, and got really, really lucky that nothing bad happened. This is a sad one😢.
I would HOPE the majority of us mature ones never put our friends lives at risk that way.
Most are hypocrites and won’t admit that. Good comment. Kinda like drinking and driving.
Most of us didn't have two unlicensed people driving at very high speed, with one heavily drunk, and with a faulty seatbelt that was only being held in place. Of course kids take stupid risks, but this was beyond the norm, and would be more lucky to not have a serious accident, rather than unlucky to be in an accident.
For the passengers, it's of course more similar, but definitely not for the drivers.
This is more than taking a risk. Tf? This was illegal driving without a license, recklessly speeding while drunk, THEN the person doing all of this, leaves the scene of the accident (also illegal) and convinces his cousin to take blame of the accident and death of his friends. He lies to the police multiple times and has ZERO remorse for his actions, still trying to avoid the consequences and refusing to take ANY accountability. Don’t equate this to acceptable or understandable behavior as “kids do this” because we don’t. Some kids do, most know better. It’s ego, arrogance, stupidity and ignorance.
I agree. So many of us as new drivers and out to enjoy the new freedoms that cars give us. When I was 16 I couldn't wait to get my driver's license. Being from the midwest in my teens driving and having your own car was everything.
One Saturday, 2 of my younger sisters and their 2 friends were all in my car. I was speeding at their urging, we were having fun. The roads we were on were well used country dirt roads. I knew the area in the boonies well. I had a boyfriend that lived in that area. So, Beautiful mid morning we were flying up a small hill but when we crested the sun popped in my eyes! It wasnt until it was too late to hit the brakes that I'd ran the STOP. I was slamming on the brakes, sliding thru on the dirt gravel. I think there was some squeeling coming from some of the girls. Maybe it was me. When we came to a stop, we looked back realizing we got dsmned lucky. This country road often had combines, harvesters, huge tractors and drunk old men in pickups. We ere so lucky, so very lucky. If I had been hit or hit one of these huge farming vehicles, no doubt all five of us wouldn't be here and 2 families would have been devistated.
This was only one of a few incidents that could have taken our lives. 😢
Teens don't generally go out to risk our lives. It's our impulsively and youth that are more likely than not find us drawn to these situations.
Imo it really was both their faults. But the driver lying and trying to pin it on his cousin deserves way more time. His lack of remorse is disgusting.
I'm completely disgusted with the father that backed up his guilty son. His attitude and arrogance made my blood boil, he was perfectly fine letting his cousin take the blame!! Why his sentence wasn't more is mindblowing!!
Having said that, it's a tragedy. None of these families will be the same. I wonder if Zach has enough decency not only to own up to what he's done but to better himself, he seems to be too arrogant for such self-reflection.
It's RIDICULOUS that Danny Lee is being blamed at all.
At all? He encouraged and let his drunk cousin drive. Are you kidding me?
Luke’s seatbelt not locking in reduced his survival rate immensely-possibly from 50% to 0%
It may as well have not been used,it was useless.
That’s on Dannylee.
But for Zax irresponsible speed & erratic driving,it wouldn’t have happened.
Luke’s life & future looked like it would have been something special. What I tragic loss to his loved ones.
The love of my life died 6 years ago this month. I’m alive, but to say I’m living is a gross overstatement. At his funeral I just fell into his mom’s arms and we just cried and cried. Not a day goes by, or even an hour. If heaven is so great, why do I have to stay here?
Your here for a reason, I truly believe that.
I'm so sorry for your loss and pain. I feel the exact same way since losing my daddy/BFF. I completely stopped existing that day. I'm not the same person. The only thing I look forward to is the day I die when I can be with my daddy and pets that have passed in heaven.
