Wife of founder of Ozarks Minutemen claims Hispanics raped her but it's a lie
Edited on Wed May-28-08 11:57 AM by proud2Blib
The Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD | The wife of a founder of the Ozarks Minutemen has pleaded guilty to lying about being raped and shot by three Hispanic men.

Angela D. Wilburn, 44, appeared in Greene County Associate Circuit Court on Tuesday and pleaded guilty to making a false report, a class B misdemeanor. Wilburn is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 3. She could face up to six months in prison and a $500 fine.

Wilburn is the wife of Brian Wilburn, who helped form the Ozarks Minutemen. She was charged with the crime in December, after calling 911 reporting someone had shot her.

Angela Wilburn told investigators that three Hispanic men broke into her mobile home and that one of the men sexually assaulted her in the hallway, then shot her in the knee with a handgun.

She soon retracted her story and said she heard a noise, and grabbed her husband’s gun. She told police the gun went off as she reached for a flashlight.

1. She should get the penalty
for assault w/a deadly weapon and rape. She was willing to let some one innocent be framed for it.

2. I hope she's never raped, and has to convince people she's not lying again.

3. First the gun--THEN the flashlight. Real smart there, Angie. I just can't find any sympathy,
I'm trying really. A lot. :sarcasm:

What an idiot.

5. Misdemeaner????
She got off easy, how many of those crackers will believe it happened just the way she said it? Appalachia and the Ozarks, I'd be real proud to have these jerks as my voting block.

6. turn-on
The chewin' tabacca and corncob pipe was probably not a real turn-on for the Hispanic males, anyhow.

8. if her story held up for another 48 hrs and got traction

9. They used to claim the same for blacks.
One way to get an African American noosed was for some white girl to claim he raped her. Also, many of the crimes and misdemeanors that were formerly blamed on African Americans seem to be being blamed on Hispanics these days. Also, that is probably a battered woman there. Having lived among Aryan nation types, I can attest to the fact that their hunting dogs get more respect than their wives usually do.

10. Googled their site
Besides being absolutely obssessed with xenophobia, they're incapable of organizing a cub-scout den, much less a "militia".

14. It's southern Missouri
Deliverance could have easily taken place there. Those hillbillies are way strange.

16. These stories come from all over. It's not Missouri.
California during the fires, that little girl that pretended to be beat up at school for her sign -- it's 'way more than Missouri. :(

15. Idiots like this make it harder for the brave women who report their rapes.
Don't women who have been assaulted have to put up with enough shit, without having assholes like this lady making it tougher for them to report it.
