@tao... you were one of those who was on the attack and continue to do so.

Mike, spare me. I'm attacking her ideas and the way she expressed them, as well as her choice to publish that weird car picture. Those things are fair game - ridiculously easy game, in fact.

@tao... so your comment "you're a tiredly thrashing kindergarten bully" is not a personal attack? Call it what you want tao... but you are just as guilty as those posting her personal information.

Mike,

Based on past experience, I don't expect you to be interested in, or capable of, comprehending the difference between "personal attacks" of the sort that got Noelle's comment section shut down, and the type of perfectly legit criticism of one's arguments and/or lack of reasoning faculties that I'm engaging in with you. If you've said stupid things (such as the above), I'll point that out. If you've said racist things, I'll point that out. If you're "HE Pennypacker", and you have an unnatural fascination with people's fat wives, pantywaists, and a host of other bizarre topics, then you're open to any type baseless insult that may occur to me at the time.

However, those things are all different from trying to "out" someone's identity, or CCAPing someone who's not interested in using an alias, and trying to slander them for past crimes, debts, etc. That's what was out of line.

The fact that you're being so happily ignorant of that distinction is a problem for you, not for me.

@Michael Hintze...You need to listen to Bob and evaluate the position that you're taking. When someone decides to post blogs, they must be prepared for the reactions. I didn't come across Noelle's blog until later and I saw comments coming from people on both the right and the left commenting on her divisive piece.

This idea that somehow a sleeping giant has been awakened is ridiculous. It was only an election not a revolution. People on the left were routinely criticized for their recall efforts of the governor and state senators. When the recall failed, for the most part, people have accepted the outcome and moved on. Dialing back the rhetoric to reasonable levels is the first step in healing the divide. It seems that neither you nor Noelle got the message and understand the next steps.

It's complete shenanigans. Nobody burned her car. Just a juvenile attempt to stir the pot.

@Keith Best...Except for the left wing nuts, who are carrying on, the majority of the main stream left has accepted that Scott Walker is our governor along with the Republican controlled legislature. You can live in your fantasy world about the deviousness of the left, but it's politics as usual. Are you really claiming that the right isn't just as devious? I wonder how tied in you are along with the rest of the Waukesha Republicans and the Noelle Lorraine fiasco. Keith, your extremism skirts are showing.

As a recall supporter, I never challenged Scott Walker's election to the office. I did challenge his complete about-face once in office, embarking on an agenda that he did not run on. I believed that the people of Wisconsin should have the right to vote for the "real" Scott Walker.

All we as voters can do today is research our candidates to the best of our ability and hope for a good outcome. Like any employee hire, a candidate can interview wonderfully and then not live up to expectations, and that is a disappointment. Or they have lied about their expertise, etc., and then hard decisions have to be made.

What was Walker's "complete about-face"? I don't think that he misrepresented himself at all...

Bren voted for Governor Walker (the first time) because he said that he was going to expand collective bargaining, unballance the budget and raise taxes.

I don't know, his agenda seemed crystal clear to me.

Campaigning on a Jobs Jobs Jobs platform, balancing the budget according to GAAP and negotiating with public employees, then "dropping the bomb" on public employee unions, focusing on diddling in the public high school sex education curriculum instead of Jobs Jobs Jobs, and restructuring debt (with an additional $20 million in new interest ) I call an about-face.

Greg, I did not vote for Scott Walker because I was familiar with his work (wherein "work" is defined as "incompetence") as Milwaukee County Executive. I knew he lacked the intellectual and educational tools for the job. He has however, done a wonderful job of "dropping the bomb," "divide and conquer," etc. These are the goals of his benefactors.

@Bren -

Could you please explain, specifically, where Walker has been deficient in pushing legislation that encourages private sector job growth? What would you like to see him do more of to encourage private sector job growth - more tax breaks?

And please explain, for the millionth time now, what additional cuts you would have made in the budget to avoid restructuring some previously acquired debt.