I empathize with you all. Feeling similar. A piece of me has died along with the passing of the ones that I loved dearly. 😢
Prayers be with the families involved in this. How could Dannylee get more charges than Zax? Because he let him drive intoxicated? If so, then, by those rules, why was Sonny not charged also? or because it was his car? By those standards, if a passenger in our own car, are we held accountable for everything the person driving our car does just like them? That is ridiculous! I have never seen a case end so "unjust" like this. Zax should have been charged with murder, dui, leaving the scene of an accident, and I am sure there are more. He also should have got no less than 50 years. Sorry to Luke's Mum but I don't think Dannylee should have been charged with anything. If he wasn't driving at the time of the accident how can he be charged with no license or insurance? Because it is his car?? Again... ridiculous! It is so hard to believe a court system could make this legal much less call it justice.
48:31 how in the hell did he get aiding in a bedding? Because it was his car? That wouldn't have happened in the US I don't think. There may have been a civil suit, but I don't think would have charged the owner.
aiding and abetting
@@DoubleMonoLRwow, the grammar police
Spelling you mean??
That Mum: "Had it not been for Danny-Lee; Luke wouldn't have been in the car so I blame HIM" !!!??? WTF ???
She's delusional. Zax was driving. If it hadn't have been Danny-Lee's car then another one of them would have got a ar sooner or later and the very same fate awaited them.
Like Sonny said: The fact that Zax knew all along and lied and tried to put the blame on Danny-Lee is intolerable. He should have been put away for much longer.
Danny admitted his fault, including that he was also unlicensed & driving recklessly himself, and that his cousin was copying him. He also would've known that the seatbelt was faulty, it couldn't even be buckled in.
Zax is certainly more at fault, but Danny definitely contributed significantly.
Yes. That mother’s words were dreadful. By her logic, the blame can all be put on Luke for deciding to go….🤷♀️ But normal human beings wouldn’t put the blame where it doesn’t belong! She is doing that, and it’s disgusting, honestly.
I'm glad the truth was established in the end. Good documentary.
Loved Unsolved Mysteries in the 90s, among my favourite shows. Kinda gone down the true crime/doc rabbit hole in the last few years. This may be the best doc I've ever seen. So well presented, the music, access, police acces, family participation. Incredibly emotional.
46:00 of course he ran off! He was drunk AF! But to sit there and blame your cousin and be so fucking arrogant in the police is face like that?! That's a psychopath right there!
I understand the mother's feeling of loss, but if Dannylee wasn't encouraging Zax to drive the way he did, he's not really responsible, and he's certainly not more responsible than Zax.
I don't understand why Danny Lee was sentenced at all.
This case reminds me of the recent one where a teenage girl purposely crashed her car to kill her boyfriend and his friend and she was convicted, and now she’s in prison, because her boyfriend was breaking up with her so it was like if she can’t have him, no one will
My brother, sister, and I each lost a best friend due to a car accident. Although accidents can happen, please be cautious, slow down, stay aware while driving, and do not drive under the influence. Your or someone else’s life is never worth it. So sorry to all who’ve been lost.
Very well done.
Compassionate and yet to the point.
What a tragic story, so very sad😢
That mom is disgusting, blaming Dannylee.
Parents teach your children/teens to never follow. Never get in a vehicle with someone's who has been drinking to call you and you will pick them.up. no questions asked No anger. Hope a parent or some one will remember and this will help save lives. There but for the Grace of God go I.
It’s NOT uncommon for good friends to hangout and let each other drive their cars…. Especially if someone spots the gas money
I would never let my friend drive my car, let alone if they were drinking...that's just asking for an accident that at best insurance will not cover, and at worst someone is seriously hurt or killed like in this situation. Maybe it's different in the UK 🤷🏼♀️
Man that is sad!
This is a sad story all around. The issue I have with the whole situation is the officer trying to get information from Dannylee when he is so obviously in shock. Anything he said should not have been allowed in court as he was not read his rights and he needed medical attention even if he declared he didn't- I mean just look at the car...everyone should have gone to hospital. I can understand the charges against Dannylee because he should have been declared as the "responsible licensed driver who was in charge of the car being driven by a non-licensed driver". I would also look into Zak's dad's whereabouts on that night. How did Zak get home? Where was his Dad? Zak's family tried to cover for him. Zak must have some angel on his shoulder as he was clear headed enough to leave the scene leaving a stunned/shocked Dannylee to pick up the pieces. As far as Dannylee being responsible for Luke's choice to ride along...I am sure Luke was very capable of making his own decisions and he chose to go for the ride. Dannylee cannot be responsible for Luke's choices.
