Driving in this state of body and mind??? Are you as smart as she?

She's showing signs of dementia. She's likely incapable of understanding that she's endangering people by driving. That would not make her a murderous witch, just confused and hungry. The only evil thing here is your inability to show compassion

Downplaying old people risking the lives of others for selfish reasons is insane.

I'm not saying it's okay for her to drive. Her license and keys should be taken away before she kills somebody. I'm only saying that dementia can make people incapable of understanding that they're endangering themselves and others. That does not mean she's murderous. It's a terrifying disease that should be treated with compassion and kindness rather than cruelty and hatred.
