Montag mentions to Beatty that the “girl next door" was killed. Beatty sees this as normal and that Clarisse's family was odd.
“…She was a time bomb. The family had been feeding her subconscious .... She didn't want to know how a thing was done, but why. … You ask Why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed, if you keep at it. The poor girl's better off dead." (Part 1)
Beatty does not consider a bunch of kids running over a girl like Clarisse to be tragic at all.
