Best summarized by the defense:

"A psychologist called by the defense described Couch as a product of 'affluenza.' He reportedly testified the teen's family felt wealth
bought privilege."

...and it does, it sure does.

Too much swine affluenza going around.

The facility should be hand picked and staffed by the families of the four victims.

I knew a guy once who didn't suffer from 'affluenza', he just fell prey to the widespread belief among teen agers that nothing bad can happen to them.

He drank. He drove. He flipped his car.

The scar on his face provides a reminder every time he looks in a mirror that his best friend died in the crash.

Do you think the six year sentence he got as punishment is really necessary?

This right here sums up what's wrong with the youth of 2013.

Why don't they just turn around and charge the kid with vehicular homicide and put him on death row? Then they should throw both parents in jail for life for being jackasses.

I have absolutely no hope for this race as a whole. I WISH that something from outer space would slam into this planet and destroy it.
