Woman hits trooper with car

March 25, 2018:

A stupid woman rammed her car into a Utah State Trooper who happened to be helping someone stuck on the side of the road.

Utah Highway Patrol Seargent Cade Brenchley was responding to "multiple slide-offs" in Sardine Canyon in northern Utah on Sunday when he was struck from behind.

Brenchely was clad in a yellow safety vest (you know, the bright fluorescent yellow ones with reflective material so that you can see them a mile away to avoid hitting them with a car) walking toward a stalled car on the shoulder of the highway, when a lady driving a dark sedan hit him, sent him flying onto the top of the stalled car, after which he hit the ground.

Brenchely suffered from broken ribs and a broken scapula.  Thankfully this husband and father (and well-liked veteran of the department) appeared to be recovering well.

While Seargent Brenchely said the woman “should not be vilified”, we here at the “Women Suck” blog feel some vilification is in order.  Hopefully she won’t do it again.

'She's not to be vilified': Utah trooper forgives motorist who struck him on side of the road


JULIA JACOBO
Good Morning America  |  March 27, 2018

A Utah police officer who was seen in his own dashcam video flying through the air after being struck by a motorist over the weekend said he forgives the driver who injured him.

Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Cade Brenchley was responding to "multiple slide-offs" in Sardine Canyon in northern Utah on Sunday when he was struck from behind, the Utah Department of Public Safety said in a press release.

Brenchley, clad in a yellow safety vest, was walking toward what appears to be a disabled car when a dark sedan came skidding by, tossing him into the air with such force that he hit the disabled car in front of him before landing on the snow-filled ground, the video shows.

The dark sedan continued skidding forward before finally coming to a stop while facing backward, and several bystanders were seen coming to Brenchley's aid.  Brenchley suffered from broken ribs and a broken scapula, and was taken to a local hospital, the Utah DPS said.

Brenchley, a 13-year veteran with the department, said he didn't realize how forceful the impact was in a press conference alongside his family on Tuesday.  "When I watched the video, I had no idea that it was that hard," he said. "And yeah, I flew."

The driver was "in hysterics" when she approached him lying on the road, he said, adding, "She's not to be vilified."

"She did make a mistake, and I think she's learned from it," he said.

The driver and some of the passengers who were in the car brought flowers when they visited Brenchley in the hospital, he said.

"I hold no ill will toward her," he said. "And if anybody should be upset, it should be me or my family. But, we're not."

Some of Brenchley's notable achievements while on patrol include delivering twins on the side of the interstate and helping to save a victim from a burning car, the Utah DPS said. He is "well respected and known" in the community, where he also serves as a local soccer coach.

Eleven troopers have been already been hit on Utah roads in 2018, the DPS said, calling the number "unacceptable." Just 10 troopers were struck in 2017.

Oregone for a few hours today

March 12, 2018:

In Bendover, Bend, Oregon, a woman who would temporarily abandon the children in her care in order to work out at the gym and go to a tanning salon has been sentenced to 21 years and 4 months in prison.

January Neatherlin, 32, who ran a daycare with 7 children (ranging from 6 months to 4 years old), pleaded guilty to 11 counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and a count of third-degree assault.

She gave the children melatonin to induce sleep so that she could leave them unattended while she exercised and got a tan.

Other incidents at her daycare include a child who suffered from head trauma and a child who was burned by being given scalding hot milk.

<<Yes,it’s cloudy; not enough sun in parts of Oregon. Yes it’s hard to find time or make time to exercise.  But you get paid to watch kids, not to “look good”.  But with so many women, it’s all about them and their “needs” (read: WANTS).  Who cares about anyone else (including helpless kids)?>>


Neatherlin was on a list of subsidized child care for students at Oregon State University-Cascades.

<<I guess hers is one Beaver that won’t be seeing any action for at least 21 years (or maybe less, for good behavior).>>

Oregon day care owner gets 21 years for drugging kids, leaving them to go tanning

BEND, Ore. -- A woman who abandoned children at her home day care center in Bend, Oregon to go tanning has been sentenced to 21 years, four months in prison. The Bend Bulletin reports 32-year-old January Neatherlin was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in February to 11 counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and a count of third-degree assault.

