Police Say

The Iowa woman who has admitted that she intentionally ran over a young teen girl with her SUV because she was “Mexican” also struck a 12-year-old black boy just minutes earlier, police said.

Nicole Marie Poole Franklin, 42, was charged on Friday with attempted murder after allegedly using her Jeep Grand Cherokee to strike 14-year-old Natalia Miranda, who was on a sidewalk near her middle school at around 5 p.m. on Dec. 9. Franklin “ran the girl over” and fled the scene, police have said.

But on Monday night, Franklin was charged with a second count of attempted murder after police determined that, before striking Miranda, she had tried to run down a 12-year-old black boy with her SUV, The Des Moines Register reported.

Witnesses reportedly told police that Franklin accelerated before hitting the boy, who was reported to have suffered minor injuries in the incident near a Des Moines apartment complex. Sgt. Paul Parizek, of the Des Moines police, told the newspaper that the boy’s race, combined with the other incidents, have led police to believe Franklin attacked him with “hate-filled motivation.”

This woman is evil. They should lock her up and throw away the key.

1. I don't know anything about Iowa laws, but 2 attempted murder charges in a short time

sounds like LOOOONG TERM prison time to me. Sure was that was in every State I've lived in. (all four of them)

[uponit7771]

2. NOT ... mentally ill, just straight asshole

[Bettie]

13. Meth

it messes people up...and if they started out awful, it magnifies that.

[grantcart]

23. Yep

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Probably both. She seems to be a crazy alcoholic asshole.

[lunasun]

3. Beware - She is capable of murder

[dalton99a]

4. Franklin had an extensive criminal history

Public records show that Franklin had an extensive criminal history before these alleged events, beginning in the mid-1990s through present day. Her record includes multiple convictions for theft, escape of misdemeanant from custody, tampering with a witness or juror, misdemeanor assault, and operating a vehicle while under the influence, among other charges.

She was still booked in at the Polk County Jail on Tuesday in lieu of a $1 million-plus cash bail.

7. I wonder how many times her car had bodywork done to it. There might have been more attacks.

[Archae]

8. The article says she admitted to smoking meth before the incidents.

Figures.

[Ilsa]

20. Sounds like she made a choice to do that?

I don't know much about meth and it's addictive qualities.

[sheshe2]

5. What kind of person does this?

[sakabatou]

6. An evil person

[George II]

10. You're assuming she's a "person".

[sheshe2]

12. My mistake.

That a woman would try to run a child down, not once but twice is beyond my comprehension.

[obamanut2012]

18. Except she is a person, she is a human

Many people are evil.

I know the point you were making, but I feel like it gives the evildoer a bit of a handwave.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

27. She is a person.

[yaesu]

9. Can you imagine going through life with so much hatred. nt

[Rob WA]

11. Oh please....

Oh please, please, please let her face a black judge with a Latino bailiff.

[marble falls]

16. Because a black or hispanic judge would go above and beyond the law?

[obamanut2012]

19. Seriously?! WTF are you implying?

That POC court employees will take revenge on here, instead of properly and blindly upholding the law?

[liberalhistorian]

21. I don't think that

that was what the poster was implying. I think he/she just meant that it would drive this evil woman crazy, and there'd be absolutely nothing she could do about it.

[Rob WA]

22. Exactly

Thank you. It is exactly what I meant.

Although I am new on DU, I understand the rules. I'm not sure that a response of "WTF" in the first response shows the civility expected. If I had a chance to respond to a request to clarify, I could have been spared a the vitriol.

[marble falls]

25. I do. I think its pretty obvious what they mean.

[mr_lebowski]

28. See the post above, poster clarified ...

It clearly could be taken either way ... just sayin'

[marble falls]

30. Just sayin', usually the first impression is right. Justice is supposed to be colorblind ...

even from the bench and the people's representative - the prosecutor.

[mr_lebowski]

31. I agree about Justice, but ...

I also think it'd be classic if she had minorities sentencing her because of her obvious f'ed up attitude towards them, so ... anyways marble, Happy Holidays

[ck4829]

14. Another example of her disgusting white nationalist terrorism

[Mc Mike]

15. This leads me to recall the red-state legislatures' efforts to put new anti-protest laws in,

that would allow people in vehicles who were stopped in traffic by protestors to hit those protestors with their vehicles, and not be charged.

[dalton99a]

17. +1. To protect very fine people

[jcmaine72]

24. I hope she spends most of what's left of her life in prison.

A message needs to be sent that there's no place for violent white nationalism/supremacy in 2020 America.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

29. She is smiling in her booking photo

Not an ounce of guilt or even regret.

In my book, that criminal sociopathy.
