5. A 14 year old? Someone that is 42 years old attacking a 14 year old? Disgusting. I hope that ...

that the powers that be and the jury that is selected takes this despicable person and throw the book at her.

I hope people realize just how toxic these disgusting believers of rump and all things evil truly are.

[OldBaldy1701E]

27. This is why...

I think Hammurabi had it right. Put her butt on the sidewalk, and give her the same chances she gave that poor girl. Since the girl survived, there is a good chance that the crone will too.

snip--" “I don't remember the impact,” the teenager told Des Moines television station KCCI in the days after the crash. “I just remember the car coming at me.”



snip--"Franklin was already in jail on a separate assault charge when police interviewed her about the hit-and-run. In the assault case, which also occurred on Dec. 9, she's accused of making racist remarks to a West Des Moines convenience store clerk and customers and throwing items at the clerk.

22. This is the kind if psycho that doesn't just

support Trump but idolizes him.

Besides the attempted murder charge, I wonder how much additional time she will get for a hate crime. I'd love to see her get life. She is clearly a danger to the public.

My God, she didn't even lie about it and try to claim it was an accident! She is apparently proud of herself?

How can anyone live with themselves while holding so much hatred? How warped and miserable to be so consumed.

7. We need an abandoned mine shaft so we can drop fuckers like her into it -- and forget them

[PatSeg]

9. Its like some kind of mass insanity

that's taken over the country, especially since Trump took office. Not only are people doing hateful, violent racist things, they openly admit they did it and why they did it. Apparently this woman doesn't even care she will probably go to jail. Her hatred is more important than her freedom. Its like a really bad movie.

[louis-t]

10. Maybe she thinks donnie dum dum will pardon her.

[PatSeg]

13. Very likely

They are all brainwashed and brain dead. Real life zombies.

15. there has been a mass burning of moral compasses since trump took office

[PatSeg]

23. I know

[LiberalFighter]

11. She should be in prison for at least 5 years.

But probably let her off with a warning.

[RAB910]

12. 5 seems pretty light, I think 10 at a minimum

[comradebillyboy]

18. Is that a crime in Iowa?

[progressoid]

21. 25 years plus whatever they tack on for being a hate crime.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Terrorism: meant to inspire terror and make people afraid to even walk outside. . . . nt

[bucolic_frolic]

20. She left no doubt as to motive

blind with anger, she needs 4 walls to protect the public.

[stillcool]

24. so many things come to mind...

when reading about this crap...but none can be said.

[TheFourthMind]

25. This is how you apply for a job in the Trump administration. n/t

[SharonClark]

26. She's a nasty drunk.

[lunasun]