Neatherlin was arrested last year after police found seven children left unattended at her illegal day care center. CBS affiliate KOIN reported that the children ranged in age from 6 months to 4 years old.  Authorities said she forced the children to take medicine to induce sleep before heading to the tanning salon or to the gym.

The other counts of criminal mistreatment are for previous incidents with children, including several that left children with injuries including head trauma and burns from scalding-hot milk, the Bulletin reported.

"She has shown no remorse, after being confronted multiple times by multiple sets of parents," mom Audrey Torrance said.

In court Neatherlin apologized, telling families that she had failed them and let them down.

Neatherlin has prior felony identity-theft convictions under the names January Livsey and January Brooks.

Neatherlin took out a business license for Little Giggles in 2010, but it lapsed in 2012 and was not renewed, The Bulletin reported last year. A day care license is only needed if a provider cares for more than three children.

Neatherlin was on a list of subsidized child care for students at Oregon State University-Cascades.

Flying Off The Handle

A woman (pictured above) was kicked off a plane for berating another passenger and telling a stewardess she would get her fired from her job.

The woman had boarded the airplane in a bad mood. She allegedly started cursing because she had to sit in the back of the plane. A mother and child passenger (Marissa Rundell and son Mason, pictured below) were seated next to her.

The mother asked that the woman refrain from cursing in front of her son. The woman allegedly responded by telling the mother to “shut the f*** up and shove it.”

After this, the mother started recording the woman on video. You can see in the video she is yelling at someone (most likely the stewardess, whose name is Tabitha) and slams her black boots and other belongings on the chair. After getting the stewardess's name, the woman then tells the stewardess, “Thank you Tabitha, you may not have a job, tomorrow.”

Immediately after threatening to get her fired, the stewardess tells the other crew members that she wants the woman removed from the plane. The woman then apologizes and starts making excuses as to why she behaved so rudely.  While the video does not show it, the woman is eventually thrown off the flight.

Irate passenger. She was wearing an army-green fatigue-colored top and was carrying some black combat-looking boots. I'm guessing she was a feminist.


The story has received many comments on social media. Some praising the stewardess, and others siding with the crazy woman and criticizing the mother and child (one such idiotic comment stated that "19 years old is too young to have a baby - how can she take care of another child?")

I thought feminists were pro-woman. But here you have a woman who curses at a mother and threatens to get another woman fired from her job (despite all the whining about pay gaps, discrimination in the workplace, not enough women represented in certain companies, etc), but the PC trolls instead take the crazy woman's side and criticize the mother for bringing a child on the plane.

But what do you expect from people who want to destroy the family and replaced it with the state?

Passenger kicked off Delta flight after complaining about sitting next to mother and baby

Sarah Young  |  The Independent  •  February 15, 2018

Footage has been released showing the moment a furious woman was kicked off a flight after complaining about being seated next to a mother and baby.

Video of the drama was shared on Facebook by the mother, Marissa Rundell, who was on the flight to Syracuse, New York, from John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The 19-year-old, who was travelling with her eight-month-old son Mason, wrote, “This lady thought she was going to be rude to me and Mason, now she has no way home today.

“Thank you to the lovely Delta flight attendant for not letting this women bully us. Karma is a b****”

According to Rundell, the rude passenger started shouting and swearing as soon as she boarded the aircraft.

“She was the last one to get on the plane and I was in the second to last row of the plane,” she told Mail Online.

“She came to the back and slammed her bags down. She said ‘this is f****** ridiculous. It's bulls**t having to sit in the back of the plane’.”

After Rundell politely asked the woman to refrain from swearing around her son, she reportedly told the mother to “shut the f*** up and shove it.”

 It was at this point that the flight attendant, Tabitha, came over to see what the problem was and Rundell began filming.

After complaining about having to sit next to a baby, the woman got out of her seat and demanded a new one, however this was not possible. Instead Tabitha offered her a seat on the next flight but this angered the woman even more.

In the footage, the passenger exclaims, “I can't” and then slams her belongings on the seat demanding that the flight attendant state her name.

“Thank you Tabitha, you may not have a job, tomorrow,” she asserts.

Consequently, Tabitha responds by voicing that she wants the irate woman removed from the plane and, while the passenger attempts to apologise explaining that she was “really stressed out”, she had gone too far.

Shortly after, the woman was escorted off the plane by the gate agent, but not before warning that the airline would regret it.

