Cops: Woman angered by Obama re-election runs over husband for not voting

[TomCADem]

Source: Orlando Sentinel

PHOENIX — An Arizona woman, in despair at the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama, ran down her husband with the family car in suburban Phoenix on Saturday because he failed to vote in the election, police said Monday.

Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested after running over husband Daniel Solomon following a wild chase that left him pinned underneath the vehicle.

Daniel Solomon, 36, was in critical condition at a local hospital but is expected to survive, Gilbert police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Sanger said.

Police said Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his "lack of voter participation" in last Tuesday's presidential election and believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.

The stupid is stong in this one. Note that this took place in Arizona, which Romney won! Thus, her husband's vote would have zero impact because Romney already won the State. Of course, this just happens to be the same State as the Gifford shooting. Perhaps some folks take Rush Limbaugh and Fox News way too literally.

1. Already posted, but your's has much more info. nt

[wellspring]

60. Here's the info you need.

As you know, in Arizona and other places we are blessed with wise Republicans. Don't forget to vote Republican. Dang! They think right good! And remember. We don't need no stinkin fact checkers. ----

7. Looks familiar.

13. Cross between that and Tagg Romney...

[dawn frenzy adams]

47. Amazing!

My God when I saw her picture, I thought, James O'Keefe.

Thanks for putting it all together.

[colorado_ufo]

52. Relative, perhaps? Bad genes?

[colorado_ufo]

51. He married that?

[Cha]

3. I had read that headline before that.. "Woman Runs Over Husband For Not Voting"

but, didn't check any further. sounded crazy and now I see President Obama's Re-Election is involved! "Obama made me do it!"

Lot of people voted for romney and so many of them brainwashed.. the bitterness must be Off the Charts.

The Secret Service Have their Hands FULL!

Thank you for your Excellent Job in keeping our President Safe!

Thanks TomCADem

4. brought to you by right wing media

the conservative entertainment complex convincing people America is finished because Obama was elected.

[progressivebydesign]

5. I'm more convinced than ever that Fox News, et al, is a cult.

and is specifically designed as such.

She worried that Obama was bad for her family? No.. she is bad for her family. What an idiot.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. Well, they do tell people tht you can't trust anyone else. n/t

[get the red out]

31. Very much so

Watching it, and/or listening to RW radio changes a person. They become a complete tin-foil-hatter that sees everything as a giantic conspiracy against truth and the American Way. That's why they can't be reasoned with. You can't reason with cult members.

[MrSlayer]

6. I also think voting is very important.

But just as the President wasn't going to lose PA by one vote, neither was Romney going to lose Arizona. He won it rather handily.

[SoapBox]

8. Arizona + Sun =

Fried brains.

[Tansy_Gold]

33. Uh, no.

Your comment is too stupid to alert on, but you really, really, really should know better.

Gabby Giffords? Raul Grijalva?

What's the excuse for Michele Bachmann? Minnesota + cold = frozen brains?

No, it's just that there are crazies all over.

[Thor_MN]

41. With all respect, Bachmann has not run anyone over.

She has said a lot of crazy ass things, she has hidden in a bush from a pride rally, but she has not committed any criminal and or violent acts. Stupid is everywhere. But it takes a special kind of stupid to act out one's anger, hate, fear.

I despise Michele Bachmann, but I have to note that while Arizona's loons are sitting in jail/prison, Minnesota's loon is sitting in Congress. It would be fair for you to point out that our Bat Shit Crazy Rep wields a weapon more powerful than a gun or car, but so far she has done nothing more than wave it around on Faux.

I agree with you that crazy is all over, but you are hinging your statement on a false equivalency.

[Tansy_Gold]

46. The comment to which I replied

simply stated that Arizona + sun = fried brains. I never denied that we have our crazies.

However, Arizona has also produced a few notables -- myself excluded because I was born in Chicago -- including the aforementioned Giffords and Grijalva. I could point out some of the non-political crazies bred and born and raised in, oh, Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, Louisiana, Maine, or anywhere else. My point was to indicate the unfairness and inaccuracy of the statement "Arizona + sun = fried brains."

