Obviously she has mental health issues & needs help. Not jail!!! Get her help.
@Doreen… don’t you just wish there were more “powers that be” and law enforcement, who would assume these same fundamental ideologies? Thank YOU, for saying what’s right, and not spewing hate. God bless…
Mental Health my foot…it’s called CRYSTAL METH!!! I’m sick of EVERYONE blaming mental illness and it’s Clearly DRUG ADDICTION. This woman needs to be sanitized from the filth and jailed.
