That story is gobsmackingly insane. Good riddance to that horror of a human.

It’s good that she’s been convicted, but why in fucks name is something like this possible at this point in history? We can drill holes in Mars but we use the honor system with state employees to keep elections valid?

Do better.

I recall a lady who was on video getting her phone confiscated at a restaurant or in public. Was this her? Look kinda similar.

Either way, fuck you, lady.

Edit: I don’t know what I typed that went batty with autocorrect. I’ve amended my words.

I tried to decode what that first sentence was trying to say, but failed. Can you help me out?

I'm guessing some FBI group pulled the same thing with the subject in the first sentence as they did with the My Pillow Guy. He was stopped in a fast food drive thru. They then confiscated his phone.

some_guy is asking if the lady in the link is the same woman he remembered seeing in a video.

Makes sense. However, he's fixed the comment since my message.
