Woman Shoots Homeless Man

Post by skb12172 »

For asking her to move her car so he could sleep. Her father's bullshit cover story about the shots being a warning that accidentally hit the homeless guy doesn't exactly help her case.

I hope she enjoys prison. I also suspect that the Porsche will be his by the time this is over

This is the one where the homeless guy asked her to move the car.

What in the actual fuck?

Link posted above. Her actions sound indefensible, but the media is doing its best to stir class hatred. In every story she is described as a "Porsche driving woman."

I am surprised at all the hate. Who among us hasn't shot some dude for asking us to move our Porsche. That could be you the media is attacking next time.

She was apparently on edge and looking for a fight. Human version of fear biting? Or she's an indulged brat with impulse control and anger management issues, if any of the stories about her past brushes with the law are to be believed.

I've only been to Nashville once, and I found it creepy in the middle of the day. The place was covered in idle ne'er-do-wells with predatory eyes, eyeing the tourists. At 3am? Forget about it.

If I *had* to be there at 3am, I might have offered the guy 10 bucks to keep an eye on the car.

What she is driving is irrelevant. What she did was bad enough, yet the narrative must be maintained. Stir that class envy pot, media.

After reading about her father's attempts to help her case, Just another All American Family,

Kinda reminds of former Texas Governor Anne Richards bragging about always carrying her little pearl handled .32 in her purse while insisting Texans would prove to be irresponsible if allowed to carry weapons on their persons, I think maybe she may have fallen back off the wagon then.

And then came Bush.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said neither Quackenbush nor the woman riding in her car initially reported the incident to police.
Regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) in this case, it could be another data point supporting the "he who calls 911 first wins" theory

A) Its why you don't talk to press or police without counsel.

B) The deceased had several prior arrests for assaulting women, so her fear that he was a threat, seems justified.