Rundell’s video has since been shared more than 14,000 times on Facebook and received a flood of comments praising the flight attendant for her quick thinking.

“Yay, Tabitha. You kept your composure while this disorderly woman made a complete and utter fool of herself,” one person wrote.

Another added, “That woman was making more noise and having a tantrum than your baby who you didn't even hear a peep out of during all this commotion. Glad it worked out for you!”

The United States Secret Cervix

 Julia Pierson, (former) Director of the Secret Service.

Nice "do", lady.  More like a don't.

On September 19, 2014, a 42-year old man broke into the White House.

Omar Gonzalez, an army veteran from the Iraq war, eluded various layers of security and was able to enter deep into the White house just minutes after the president and his family had taken off in a helicopter for a weekend getaway at Camp David.  Gonzalez was carrying a two and a half inch knife.

OG (Omar Gonzalez). This idiot thinks he's still in Iraq and
that Barack Hussein is the same as Saddam Hussein.


The intruder was able to run unobstructed across the entire White House lawn (70 yards), sprint up to the front door past a guard, then enter the building and run up two halls before being stopped just outside the “Green Room”, which is located right next to the oval office.

This is the furthest anyone has gotten inside the executive mansion (most jumpers are usually tackled by secret service men near the fence)

This debacle caused the FEMALE director of the Secret Service, Julia Pierson, to resign (she has been the only female director to date).  They had to bring in a retired MALE agent to temporarily replace her.

 Aww, Pooh!

Pierson had been named the director of the U.S. Secret Service in March 2013 by President Obama (in order to be politically correct).  The Secret Service Agency had been marred by scandal a year before, where men in the secret service slept with prostitutes while on a summit meeting in Colombia.

(But honestly, who cares? As long as it’s on their own time and they didn’t reveal any state secrets or endanger anyone, it’s nobody’s business).

This should be a hit with my female constituents . . .

Hiring a woman was suppose to “change the culture of the agency from a ‘boy’s club’ or‘frat house’ culture”.  People were hoping she would “change the male dominated service”.

(now, if someone had said we need more male schoolteachers to change the “female-dominated school system”, that would have been seen as sexist.  But for some reason, feminists and the politically-correct crowd see no problem with such statements if they are directed against men.  Bunch of hypocrites . . .)


While I do agree that those protecting the president should be of better character, the most important thing is being competent at your job.  If the president or a member of his family dies on your watch, nobody is going to care what swell upstanding people your agents are.  They aren’t going to care that your agents are feminists or that those agents care about ‘feelings’.  The people want to be assured that those protecting the president can kick some butt if the situation calls for it.  In the end, Julia Pierson lost the respect of those working under her, as well as the members of congress.

While you may not like the men in the sunglasses above, competence trumps political-correctness.


It also didn’t help that Pierson initially lied to the press and the president about the details of the incident.

During the congressional hearings, she oftentimes refused to answer questions directly.  It was also discovered during the hearings that under her tenure, an armed security contractor (who had a criminal past) had not been screened and was allowed to get on an elevator with the president during a trip in Atlanta.  In addition, during a different presidential trip in March, one secret service agent was found passed out drunk in front of the president’s room.

This isn’t quite the way to “clean house”.

The sad thing is, she looked good on paper.  She has many years of experience (having joined the secret service in 1983, and having served as the Secret Service’s chief of staff in 2008).  She also served on the protective details of the three previous presidents (Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr.).  It’s unfortunate.

Tokenism never works, at least not for long.

However, to be fair, everyone in the president’s security detail failed miserably that day.  Here’s the breakdown:



1.
The surveillance team outside the fence (who are suppose to warn agents inside the grounds about a break in, in order to give those agents a head start over the intruder), failed to notice Gonzalez.

2.
The alarm box at the front entrance had been turned off because the White House ushers were complaining that it was “too loud”.

(Well no shit, stupid – it’s suppose to be loud.  It’s an alarm.  I’m going to take a wild guess and say these ushers were female.)

 White House officials claimed the alarms boxes were malfunctioning and unnecessarily sounding off (but again, it’s the secret service’s job to get that fixed).  That’s a very poor excuse.

3.
The front door was left unlocked (because there was no alarm, the inside guard failed to close and lock the door in time).  There was also no guard outside the door (like there should have been)



4.
The ‘hounds’ were not released.

White House officials claim the guard dogs were not sent out because there were other people out (whom they didn’t want to get hurt).

