I think the diaper thing may be a hold-over from astronaut training. There are situations where you may get stuck in a flight deck seat for many hours at a time. Alan Sheperd ended up needing to pee into his space suit while waiting for launch on an early Mercury-Redstone mission; thereafter when all the astronauts were male a condom-like "urine collection device" was sufficient. These days they use a diaper.

But she didn't have it with her when she confronted her victim. She had a BB gun and some pepper spray. Edit: Ah crap. I read the article wrong. I thought the knife was in the car. Nevermind. Last edited by glatt; 02-06-2007 at 08:53 PM. |

Could she have had all the stuff and the plan ready and was just waiting for an opportunity? Or is she just completely and uttely off her rocker? In which case charges should be level at the shrinks who OK the astronauts. One rarely suddenly goes this nuts -it takes time. Strange days.

Looking at her pic and the story, it looks like the lady is borderline maybe psychotic and for sure in dire need of medication and psychiatric treatment. A very sad case for all involved.

Oh, and by the way, this changes my attitude almost completely. If she took a big knife like that to the confrontation, she was prepared to use deadly force in the event of an escalation. And since she was the one doing all the escalating, it's quite possible she went there intending to stab her "rival." Throw the book at her.

Ah, but see the beauty of being able to tell if someone is insane by hairstyle only is that you can then forgo having to do a more covert and possibly intime assessment. In other words, you don't have to find out whether they are indeed wearing adult diapers.

Inquiring minds want to know...had she taken the diapers off before she was arrested? It would be hell to go to jail with diaper rash.
She was released on bail by day's end, or so read the last news report I saw.

So if you were her, what's next? You've got the ankle bracelet, but you are free. Your husband(?) comes to pick you up. What can you possibly say at that point to him? If you were her husband, would you stand by your partner? Or kick her out of the house? If you were her, would you try to move forward or just kill yourself? Do you show up at work like nothing had happened? Will NASA put her on leave? Fire her? Find some back room job for her? She's got to know she's going to prison for some amount of time. Maybe she's hoping it will be just a couple years, and she'll come out with a shawl knitted by one of the other prisoners?
Her poor fucking family. So many freaking questions. Inquiring minds really want to know. |