Wait I am confused. How come when it was proven Dan wasn’t the driver he still got 6 years?? Said for aiding and abetting? I don’t think that is right at all. One they were young boys and not to justify it but I mean young people don’t always think what could happen and him letting his cousin drive to teach him was a mistake but a 6 year mistake? Also that was a serious crash and yes at first he said he was the driver but right after at the scene of the crash he then said he wasn’t the driver and was confused. Which could be from that crash because after that he was firm with the police that he wasn’t the driver and that it was his cousin Zac. So from day 1 he wasn’t trying to help his cousin. It was th e police that didn’t believe him. I don’t know am I missing something or does anyone else feel like the loss of his friend and the guilt he has to carry is punishment in itself since he wasn’t even the driver ?
So sad. Compliments for this really well done documentary..
Such a sad story, no matter how you look at it.😢condolences too the families.
So very sad for the Moms ...ALL OF THEM !!!
This was an excellent video. Well done 👍 My heart goes out to the boys and their family and friends. 😢
Too bad Dannylee had to go through all that with his friend Zach lying.
Cousin actually 😢
Heartbreaking!
What…! DannyLee got 6 years for letting someone else drive his car??? That is completely insane, he was in a car crash that wasn’t his fault and that killed his friend and he is thrown in prison!
(Danny Lee) "Ross-Barringer, also from Paulsgrove, admitted he had been 'showing off' and said his cousin had been attempting to copy him.", ie: they were both driving very dangerously, and either of them could've caused an accident. Also *neither* of them had a driving licence, he would've clearly known that Lukes seatbelt was useless(he was *holding* it in place), and he let(& possibly encouraged) his drunk cousin drive.
Danny "admitted aiding and abetting causing death by dangerous driving, aiding and abetting causing serious injury by dangerous driving, aiding and abetting causing death by driving unlicensed and aiding and abetting causing death by driving uninsured."
Albeit Zax obviously had an appallingly callous attitude.
I'm so sorry!!! My heart aches for Lukes Mom 😭😭😭😭
You have a new sub and likes for every video. Thank you 😊 ❤
DannyLee was as responsible as Luke. While he didn't deserve to die, and that's what it's called an accident, DannyLee wasn't driving. His cousin had a lot to drink and it's too bad that the 3 boys didn't realize it. If they did an they all got into that vehicle, they're all as guilty as the other. No one deserves what happened, but, they all had a choice and I hope they didn't choose to get into a car with a person they knew was drinking heavily.
Dammit man RIP Luke AKA Laura. I’m glad they found out what really happened.
Danny was waiting cross legged on the car because he wasn't going to take off like Zachs. And Danny half wanted to protect Zachs.
Although very sad, it was an eye opener. The one person that did everything right, was the one that died.😢
Interesting documentary
That’s my question. Why or how was he allowed to have this car with no drivers license to begin with?
He took it from his dad
My husband doesn't have a driver's license but owns our car. In the United States you don't need one to purchase one. You can't drive it off the lot yourself, but you can buy it and register it to yourself.
49:38 I’m sorry, but your son/daughter Luke/Laura chose to go out with his friends, chose to get in the car. Dannylee didn’t abduct your kid and force him to go. This was an accident at the hands of irresponsible young adults. If Dannylee is to blame for your child’s death, then so are you for not being at home to protect them and stop them from going out. Accidents happen, and you can’t protect people from themselves. Dannylee is clearly very sorry and will pay for his part of this incident for the rest of his life.
“If” Dannylee was aware of the broken seatbelt, only then would I as a mother blame him equally to the driver.
Driver should be getting at least 20 years in prison for DUI and manslaughter IMO. RIP Luke🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦
8 years?! That’s it!