(I have to ask: What is the point of having attack dogs if you don’t use them?  The White House always has security people (“Friendlies”) around the premises.  Are they all suppose to rush inside before the dogs can be released?  What if the intruder rushes in with them?  So dumb)

However, it was later revealed that the officer in charge of the guard dogs: 1) was on his personal cell phone, 2) did not have his earpiece in, and 3) also did not have his back-up radio on him (he had left it in his locker), so he was not aware of the breach and did not send out the attack dog.

5.
Agents, though armed, failed to shoot the suspect.  Gonzales brushed past an agent with a drawn gun near the entrance.


The intruder also managed to overpower and push his way past a FEMALE secret service agent inside the white house.  Authorities claim that “gender was not a factor”.

(I disagree. It would have been less likely for a man to be pushed over, due to men’s generally larger frames and muscle mass).

It took an off-duty secret service agent (he was leaving for the night) to notice Gonzalez and tackle him to the ground.  Thank goodness at least one guy (who wasn’t even suppose to be working since his shift was over) did HIS job properly.

Utter incompetence on the part of everyone else.

Political correctness in general, and feminism in particular, endangers lives.  Therefore, it has no place in critical jobs such as these (or any job for that matter).

If you can’t meet the requirements of the job, then you should find another job. If that female guard who was shoved aside does not pass the physical qualifications that men have to pass, she should be fired.  I also think the White House ushers and the guard in charge of the dogs should be fired.

Gina McCarthy and the EPA (part 2): No use crying over spilled wastewater

Read My Lips: The U.S. Government did NOT try to dupe the Indians, again - You can trust me!

More from Gina McCarthy, the administrator for the U.S. Environmental Pollution Protection Agency (EPA)

I posted previously about her role in the Flint Water crisis.  Apparently that was not her only rodeo.

The Gold King Mine spill:

On August 5, 2015, an EPA-led crew uncorked 1 MILLION* gallons of contaminated orange wastewater during a mine clean-up project.  The contamination spread from Cement Creek and into the Animas River in Colorado, then poured into the San Juan River in New Mexico, which runs through the Navajo Nation, and also runs toward Lake Powell in Utah.  Three state governors declared a state of emergency.

Aw, f**k!  Not again!

A congressional hearing was called by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, but McCarthy refused to provide witnesses for the hearing.  This prompted the committee to issue her a subpoena.

According to the article, “The committee members blasted the EPA for its lack of cooperation in aiding the panel in its oversight role on the Aug. 5 spill”.

The committee chairman, John Barrasso stated:
“I am troubled further that the EPA would disregard such failures and attempt to avoid the responsibility by refusing to appear before the committee and answer questions; this sort of behavior is unbecoming of any federal official and won’t be tolerated.”

Although McCarthy says her office continues to cooperate with the committees, the committee members have said the EPA has been unresponsive to their requests for information.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Navajo Nation has accused the EPA of pressuring the Native Americans to waive their rights to future compensation (possibly by offering immediate reimbursements).  According to the Navajo President, Russell Begaye, EPA workers were going door to door on his reservation asking residents to sign claim forms appearing to waive their rights.

Begaye stated that EPA workers were approaching elderly Navajo farmers and ranchers who may not speak English as their first language and might have a difficult time understanding the form.

Gina McCarthy has called the water spill accident “a heartbreaking situation for the EPA”.  I think she may have meant bank-breaking.

This accident could have been avoided.  At the very least, the EPA could have given their full and immediate cooperation to the congressional investigation.  They did not.

So there you have it. If women ran the world.

Up Yours, Utah!  Same to the rest of you!!

Go Red Sox!!!!

Gina McCarthy and the EPA: Dense as lead

(brainless) Head of the EPA, Gina McCarthy

It has often been said that “if women ran the world . . .” things would be better, because women are supposedly more “moral” (blah blah blah).

So let’s take a look at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Gina McCarthy (a woman) is the current Administrator (head) of the EPA (she had been appointed as assistant administrator of the EPA Office of Air and Radiation in 2009 by President Obama).

She (along with Michigan Governor Rick Snyder) were the subject of a Congressional Hearing.

She has been implicated in the Flint Water crisis, where the City of Flint, MI had switched over from treated drinking water to an untreated water source in order to save money.  It was eventually discovered that the water was tainted with lead.  Residents, especially children, suffered health problems due to lead poisoning.

