I have so many thoughts on this, but this seems to be the most important:
"The 13 prior crashes should have alerted (suspect) to the dangers of reckless driving" -- NO. It should have alerted a competent society that she didn't deserve a fucking driver's license ever again.
It's a scam because they force you to buy it, yes, and because they make it prohibitively hard in many states to provide other methods of financial responsibility. You basically have to be a car dealer or run a limo service, here.
It's also heavily regulated, FWIW, which provides barriers to entry.
My first real job was for my state’s “assigned risk pool”. I won’t name my state here for privacy reasons, but many states have this concept.
The idea is, if you have such an awful driving record that NOBODY will volunteer to write you a policy, you go through the assigned risk pool. The pool “randomly” assigns you to an insurance company, which has to take you. The insurance company writes you a liability only policy, in theory at a substantially higher rate than you’d get if you didn’t have such a lousy record.
In practice, since liability is mandatory if you want to drive, and public transportation stinks, there was a lot of political pressure to keep rates down. If memory serves (this was 15+ years ago) there was a cap: no matter how many accidents, DWI convictions, or tickets you had, they could only charge you a certain amount over market.
People are so dumb. I don't even think they know what a DA is, much less what their stance on crime is. They just check that "D" box for virtue signaling or to fuck over the white man.
There exists a number of at-fault accidents you can have before I say you should simply be barred from ever accessing it again. That number is 0. Any higher, and consequences are needed. Think about every other license out there. Go out and shoot someone? That gun license is going bye-bye forever. Kill an endangered species? Probably losing that hunting license.
There exists a number of not-at-fault accidents you can have before I say you should be barred, too. Because even if you're not officially at fault, chances are you're a contributing factor if you're so far above the norm.

This. How do you still have a license after 13 crashes? And how do you have insurance after 13 crashes (or was she driving without insurance)?
licenses and insurance are both government scams

She was a “traveling”nurse in the LA area. Probably making like $200K
I'd think an insurance agent would look at "when, not if" and nope right the hell out of even offering a policy at any price.

I'll add that to my list of things government screws up. Thanks.
She should have been in jail a long time ago tbh. She still probably drove without a license.
But because society doesn't actually solve problems, just pretends to, innocent people are dead.
As far as I'm concerned, hang the dumb bitch and solve the problem permanently.
No. She is of the sacred skin color that absolves all personal responsibility. How could she have possibly known not to do that?
It's like that Dave Chappelle joke about Chip but in reverse.
Oh and reminder: she's a nurse. I wonder how many patients she's killed.
Then lock up all of the blacks who are too stupid to function. Or send them back to Africa. The second one is better imo.
Of course it’s some ugly Shaniqua.
Gascon decided to prosecute someone? He must be looking towards re-election.
There is a recall petition against him, that I believe is in the process of being certified.

Oh that fucker ... yea ... she'll get probation.

Time to ban assault vehicles
Am I allowed self defense if I suspect someone is driving an assault vehicle?
How cosmically unfair that she has survived her six-fatality crash.
How cosmically ridiculous that someone involved in 13 prior accidents wasn't already in fucking jail.
And the deaths are so fucking young, too. God damn.

She’s a Nurse!!! It’s like charging an American hero who saved countless lives just cause she can’t drive straight.
