You Know the Lorena Bobbitt Story. But Not All of It.
Slimes ^ | Jan. 30, 2019 | By Amy Chozick

MANASSAS, Va. — Lorena is very matter-of-fact about the whole thing. There, she said as she drove us around in her Kia on a recent afternoon, was the hospital where surgeons reattached John Wayne Bobbitt’s penis after she cut it off with a kitchen knife as he slept on the night of June 23, 1993.

Fifteen minutes away, near Maplewood Drive, was the gravel-strewn field where she disposed of the detached penis out the driver’s side window. So, why did she throw it away? I asked. “I tried to drive the car, obviously, but I had this thing in my hand so I couldn’t drive so I got rid of it.” Obviously.

Further down the road is the nail salon where she worked and fled to that night. “I’m not a vindictive person because I told them where it was,” Lorena Gallo, as she is now known, said. By “them” she means the police who, sometime after 4:30 a.m., clutched their loins and went digging through the overgrown roadside grass for the missing member. They found it, put it on ice in a Big Bite hot dog box from a nearby 7-Eleven and rushed it to the hospital where in a nine-and-a-half-hour feat of urological and plastic surgery it was reattached and restored to (almost) full function.

These are the details everyone knows and the ones Lorena recites with the stoicism of the waiter at the Tortino Mare Italian restaurant who hours earlier had relayed the specials for us. It’s the actual story, she said — the one about a young immigrant who endured years of domestic violence, was raped by her husband that night, had nowhere to go and finally snapped — that she wanted to talk to me about.

Even though the “War of the Bobbitts,” as People magazine called it, happened two years after Anita Hill inserted sexual harassment into the conversation ...

Let's stay focused on the real outrage here, a BLACK CONSERVATIVE Supreme Court Justice.

The abbreviated version:

Man assaults wife with his penis
Wife assaults man’s penis with a knife
Both are found not guilty

I imagine it took her a looooong time to find a date after that. :)

She was altogether too nice about it. If he had repeatedly raped and abused her, why did she tell the cops where it was? Should have fed it to some dogs.

Have to love her for having the sheer gall to say that she’s not a vindictive person because she told them where she had thrown his penis after she cut it off. No honey, you are world famous vindictive.

The mention of Lorena Bobbitt made me think of Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco. Bottom dwellers, all.

Did you know she did the deed on or near the anniversary of her abortion that he forced her to have?

Perhaps after you’ve been here a year or so you’ve become familiar with the Moderator’s “No Thanks”.

Or just post similar garbage and you’ll find out rather quicker.

“Bobbit,” like “Lewinsky,” are now in the lexicon of a culture that has fallen into the gutter.
