Woman wrongfully arrested, forced to listen to Rush Limbaugh (not the Onion)
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/10/09/201...
*snip*
In a lawsuit filed last week over the Oct. 4, 2010 incident, Bridgett Nickerson Boyd said her trouble began when she noticed her engine steaming and pulled over to the side of the highway, the Houston Chronicle reported. As she was pulling over, sheriff's deputy Mark Goad pulled behind her – and then arrested her for driving on the shoulder.
To make a bad day even worse, her heart began racing dangerously fast and she had to go to the hospital, according to the report. Goad followed her there – and then rearrested her once she was treated.
The final straw came when he then put her in the back of his car and cranked up the conservative talk show host – who was making "derogatory comments about black people" all the way to jail, Boyd charged.
All of the charges against her were almost immediately dismissed by a magistrate.

1. If someone forced me to listen to Limbaugh, I'd want them to get the death penalty. And I am against
capital punishment!

2. Waterboarding
if there was ever a call for it this would be it. If it was Michael Savage I'd add forcible removal of fingernails.

8. I agree she should get an award, but......
it should be no more than say $500,000,000 + legal expenses.

16. Texas: The New Mordor!
Evil assholes. Despicable cretins.
Texas is always threatening to secede from the union...
Is there any way we could get 'er forcibly ejected from same?
I hope this lady wins A ZILLION dollars from those ****ers!
K&R!
I'm still wondering how a lady who is arrested at 9 am in Texas can be forced to listen to Rush in a car when he doesn't come on until 11 AM CST.