I'll beat this rap . . .

The EPA, under the leadership of McCarthy, did nothing.  An internal EPA report listing concerns about lead levels in the water was ignored for months.  And what was McCarthy’s response to this?

“Because of the complexity of lead, we did not and could not have made a concerted judgment about whether it was a systemic problem."

Really, McCarthy?  What a load of BS.

McCarthy then added that the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) had told the EPA that they had implemented corrosion controls in Flint, when they hadn't actually done so.  According to McCarthy:

“In hindsight, we should not have been so trusting of the State for so long when they provided us with overly simplistic assurances of technical compliance rather than substantive responses to our growing concerns.”
“We were strong-armed, we were misled, we were kept at arm's length, we couldn't do our jobs effectively.”

Strong-armed?  Really?  You are the EPA, a Federal Agency, and you were ‘strong-armed’ by a state agency who (according to McCarthy) has a strong relationship with the EPA? (her own words as per the transcript from the congressional hearings).  So the EPA couldn’t send someone out there to test the water or ask questions?

I tried but they wouldn't listen! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

She then goes on to say:

“Although EPA regional staff repeatedly urged the MDEQ to address the lack of corrosion control [which results in lead from pipes leaching into the water], we missed the opportunity late last summer to quickly get EPA’s concerns on the public’s radar screen.”

What does she mean “we missed the opportunity late last summer”?  Does the EPA only make announcements during summer vacation?  Do they go back to school in the fall or something?  Do the seasons prevent them from making announcements?

Honest to god this bitch woman is so full of BS.

Even after this fiasco, the idiot White House continues to stand by her.  Maybe since they had to fire their (female) head of the Secret Service (Julia Pierson) relatively recently (October 2014), they didn't want to appear "anti-woman" (I'll write about Pierson in another post).  So even though this must be a major embarrassment for the White House, she still gets to keep her job.

Nyaah-Nyaah!  You can't make me resign!

 _______________________________

Another woman, the (former) director of the EPA’s Midwest regional office (located in Chicago), Susan Hedman, defended the actions of the EPA.  Speaking at a congressional hearing, she stated:

"I don't think anyone at EPA did anything wrong, but I do believe we could have done more."

Susan Headless Hedman, former regional head for the EPA.  She don't look too happy . . .

According to the scientist who exposed the water problem in Flint, Hedman ignored or downplayed his warnings regarding the dangerously high levels of lead in the drinking water.

Susan Heder in a canoe- Maybe she should try canoeing in the waters of Flint, Michigan

Here are the people who McCarthy, Heder, Rick Snyder, and all others like them betrayed:

McCarthy taking advantage of a photo op with a Black Child (African-Americans make up the largest ethnic group in Flint, MI).  Hopefully the poor child isn't dying of lead exposure on her couch.

Again, just to be clear (for those feminist dolts out there): I am not saying that men are necessarily better than women; I am simply saying that women are no better than men.  Ergo, there would be no improvement in world affairs if women were in charge.

 Text of official Transcript of Gina McCarthy's statement at congressional hearing:

Testimony of Gina McCarthy
Administrator
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
U.S. House of Representatives
March 17, 2016

Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Cummings, distinguished Members of the Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify about EPA’s response to the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

I want to start by saying what happened in Flint should not have happened and can never happen again. The crisis we’re seeing was the result of a state-appointed emergency manager deciding that the City would stop purchasing treated drinking water and instead switch to an untreated source to save money. The State of Michigan approved that decision, and did so without requiring corrosion control treatment. Without corrosion control, lead from pipes, fittings and fixtures can leach into the drinking water. These decisions resulted in Flint residents being exposed to dangerously high levels of lead.

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, Congress gives states the primary responsibility to enforce drinking water rules for the nation’s approximately 152,000 water systems, but EPA has oversight authority. Typically, EPA has a strong relationship with states under the Act. But looking back on Flint, from day one, the state provided our regional office with confusing, incomplete and incorrect information. Their interactions with us were intransigent, misleading and contentious. As a result, EPA staff were unable to understand the potential scope of the lead problem until a year after the switch and had insufficient information to indicate a systemic lead problem until mid-summer of 2015.

