You're Jeff: Who Would You Save/Forgive?

The thing to remember is, it's not as simple as flipping a switch and then the person lives, or grabbing a key off a table and unlocking them. To save them, he had to rip a bit off of his face, burn the last physical things he has to remember his dead son by, and take a bullet. He has no obligation to do any of those things, and thus isn't "responsible" for the peoples' death even if he chooses not to do them.
Jigsaw, on the other hand, he had to actively kill. "Saving" him merely meant refraining from killing him. And since Jigsaw posed no imminent threat (and actually offered a way out - "I can have an ambulance here in four minutes"), to refrain from killing him IS an obligation.
I'm actually not sure which ones I would save and wouldn't save. But I could only really be called wrong for "not saving" Jigsaw. -

None of them should die, obviously. If a judge makes a mistake then he should be reprimanded not drowned in rotten pig mince. The same goes for the others, none of them set out to cause harm to anyone, excepting jigsaw and I wouldn't even kill him. I find the entire premise ridiculous even for a Saw movie.

I would have waited until Timothy's arms and legs were twisted, then I would have saved him. Then I would have choked him to death with my own bare hands.
I cannot understand how anyone could forgive someone who had killed their son whilst drink driving!!?!? Seriously, some people here would actually just pat him on the back and say, don't worry about it, thse things happen. Really??? A life for a life as far as I'm concerned
The Judge was only doing his job with the evidence he had, and the laws he has to follow? I don't agree 6 months is a fit sentence, but his hands were tired (no pun in 10 did!). I would have saved him.
The girl, she was probably scared and drove off. Her testimoney would not have changed things. I would have saved her.

I would try to save them all, of course. I wouldn't stand watching somebody die. I wouldn't even freakin' argue to spill time! That's why the freezing girl and the drunk couldn't be saved in time!!! Stupid Jeff.

I would save them all. It isn't my place to be their judge and jury- if I have the opportunity to save their life, I'm going to do my best to make sure they all walk out alive. The death of others won't bring back my son.

What is with all the hate with the first woman who just drove off? She did 100% nothing, other then freak out. People who think she would have died are sick in the head.
The judge What did he do wrong? Did he sentence the drunk driver lightly? Was there not enough evidence? Did he pick the weakest sentence possible or was his hands tied? Not enough information, but overall I felt he did nothing wrong and seemed like a good person.
The drunk driver. I would still have saved him (cause I am not a monster), but I felt he was easily 100x worse then the other two. It was his fault that the boy died. He decided to drink, he decided to drive while drunk, and he was unable to avoid killing the child.

I would have tried saving Danica and Timothy for sure. From the flashbacks, it was obvious Timothy was heartbroken that he killed the young boy. He remained at the scene, did not drive off, and faced the consequences. Although it was his fault for causing the accident, it wasn't his fault for the light sentence. Also, because Timothy remained at the scene, I don't think Danica's testimony would have meant much for the case. Without or without her testimony, Timothy still plead guilty or was found guilty of manslaughter. She also admitted to making a mistake while being tortured so I could most likely forgive her.
I have mixed feelings on the judge. A 6-month sentence is way too light for killing a young boy while driving drunk. It is true that no matter the sentence, Jeff would not get his son back, but a sentence of 6 months is simply kicking a man while he's down. I don't know how the judge could live with himself for such a light sentence. Unless Timothy plead guilty for a lesser crime, I don't think sentencing guidelines for vehicular manslaughter (a felony) is anything less than one year in prison. According to Michigan law when it comes to driving drunk and killing someone
"(4) A person, whether licensed or not, who operates a motor vehicle in violation of subsection (1), (3), or (8) and by the operation of that motor vehicle causes the death of another person is guilty of a crime as follows:
(a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and , the person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 15 years or a fine of not less than $2,500.00 or more than $10,000.00, or both. The judgment of sentence may impose the sanction permitted under section 625n. If the vehicle is not ordered forfeited under section 625n, the court shall order vehicle immobilization under section 904d in the judgment of sentence."

Whichever I'd choose, I wouldn't decide halfway through the trap once they were already pretty much f-cked either way.
I also wouldn't kill Jigsaw when my wife has a mysterious contraption around her throat and he's been trying to teach me the ugliness of vengeance for two hours. In fact, if I knew anything about Jigsaw and his "appreciate life!" bs, I'd try to save everyone purely because I'd assume he has something awful waiting for me if I don't.