Because to be sure not all Arizona's crazies commit crimes for which they go to jail. Brewer, Arpaio, Babeu, Thomas, and a bunch of others are still running free. Symington's one of the few politicians who actually did time.

[Thor_MN]

66. The OP referenced the woman that drove her car over her husband.

in absence of any names in the post you responded to, that leaves us with a context of the woman who ran down her husband. Who you then equated with Bachmann. I pointed out that you used a false equivalency and then you compounded by citing many more names.

I agree with you that crazy is all over, you just haven't made a good case to support your point.

[Tansy_Gold]

67. Except for the fact that

The post I replied to only mentioned Arizona + sun = fried brains.

I was replying to that post, not to the OP.

There have been others on DU today who are suggesting the broad brush remarks are a bit insensitive. I concur. And I think you're just trying to start something. You can start it on your own, since you apparently don't care to actually read what I've written, or else it doesn't penetrate.

Adiós.

[Thor_MN]

68. No, you've choosen to double down on your false equivalency

Not a big deal, since you are correct, you just got there the wrong way. If you have a problem with that would be, well, your problem.

[just1voice]

9. Her family will face hardship now, DOH!

Happened sooner than she thunk it!

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

17. Maybe it's the "Rovian, We Create Our Own Reality" syndrome...?

Hope it's not catching...

[theHandpuppet]

20. Of course, that family will need Obamacare now

... not to mention a divorce lawyer.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

10. Believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.

So she made it happen. Now I am sure it will be all the presidents fault.

So if you were on the jury, and her lawyer claimed she had "Fox News Syndrome",would you let her off ?

[Bluestar]

11. They are losing it, folks

Let's be careful out there.

[4saken]

12. Wow, irrational AND insane. She probably didn't even know the circumstances of Obama's win.Az+10%Rom

[Shilo]

15. I am sorry but I cannot stop laughing at this one even though

its not supposed to be funny

[davidpdx]

22. It's so ridiculous it's really hard to believe

As I said in the other thread about this, I'd hate to see what she did to him when he leaves dishes in the sink. Egads!

[cantbeserious]

18. Early Onset Dementia Brought To Us By Watching Too Much Fox News

[Pachamama]

23. Is Romnesia a symptom?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. The members of the Stupid Party are dangerous. No joke. nt

[Franker65]

21. Another motive

She probably just used that an excuse to run him over for something else he did...

[KurtNYC]

36. that would make more sense

they have some spat that she doesn't want to make public -- an affair, theft, etc. So when the cops come for her she blames Obama.

[think]

24. Arizona just needs to cut funding for mental health again and this will all go away......

26. Obama derangment syndrome. I thought one of me Repug friends was going to cry Wednesday morning

[hobbit709]

27. Wonder if there'll be a divorce in their future.

And if convicted won't she lose her voting rights?

[Crunchy Frog]

50. Every marriage has its rough patches.

I'm sure that they'll be able to get past this little bump.

[hobbit709]

54. Getting chased down and run over is a bit more than just a little bump.

[Crunchy Frog]

57. If they truly care about each other and their marriage

they will find a way to work things through.

I did say "little bump" but I don't know the husband's size, so it may have been bigger.

[Walk away]

28. I really wish that the normal people in Arizona whould hurry up and take back their State...

from the complete loonies! Come on!!! Get all of your Democratic friends and family from out of state to move there,vote and commit these freaks to a great big State Mental Institution for Crazy Republicans!

[Bosso 63]

29. The moral is - Don't sleep wth republicans.

[Moosepoop]

30. She could use some of that

wisdom of Solomon

[Ganja Ninja]

32. Ain't love grand.

If I was married to her I would have laid down and accepted it as sweet relief.

[mysuzuki2]

34. Bedfellows make strange politics.

35. The internal repug war starts now!

[mcdeavitt]

37. My Life in AZ hell!

It does not surprise me in the least this person is from Arizona. Especially Mesa! It just needs to be annexed by Salt Lake City. I see and hear these people all day every day from the confines of my barber chair. We're like bar tenders cause we hear it all, and in my part of the valley its very strongly conservatard too!

