And that is sort of the story. If it had happened in some poor neighborhood it would have had about 5 minutes of air time (if any at all) and would never be spoken about again. This stuff happens someplace everyday for all of history but unless there is some high profile reason it just isn't news.

Local news here covers these pretty much wherever they occur, at least initially. It's just that the high profile cases are likely to have follow-up because there is more public interest in them, since they are less frequent. Not sure that is the news agency's fault.

probably. I've never actually seen her. I just hear her on the news all the time talking about shootings, murders, robberies and other "situations".

Yea, she's heard more than a lot of reporters in the area, if you go to YouTube and type in her name you'll see basically the entire crime history of Gwinnett County (NE Atlanta Metro) for the past several years.

so this happened at a friend's place Saturday night.
I think I'm just a magnet for violent crimes. hanging on the back porch at a friends's house in the city when his neighbors were having a bit of a tiff. first a little back story these people fight a lot. last big incident was him getting drunk after getting home from being arrested for DUI. he wanted to leave but she didn't want him to so she blocked the driveway(gravel up hill) with her car. he wasn't having it so he tried to push her car with his. after ramming it a few times her gave up and walked off. Fast forward to Saturday at 6:53pm. the house they are in is a 3 unit rental. so front of the house is the main level with one person in there. out back going down the hill you have one unit downstairs and one up that is level with the front unit so the house is built into a hill. the people at the house are the BoyFriend(driver), GirlFriend(victim), the sister of the GF and her son(8 years old iirc). the BF and GF are arguing at the bottom of the driveway at the steps/patio of the lower unit. he is in the truck and she is at the drivers window. he starts to pull off and she's staying next to him for a few steps so I look away for a second because I didn't want to get called out for being nosy. I look back and they're gone. It might have been 3-5 secs max because I just couldn't look away. my initial thought was, "lol I bet she's hanging on the side of the truck." because he took off fast and they were no where to be found. then I figured she just went back in the house really fast. then in what I would guess was less than a minute later he come running back down the driveway screaming, "OMFG I need a phone" etc. we run out front and my friend who got there first is yelling to get towels. so we grab them and go outside to find her in the street maybe 10 yards away from the end of the driveway which I would estimate to be about 40-50ft long from where they took off from. her face is smashed, the blood is pouring out of her face/ears big time and she's rolling around in agony. one of the girls at the house with us is a nurse so she's out there holding the towels on her face and my friend's wife is calling 911. meanwhile the BF and sister are FREAKING the F out. cops and ambulance show up pretty quickly. the BF tells the cop that he was following him out and fell down or some BS that didn't make it look like he had her holding onto the side of the truck as he drove away. well when he goes inside to get her ID he stops to pick up her phone that was on the ground at the end of the driveway. I tell the cop that his story is total BS and fill him on what I saw. when he gets back the cop starts talking to him and puts him under arrest. sparing the rest of the details the sergeant gets on scene and I tell him what happened then later the "incident reconstruction team" arrives to take pics and piece together what happened and I tell them the same thing. they all agree that it all fits together. currently the BF is in jail with charges of reckless conduct. the GF is still in the ICU with 3 broken ribs, broken shoulder, broken elbow, broken face, broken skull and brain bleeding. I just hope I don't have to go to court. |

Wow. That sucks.
There's about zero chance they won't ask you to be a witness. Truth told though I don't think this will ever make it to court.

the problem with rentals is not the cost, or the location, or the availability. it's the low intelligence of the majority that need to rent.
