Kayla Gerdes struck and killed Dr. Rebecca Twine, M.D. PhD. As Dr. Twine mowed her lawn around 9:45 AM.
Kayla Gerdes was allegedly high on Xanax and
Oxycodone at the time of the “accident.” She’s been charged with 2nd degree manslaughter, 2nd degree vehicular homicide, driving while ability impaired by drugs and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Allegedly, Ms. Gerdes insisted on taking the
wheel from the car’s owner and her co- worker, Brian Steele, because she thought he was driving too slow.
When you drive a motor vehicle while
impaired by drugs or alcohol and kill someone, that’s NOT an “accident,” it’s willful and reckless disregard for human life and it’s vehicular homicide.
Kayla Gerdes is being held on $200,000 bond
or $100,000 bail. According to reports, she was rushing because she was late to yet another court appearance on charges that she stole jewelry from “her mother’s boyfriend.”
Sounds about right.
Dr. Twine’s son Chauncey said, “I can’t even put into words what my family is going through, my mother was really the kindest, just sweetest, most gentle person that you’ll ever meet, and for her to die this way is just horrible.”
I can’t imagine that that is a momentous
understatement.
For her part, Kayla Gerdes noted, “The thing
that made me feel not so bad was she was old…I man 70 years is a long time to live.”
Spoken like a true crackhead.
Here’s yet another testament to the
dysgenics of crime. Here, a brilliant academic (Dr. Rebecca Twine, M.D., PhD) is mowed down on her own front lawn by a marginal, deeply troubled and drug addled teen, devoid of the ability to replace the talents lost in any appreciable way.
So the world loses Dr. Rebecca Twine and
still has the deeply troubled and woefully self-centered Kayla Gerdes around. That’s the very definition of dysgenic, the less intelligent, less productive and less able are displaced, via crime (especially violent crime) by the less intelligent, less productive and less able.
