A 26-year-old woman has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting a homeless man who asked her to move her Porsche so he could sleep.

...

The shooting occurred in the 900 block of 19th Avenue South near Music Row on Aug. 26, the Midtown Hills Police Precinct stated in a news release.

Investigators said 54-year-old Gerald Melton was trying to sleep on the sidewalk about 3 a.m. when exhaust fumes and loud music coming from a Porsche SUV began to disturb him.

...

After the two yelled at each other, Melton told police he walked back to where he was and attempted to go back to sleep.

...

The shooter got back into the Porsche and fled the scene following the shooting, Melton told police.

He was taken to the hospital with a critical wound to his stomach and remained hospitalized as of Monday, according to the Police Precinct.

Local TV deals only in emotion, and seem to draw straight from the bottom of the barrel in terms of journalistic talent and objectivity.

Exactly, and not at all different from the national level. Like a braying donkey trying to perk up the fearful ears of a nation of sheep.

“Please keep in mind that the majority (53%) of white women voters turned thumbs down on Hillary Clinton.”

FWIW, 54% of women voted for her rapist husband.

It’s true that the majority of women voters voted for the rapist Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996. I cringe at that, but in both of those contests, the gap was driven by nonwhite women, and seems more related to so-called “race” than so-called “gender”.

I’m not saying allowing women to vote has resulted in an obvious downward trend in our culture, but the emancipation of the female from social controls has resulted in the decimation of our culture, as females are the gatekeepers of civilization, even if they don’t know that.

The left devalued women and then offered a supposed solution to that devaluation that they themselves created. It’s called feminism, and it is, simply put, just one more weapon used to destroy The West.

The irony is that women are biggest losers in all this. They have been told creating and having a family is a bad thing that handicaps them. We know now that this is simply not true.

So, is this the full story? Was she threatened and shot him in self-defense? Yep, need more details. Not helpful about the time, the circumstances, and that she drove away. Bet she’s looking for a high priced attorney today.

She should have driven away. No sane person would leave their vehicle parked there to get keyed and tires slashed.
