The fiancee of Jennifer Wilbanks, the runaway bride, is on Hannity & Colmes tonight at 9 PM EDT. Also Zell Miller will be on. Tune in !
He used to live here. It's just an excuse for him to come back to visit.
#296..I can tell you are Southern, sir/ma'am....your apology accepted....and it was most gracious.
Speaking of crazy southern families, locally, there was a ranching family that had a terrible scandal. The guy who was married to the ranching heiress and ran the ranch found out the entire ranch would be left to her brother. Angry, he went into the f-in-law's very opulent office (picture the house from Giant) and shot him point blank in the chest, leaving him for dead. The old S.O.B., not to be outdone without getting in the last word, made his way through the house, and shot the son-in-law. When the women got home from church, both men were dead and the house a bloody mess. That's the stuff legend is made from in these parts.
I don't know.
This is serious now. The "proper southern lady" is more than surface, much more. It is at its core, the personae, a kind heart. Southern ladies, not the poseurs who act like it, are kind, understanding, infinitely wise and forgiving and don't cast stones. Mostly for fear of hitting relatives and loved friends.
Thank God for a voice of sanity.
I really can not believe this thread!
Many folks should be ashamed of themselves.
I live one mile from their house and within Duluth's city limits.
It is MY tax dollars that will go toward this.
I have sent an email to Chief Belcher and Danny Porter NOT...I repeat NOT to prosecute nor start a civil trial.
I predict this couple will have a gas telling their grandkids this story on their fiftieth anniversary.
It must be nice to be rich and powerful. Not only do you get tons of LEO officers involved almost immediately after you "disappear," but you get them making excuses for you and buying your first-class plane ticket and giving you FBI hats and teddy bears and goody bags! Absolutely sickening.
Gotcha!
You'd have appreciated my post a while ago about Jennifer having bought a ticket to Austin and saying, "Ya'll can go to hell. I'm going to Texas."
I am sorry that you saw your friend hurt by these things. I hope I didn't say anything mean. I think these two love each other and wish them well.
Goodnight!
hey wait,
i'm totally a dude. good golfer, gorgeous wife, convertible sports car.
chavaunist even..ha.
Actually, I see your response as the strange one...laugh about it at the 50th anniversary?!
Oh, Boondoggle eh? L0L
There ya' go. That's what I meant!
""I can't watch anymore.....it's sick ....just sick...they're making excuses for a 32 yr.old woman....""
They talked all around the topic but it was good cover (or snow job) for perhaps deflecting negative public opinion and avoiding possible prosecution. Hannity fell for it.
The fiance' said Jennifer is "a victim also"..Just great. Did Hannity ask, "a victim of what or who?" Of course not.
Sure funny the way Mason had to ask the Pastor for help in finding the correct words or in finishing his sentences for him. He didn't look like a puppet but maybe he is.
We had already gotten a heads up from Hannity's radio program today as he described how impressed we would all be with the interview and change our minds if we were complaining about this gal's actions. I admit I was suckered in. See, everyone really does make mistakes as the pastor, fiance', father, stepfather, police chief, DA, mayor, and talk show hosts have said.
Note to self - go with gut reaction and leave the TV off.
You and we do not deserve a damned thing from this woman.
And to compare her to Susan Smith, a murderess, is despicable.
See there, you *are* a Southern girl! Not only do you have one, you know that having one is a *big* deal.......LOL.
She got all those police in Albuquerque to feel sorry for her (at least the men).
I really think we need to not be mad. Our tax dollars weren't wasted. I imagine her father will pay for the manhunt in Georgia, and the New Mexico police already said they weren't going to prosecute.
Heck, if Hillary Clinton got to skate, who am I to get made at Jennifer? If nothing else, it has provided the country with harmless soap opera for a few days.
And I got to learn about Grand Baroque silver!!
In all seriousness, I hope you will strongly advise this couple to take a long cooling off period, separately. They could come back together in six months or a year after spending some time apart. I also hope Jennifer will be able to find an excellent counselor who will tell her exactly what she needs to hear about herself (no psychobabble), and will help her find the strength to say whatever it is she needs to say to her family and to John.
Do you think she really wants to marry John? My gut feeling is that she does not.