I mean Luke did make his own decision to get into the car, the mom shouldnt be putting that all on Dannylee
Tragedy all over. 😢everyone lost here. Rip Luke
Unfortunately, I think that Luke's mother is being completely ludicrous. I understand her loss but to say that he was innocent, they were all innocent, stupid but innocent. How could she say that she wished it was one of the other boys is horrible. As far as I'm concerned, Zach was the one driving and speeding. Despite his friends telling him to slow down, he kept going. And he left his cousin to take the blame, with his father's help! Disgusting!!!
A full licenced driver allowing a non licensed person behind the wheel, is equally responsible
It was said that Luke's seatbelt wasn't functioning properly, and that faulty seatbelt probably caused his death. 🥺🥀
18:03 “I felt that Dannylee was lying. We had a lot of work to do, to PROVE that he was lying.” Funny, because the officer lies 10 seconds prior during the interview by telling Dannylee he had admitted to driving multiple times. He didn’t. Police are as bad there as in the United States. They wanted Dannylee to pay regardless of who was driving. Crazy.
Whether he specifically said he was driving or not, he was clearly talking as though he was driving immediately after the accident.
@@DoubleMonoLR he didn’t initially remember due to the accident and shock, or he was already trying to cover for his cousin being behind the wheel and realized how stupid that was once it went from accident to manslaughter. There are 3 others, no 2 others. Yeah 2…
@@hafidcristobal25Being in a very tragic accident myself . I know I was definitely in shock. I remember being asked many questions and I felt like I wasn't there I was in another place .I never said to much at all . I was hurt badly I knew when I stood up , but I didn't feel it.
Damn y'all really had me thinking Danny Lee did it at first!
He wasn't scared, he was in shocked and didn't remember nothing head trauma. I remember this happened to my son. He couldn't remember anything
Unfortunately, young people think they’re invincible. I know when I was young, we were all driving fast and being very irresponsible drivers. Then we started losing kids in our class (class of ‘89 lost 3 kids in our senior year & 1 a year later). That was just in my tiny high school.
Kids NEED to see crashes and victim impact statements, etc when they’re learning to drive.
Luke made a decision on his own I feel like Danny Lee is taking way more shit than he deserves how the hell was he aiding and abeding I'd like to know he shouldn't have been charged with anything
Who own the vehicle? Parents need to teach young people to be responsible for themselves and others. Don't drink and Drive people. It kills
I lost my sister to something similar. My best friend was driving. He lied and my sister was dead at the age of 17. My parents were never the same nor I
Luke was only a month younger than my daughter. RIP.
Tragic
So, was Zac drunk prior to driving?
I watched this on Netflix and It really annoyed me that the cops said the last ting for evidence was the seat belt burn on the clothes will show who was driving, Yet when you look at the video evidence you can see he has no Bandage in the take away or when he paid for the petrol, yet says the injury was a while ago, they had it right there. So sad all-round . xxx
Do they not train their officers to recognize when a person is in shock?
The driver was clearly in shock and scared.
Wow. What a dirtbag Jax is. He carelessly snuffed a soul from this world and then ran away from it all. Really disgusting and abhorrent behavior. I really dont understand how he could run off like that. Id be beside myself with guilt and anguish. It really solidified it with me when he started getting angry when shown solid evidence that he was with them and being the driver. awful awful person.
