Did you read about her? She was lying.
I’d like to know how much pursuing the cops actually did on this one, because this was so obviously a hoax from the get green. The dude that would get so mad at a bumper sticker that he’d beat a woman down in the street in the name of Obama and the dude that’s sticking you up at the ATM are not the same dude. (Please note that I’m saying “dude” because I’m making an effort not to use that other word on the site. Call me if you really wanna hear how that sentence sounds.) This moron just combined every stereotype of black people she could into one package. It’s like she said she jacked by every incarnation of Ice Cube, all at the same time.
“He had a jheri curl, a flannel, was hanging with a guy that smelled like reefer, and was driving a minivan taking his kids across the country. But he was big and he had a gun.”
(Wire fans — she called BNBG.)
This here lady could have told her this wouldn’t work. But that there lady could have told her that you can just vaguely describe some black man, and the cops will be on it. In the Susan Smith case, they were out there looking for “a black man.” If i recall, that was all there was to work with, and the cops were really beating the streets looking for “a black man.” Thank goodness they didn’t make it across the tracks by the time the woman confessed.
So I sincerely hope the police did not investigate this woman’s claims too thoroughly. I’d like to think they’ve got more game than that. I certainly do.
