Black Girl handcuffs white woman a celeb
So let me get this right, a five year old Black girl has a temper tantrum,and gets handcuffed by three policemen, she is terrified, and the media starts a debate about should children be spanked, and what schools have to do to control children and what can parents do to discipline kids.

A White woman fakes her own kidnapping, blames a Hispanic man, puts her family through hell, wastes thousands of dollars on police resources, and she is made into a celeb which the media loves.

Im betting she will be on Letterman and Leno within two months.

I just dont think thats right.

1. She will also write a book.
"Cold Feet: The Jennifer Wilbanks story".

You know it's coming. :puke:

How completely expected in this country.

6. Only if they can angle it so her fiance is to blame.
Have to follow the "Chick Channel" guidelines, y'know...

2. We are a strange, strange country.
And getting stranger by the minute.

This is just another reason why I do not watch ANY teevee news at all. Period.

11. I do catch TDS from time to time.
It makes me laugh. And it hits closer to the truth than any other show out there.

Which is sad, considering the fact that it is billed as "fake news."

14. whew!!
Then you are right where you should be.

I used to have trouble really understanding how a double negative makes a positive,
but after watching real fake-news
and fake fake-news,
it is crystal clear that fake fake-news is REAL.

4. I think she staged it for precisely THIS purpose
Knowing how our media/population are.
Maybe I am jaded but I think she did it SO she could write a book and get a movie deal.:shrug:

8. I really believe she should be fined or something.
This is just as bad as that woman that lied and said she lost her lotto ticket that was for 200 million.

10. I think she should be forced to re-pay the taxpayers, who,
in essence, wasted money paying the police to look for a woman who wasn't missing.

15. I agree, she should have to at least pay some of it back
She bought her bus ticket days before she ran away. And what about the friend that drove her to the bus station? Why aren't they being charged with something like obstruction of justice?

12. Most Important Story In The History Of News Reporting
If she'd been anything other than caucasian, or if she'd been substantially overweight (for example), would we have heard anything about it?

13. People Like Her?
Most people I've talked to in Georgia think she's an idiot.

16. Right!!
I've been thinking along the same lines. And where are all the posters who came down so hard on a frightened little girl calling her evil, monster, deserving of the handcuffs. Where are those who called her mother a bad parent? There was no compassion from some posters for either mother or child.
