Good catch. This female isn’t remorseful or chastened in the slightest - she’s only (briefly) alarmed about the reaction she received at her nasty behavior.

3,2,1 before that alarm turns to ugly indignation.

Yes, mobs morph over time in appearance but underneath it’s still a mob. Unrecognizable to those that are in it but clearly a mob for those on the outside. We do seem to be entering a new mob phase with social media.

Didn't work though did it?

I disagree. The root of everything that went on started with the Trump shirt. People have died over mobs created by such an innocent action such as putting on a t-shirt, not realizing that this could be construed as a mortal slight.

Wonderful post.

Well thought out, well articulated.

A book about NAZI low and mid-level officials, interviewed right after WWII, said exactly the same thing.

To them, it was the best time in their entire life.

The book is titled “They Thought They were Free”.

And David Bowie?
He could have played the Star Spangled Banner ala Hendrix,
but it would not have fit his
‘brand’ back then.

The only way to make the other side look bad by their own deeds is NOT TO DO THE SAME DEEDS. Gee whiz......It is time to give it right back to them. DOUBLE.

This reads like NPR reported it. She’s not the victim. Imagine that a Mother Bear who drove the kids there had been observing this and put this women on the ground with one punch. This kind of behavior is going to earn a violent or fatal response sooner or later.

I’m glad to hear of her troubles. Spare me the crap about how she’s a “victim”. She brought it on herself.

And she did not have the sense to lay low and shut up. She seems the type that is used to being special because of her build and looks, not realizing that this is the reason she has been treated special. Sort of a cheerleader complex.

We've all seen her type in bars, clubs, restaurants etc. Hot witch who won't shut up and no one wants to tell her to, men because she's hot and women because they know that they are the ones that will be called a derogatory name (female dog) if they challenge her.

Happy to help. It was clear about 10% into the article that it had a ‘bent’ to it, but I was curious enough to read the whole thing:

“Victim Kelly Burke Wronged by Teen’s Parents and Bullying Public”

Houston didn’t lose its mind.

A brainless twit lost her mind and abused an innocent teenage girl and now wants sympathy for the deserved blowback.

Twit.
