the real tragedy here, and what she should receive additional legal penalties for; is that if she was gonna crash into a building she should have taken out one of the those awfully painted stupid turkey statues around town…have you ever looked closely at one of them? they look like a retarded girl scout troop from riner painted them…certainly not “professional” artists…i say lock this girl up for awhile, next time she’ll take more caution before she plows a deadly weapon into someone’s home…thank god frank beamer is safe.
