Sheriff Destroys Woman's Home
 
Have you heard about this? A Kentucky sheriff destroyed this poor woman's home. Listen to the comment about dumb hillbillies & take a look at the sheriff.

Whoa. Did you catch the part where there were 12 people living in that mobile home? Dayum.

Trilby 11-20-2008 05:02 PM

Well, hell. I do feel for her, but, woman! Two hundred dollars won't get your house moved! Even I know that!

The way I understood it, the sheriff wasn't calling them dumb hillbillies, he was talking about statements made by angry drivers and such.
She didn't get a reputable moving co, she didn't have insurance, public safety comes first. Bad traffic due to a major roadblock is definitely a safety issue.
I'm curious, did she agree to them trying to move the house (not that they needed her consent prob.) What solutions where presented before hand? I have a feeling that they would've tried to get her to call another co to come pick up the house and she refused trying to save money.
She hasn't sent her kid to school in three days because she can't salvage any changes of clothes? That's a ridiculous reason, school is more important.
I feel bad for her kids, I just don't feel bad for her or the other adults. They made bad decisions, they should have the brains to know not to just their WHOLE house to a company that doesn't even have insurance.

If the sheriff, who is in serious need of a few bacon cheeseburgers, had a little bit of compassion he might have arranged for a haywagon along with the two tractors to unload all of the woman's shit onto so she could at least have all of her possessions intact, albeit with nowhere to go. But he seemed to be following the dictates of duty or maybe just lack of imagination. I'm sure he was annoyed as hell and I'm sure we are just seeing the tip of the newspaper (sic) selling iceberg.

She doesn't know a good thing when it happens.

Did you get a look at his photo? I doubt he has any room to call anyone a hillbilly.

I feel sorry for her. Ya'll are some cold hearted folks

I think the intention was for the mobile home to just scoot sideways off the roadway. I think the 'toppling over, rolling down the embankment and being totally destroyed' thing was an accident.

It was the problem lies in that the original movers got it stuck halfway on the road and then the sheriff believed it had to be moved. In the process it fell over and was destroyed.

I feel bad that she lost her house too, but WTF? What happened to the original movers?

When god gives you lemons he opens a window.

That's so you can throw the lemon out when he's not looking.

Sundae 11-21-2008 05:06 AM

It doesn't play for me.
Damn - sounds fascinating.
Especially the bit about the lemons.

Cicero 11-21-2008 11:00 AM

Naaah I feel bad for her. Don't count me in the hating group. No one there is professional: not the moving company, not the sheriff, not anyone in the household, and it's just all bad all the way around.

Sheriff's can't comment on the grade of movers you choose to hire. He needs to be out there serving tickets and writing reports on the movers, not judging the woman's personal choices. If she had paid 2000 dollars what would his excuse be for not handing out tickets to the movers or claiming any personal responsibility for his actions.

It's like Louis CK says. Everyone hates white trash.
