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.

Far too little info to form a reasonable opinion on what happened or on culpability.

She’s probably thinking that Daddy will hire a high priced lawyer and take care of all this so she can get back to the party.

I never trust the media, particularly local TV news. Local TV deals only in emotion, and seem to draw straight from the bottom of the barrel in terms of journalistic talent and objectivity.

I suspect a little bit more occurred than “he asked her to move her porsche.”

Another crazy woman. They seem to be getting more aggressive (on the road especially - still lousy drivers) and crazy, spurred on by the idiotic “women’s movement”.

America’s descent into leftist barbarity correlates with the advent of woman’s suffrage.

“I shot a man in Nashville, just to watch him die”

-Doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Everyone’s a music critic until they get shot in the guts.

I know.

But I actually belonged to the musicians Union.

We had this in our contract.

“Subsection L: The musicians have the right to gut shoot anyone complaining about their music.”

All nice and legal like.

I watched a client of my customer angle park on a downtown St. Pete street. She was elegantly dressed and driving a BMW. A homeless man confronted her as she attempted to reach the store and demanded money. She politely said no. He leaned his head back, placed a finger against one nostril and shot snot on her. She didn’t even wipe it off. She got back in her car and drove away. I told my customer that he’s probably lost her as a customer. He agreed. The homeless were demanding money from the shop keepers to leave their customers alone. Finally, the police got very aggressive and ended the problem. Today, that depressed area is totally recovered with every building full of shops. It’s amazing. But the key ingredient was getting the homeless under control.

Hey T-Bone-—

It’s been a century since women got the vote. The only issue women voters votes for more-or-less as a bloc, was Prohibition.

A lousy idea, but not much of a record for what you would supposedly “correlate” to a century of leftism...

Please keep in mind that the majority (53%) of white women voters turned thumbs down on Hillary Clinton. The “women’s movement” was a 3 million woman march to the polls to vote for Trump.

26, Porsche SUV? Yeah, I’d want to see the toxicology report on this one. White privilege.
