Should I feel Guilty?

Postby redfire » Thu May 08, 2008 9:41 pm

I was talking to someone online, and I had difficulty saying goodbye. Because I kept talking, she was late for work and got hit by a car running to the bus. Her boyfriend calls me a murderer. Am I a murderer?

Still, is the law on my side or against it?

Her boyfriend just keeps calling me a murderer. I didn't tell her to run into the street, I said it was an accident but its to no avail.

I didn't know the boyfriend really. I knew the girl somewhat and we spoke, we weren't that close.

Seeing how I'm Dutch, I don't have ANY clue about what is in the American law.

But I will say this:
It was her own choice to stay and chat with you. She could also, if she really felt she needed to go, log off and explain it to you later. Instead, she kept chatting resulting in having to sprint to the bus in order to be on time. While doing so, she got hit by another vehicle. This then resulted in her death. Her own choices caused her death, not your actions.

It might sound a little harsh, and that is totally not what I'm trying to be here, but it is the truth. Or does any of you think I'm wrong? If so, please explain.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

I agree with Chucklemagne. There was nothing intentional about it and if you where talking and not in person then there is nothing you could have done to prevent it. It's unfortunate that things like this happen and when you lose someone you care about deeply it can cause you to act in irrational ways. Her boyfriend is upset and angry and to deal he is targeting something to focus his emotions on. The best thing is to try to stay out of his way. Your not at fault here, it's just unfortunate that you had been involved. If she'd be later for another reason there is no telling that the circumstances would have been any different.

It's just a shame that she lost her life.

Please take care

*hugs*
