Crazy Florida couple blame the black man

http://www.inquisitr.com/4469160/florida-couple-black-man/
<snip>
A couple in Avon Park, Florida, called the cops early Monday morning with a horrifying story of what appeared to be a possible race-related violent crime, according to sheriff’s deputies in Highlands County. But when investigators grilled the couple, the real story quickly came out. But why the pair, who are both white, attempted to pin the attack on an African American man — who as it turned out, did not exist — remains unclear.

Here’s what happened, according to a report issued on Tuesday by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office. The deputies said that they received a call at about 5:30 a.m. on Monday from Christina Ann MacCornack, 28, who told the deputies that she had been sitting on her front porch with her boyfriend, 27-year-old Christopher Thomas Jacobs, when a black man with a Mohawk hairstyle attacked both of them for unknown reasons.

Jacobs suffered a stab wound to the stomach, while MacCornack was wounded on one of her legs. But as the investigators quickly learned, the wounds were inflicted not by an unidentified, Mohawk-sporting African American man — but by each other during a violent and bizarre domestic violence incident, according to a report in The Palm Beach Post.

According to the sheriff’s office report as recounted by WFTS News in Tampa Bay, it had already been a rough night for Jacobs, who had just returned home from an overnight hospital stay. The man had been hospitalized after he attempted to change a light bulb the previous night — and electrocuted himself, almost fatally. But not quite.

The two then began arguing outside their home early Monday morning. The subject of their dispute — drugs. During the course of the argument, MacCornack attempted to get away, leaving the home. But she was naked at the time. Whether she had been nude during the entire argument on the porch, or prior to the fight, or whether she removed her clothing during the course of the domestic dispute was not made clear from the sheriff’s office account of the incident.

One did not even sell the light bulb to him I am going to guess

How do you almost kill yourself changing a lightbulb ?
How many racist liars does it take to safely change a lightbulb?

Highlands County, located in central Florida about 125 miles northwest of Palm Beach, has an overwhelmingly white population, according to DataUSA statistics. In 2015, the county had 68,044 white residents compared to 9,216 black residents. Hispanic residents numbered 17,963. In the 2016 presidential election, nearly 65 percent of voters in the county cast ballots for Donald Trump, compared to just under 37 percent for Hillary Clinton.


I can honestly see this sort of thing happening all the time behind closed WH doors. Somehow Melania, in a drug induced state, strips down, goes to "hug" Donald, and ends up stabbing him in the stomach (most likely with one of her stiletto heels). Kelly comes to intervene just as Donald decides he should tweet a pic of what Melania did to him and demand he receive another purple heart for it.

Susan..made a mistake in talking to the police...she said she got stopped at a red light, and a black man jumped into her car.(no one was around to see this) ..and then he, the black man kidnapped her and killed her children.....................................................................................................................
.....But there was a problem, the police knew right away she was lying..at.that particular corner, where she claimed it happened, could not have had a red light in that direction. The way she was traveling, (or something very similar to this) on that street, in that direction.. when no one was around.....always had the lights green...she couldn't have been stopped by a red light....and no black man could have jumped in..

.So even though the police knew she was lying about the black man from the beginning, they put out a bulletin, and waited..and waited. It was all over the news..But in reality, the police were waiting to get her into a situation and make her confess to the crime. After they found the dead children, in a lake,..they went after Susan Smith...and at the right time..got a full confession from her about the lie, and that she killed her own children..(She is serving a life jail term as you read these words)

now you ask this...why did I remember this?...I was teaching at the time, and presented this to all classes (high school) on the idea of "the big lie"...Susan presented the "big lie" to the police, and it was immediately noted as such. But the police did not accuse her at that time....they waited..and waited...and then .....got her to confess..............................................................................................
........I drew on the board pictures of the street and how Susan couldn't have been stopped..The police knew all along it was a lie..They just waited for the best time to get her to confess...Why teach something like this????....try to send the message to the high school students that the "big lie" doesn't work with the police..they will catch you..and....the big lie doesn't always work in life..that was another message I was trying to teach...I don't know if that was wise..the big lie..sometimes works..but that is what I tried to teach in 1996..

Here is a paragraph from the lead article......."The tragic case attracted worldwide attention and stirred racial tension after Smith initially told police that a black man had carjacked her and kidnapped her children. She tearfully pleaded for the kids to be returned. But nine days later, she admitted she pushed her car down the access ramp of John D. Long Lake with the kids in the back. ...........
.............................at least I tried..................

while suffering from post partum depression.

Susan Smith wanted to get rid of her kids because the man she was after didn't want to be with a woman who had kids.

Good luck with the storm.
