her “little standoff” was over her home.
I see we have a few here having a dry chuckle at the misfortunes of a person who is living on the lower end of the eccononmy however this has to be seen from her perspective.
She need to move her home and that was all the money she could afford to pay.
She did not ask for public assistance. Something we here on freerepublic.com seem to applaud.
It strikes me that the “can’t be done” analysis is the same limited problem solving that occures when some computer tech can’t figure out a problem and just says “blame windows, reinstall and erase all yer data.”
I am simply stating the WHY she was so tenacious. It was her home, it was her castle, even if it is only a low life trailer in the eyes of those posting here.
We have no idea how much she could or could not afford to pay.
We do know that she chose to pay a knucklehead to move her home without even checking to see if he was insured.
That was, to put it mildly, unwise.
She inconvenienced hundreds of people - many of whom were likely themselves in straitened economic circumstances and who needed to get to work in order to pay their mortgages and feed their families.
Her very unintelligent decision cost them money, money which many of them could probably ill afford to spare.

The analysis was done by a professional towing company whose employees probably do this (move trailers) all the time.
They gave up on it as a lost cause.
If anybody would know what couldn't be done in the sphere of trailer-hauling, it would probably be them.
What is certain is that the method she chose ended in a complete fail in all of 1.5 miles.

Indeed. Which is why her utter carelessness with it is all the more amazing.
However, the question lingers: where was she living before this automobile accident windfall?
I agree with your comments. I am sad for this lady, losing her house, and it’s disgusting watching Freepers dancing with joy and condemnation over this.
Something tells me Jesus Christ wouldn’t have chortled and mocked her as they’re doing...

Alot of people have no clue how the poor live.
It is a funny story though the way it is written. The sheriff is responsible for damages. He is the one who had it destroyed.
Exactly...this woman apparently didn’t have a pot to piss in. Let’s see how many chucklers rush in and help her.
