Dumbest thing I've heard in a long time

I read a comment in a news story and found the level of ignorance so appalling that I had to share.

Three young people, ages 21 to 23, were tragically killed in a car crash in Denver. They had been drinking and were speeding at around 100 MPH when they hit a pole, splitting the car in two.

The sister of the presumed driver was quoted in the Rocky Mountain News: "The thing that really makes me feel much better about this is they died doing what they loved to do — they were drinking, they were going fast and they were together. It gives me comfort, it does, to know those three things."

Did I miss a memo? At some point, did unquestioning acceptance of aberrant behavior supplant love and concern as the primary expectation of family members?
