In this video, I react to Steve Shirilla's interview on True Crime This Week. If Steve's goal was to set the record straight and improve his brand/reputation .... this really did not help.

He isn’t trying to be a jerk, he just is a jerk.

@CraftyNana-i2t 3 months ago

There is absolutely no remorse for the two lives his daughter killed.

@Jin_Gr 3 months ago

Downplaying his daughters culpability. Up playing the boyfriends responsibility for his own death very clearly. Just disgusting....

@jessicalove4089 3 months ago

They lack remorse. They are not sad. They do not feel bad. They cheered her on as she ran wild with no consequences.

@kathykaehler7304 3 months ago (edited)

He is a perfect example of a parent trying to be a "cool" parent, instead of actually parenting his child. Not teaching them that their actions have consequences, he and his wife are insufferable and culpable for this tragedy.

@gloriabos2381 3 months ago (edited)

Every time the Shirilla parents speak of this tragedy, they provide proof of the lack of remorse for the victims and their families. Their lack of parenting, contributed to MacKenzie becoming a killer. He explains away every bad decisions he made as a parent.

Steve's not "trying to be a jerk" - he IS a jerk.

Trainwreck of a trio. It's awful, yet can't look away 😭
Wishing Dom's and Davion's loved ones peace and strength. 🕊️

Even a regular school would object to a teacher being fine with illegal drug use - let alone a Catholic school!

four seconds at 100 mph is a long time. This family is sick.

@vickirobinette1452 3 months ago

Mom and Dad Shirilla should be sitting behind bars along side their daughter.

@holliejones9500 3 months ago

I'm genuinely confused by Steve Shirilla. How can anyone be this delusional??😮

@bcoull290 3 months ago

It’s sad that his parents are singing her praises while she is in prison getting written up with over 30 infractions. That girl is not getting out anytime soon.

@maibanshigoto6723 3 months ago

Defending his daughter to the point where he blames the deceased victims... There's definitely something vile about those text messages between the two of them

@linneacapps4427 3 months ago

He strikes me as being completely, utterly, and unbelievably disconnected from the impact of his daughter's choices on the families of the dead boys, nor of the role his crappy parenting has had on the quality/maturity of the choices his child made and has been making during her teen years. What a shame.

@momluvswho2078 3 months ago (edited)

He and his wife are full of crap...they have spoiled, enabled, and made excuses for horrible behavior. Their daughter is where she deserves and needs to be. It's a shame they can't get a few years each. P.S. I love your videos

@Sharonc2010 3 months ago

That he's not even willing to admit that she was driving in a reckless manner that caused the deaths of two people is just inexcusable to me. These parents do not want their child to be responsible for ANY part of the deaths or the crash. So they are fighting tooth and nail to change the narrative that somehow she passed out from a medical emergency that caused her to floor the gas pedal and keep her foot down, while navigating the winding road at almost 100 mph which caused the car to crash, because she was unconscious the whole time after she turned onto the road. Ridiculous.

@DianaGoodwin-q3v 3 months ago

Her parents are absolutely horrible and responsible for their daughter. She was the golden child that could do no wrong. But, what makes it even worse is how their other daughter is the scape goat child. Makenzie could do anything with NO consequences. But mom was on a jail house call with Makenzie making fun of her sister Danielle, and that they took her bed away because she was hiding food under her bed. MAJOR RED FLAGS! Makenzie’s makes fun of her being autistic. And gross!

@AllisonOfTheFabFive 3 months ago

Dom didn’t have a job? That’s a bold criticism coming from someone who doesn’t have one either. This guy couldn’t buy a clue with exact change.

@artphotognh 3 months ago

They would have lost the PR war if the only thing we knew was Mackenzie's mother calling the victim's family "evil people" for not believing Mackenzie was totally innocent.
