So preventable, so tragic, a senseless loss of life. To the family of the deceased, my sincere condolences. This will undoubtedly be one of your worst days. I'm so sorry. And to the family of the driver, my condolences to you too. Your relative is going to have many unpleasant years dealing with the results of his drunken behavior. I hope he can pull himself together, and try and make something positive come from this horrific mistake. He is going to be hated, for a very long time.

And you think that is all that's needed to make a person stop? Pretty naive of you. If all it took was a concerned mom, this world would have a lot less addicts, don't cha think?? I have no idea if Whitney's mom is a narcissist, and neither do you. But what I didn't read was her mother saying that Whitney should be a role model. Those are words you made up to preach your tidy little sermon. She said she was proud of her daughter, which has a very different meaning, and I'm pretty sure she is proud of her for reasons OTHER than drug use.

Whitney's gone, being anything other than proud at this point, is senseless. Another tragic loss thanks to addiction. May her mom get the closure she needs, and have many treasured memories of her little girl.

It does however, sound a tiny bit like you are blaming the victim. She may have been clean and sober, there trying to help a friend, who knows? She's gone now, and questioning her program of recovery seems insensitive. That's probably not what you meant, but it does come off that way.

Do we get to use our addictions as reasons to murder people these days? I certainly hope not. His family, in my opinion, needs to shut up and sit down, be the quiet support for him, and not be offering public EXCUSES for his heinous behavior. No one wants to hear the lame reasons for his murderous rampage, it really doesn't even matter. Let the girls family speak out, they are the only ones who deserve to talk now.

This woman is a mooch of the highest degree, and clearly must have some special talents for conning people. She needs a tattoo on her forehead stating that she is a liar, murderer and thief. That might slow her down a bit.

She deserves it as much as he does. I bet they are both interested in contacting their children, in hopes of threatening them not to talk and reveal the TRUTH about the horrors of the parents actions. Its unspeakable what sweet Hana endured, but with help the other children can hopefully be saved, and be shown what a loving family is really like. I want to fast forward to the part where the parents go to prison.

Just because you aren't a fan of women bashing vulgarity doesn't mean you have to be a fan of simpering idiots like the K clan.

I don't know what the "new and improved" Howard has in store... maybe he HAS changed. I guess we'll see.

All the comments about her having her wrist slapped are ridiculous. No one with those charges would be doing any time at all. People fail to recognize that this kid is only 25, with no parental guidance and way too much money and fame. Its a recipe for failure. However, she can still work out these addiction issues and have a good life.

I feel sorry for the kids! I can't imagine a life totally obsessed with being in the spotlight and on TV. Must be an empty existence.

What a crock! It doesn't matter what attorney files his appeal, its not going to help him. I have a hard time believing that he is unable to liquidate some assets to provide his defense, but then again, after hearing how he practiced medicine, he could be stupid about money too.

Since when do protesters expect to be welcomed??? Maybe if they protested during the day and went home at night instead of making a college campus filthy and unsafe for students, they would be welcome a bit longer. Being part of the 99%, I get the issues. However, I'm not hearing any solutions from the protesters, just complaining.

I watched for a half hour and was appalled by the fake-ness of it all, the forced drama, and the highly irritating hosts. Its american idol with soap opera actors and a completely fabricated outcome designed for a Jerry Springer type effect. I hope it gets cancelled quickly.

Anyone can be jumped from behind. There is absolutely nothing in the report that indicated this woman was less than alert. You realize that its not uncommon to have people behind you on a city street? A pacifist?? Thats rich. She did exactly what the police recommend, which is promptly surrender your valuables and don't resist. Its a phone, its not worth losing your life over.

Both are valid in my opinion. First, the doctors doing this microsurgery get good at it by practicing. Where do you think that experience comes from? Teaching hospitals like Harborview. If your arm gets hacked off, don't you want the doctor repairing you to have done it a time or two?? The second reason is mainly ethics. You don't follow the directives of someone clearly incompetent. Not trying to reattach the arm solely because of the ravings of a mad man, would be unethical, and probably grounds for a lawsuit later. Sad but true.

Additionally, some doctors (residents) at Harborview got some valuable experience trying to put the arm back on. Thats how they learn.
