he was charged with battery because police said Scott resisted arrest, including kicking and head-butting an officer
Granny has some spunk left in her!
I don't blame her for having one last night of fun before her guilty plea, but she should have showered.
Living in the state, I think the anger aspect was entirely reasonable.
I saw someone with stickers for her on their car today. I hate this fucking place. I would never threaten a government official. I might say something along the lines of this lady was right. Hypothetically
Ive got kin in Arkansas, I swear to fuck everytime I have to interact with folks outside of them its just nothing but passive aggressive southern bullshit.
Just cause I radiat the spite of the Mojave and treat social interactions like a slur doesnt mean I dont know what ya sonsovbistches are doing.
I literally heard a "they need to speak like we do" just the other day. Not speak the language we do mind you, she was talking about foreigners speaking English but she couldn't understand them. Then she doubled down and said "yes, I just said that!" Fucking Cunty McBigot
Funny enough ive been told by southern folk to speak properly, now consider the words I choose to write in ya can prolly put together that I speak a somewhat rural southern descended dialect. Actually its closer to three dialects mashed together but thats besides the point. I can never get s clear answer to what they mean by properly since even I am not entirely sure what my accent or dialect is.
I get it. I was in the southwest area at the time, and this older lady said "well you aren't from around here are you?" Yes ma'am, born and raised. "Well you sure don't sound like it." Thank you. My mom ensured we were by no means considered hicks or rednecks. She was a great woman
Funnily enough I speak like a complete hick and Redneck, but that has its own cultural and social reasons. Mostly its to fuck with yuppies, its funny watching them think im some dumb Redneck and then I promptly go on about the economic philosophy of Adam Smith.
Oh, I totally get that sentiment! It's a good time to do it on purpose
Yeah I do lean into it but I have lost all control of my accent at this point.
This is why you don't make threats.
I dunno. 78 days served, an anger management class and a $2500 fine ... all of which got her the chance to headbutt and kick cops!
I'm a year or two younger than her and I'd go for it. \○/