"I knew he lacked the... educational tools for the job."

And what exactly are the "educational tools" required to head an executive branch of government?

Bren:

You fault Walker for running on a jobs platform and then spending some time on sex ed curriculum? If you aren't a hypocrite, you must have refused to vote for Obama because he ran on a jobs platform, but spent time on Obamacare.

Walker balanced the budget as promised.

We've talked about the 'negotiating with public employees' issue before. It was the unions that made that choice, not Walker. They told Walker that they are unwilling to negotiate.

Cow, Walker said he would balance the budget according to GAAP. All of the budget cuts didn't balance the budget. Debt was restructured. The only difference between Walker and Doyle was that Doyle took on new debt, Walker took on new interest charges. With all of the slashes to education, etc., $20 million in new interest charges and restructured, not paid down debt, dissatisfies me.

I don't recall Walker mentioning GAAP once during his campaigning...

Doyle restructured debt as well. Lots of ordinary citizens do the same with their personal finances. I guess you might be opposed to refinancing, but others see it as an effective way to lower their debt payments. Personally, I see it as a much better alternative to raising taxes during a recession or cutting even more spending from the budget.

A balanced budget is required by our State Constitution. The budget is balanced using cash accounting. Doyle followed cash accounting, too.

Bren is correct;Walker campaigned on following following GAAP and has not yet met that commitment.

Hoffa has accurately explained the debt restructuring on many,many occasions. I could do it again, but Bren will liely insist on sticking with the Democrat talking points, rather than the accounting rules and how restructuring helped cash flow.

I place the "balanced budget following GAAP" and "250,000 new jobs by the end of my first term" and "I will negotiate with public employee unions" memes under the same heading: "I will say anything to get elected."

Logic suggested at the time that memes #1 and #2 were fantastical given the recession. Meme #3 was questionable because of Walker's expensive antics with public employees while Milwaukee County Executive. These are reasons why I didn't vote for him. A reasonable campaign platform would have been to promise work toward a balance budget following GAAP, working toward creating new jobs and robust state economy, and negotiating in good faith with public employee unions. In the over-the-top industry of politics, these promises were beyond the pale. Why make such outrageous promises when there was absolutely no need? Even without my personal understanding of Walker's budget antics this would have raised the red flag.

How are we better off now than under Doyle? We're not. We have new debt to the tune of $20 million in new interest charges; displaced workers and other low income people have been thrown out of programs needed for these situations, nearly $1 billion cut from K-12 public education, etc. People were misled, and worst of all, our governor is a puppet for a national special interest group. We needed someone with a strong economics and law background and we elected a college dropout who can't read a budget or contract properly. Sigh.

Bren:

I stand corrected on the GAAP claim, but the budget was still balanced under the same accounting methods as Doyle used. You are still wrong about your union negotiation claim.

As far as the '$20 million in new interest' claim you keep repeating, the state debt has actually decreased by $1,554,157,000 from FY12 to FY13. If it took $20 million in new interest to do that, I'm OK with it.

"Wisconsin has a total state debt of approximately $79,600,643,000 when calculated by adding the total of outstanding official debt, pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities, Unemployment Trust Fund loans, and the budget gap. The FY2013 state debt total is less than the prior year's approximately debt total of $81,154,800,000."

http://sunshinereview.org/index.php/Wisconsin_state_budget

You seem to be moving away from your 'Walker did an about-face' claim by clouding the discussion with your 'are we better off now?' comments.

Cow, my point was, why make claims that "you" (Scott Walker) could achieve goals that your better-educated and more experienced predecessor could not? Illogical. It's absolutely no surprise that Walker couldn't achieve a balanced budget following GAAP or that the 250,000 new job goal is an impossibility. Even though it's a politician's job to b.s., this was/is out of orbit. Why. Just to get elected.

I'm not wrong about negotiating with public employee unions, it's video documented. I've posted the link before, as have others. Again, why. Just to get elected.

