Having not heard the story, I wouldn’t call him a shitty dad. If he didn’t know she was under there it was an accident, I can’t imagine the pain of accidentally killing your daughter
When you drive through obstacles you can’t see through, you’re stupid.
Don’t do stupid things.
If you’re stupid enough to do things like that, it makes you the shitty kind of stupid because you don’t have the good sense to say “Hmn this vehicle is several thousand pounds of steel, and I can’t see what’s under or behind that leaf pile, I should probably not blast through it.”
I’m sure he felt awful and I wouldn’t wish that kind of pain and guilt on ANYONE. Which is why we need to condemn stupidity so people don’t get a social pass for avoiding getting smarter their entire lives. When we give social consequence for being dumb, it forces people to be smarter and fewer disasters like this happen.
You’re not born stupid, you just learn what you can get away with. You can make yourself more aware and smart with effort, but if we shrug and walk away from everyone who does something stupid, that pressure to get better starts to wane and people learn they can live life stupid without consequence.
I used to be more compassionate but I’ve since seen stupidity turn into a goddamn movement.
Not the first shitty dad to kill their child and definitely not the last.
