Title: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: Llava on February 14, 2005, 01:39:31 PM Quote Friday, February 11, 2005 Posted: 1:48 PM EST (1848 GMT) FORT MITCHELL, Kentucky (AP) -- A nine-months pregnant woman fought off and killed a knife-wielding woman who may have been trying to steal the baby, police said Friday. Police said 26-year-old Sarah Brady acted in self-defense in killing Katherine Smith on Thursday. No charges were filed. Smith, 22, had been falsely telling neighbors for weeks that she was pregnant, and a search of her apartment after her death revealed a full baby nursery, investigators said. "She had everything in place that you'd expect to have in place with a newborn coming," said Steve Hensley, police chief in this Cincinnati suburb. Brady, 26, was treated for cuts at a hospital. Police said that about a week ago, Smith called Brady, a stranger, and asked her to come over and pick up a mistakenly delivered package. Brady picked up the package, the two spoke briefly and she left, according to police. Thursday's attack occurred after Brady went to pick up a second package at Smith's apartment, police said. In December, a Missouri woman was strangled and her baby was cut from her womb. The baby was later found alive, and a Kansas woman was charged with kidnapping resulting in death. Good for Sarah Brady, in my opinion. Crazy woman got what she deserved. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: HaemishM on February 14, 2005, 01:41:14 PM Is this the batshit insane woman that was wearing maternity clothes with padding when she attacked a pregnant woman? I read that story this weekend and thought, "That woman was nuttier than Chinese chicken."

It's really not a good idea to mess with a mother protecting her (soon to be born) child.Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: HaemishM on February 15, 2005, 07:52:57 AM That mother hen instinct must really come out, as I'm sure they found the pregnant woman on top of the non-pregnant woman pecking her eyes out.
Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: AlteredOne on February 15, 2005, 08:01:40 AM Actually the pregnant woman ran outside after defending herself, flagged down a passing motorist and called 911 on a cell phone.
My wife is pregnant, and I'm starting to think about training her in self defense. Just got a dog too -- maybe I'll insist she take him everywhere she goes. And I'll have to get her some new pepper spray, since the Canadians impounded ours at the border, damn them all. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: Ironwood on February 16, 2005, 08:38:19 AM Ironic that she didn't have a handgun to defend herself. Bruce I don't get it. Why's it ironic ? Everyone on these boards keep using that word. I do not think it means what you all think it means. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: SirBruce on February 16, 2005, 08:49:19 AM Because Sarah Brady is also the name of the wife of of James Brady, one of the men shot by John Hinkley, Jr when he tired to kill President Reagan. and whom the "Brady Bill" was named after, which mandated a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases. Sarah Brady was one of the bill's main proponents, and gun rights advocates widely view the legislation as having had a chilling effect on the ability of honest citizens to get a handgun for their own protection.

Everyone on these boards keep using that word. I do not think it means what you all think it means. Beats using the word "ironical". Its ironic that Americans should add superfluous letters to words.

Well, yeah, but that's not as annoying as irregardless. Or 'could care less'. I mean, for fuck's sake... As to that explanation Bruce - I can see why it was ironic in your mind. Kind of.

Post by: SirBruce on February 16, 2005, 09:49:55 AM As to that explanation Bruce - I can see why it was ironic in your mind. Kind of. It probably would have been more ironic if she did have a handgun and used it to kill her attacker. Bruce Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it?

And definately ironic. As is, it was kinda ironic. Alkiera Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it?

EDIT: Fuck, that song is stuck in my head now. DAMN YOU, ALANIS! DAMN YOU TO HELL! Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: WayAbvPar on February 16, 2005, 10:32:35 AM Thanks for passing that along...now I have it in my head too. As payback, I give you Tom's Diner-
Quote I am sitting in the morning At the diner on the corner I am waiting at the counter For the man to pour the coffee And he fills it only halfway And before I even argue He is looking out the window At somebody coming in "It is always nice to see you" Says the man behind the counter To the woman who has come in She is shaking her umbrella And I look the other way As they are kissing they're hellos I'm pretending not to see them And instead I pour the milk I open up the paper There's a story of an actor Who had died while he was drinking It was no one I had heard of And I'm turning to the horoscope And looking for the funnies When I'm feeling someone watching me And so I raise my head There's a woman on the outside Looking inside does she see me? No she does not really see me Cause she sees her own reflection And I'm trying not to notice That she's hitching up her skirt And while she's straightening her stockings Her hair is getting wet Oh this rain it will continue Through the morning as I'm listening To the bells of the cathedral… I am thinking of your voice… And of the midnight picnic Once upon a time before the rain began.. And I finish up my coffee And it's time to catch the train Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: Signe on February 16, 2005, 11:47:35 AM Stop. Pretty please. Everytime someone mentions they have a song stuck in their brain, and it doesn't matter what song it is, I get ABBA. At the moment, it's Fernando. The only deviation from this is when we're on a road trip... then it's Rush's Tom Sawyer. :cry:

Post by: Signe on February 16, 2005, 11:54:06 AM If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I decided to join the ranks of admirable bald people. I felt I had no choce. It was either that or a monkey. Bald really does seem to be "in". I'm considering the look for myself.
I still don't get the cartoony ones, however. They all look like the same person. I did finally notice that there was a spider on their lheads. I had thought it was a hole. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: schild on February 16, 2005, 11:55:20 AM Hm. So now 4 people have Hunter S. Thompson and 3 people have Spider Jerusalem.
It would seem, there's a competition going on. Or not. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: Shockeye on February 16, 2005, 11:55:22 AM Stop.

I just thought I'd share. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: Signe on February 16, 2005, 12:01:23 PM Hm. So now 4 people have Hunter S.

And the fat old bloke in Best Buy buying ABBA wasn't me, Shockeye... just so you know. As a strict rule, I loathe anyone who's ever won the Eurovision Song Contest.

Really, Spider Jerusalem is based off of Hunter S. Thompson... so you could argue that 7 people are sporting Hunter S. Thompson avatars in one form or another. EDIT There, problem solved. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it? Post by: schild on February 16, 2005, 12:49:26 PM Well yea, but I try not to be that blatently obvious.

It's an interim thingy and I was trying to make a wee point in my oh so subtle way. I like your new avatar. Pirates are teh sexah... even dead ones. My next avatar might be bald, won't smoke and will be dead. I just have to find her. Title: Re: You know what seemed like a good idea when I first heard about it?

At least Sigourney stands out a bit. Well, mostly because she's dirty. I never realised how much hair counts.