Since we've had some time with Mr. Walker (when he isn't out-of-state preaching at "conservative" think tanks, etc.) I think it's fair to start looking at where we are now. He made claims that were unmeetable, then once in office pushed those aside focused on ALEC legislation. ALEC union stripping, ALEC corporate tax cuts, ALEC concealed carry/Stand Your Ground, ALEC voter ID, etc. That's why I supported the recall. With enough people around him to prop him up, he probably could have masked his incompetence with a reasonable platform. But at least it's all out there for people to see.

Bren:

Your point was that you claimed that Walker did an 'about-face' after he was elected, and that he 'embarked on an agenda that he did not run on'.

I rate your claim as false. He may have set some unrealistic goals, but he hasn't done the 'about-face' that you are claiming.

Walker was told by the union heads (before he even took office) that there was no point in trying to negotiate with the union--they were unwilling to do so. You cannot fault Walker for failing to keep his word when the union stated that they would not negotiate with him.

prayers? for what, are you ill?

The police department and a previous Patch story raised those doubts. Stop blaming others.

next time don't drop your hot meth pipe on your seat...derp...

It's odd that this crime isn't showing up on Muskego PD's crime report. There are two vehicle damage reports, but both date to late October.
http://webapps.ci.muskego.wi.us/crimewatch/

@stephan murdock -- Dude, we really don't need this kind of comment.

i think its a valid point...and is the reason this fake burnt car is even a issue...stupid fake knotz...

Her comment isn't much different from what those on your side had been saying about GW Bush when he was in office. Was it considered 'sedition' back then?

I can't take responsibility for what independents say or write, Cow.

Concerning George W. Bush, dissecting the known facts (for example claims about Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction which were debunked by experts months before the invasion of Iraq), is very different from making a baseless, indefensible, and highly offensive remark such as "I am sorry the Constitution is a worthless document to the leader of the free world."

Challenging misleading statements by politicians is not sedition. Inferring that a President of the United States (and by association, his entire administration) is disdainful of our Constitution (and by inference, working against it) most certainly is. And I will challenge those types of remarks whenever I see them.

No, but you should call them out for their alleged sedition if you are going to call out those on the 'other' side of the aisle. Not only don't you call them out, you seem to reward and/or encourage them. For example, you seem to regularly applaud Mr. Patzfahl for the baseless, indefensible and highly offensive remarks he includes in most of his blog articles.

Not that we need to revisit the issues of the Bush administration, but the accusations against GW Bush had more to do with the Patriot Act and/or Gitmo than anything he said about Saddam. Funny how everyone seems to have 'forgotten' about Obama's pledge to close Gitmo and stop the practice of detaining prisoners without filing charges against them...

Bren- it is your right to disagree. Just leave your lighter and gas can at home. If this type of activity continues, we are facing a civil war. I have yet to hear of any homes with Obama signs out front being firebombed. If that does happen and there is additional retaliation, we are facing a crap fest like the US has never seen before. It will come down to the takers vs. the makers- I doubt the makers will let it go very easily.

Bren, how is that comment seditious? It in no way implies that we need to rebel. In fact, it subtly charges B.O. with sedition by failing to " preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States".

And while I will blast attempts to censure people's thoughts and beliefs, many of those comments Michael refers to crossed an ethical line, if not a legal one!

Good grief, Craig. As far as I can see, there's no reason yet to believe that this car fire

1. - actually happened
2. - was committed by someone other that the owner
3. - was politically motivated in any way

Ask yourself why you're so eager to point to this incident as a politically motivated attack. There's just no reason to do that, unless one has an agenda that would benefit from such occurrences. Don't try to gin up persecution of conservatives where none has been proven.

Tao:

Why are you so eager to dismiss the car fire as fabrication? There are lots of nuts in the world that have a deep hatred for conservatives, and would do this sort of thing...

Cow, Jason writes satirical articles and not everyone cares for or understands satire (you do). The tone of Ms. Lorraine's article could not be interpreted as satire.

