That’s so gross and weird to do. I even feel a little bit bad sometimes even commenting on the situation because it’s not a spectacle, it’s people’s lives and they’re still probably shocked and grieving.

Imagine the reality of things right now for the kids. Don’t drive by stalk a devastated family bro.

It's so gross! I think I also got a little triggered, because it reminded me of the shit my mum used to do when I was a teen:

smol traumaShe really believed she was psychic, and would drive around at all hours of the night trying to "find" Bung Siriboon, one hand on the wheel and the other tracing words on her thigh. She'd drive like a fucking idiot too, because she wasn't paying full attention, so I'd go with her because I was afraid she'd get into a crash and die and I wouldn't know.
