How will the Ethan Couch saga end? Will it be bloody?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33158points) December 21st, 2015

Couch is the so-called ‘affleunza’ kid who killed four people while driving drunk a couple years ago when he was a teen-ager.

He basically got off scot-free, primarily because his dad is wealthy.

He missed a probation office session, apparently is now considered a fugitive. He and his mother are suspected of having left the country.

How is this going to end? If they’re still in the US, my guess is that it ends in a shootout and mommy and the kid go out in a blaze of glory.

If they did leave the US, they may be too notorious to evade capture.

But no matter what, the kid has lost all street cred by escaping with his mommy.

He’s too big of a fuck up to evade capture. They’ll catch him.

He never had street cred, a kid who gets off because of a rich daddy has no cred of any sort.

And it won’t be a bloody end. Rich white kids don’t end that way. Hell, white biker gangs that have been in shoot outs with the police don’t end that way!

Hopefully it will end as it should have (imo) in the first place. His ass in prison.
Only this time with a bonus – his mother in the clink too.

He’s common looking, and I assume they have fled overseas.

Probably an eventual OD. May take a few years. If he’s in the will, he might have to snuff mom first.

Or a President Trump pardon. Surely he says he didn’t do it, and we should take his word for it.

@ibstubro – snuffing mom is possible. I wonder how much of the issue here is Oedipal. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Not that it matters any, but mom is sort of cute in a MILFy way.

The entire saga is just another statement on what everyone knows to be true. The rich play by different rules. At this point there is little use in debating the timeless truth of this aside from jogging our short memories.

I see the kid doing stupid to stay out or returning. Better yet, I think Mommy may make it deadly. The kid never has to think.
Parents( both nuts- check out Dad also -Yeeks) are crazy.
I don’t see her ‘allowing’ them to go to prison.
Those in prison will be waiting for him.
Can you see that kid queuing up for commissary?
Me either.

They should have just gave him a pistol, they could have regulated him better, or a pack of smokes then he might have been banned from the roadway as you really can’t smoke anywhere these days. ~~~
