I'm a little surprised at the hatred in this case. This is a stupid teen, drunk, given too much privilege, accidentally drove his truck into a group of 4 innocent people and horrifically, killed them. Another boy who was on his truck is now paralyzed. So sad.
But compare this to Kenneth McDuff, or other purposeful mass murderers. Kenneth McDuff killed untold numbers of women, by torturing them to death. He was on death row but his mother's influence got him RELEASED, at which time he tortured at least four more innocent young women to death.
There wasn't this kind of outrage in his crimes.
I'm honestly asking, why is there this international outrage in this case? When there are so MANY other more horrific criminals, who purposely commit many murders, why are we all so fascinated by hating this one boy who accidentally killed 4 people? Because he was driving drunk, which many teenagers do?
I'm honestly asking. What makes everyone hate this boy so much in Texas?
Because if you have time on your hands, google Kenneth McDuff. Or WORSE, google Dean Coryll. If you want to hate on evil in Texas, hate on that. I'm sorry, I'm just baffled why this upper middle class boy who accidentally (horrifically, it is a true sadness) killed 4 people has engendered such fury.
After everyone has read through Kenneth McDuff and Dean Coryll, I doubt anyone would feel quite the same venom for Ethan Couch.
Oh my...........doesn't sound like he has very cushy accommodations.:happydance:
Oh oh. That is a biggie. Definate mexican jail time for that. Maybe that's why mom left.
In 2003 Tonya ran a motorist off the road, paid a $500 fine and had 6 months community service.

That's the only thing I have seen anywhere that she was found guilty of.

I saw this tweet yesterday. I wonder how much that had to do with it?
"Authorities in MX say Couch's were traveling w/ dog that was taken from them. That was part of their argument for illegal detention @cbsdfw"

Special thanks for answering my questions. I hope the dog is okay. Funny i worry more about the dog then the two humans.
The entire family has a long, long history with law enforcement. Its been discussed up-thread.
Because they wanted to extend their stay and the hotel needed their ground-floor room for a disabled woman, the hotel employees say, they moved the Couches to another room.
The new guests found a gun inside the nightstand, the employees say. They immediately called the hotel and an employee picked up the gun and wrapped it inside a bathroom carpet and put it in a plastic bag, the employees say.
The following day, according to the hotel workers, Ethan retrieved the gun after being asked whether he had left anything in the room. He took the gun without giving any explanation, the employees said.

Tonya Couch being held in Segregation for her safety. Texas authorities there filling out paperwork.
Geez! And the plot thickens! I wonder if he is being detailed because of the gun .. among other things. :behindbar
Permission to steal that expression? That's hilarious!I just want to scrape that goofy smile off his face. With a machete.
I hope the mother is proud of herself for leaving her son behind.
And for what? His "protection?"
Brilliant.
