You know, I’ve come to a crisis. After reading Mark Joyella’s amazing piece on the disgraceful way the media is exploiting Charlie Sheen’s breakdown, I feel ashamed for writing a post like this. How dare I, as a person in the media, sit here and attempt to profit off the sad destruction of a human being who’s clearly damaged and in need of help. It’s disgusting. Therefore, I promise that I will never again – OH MY GOD! HOLD UP! IS THAT A VIDEO OF A WOMAN FREAKING OUT AND DESTROYING A LIQUOR STORE? THAT CRAP IS HILARIOUS!!!

Here’s the lowdown on how this piece of security cam gold came about from LoHud.com:

“[Chris Giacopelli, store owner] said the clerk on duty was helping another customer. After just 40 seconds in the store, the woman from the taxi began complaining loudly that she wasn’t being served fast enough.

The woman then asked to use the store’s restroom.

When the clerk — who said she smelled alcohol on the woman’s breath — refused, the woman turned to leave and, with her arm extended, knocked dozens of liquor bottles to the ground.”

The woman turned herself into police shortly thereafter. And, as far as I know, she’s not planning on doing a live interview with TMZ about how she doesn’t have a problem and the liquor store owner is just jealous of how awesome she is. So there’s that.

Check out the incredible video below:

This resonates in Missouri, home of Cary Nation, who sincerely thought she was Queen Victoria.

If the judge who tries this case has a pair, he/she will make this hogly hag make full reparations to the owner by working for HIM. The trouble is, the courts are too lenient on people who act out inappropriately and damage the property of others. This is ONE of MANY reasons why the US is going to hell in a handbasket.

x-3- I don’t think I would want her working for me under any circumstance. Full rep and community service picking up garbage of the streets with a sign that reads “I’m an embarrassment to society” now that might make her think differently.

You’re a nice person Rocky, and your idea of full reparations is just. I like the sign idea, too, but it just seems that making her work for the store owner would be more humiliating–sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning windows and toilets, and such work that the most humiliating possible–all for minimum wage, of course.

With her ENTIRE check paid to the store owner, in case that wasn’t clear.

X-3-Though working for him as you say would be humiliation being in the public eye would be even more so. Everyone driving by would mock her. Then the local media would probably carry it on the 6:00 o’clock news and air the footage above as explanation. Then the AP would pick it up and it would go international. How’s that for cruel justice? The store owner doesn’t need to be subjected to her exsistance, once was enough don’t you think?

Maybe they would have saved all that poison if they just let her use the Can??? Smile :-)