While EPA did not cause the lead problem, in hindsight, we should not have been so trusting of the State for so long when they provided us with overly simplistic assurances of technical compliance rather than substantive responses to our growing concerns. Although EPA regional staff repeatedly urged the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, or MDEQ, to address the lack of corrosion control, we missed the opportunity late last summer to quickly get EPA’s concerns on the public’s radar screen.

Since October, EPA has been providing technical advice to the City. Additionally, an EPA response team of scientists, water quality experts, community involvement coordinators, and support staff has been on the ground every day since late January. EPA’s efforts are part of a broader Federal response to the community, led by the Department of Health and Human Services. The EPA team has visited hundreds of homes and collected thousands of samples to assess the City’s water system. We’re encouraged by these test results, but our enhanced efforts with Flint will continue until the system is fully back on track.

We’ve also been engaging Flint residents - visiting places of worship, schools, libraries, community centers, and senior living facilities - to hear their concerns and share information.

I have also taken several concrete steps at the agency to address some of the systemic issues raised during this crisis. I directed a review of MDEQ and its ability to implement the Safe Drinking Water Act. I called on EPA’s inspector general to investigate EPA’s response to the Flint crisis. I issued an EPA-wide elevation memo encouraging staff to raise issues of concern to managers and managers to be welcoming of staff concerns and questions. I also recently sent letters to every governor and every state environmental and health commissioner in the country asking them to work with EPA on infrastructure investments, transparency, technology, oversight, risk assessment, and public education. And I have asked the states to join EPA in taking action to strengthen our safe drinking water programs, to ensure drinking water programs are working for our communities. Additionally, we are actively working on revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule.

While the contours of this situation are unique, the underlying circumstances that allowed it to happen are not. As a country, we have a systemic problem of underinvestment in “environmental justice” communities. Not only are these underserved populations more vulnerable to the health impacts of pollution, but they often lack the tools and resources to do something about it. That’s what stacks the deck against a city like Flint. That’s what creates an environment where a crisis like this can happen.

There are many missteps along the way that can tip the scales toward a crisis. In many areas across our country, water infrastructure is aging, it is antiquated, and it is severely underfunded – particularly in low-income communities, which may have the most difficulty securing traditional funding through rate increases or municipal bonds. This threatens citizens’ access to safe drinking water. We need to start having a serious conversation about how we advance the technologies and investments necessary to deliver clean water to American families.

I’m personally committed to doing everything possible to make sure a crisis like this never happens again. But EPA can’t do it alone. We need the cooperation of our colleagues at every level of Government and beyond. Thank you and I look forward to answering your questions.

Show Me Your Johnson

A nurse in upstate New York got into trouble with the law for taking pictures of an unconscious man’s genitals.

Kristen Johnson, a nurse at Upstate University Hospital used an iPhone 5 to take pictures of the patient and send them via text message.

A story from Syracuse.com stated that “She was charged with two counts of felony second-degree unlawful surveillance and one count of second-degree disseminating unlawful surveillance, a misdemeanor.” Ms. Johnson agreed to give up her license for a reduced sentence.

Now, if this had been a male nurse and female patient, his felony charge would probably have included “sexual assault” (even if he hadn’t touched her).  But fortunately for Ms. Johnson our feminist society treats women differently.

Expect some new “Shot on iPhone” panoramic ads soon . . .

pervo Kristen Johnson: Giving a new meaning to the term "naughty nurse".

Driving You Crazy

A woman in Baltimore drove her car off the 4th floor of a parking garage.

An article from ‘Carscoops.com’ (see link below) claims she was pulling INTO the parking space, “when for unknown reasons, she went forward and smashed through the concrete barrier”.

Unknown reasons, huh?  I’m guessing she put it in the wrong gear.  Just like happens in movies and cartoons.  I also speculate that a smart-phone and latte or espresso were involved.

Regardless, why would you drive that quickly (and thereby forcefully) into/out of a parking spot?

The woman was identified as 23-year old Lindsay Taylor Cook.  Police say she was not seriously injured.  That’s pretty impressive.  Maybe Audi should use this news story in a commercial (Ms. Cook was driving an Audi Q5 SUV)

 Now I am not suggesting that there are no bad male drivers, simply that women drivers aren’t as good as feminists and other man-haters claim they are.

Lucky for this poor oppressed woman, some evil patriarchal male was able to engineer the car in such a way that probably saved her life.
