He home was just a few blocks away. 1/3 of a mile. Looking at the map, the on ramp is srrounded by a grassy area. The only place not in someone’s yard. The only place to sit. Her actions make almost perfect sense. Something like she went on a walk and was deep in thought and sat down to clear her head. (Speculating).
The report described as “heavily redacted” is also strangely redacted. My hunch is it may have been redacted by someone to reflect an inaccurate picture of the event. The question is who redacted it? Austin PD or Buzzfeed?
If I had to choose, it would be Buzzfeed (or the person giving the report to Buzzfeed). The redactions just don't make sense. Why redact the actual offense and not her address, birthday, etc. Is it because the offense was a simple trespass because she was in an area which prohibits pedestrians? That is not slimey enough. Surely, being depressed is not an offense.
Now...in my world pedestrians are prohibited by law from being on an expressway. That includes the grassy areas next to the on/off ramps. Any LEO would tell you you are putting yourself in danger if you remained in that spot. No surprise there but again, the redactions seem to be tailored to give the impression she was in such a deep depression, he thought she might be close to ending her life.
I am glad the article was posted. Someone is playing dirty and I, for one, prefer to know when & how. I also want to know who. I am leaning towards Rove & GOP-e simply because of the Austin TX connections. Also because a records search turns up empty. IOW, someone had to know of this by means other than a simple internet search.
Opposition research isn't exactly a new game. The Clintons had their famed PI operation Palladino & Sutherland and Team Chicago used it to clobber every election opponent Baraq ever had.
