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.

Didn't think there was much of it left.

There are some FLeepers that want to destroy the credibility of Jim Robinson and his FreeRepublic and turn it into a cheap imitation of the gossip rag. I am surprised that Jim puts up with it, to be frank.

There are stories that get posted here that have no newsworthiness whatsoever and tend toward the salacious, just to shock decent people. I don’t encourage my granddaughter to read this site. These people seem to think that NSFW trash is their calling.

Thanks, I’ve missed much of pop culture over the last 3 or 4 decades...

The rest of the story... Lorena Bobbitt was driving into DC on Route 66 and she had a car accident... Some dick cut her off.

Even better, she should have left.

My brother was married to a psycho and one night after an argument he was sleeping and SPLASH, the wife dumped a pan of cold water over his lower parts. . .she said next time it would be boiling water.

Not funny and he left right away.

Also, imagine the story slant if it was the guy that sliced her breast. . .oh boy, there would be no jokes whatsoever, but there would be calls for his murder and no people would be saying he should have fed the breast to some dogs.

Doubtful you’ll ever understand that because someone posts differently than you would doesn’t make that person a fool.

Invoking tenure, so weak.

Was it near the Slauson Cut-Off?

Right. . .forced her. The door isn’t locked and she could leave at any time.

Too bad she wasn’t married to Bubba Clinton.

The language used here is in the gutter now. . .before if profanity was called for, it simply wasn’t used, and if used, self-editing through the use of “*” and “#” and such was used to mask the word.

We are not DU.

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

What did Mary Jo Buttafuoco do to make her a bottom dweller other than get shot by Joey's underage nutty lover?

She stayed married to a sociopath (her words).
