You Know the Lorena Bobbitt Story. But Not All of It.

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.

I agree completely. Thank you for posting. FR has changed “a little” in many unpleasant ways: base prurient interest, indecency, cussing, and even racism and antisemitism. Let’s all work together to follow the lights of LORD-loving constitutional conservatism, and not kneel to pass wet doggie treats to the New York Times.

This is very relevant, as many here are calling Alexandria Ocasio-Whatever the New Lorena Bobbitt! Now younger readers will know why!

[AppyPappy]

Her lawyer will be defending the Radford University student who killed her roommate.

[miserare]

Really? I hadn’t heard about this.

"This is very relevant, as many here are calling Alexandria Ocasio-Whatever the New Lorena Bobbitt! Now younger readers will know why!"

I did not know that.

The underlying theory of the "Hot/Crazy Matrix" indicates that Hair Dressers are largely suspect. Maybe ignorant BU Economics Majors working as bartenders fall into the same category.....

[DaxtonBrown]

even better than her story is that of Jack Gordon, John’s soon to be manager and husband of LaToya Jackson. Mafia stuff, ties to Harry Reid.

[miserare]

Hahaha...

"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."

FR has long had a "Chat" Category.....

[miserare]

Oh, gosh...I can’t keep up anymore since my National Enquirer subscription ran out ten years ago!

No shortage of fun facts there....

The Hairy Reed of Searchlight bordellos is Mafia Material?

[Paladin2]

I was unaware of that crime.

"A Culpeper County woman attending Radford University is under arrest after her roommate was found stabbed to death in an apartment off campus."

"Police say 21-year-old Luisa Cutting of Jeffersonton is charged with second-degree murder in Cannon's death."

Ya just can't make some of this stuff up....

No, her being a privileged, psychotic Muslim Turk doesn't plug into the Hot/Crazy Matrix at all. Anywhere. Invalid Parameter Error. They'd have to create a whole new 3-D wireframe for that one. And probably develop a whole new form of mathematics in the process. When we were just shacking up, she was pretty even-keeled. But once she got that gold band on my finger, she'd be swinging from the chandeliers one moment, then baring her fangs and rattling her tail the next. I'm lucky I escaped that one with Big Al and The Boys still attached and not in a jar on the shelf.

There must be a built-in programming error in my logic compiler. Every last live-in I ever had needed their emotional vacuum tubes replaced. This current one is the exception - we've been together twenty years now. Unless she croaks first, I've done my time. I've got enough domestic fruit salad on my uniform jacket to qualify for a burial at Arlington. *chuckle*

a young immigrant who endured years of domestic violence, was raped by her husband that night, had nowhere to go

We've only heard the "boo." This is the "hoo." Or more accurately, the "hooey."

[wardaddy]

So says Amy Chozick.....should I venture about Ms Chozick....
Is she Dworkinesque...

We have a few freeper women who likely have Lorena Bobbitt posters on the wall..lol

"Andrea Dworkin"

A bit of "gravitas" there...

I was happy in my ignorance before your post.....

[Paladin2]

[AppyPappy]

Stabbed her 30 times. Left the knife sticking in her mouth.

[wardaddy]

She’s a sight better than the USS Andrea Dworkin

[tuffydoodle]

Oh heaven’s no, I didn’t right that. Someone wrote it at the time of the de-dicking that John got. I just remembered it because it’s so dang funny.

[tuffydoodle]

That’s my favorite part, too.