People please dont judge mom for saying she blames Dannylee as much or more than Zax. She is grieving the loss of her child from a very traumatic death. You cannot imagine what this does to a mother's mind. And I hope you never know. She has played over and over again the "what if" and "if only" game in her head trying to figure out what went wrong and how she could have saved her child. Most of what is going thru her mind is nonsense. It's trying to connect dots that will never connect. It's trying to use logic when your brain no longer possesses any logic. Because when you lose a child in this manner, nothing makes sense, no matter how hard you try to make it make sense. And I would bet my life that she does blame herself, in so many ways. They are all wrong, just like many of the thoughts that race past a mind that is stuck on high speed. It throws images and morsels of thoughts past your eyes without ever slowing down to rest, not even in sleep, which comes only rarely and in short spurts. She feels pain, emptiness, broken, guilt, shame, confusion, pride, love, longing, anger, honor, but mostly she feels numb. Time stops and in that instant, everything about you, down to your very core, changes, dies, and a new person is born. Someone you dont recognize in the mirror, someone who questions everything and everyone. Trust doesnt exist, but fear does. Your will to live even one more day in this new world and new body is just not possible. The bouts of severe trauma depression and even suicidal thoughts are constant and they bombard you day and night. If you dont have good caring people around you for support you wont make it. So please dont judge this mother for her feelings, her feelings are valid, they are real, and we need to be sympathetic and understanding. We dont have to agree, just allow her to feel however she feels. You are not walking in her ugly shoes. Her shoes are those we all wear as mothers who have lost children to traumatic deaths. I am coming up on 10 yrs into the ugly shoes club and I will never again be the person I was before that one single moment in time. I even got a new pair of ugly shoes 7 years ago, and I hate them as well. I wish that no mother anywhere from now till time ends would never know the horror of having to bury their child, nor to have to carry on living with the images and heartbreaking thoughts of losing them to a traumatic death. Instead of judging her for something you cant imagine, I ask you to instead show her a little bit of compassion. And if you have kids, of any age, hug them a little bit longer, a little bit tighter tonight, and thank your God that you still can. Some of us will never hug our children again. Judging us is not helpful, it's cruel. We feel how we feel, she feels how she feels, and I assure you, she has earned those feelings, she paid an extremely high price for them. Say a prayer for her, then one for you and your children. No one is ever told that they are next, or even that they are on a list. We just assume our kids will live, grow up, become adults, and be there to bury us. No one ever really explained the possibility that we could be burying them. No one allows themselves to consider such things. Until they are forced to. And your brain starts talking all kinds of crazy shit. Let it be. You may be next. I wont judge how you feel. I already know what it's like.
The thing about it is it's more unhealthy for her to blame an innocent person who is hurting from the loss as well he doesn't deserve that from her or anyone she needs to realize her child made a decision just like everyone in that car did the faster she can understand the sooner she can start to heal
@@lisaeaker9064 but who are you to decide when or how she realizes things you can never understand? So you get to judge her but she isn't allowed to judge him. Okay, I got it now, thanks for clearing that up for me.
And remember, I didn't say whether she is right or wrong, I merely asked people to not judge her harshly, simply because when your child dies a horrific traumatic death, no one can explain what happens to your mind, your whole thought process. It will take her exactly how ever long it takes her to learn how to cope with what has happened. I do feel bad for the guy who wasn't actually driving or lying, however he did let the guy drive his car which was outside of his normal bounds. That doesn't make the death his fault, but for a mother who is 24/7 searching for why, she has in her mind assigned him some blame. Hopefully that will change someday and they even have a talk about it. But until then, I think she has had to bare the bulk of the load of loss here, if it's hard for him, Im sorry but that's life too. I just asked people to take it easy on her. Until you walk in those shoes, you don't get to decide when she thinks what. You haven't earned that privilege, and I pray you never do. Though it would change how you think and that would be a good thing, I still would never wish the experience on you. Have a great night.
The firemen really need to be complimented on the handling of the victims. I could never do such a job no matter what the salary.
*Talk about living in the land of denial and delusions. At least his Mother knew exactly who he was. She didn't fall for this flailed social experiment!*
I was an American Firefighter/EMT/First Responder in Texas and in Arkansas. I was glade that I was able to rescue alit of people when thry were in desperate need of help. But with that being said. I'm glad I'm not doing that type of work anymore. I've fine. Well, except for my severe physical disabilities. But I function well dveryday with my family and friends. Its just that the most awful Emergency situations stay with every Emergency Personnel for life. You can't do that job and not be emotionally involved. You can try but some will just tear you up. Especially, when you have a family. I'm glad I was able to do that type of work but I'm glad I won't have to see some people at their worst and lowest. Especially how drunks walk away fine but destroyed a families life forever and not even really seem to care. The only thing they care about is how they can not get in trouble for what they did while on drugs and alcohol. 9 out of 10 say it wasn't really their fault. Sorry for rambling but their are some people in this world that society would be much better off without them walking and driving around.