As a part owner of a barber shop here in Glendale, AZ and "let me tell you something!" (in my best Firemarshall Bill voice) getting my business partner to turn off the Faux News during business hours was like pulling teeth from a rabid coyote! Funny how no matter how many facts you present them or how badly their "news" source fails them, they are undaunted in their ignorance. These are intelligent people but their willful ignorance goes much deeper than that. Just like in religion if you're told something from the very beginning you'll most like not challenge the information. Reminds me of the zealots blowing up abortion clinics saying they were saving the life of the child.

Killing for peace is like fucking for chastity! --author unknown

I used to say Arizona was on the fast track to Kentucky status, in regards to our education system. Then I did some checking and found we've already surpassed them and a couple other states for the honor of being the 44th worst in the US.

[Fla Dem]

38. Well, at least one less crazy RW voter in the forseeable future. She be doing time. n/t

[struggle4progress]

39. I really never realized this was one of my options for dealing with people

who don't vote the way I want them to vote

Perhaps I should re-evaluate how I spend my time before elections

I mean, I had been going around doing all this tedious stuff, like registering people to vote

But my life might be simpler, if I could just tell folk, Look, you vote my way or I'll come run you down with my car!

I guess I never have been very good at this politics stuff

[JudyM]

42. LOL! nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

40. Yikes, that's taking GOTV to a whole new level!

An unsuccessful one at that.
I do think that rides to the poles are a good idea. But cattle driving the reluctant voters?
Maybe not so much

[Tommy_Carcetti]

43. Glad to see my mother in law in the news. nt

[Odin2005]

44. Get her on lithium, sounds like manic behavior.

100 bucks says she's undiagnosed Bipolar.

[wordpix]

45. TomCA, this woman cannot fathom the facts in your brief analysis about AZ

she is both low info and low IQ so giving her the facts does not compute

[Spitfire of ATJ]

48. The core of Right Wing thinking is violence is a solution....

That is why when you talk diplomacy they scoff at the notion.

They will not be happy until the Middle East is carpet nuked.

They want to KILL their opposition.

It's the "Death to all who oppose us" mindset.

This is also why they didn't mind seeing torture. They LIKED the fact that we were hurting people.

They wanted to do it to us at the time.

Obey or die.

[4th law of robotics]

49. Charged with domestic violence. Not attempted murder

I'm sure that if the genders were reversed those charges would have been the same.

Yeah . . .

[Sekhmets Daughter]

53. Ya' think?

While it is totally wrong to laugh at a story like this, I must admit to having a good chuckle over "The stupid is strong in this one"

[slackmaster]

55. Mentally ill is as mentally ill does.

I hope the man makes a full recovery and prospers from his divorce settlement.

I hope that poor woman gets the help she desperately needs.

[navarth]

56. The future Mrs. Ted Nugent!!!

"The stupid is stong in this one." LOL

[Blue_Tires]

58. I'm getting the feeling this is about something a little bigger than the election

these two had problems...

[Ash_F]

59. Well, that's one way to GOTV. /nt

[LaPera]

61. These are the kind of nutcases who are in the republican party....obviously a lot more craziness

in this particular nutcase going down than just the dude not voting!

[olddad56]

62. sounds like a person suffering from FNS (Faux News Syndrome).

this sort of stuff can happen to people who get all of their news from Faux. What we need is a 12 step program for people suffering from FNS. Where the hell is Dr. Phil when you need him.

[Megahurtz]

63. Wow

she looks mean.

What's she afraid of? Do they have lots of money or something? Of course that's what it always comes down to with financially gluttonous Republicans. They could give a rats-ass about anyone less fortunate than them. "Me me I got mine fuck you!"

[Marrah_G]

64. My bet is undiagnosed mental disorder or addiction

I also would bet she doesn't have health insurance.

I want to laugh at this, but I feel to badly for her children and husband. This sort of delusional, paranoid thinking is so harmful to the people around them.

[Momgonepostal]

65. I'd like to be there when someone finally explains...

...the electoral college to that nutjob.
