Um, okay. So teenager who murdered boyfriend in a hundred mile per hour crash had a toxic
00:00:06.720
relationship with him. The prosecutor said Mackenzie Shrilla, a 19 year old from Ohio
00:00:11.920
was found guilty of 12 counts, including four counts of murder for intentionally crashing her
00:00:16.680
car at a hundred miles per hour in July of 2022, resulting in the death of her boyfriend,
00:00:22.380
Dominic Russo and his friend, Davion Flanagan. Prosecutors argued that Shrilla had a toxic
00:00:28.520
and tumultuous relationship with Russo, including violent threats. And she deliberately crashed the
00:00:33.940
car to end their relationship. During the trial, security video of the crash was presented as
00:00:38.660
evidence. The judge strongly condemned Shrilla's actions, characterizing the crash as methodical,
00:00:44.540
deliberate and intentional and purposeful. The judge stated that this was not reckless driving,
00:00:50.200
but an act of murder, emphasizing that the deliberate nature of the crash and its devastating
00:00:55.540
consequences. Some key quotes and details from the case include her actions were controlled,
00:01:01.620
methodical, deliberate, intentional, and purposeful. This was not reckless driving. This was murder
00:01:07.100
said the County common, please judge Nancy Margaret Russo. She had a mission and she executed it with
00:01:16.000
precision. The mission was death. Judge Russo added Shrilla's father expressed a desire not to see
00:01:23.540
Shrilla's life ruined and called her actions a damn stupid thing. Incidents highlighted in the trial
00:01:29.760
included Shrilla's threats to crash the car in the weeks leading up to the fatal crash and videos
00:01:35.080
from Russo's cell phone capturing vertebral abuse and threats from Shrilla. Shrilla had posted on
00:01:41.740
social media expressing her grief over Russo's death and remorse for her actions with statements like,
00:01:48.020
I miss you, Nug. I wish you were just going to walk through the door any second. Please wait for me.

So women are much more violent and much more calculated than we give them credit for.
00:02:01.020
And I think one archetype that I see in society is the enabling father. And this is the father that
00:02:09.720
constantly babies and caters to his daughter. He puts his daughter on a pedestal as a princess that
00:02:17.100
can do no wrong. To the point where you have a dad referring to murder as a damn stupid thing.
00:02:24.560
However, typically these dads, if they had a son that did the same thing and killed a load of women,
00:02:31.840
they would have a lot less empathy for them. And realize that when you commit a crime,
00:02:37.720
you have to do the time. But women are so used to being bailed out of their bad decisions. And for a
00:02:42.860
lot of women, it starts at birth. It starts at birth when their parents treat them differently
00:02:47.900
than the boys in the family. And really, we have such a gynocentric social order that we say to
00:02:54.580
young women, you are so special and amazing and awesome all the time, even if you've done nothing
00:02:59.980
to deserve it. And enabling fathers lead to bratty daughters. That is why you have the children throwing
00:03:06.600
temper tantrums. That is why you have the children doing things like this because they have a lack
