This is a strange looking photograph of a 19-year-old girl, if you ask me.

That's 'cause yur looking at the wrong end!

Richard Gere has to be part of this story somewhere.

What a moronic comment, you equate killing a freakin rodent with that of those who would blow up and kill human beings?

No sir, certainly not. There was no such equivalence intended on my part and I sincerely regret any offense you perceived. What, if anything, must I have to do to patch things up with you, Las Vegas Ron, on this matter?

The sadism of this "Monique" Smith is what I found to be of interest and what was the impetus for my response in this thread:

"Police said it was then that [Monique] Smith grabbed Sweetie [the hamster] and slammed it to the ground. She then "attempted to pull the hamster's whiskers out and then crushed the hamster with her hand" in front of three of her younger siblings, court records show."

Go back to DU "nortex"

I have no interest whatsoever in that vile website and my only dealings with it come from the occasional DUmmie threads here on FR.

LOL...in the end, probably!

When that tsunami of insanity seems about to overtake you, please head for Idaho.

I keep expecting this story to turn out to be from The Onion, but it’s sadly not.

I'm afraid you lost me there, Fred.

LOL - wow. I had ABSOLUTLY NO IDEA that the Amish were so dangerous!

Ron - the next time I'm in PA I will think twice before veering around a buggy.

The last thing I want is to be the victim of a gallop by shooting!

Teen accused of killing a hamster during a family feud

I think that is Richard Dawson, but I'm not sure.

[bigheadfred]

It’s too late????

I just see you are posting from the New York message board. And yes, I know New York is large. But Monique is a lot nearer to you than she is to me. Just sayin’.

[Hot Tabasco]

The Brooklyn teen accused of killing her brother's hamster was sprung from jail Friday

In other news, Richard Gere, when asked about his thoughts on this travesty of justice, could only say that he "was deeply saddened".........

No worries, if'n yur not a hampster!

[Las Vegas Ron]

DU is calling, get lost.

I wonder how many of her cellmates had killed their unborn babies. Of course, there is no jail time for that. /sarc

from the article: "It wasn't a body, it was a f-----g rat," she said. "They think a hamster is more important than an infant."

she appears to agree with you.
