Remember Ashley Todd the crazy B lady from 2008? Well the crazies got crazier.

[TheBigotBasher]

A day after Bethany Storro's revelation turned the victim who drew worldwide sympathy into a curiosity and the object of much derision, few who banded together here to collect money for her medical bills were angry with her on Friday.

They were just puzzled: What could bring the 28-year-old grocery store worker to disfigure herself in such a public way, and invent a tale about a black woman assaulting her with a cup of acid?

Friend John Pax, whose gym hosted a fundraiser that netted nearly $1,000, said no one has asked for their money back yet. "No one's angry," he said. "We just worry about her."

What could have driven this woman?



The same thing that pushed this woman to do this



Racism and a desire for 15 minutes of fame.

The more you hear from Republicans the more you understand it is a cult. What will stupid Republicans do next? I have a suggestion.

1. also religious, also blamed a black person. serious crazy here.

what sort of things are the winger wackos teaching their people that it's a common idea?

"hey, i think i'll harm myself, blame a black person, & use it as a come-to-jesus moment?"

[TheBigotBasher]

2. Why did people fall for it AGAIN?

Even Oprah fell for it.

It had all the tell tail signs of Todd.

[Hannah Bell]

3. you know, black people are always doing that stuff - walking up to people, carving letters on

them, throwing acid on them - how can you blame people for believing again?

[LiberalAndProud]

8. How so?

I did fall for it. That is to say, I believed the woman because I saw no reason to disbelieve it.

Todd scratched herself with her fingernail. This woman threw acid on her own face. My god! So severity of injury is not the measure.

Please enlighten me as to signs I should be aware of.

13. if they say some black person that they didn't know just walked up to them & did the deed, saying in

an evil voice, "hey, you pretty white person, here's for you!"

[madmax]

4. The black man, the bushy haired stranger et.al. nt

[TheBigotBasher]

7. All the same rubbish all over again.

5. Christian nutbag....

It mentions that she wanted to talk about her faith and she cancelled Oprah because she was afraid they would want to talk about something else.

On her Facebook, Storro had said she walked away from the interview because the show might stray from the religious inspiration she planned to deliver.

Storro said she held the news conference then to draw attention to efforts to find the attacker, but also to talk about her faith.

"I'm here today because of Jesus Christ," she said at the time, adding that the strength of her faith would allow her to move forward.

6. In what bible does Jesus encourage fraud?

[Brickbat]

9. She's a Republican?

I hope she gets the help she needs.

[TheBigotBasher]

14. Not if there is a pre-existing condition though.

She does need help though.

[canetoad]

10. Anyone seen the composite sketch

of her attacker?



Discount the earings and the fact it's supposed to be a female face. Who do the features remind you of?

Now that we know there are some serious mental issues going on with this woman, she has been asked to provide a description of a black face. To me, this resembles the most recognisable black face in the USA. The President.

17. It's the modern version of "Witch Molly's blackbird soured all our beer." She's mentally ill.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. She could get the word out about Jeeebus, and get a book deal.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable motivation for self-mutilation. :eyes:
