and it sure ain't W ...

What impressed me the most about her is how unrepentant she was. She's still ticked off at her daughter for making the scam go sour.
And besides, what ever happened to:
"JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU GET HOME" ?
</sarcasm>
She is purported to be an "Irish Traveler". If so, she is a GYPSE w. She was frustrated in her attempt to return two articles of clothing for CASH. Were the items "boosted" as part of a typical GYPSE scheme?
There is a need for facts before claiming "racisim", even though anti white racisim is PC
Secondly, I never claimed there was a "racist" element. You inferred that "crack whore" must necessarily refer to a black woman. Hardly.
My point is that the umbrage this incident reflects could have originated because the perpetrator is not your stereotypical child abuser. I don't think that's the case, but I'm grasping.
when they determine that even though he was inside the building in an office watching the video from a hundred yards away he could have run out of the office, through the store, out the door, and across the parking lot before the women had driven off?
Let's see -- she admitted she's an Irish Traveler, she has already been busted for shoplifting, she's 25, with three kids, and doesn't work, and yet she drives a $50,000 car. Do the math.
I'd be more curious how a private videotape ended up bouncing off satellites all around the world. This was a matter between the store and the woman -- if that -- until the media piranhas got a hold of it. Now everybody from the local gendarmes to the Pope have gotten in on it.
Her real downfall will come from the Travelers.
Thanks to her, the con-man modus operandi
of the Irish gypsies has been imbedded into
the minds of America. New scam time for
them and the dog house big time for her.
The Irish Travelers are not Gypsies. Gypsies are an ethnic group that originally came from India. The Irish Travelers are a group of Celtic con artists.
Meanwhile, the media mind our business, the government butts in and makes matters worse, and the real crooks sneak off with our DVD players while our attention is diverted.
Hey, you are the one who refused to believe that she wasn't a Gypsy, and referred to such media reports as "bugle oil." Now, the woman is NOT of Romani heritage (the traditional meaning of Gyspy, as in the nationality which was slaughtered in the Holocaust) but she *is* an Irish Traveler, which is a group which exhibits the characteristics traditionally associated with Gypsies (e.g. itinerant lifestyle, scamming, distrust of outsiders.)
Anyhow, since you seem to be so brilliant and all, please tell me 1) how this woman could own a $50,000 car without having a job, 2) why an honest person would need FOUR drivers' licenses, 3) why a self-admitted beater of her child should not be punished, and 4) why you posted a thread about a subject you think has already received too much attention.
Actually, as I understand it, she has FIVE cars registered in her name. And until having multiple vehicles registered in your name is a crime, what business is it of ours?
2) why an honest person would need FOUR drivers' licenses,
See above.
3) why a self-admitted beater of her child should not be punished,
I never said she shouldn't. In fact, if you'll have somebody read you the article, I specifically said that the beating was wrong, yada yada yada. Of course, you conveniently overlooked that.
and 4) why you posted a thread about a subject you think has already received too much attention.
Because I wanted to point out that the media are responsible, and that the woman herself is meaningless. A subtlety you are obviously unable to grasp.
Let me give you the Sesame Street version: This is a trivial incident of a loathsome wench who whomped her child. Only because the media blew it up to cosmic proportions do we even know that it occurred. It's not important. It's not significant. It's certainly not worthy of the fooforaw it's created. But the media created a story from nothing, a fact that abuses the high position and responsibility those institutions occupy.
Get it?
