The Latest: Woman bombed in bed feels for man arrested
Associated Press, via ABC News ^ | 12/21/2015 | Staff

The latest on a bombing at a northwest Louisiana horse farm (all times local):

5:20 p.m.

A north Louisiana woman whose bedroom was bombed says she's horrified by the action but feels sorry for the arrested man.

Tracy Hewlett owns Holly Hill Farm Equestrian Center with her husband. Their maintenance worker, Douglas Holley, faces charges in the Saturday blast. On Monday, Hewlett said Holley must be mentally ill, and she wishes he'd found help. Instead, Hewlett says, he's ruined his own life.

She says other employees have told them about odd things Hewlett says against the government and about witchcraft.

Hewlett described how the bomb launched her out of bed, her husband sailing over her.

But they, their three small dogs and their cat were unharmed - though there's shrapnel in the ceiling and dagger-like splinters all over the room.

Hewlett calls coming through without a scratch "our Christmas miracle."

Odds that she was involved with the perp and some ill feelings arose?

This is what’s wrong with America. This is like Eve feeling bad for the serpent — “poor Snakey, he has to crawl on his belly!” This accords with Point #8 of Frankfurt School’s Willi Munzernberg’s Agenda “to make the West stink”: 8. Inconsistent justice system with prejudice against victims of crimes. How would this woman feel if other people were bombed in their beds because she is a bleeding heart?

You know, when you are the victim, you get to decide whether you want to hold a grudge against the perp or not. That’s not “what’s wrong with America”.

She says other employees have told them about odd things Hewlett says against the government and about witchcraft.

Other than the bomb-throwing thing, I have no problem with saying 'odd things against the government and witchcraft'.

Yeah, I’m just the kind of Grinch that, when people expect me to let them out of the parking lot, I’m thinking of the people behind me whose freedom I’m taking away by stopping. I can’t ask them if I have their permission to stop them so I can be the great philanthropist letting the person out, I have to be like the government engaging in compulsory “philanthropy” by taking your taxes and “redistributing” them to other people who don’t work.

My first image as well, except that bottle would be white (Vodka) rather than brown.

Vodka is the fastest and cheapest way to get bombed. With beer, you have to get up too many times to empty your bladder.

Take your meds, man, you’re talking gibberish that has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

Is this another way of saying “schlonged”?

That was one of the oddest headlines I have read in a while.

Someone put my pets at risk, I wouldn’t be so forgiving.

Whatever it is, there is definitely much more to this story.

Different perspectives, man.
I have a serious problem with the government, mainly, or anyone else who needs to decide for me, and everyone else to volunteer my tax money, or time, or my possessions to dispense charity belonging to someone else; to feel like a hero for someone else.

Where are your meds?