So they think justice is giving the drunk driver a person that purposefully drove like a mad man 8 years and the guy that let his drunk friend drive get 6.
The actual driver only got 2 extra years. 35 years for the driver 15 years for the goof that let him drive. Apparently, all court systems have failed the victims snd society. The criminals have more rights than the good honest law abiding citizens.
*It's sickening!*
IM SORRY I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY OR HOW ALL YOU PEOPLE. CAN BLAME THE DRIVER THERE ALL TO BLAME IM SORRY THIS HAPPENED ITS VERY SAD 😢
I knew Zack was guilty bc the CTV footage of him with his dad did not show his hand wrapped up from his so called "wrist injury". That man had cuts and marks all over his hands. A bruse on his top left side of his head above his left eyebrow. And he was sitting as if he was in pain, hunched over. That pain hits you the hardest 2 days after an accident. Why haven't the detectives mentioned his hand not being wrapped up that night?????
Dannylee got almost as many years sentence as Zack?? Wow. Zack was the one driving without any care of anyone else. Maybe probation and community service would be acceptable but Zack was fully to blame!!
39:40 seriously?! I mean I understand she loves and misses her child, nothing will ever hurt worse than the loss of a child. It's against nature's Way, the parent is supposed to die first; but she's still angry with DL even after knowing that he's not the one that did this. And I think Zach subconsciously did this on purpose. He doesn't have a vehicle, and his cousin is driving him around. He has the money though so he can put gas in the car in demand to drive, plus with him being older, he has that going for him too. She needs to learn to forgive Danny Lee and to be mad at Jax alone. DL has been through enough as it is I think.
How could Danny Lee be guilty of anything except poor judgement?
I think that is wrong.
You can tell he concussed.
I have to agree, I don't think we can blame Danny Lee for this. I understand that it is human nature to want to blame somebody. I find Zack to be a coward, he would have let his own cousin go down for a death he was not guilty of committing and that is shameful!!!
In my opinion Dannylee was innocent too, besides the fact he let a kid that drunk drive that had never driven before.
I'm so sorry that you lost your wonderful son, However, unless Danny lee dragged your son into the car, your son has just as much responsibility for being in the ill-fated car. You aren't going to recover from your son's death if you keep all this anger and blame toward Dannylee. Personally, i think Danny lee was treated too harshly in this. Maybe 1 year but not 6.
So, where did the revenge part come into this?

May Luke RIP!!!! Prayers 🙏 go out to his family and friends!!!!! And i do think Zax should have gotten alot more time than Dannylee !!!!
Danny -Lee first said he was driving then he said it was 2 or 3 then 2 I think he to Zax to leave run home that is why he was sitting on the car because the passenger side was on the ground only way out was through driver windows
When the cop was talking to Danny at the time of the incident Danny said his 2 friends were in the back seat the cop says humm that is weird reckon why they were both in the back seat… and him going back and forth saying 2 friends then 3 friends then said 3 including him was when a red flag 🚩popped up
Well also the seat belt didn't even work....that is the main reason he died.....and yes DANNYLEE is partly to blame for letting the drunk drive his car.
WTH only 8 yrs for killing someone??? Why was he not charged with DUI also???? Why was he not charged for driving w/o a license???? Screw that, that's BS!!!! 🤬🤬
maybe it was too late for a blood test so they had no physical evidence he was over the limit ?
How was Danny lee guilty? He was just a passenger.
The Nissan Almera has a 1 liter engine. I have a Suzuki Bandit that has a 1.25 liter engine! Wow, British cars are wimpy.
Why would someone completely sober let someone completely drunk drive the car?!?!
Why didn't they just finger print the steering wheel?
If Zax was driving DannyLee would have a hard time pulling Zax out the car because the car would have him on bottom from driver side
And I thought our legal system was bad.... (USA)
DUI nope, reckless driving ending in death nope, aiding and abetting finally got one... 6 years.... while the murderer gets 8.... where are the perjury charges? where is the leaving the scene of an accident charge ? (if there are those types of charges available)
