what the FRAK is this??

Woman tortured for at least a week, officials say - CNN.com

stereotypes about the south aside (did you see the photos of the people arrested?), what the hell - ??!!

between the Jena 6 thing and this craziness, i'd say the south is experiencing a serious timewarp.

Update: a little more on the story here. it seems the folks who held her prisoner had more than one brush with the law. serious banjo-picking craziness, here.

and shakesville has a rather ranty post about it over here and someone wants to know why 'hate crime' and not 'act of terrorism'? (there's also a fleshed out baltimore article that you can find on shakesville, too.)

alas, a blog has a post on it here, too.

Day-umn.

How lovely that two of the six arrested are mother and son. I'm thinking she didn't raise that boy right.

there's also a mother/daughter pair.
love those southern family values.

Is it inappropriate to say, "Shame what inbreeding does to a family's intelligence"?

looking at their photos, i'd say a truer word hasn't been said.
