Jennifer McCarthy Pulls Gun From Vagina After Dispute Over Space Aliens: Cops

"While cleaning the chamber, McCarthy reportedly posed the question, "Who is crazy, you or me?" before pulling out the gun and pointing it at her boyfriend's head, the Albuquerque Journal reported. The boyfriend told deputies he wrested the weapon away from her and put it first in the toilet, then the trash can."

"Who is crazy, you or me?" sounds Rhetorical to me.

Again, not in Florida.

On edit: Holy shit, that was Cormac McCarthy's ex wife?

Again, this took place no where in the State of Florida.

I missed this last line when I read it the first time.

"McCarthy was charged with aggravated assault on a household member."

Chafing? If she had properly cleaned and lubricated her gun she might have not been so cranky.

Apparently a vagina can't be considered a member? Sounds like a gender war is needed. Why can't a vagina be a member too? It's discrimination! I used to have a "Members Only" jacket but that was back when I acted like a Dick.

not impressed.

But I did do a double-take at "cleaning the chamber" - I think the HuffPost writer had a bit too much fun there...

This is a different kind of crazy from a person with a similar name. Strangely enough, they argued about Space Aliens and that is the least weird thing about this story.

STATEMENT OF JENNIFER McCARTHY
I would like to put recent media reports of my arrest in a more complete and more accurate context. I made the 911 call after having been choked, pushed to the floor and hit in the face by a drunken Mark Paleologo on Saturday morning following a silly argument the evening before.
As can be heard on the 911 call, when I described this attack to the dispatcher, Mr. Paleologo never denied the allegations even though he talked to the dispatcher at the same time I did. By the time the police arrived Mr. Paleologo had settled down, and I told them almost nothing of what I had already described to the 911 dispatcher. My call to 911 obviously de-escalated the situation and at that point I thought the matter was resolved and did not require further law enforcement attention. Consequently I tried to protect Mr. Paleologo and minimized the attack to the officer.
At no time did I point a gun at Mr. Paleologo. At no time did I place a gun or any weapon anywhere in my body.
Unfortunately, Mark’s preposterous version of events was repeated in the complaint and resulted in my arrest, and the sensationalization of Mr. Paleologo’s fabrication has spread throughout the media everywhere, not only affecting me but my family as well. I appreciate the support of my friends and the strength of my family, especially my son and his father, and I look forward to a full investigation of this matter.

Here's a different case.

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/loaded-gun-in-vagina-sentencing-576342

"Investigators subsequently identified the weapon as a Freedom Arms .22-caliber handgun, which was loaded with three live rounds and one spent shell. The police report notes that “gun located in suspect vagina.”

During processing at the jail, Harris balked when directed to lower her underwear so that a female officer could check for contraband. She “advised that she was on her period and did not want to,” cops noted.

After Harris complied with police, Officer Kathy Unbewust reported, “I observed at that time a wooden and metal item sticking out from her vagina area.” Unbewust then “pulled the item from her vagina, and found it to be a 5 shot revolver with rounds in the chamber.”

Do you have any idea at all how much heartache this bogus story is causing Jennifer and her family?

I did not expect to find smart, progressive DU people joking about this and pretty much treating it as if it were true without any verification at all. And, by the way, I was merely correcting the name.. I was not castigating anyone.

Head-smacker.

Pay attention. Follow the thread.

I did not post this story. This was posted by mockmoney to prove that a woman could stash a pistol in her vagina, not necessarily Jenny McCarthy. I quoted from that story, to show how unlikely it was.

Pay attention.

Actually, this kind of exchange is one of the reasons I don't come here all that much anymore.

I know you will probably have something snarky to say to that, but it really is a shame.

Sorry you took it personally. I will refrain from responding to these posts in the future.
