She was a poor little rich girl -- i.e. a bored leftist Karen type -- who wanted to play at being a bad-ass of a social justice warrior on the firing line to have something to brag about on the cocktail and cocaine leftist circuit that she forgot WHY it's called the 'firing line'.
No one would have cared had she slipped on a banana peel and died off camera. She only matters to the left for sound bites and talking points. In reality she was human trash that wasted a life, no different than a common street junkie.
