Mow-down LI teen has a sick way of looking at bright side of death [Do I look hot in my mugshot?]

She mowed down a helpless, elderly woman while driving a van high on drugs, but a twisted Long Island teen still claimed to see a bright side to the horrific crash.

"The thing that made me not feel so bad was, she was old," hellcat Kayla Gerdes, 18, told investigators after she was busted for killing 69-year-old Rebecca Twine Wright as the retired doctor trimmed her lawn Tuesday, a source told The Post.

Gerdes, of Freeport, claimed to once be a model. And she was so self-absorbed in the hours after the wreck that she told cops interviewing her she wants "to see a newspaper of the news, to see what I look like."

[varyouga]

So sad. It looks like she's a picture-perfect product of what the liberal media and Hollywood shapes young women to be - stupid, vain, slutty, drug-addicted and willing to do 'anything' for a buck.

[Red Badger]

"The thing that made me not feel so bad was, she was old," hellcat Kayla Gerdes, 18... Which you will be when you get out of prison........................

[gimme1ibertee]

This is what we have come to as a country...
The 60’s wave of cavalier sex,do-your-own-thing attitudes
and rampant drug use,coupled with permissiveness,political correctness,the sense of entitlement and total disregard for human life has brought us to this point. God help us.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

“Hellcat”? What is this, the 1930’s?

[Dudoight]

If she is an example of the humans we are now producing in this society....God help us.

I just can’t comprehend the narcissism so prevalent today.

[Red Badger]

Maybe they can Lindsey Lohan to play her in the movie version.................

[Russ]

She will probably not spend one day in prison. Her slick lawyer will convince the jury that it was the old lady’s fault for being on her lawn.

[Red Badger]

If she is an example of the humans we are now producing in this society....God help us.

She is an example of what LIBERAL humans produce................

[Red Badger]

Juries are not swayed so easily when the defendant is of the monied class.............

[CharlesWayneCT]

She probably thinks she’s doing Obama a favor, helping to cut the deficit by lowering our medicare costs.

[Redleg Duke]

Does New York have a death penalty?

This is a perfect example of where it should be used.

[Dallas59]

Unable to accept reality...Story of our youth today.

[sockmonkey]

Model?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

The perp.

[Frantzie]

Obama wants to treat America’s elderly the same way so what’s the problem?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

The crime scene.

[Frantzie]

Model? Want to look hot in her mugshot? FAIL.

[Frantzie]

“She probably thinks she’s doing Obama a favor, helping to cut the deficit by lowering our medicare costs.”

ObamaCare on Wheels.

[agere_contra]

Obama wants to treat America’s elderly the same way so what’s the problem?

Good point. In a few years time she'll basically have been practicing medicine without a license.

[rightly_dividing]

Her passenger and boss, Brian Steele Jr. -- who appeared to be oblivious to the carnage -- bellowed at her that she wrecked his car two weeks ago and lamented that "he has to pay for this now."

Her boss, Steele, was driving at first, but Gerdes demanded to take the wheel because he wasn't going fast enough, police said.

Some boss. He is a loser like her.

[Joann37]

Subsequent stories state that she is extremely remorseful and sorry for her actions.

[MsLady]

What sicko, if they let her out of prison, she’ll do it again.

[SouthTexas]

From the vid, “I was pressing the brake and it wouldn’t go”.

Funny looking Toyota.

[Mr. C]

Actually I was going to suggest something like that. Since this occurred in good old Liberal New York she’ll not do a day of time and at some point, I’ll bet, she’ll wind up on the cover of Playboy magazine.

[Red Badger]

Even if they do have a death penalty, unless it was premeditated murder, it would not apply. Manslaughter by auto in Florida is 15-25 years, IIRC............

[Red Badger]

Here in Florida, she would be middle aged by the time she got out..............

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What is this, the 1930’s?

We can only wish. Things were a lot better then.

[kabar]

Right, put her on Obama’s Death Panel as part of community service.

[reagan_fanatic]

[MsLady]

You see it every where today. The disrespect and narcissism is so high, it’s unbelievable.

[dfwgator]

Subsequent stories state that she is extremely remorseful and sorry for her actions.

Good. Fry her anyway.

[IYAS9YAS]

Subsequent stories state that she is extremely remorseful for being caught and sorry for allowing her actions to be caught on tape

Fixed it.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

There needs to be a national campaign for removing the warning labels and safety devices from every last hair dryer, toaster, radio and cup of hot coffee. Far too many idiots are making it to adulthood without removing themselves from the gene pool.

They are becoming a clear and present danger and have to be dealt with before they start running for any more public offices.

[TXBlair]

Subsequent stories state that she is extremely remorseful and sorry for her actions.

Yeah, she seems pretty sorry...that she got caught. One more crime to add to her rap sheet. Now she will be "inconvenienced" by yet another court date (or twelve). This narcissistic space cadet is a deadly menace, and she is surrounded by enablers. The boss/boyfriend sounds like a real winner. Not.

[MsLady]

She should get that much time at least. The very idea, well I’m glad she was old. Well, she could have lived a lot longer if she hadn’t been mowed down by some selfish little twit. This is the mind set about life, that abortion gives, IMHO.

[Touch Not the Cat]

.
My first thought as well.

[Clemenza]

LIdiot!

[Clemenza]

New York does not have capital punishment, and didn't execute folks when we had it in the early 70s and again in the 1990s.

If gang rapists/murderers didn't get the death penalty when we had it here in NY State, this woman would not have been executed anyway.

[ez]

It appears that it took several minutes for it to dawn on her that she was in REALLY BIG trouble now, and that she would likely spend the rest of her “modeling years” in prison.

[Bean Counter]

Unreal. Unfortunately, there are plenty of her peers out there who are every bit as bad if not worse.

[thecabal]

What is this, the 1930’s?

Actually, yes. We are replaying the 1930s.

[from occupied ga]

Maybe the victims relatives will have a different way of looking at Gerdes when they get a chance. I know if one of my relatives were killed by this walking bowl of anus parts I'd contemplate this view

[Above My Pay Grade]

She should do 25 years.

Her boss/bofriend (I’ve seen him reported as both) should be charged as well. He allowed an unlicensed driver, high on drugs to operate his vehicle (while he was in it, no less) and it lead to an innocent woman’s death.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It wasn'r her fault she was shoplifting, driving without a permit and stoned either! It was all an accident!

There is an alternate reality folks, this is glaring proof!

[Above My Pay Grade]

>>>She will probably not spend one day in prison. Her slick lawyer will convince the jury that it was the old lady’s fault for being on her lawn.<<<

Actually, Nassau County (where this happened) has been cracking down hard on DUI homicides. A few years back, a man was convicted of 2nd degree murder in a drunk driving crash that killed a limo driver and a young girl.

Of course, the DA there lets drug dealing thugs go free with a stern warning, but that is another story.

[Sloth]

"Because he wanted to [sleep with] her, he offered her a job," the elder Steele said.

LOL... nice bracket job, New York Post.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

She is only sorry she got caught! Will it ever occur to her that shoplifting started the chain of events?

Every act has consequences and some of those consequences can't be paid for by mommie and daddie.

[MinuteGal]

Maybe Paris Hilton will pick her as her Best Brutish Friend.

Leni

[Frantzie]

It seems this young lady could work for ObamaCare doing in-home medical care for the elderly.

[mowowie]

I bet she could use an Oxy or 2 right about now.
