I can see how her mother might be slightly comforted by the thought of her sad daughter (if, in fact she was) snatching a few moments of love and excitement out of life and choosing how her life would end (she HAD to know, right?). Choosing how and when to die must be quite a feeling. I agree with none of her choices but, doing things on HER terms might have held appeal for her.
Well he/she worked magic and he was out of the last set of cuffs/shackles. IMO
I’m in total agreement with you there. Options are a sins and stones thing. I’ve had the means to give these girls of mine options. Let’s keep in mind that if we could rewind time one month, and read a bio of this woman prior to all this, we’d be respecting her fortitude in a 25+ year unblemished career around convicts in an area with less than zero economy, serving what is described as a maternal role for younger hires, in an environment where livable houses go for five digits and the media cannot find a friend to interview about her. Think about that - has anyone seen a friend of hers in the news? She didn’t have a circle of relatable women around her. I work in finance on Wall Street. I have women around me who would show up in a severe crisis, publicly and privately. Not seeing that for VW.
I believe this! No one expected this and I don't know her and I am gobsmacked by what she has done. Thankfully that no one else was injured (that we know of). As for CW, his life is what he's made it and it's only going to get worse IMO>
Agree with all.
Yes. Vicky exercised her personal agency even if it wasn't completely rational or can ever be understood by other's. We can be thankful no innocent people were injured or died. I posted earlier that I thought she had a long-term plan in mind until today when I realized her only plan was to RUN. Why? What was she running from or to? Did she even consciously know why?
I certainly feel sad. I know her Mom feels sad. Her former coworkers feel sad. And yes, I know she committed crimes. MOO
Why would he shoot her, and not himself either (or too?). Personally, I don't doubt that she killed herself. Law enforcement in prison have it especially hard. Often in protective custody (solitary confinement 23 hours/day). She made no efforts to conceal that she was the one who liberated him from prison. She knew they had her dead to rights, and she'd never be free again. Lots of motivation for suicide, as far as I can see...
Maybe he considered her his "commonlaw wife"? They did have the same last name...
Yup!
Totally respect your statements and opinion here, but disagree. I'm a mother of three also. All three are grown and on their own with well paying career choices. I can't for one second imagine living through what VW's mother has lived through the last several days. Her whole life as she knew it is now turned on it's head and poof, GONE. The intimate details splashed on every news media website and newspaper. And we know more information will be coming. VW's mom has been living a nightmare the last few days and just recieved the most devastating news ever. Her daughter is no longer alive after throwing her life, savings, and career away on a man with a very bad history. A man she knew was bad. As a mom I imagine knowing these things would be heartbreaking. Almost unforgivable. If one of my children were to make these kinds of choices it would kill me. There would no way I could possibly wrap my brain around it and the questions I would have about why would haunt me until my death. I feel that what has happened the last several days and especially now with her death, VW's mom is going to really need a lot of support from the people who love her. Even without helping a violent felon escape and go on the run, just the way VW has died is enough to break any person. Especially a mother. JMO