All I can say about Gitmo is that I'm disappointed that it's still open and there had to be compelling reasons why it is. Candidates don't have all of the national security information, nor should they. The entire U.S. presence in Cuba since Castro is controversial to say the least, something about a nominal U.S. land lease payment check being cashed early in the Castro regime, providing the position that Castro accepted the continued U.S. presence in the region by cashing the check and this is a legally binding agreement.

Craig, I'll definitely "leave the lighter and gas can at home." If this is an inference about the image of the rusted, burned out older vehicle that Ms. Lorraine posted on her article, I shall suspend disbelief about the story's veracity until I see a news report. When a car burns, it smells and there's a lot of smoke. And it makes some noise, too. Hard to ignore. In other parts of the world where people are fighting for their lives or suffering in refugee camps because of tyrannical regimes, I can't similarly compare our domestic disagreements.

Anti, the remark is inflammatory and infers that a situation exists that must be rectified. As such it is inciteful in my view. And I completely agree with you about the ethical line.

Give it a rest, Dung - I'm just stating the limits of what's known, and refraining from jumping to conclusions. See my previous post for a list of conclusions that are currently premature.

Bren:

Jason has also written what he believes to be factual articles as well. He has made baseless accusations against many--Walker, Romney, Ryan, his 'neanderthal neighbors' and even the Waukesha wastewater treatment plant. More often than not, you post in support of Jason's opinions rather than hold him accountable when he's wrong.

Much of what Jason writes is satirical, with basis in fact. Someone who hasn't done their research wouldn't know that. And he's been on the receiving end of some/quite a few personal attacks here on Patch as well.

Tao, Bren and friends: Noelle clearly stated, " As of this am there is an official arson investigation under way headed by Sgt.. Consteanu of the Muskego PD. That is all I can say at this time. Whatever you'd like to try and find out through them is perfectly fine with me."
Before you call someone a liar, at least due your due diligence and investigate it a little further. To jump to conclusions that one would pretend this happened is as bad as the act of arson itself.
Bren; as to the condition of the car...does it matter if it is a 2012 Lexus or a 1980 Chevette? I think not. Someone burns my property, they better damn well hope the cops get them before me. My ten year old Chevy Impala has a little rust on it, I certainly don't feel the need to replace it with a new $35,000 Impala because of that.

OK Bren, then perhaps you can explain how it is at all factual for Jason to make the claim that the Waukesha WWTP is going to contaminate the Root River by sending 'flushed toilet water full of poop' to Oak Creek. Was that supposed to be satire, and we really weren't supposed to call Sanfelippo's office to complain about the plan to put poop in the Root River?

Craig, I wrote that I would suspend disbelief about the car, that's the best I can offer.

Cow, I wouldn't call any politician to complain about anything unless I was armed with facts. While information posted in an article or comment may lead to an exploration of discovery, I can't and won't accept anything I read at face value. One can write anything.

@Bren Mr. Ruble cannot even defend his own blogs adequately, let alone speak before our Congress or the United Nations without first contradicting himself every chance he gets.

Bren - if your excuses were nails you could build a house.

Michael, I disagree with your view of Mr. Ruble's discourse. I find his analytical skills to be brilliantly astute. An extraordinary intellect.

Ima, I'm looking for any excuses I have made in this thread. That's going to be a very small house. ; )

@Bren Does that include his contempt for white men and his current disavowing of any common moral standards within our society? Yeah, pretty brilliant.

Ima: I think Bren has been tentative, but not critical on this topic. I can not disagree with Bren without having more information to support of nullify the claim. I am by nature a trusting person, and I trust Noelle at her word.
That being said, you mention the excuses and nails...My dad used to say, "If bullshit was music, you'd be a brass band!"
Thanks for the reminder. ;-P

Michael, you are entitled to your own interpretations, certainly.

@Bren -

Just admit that you're enamored with and constantly in awe of Hoffa's clearly superior intellect ;-)

Random, Mr. Hoffa! ; )

No insult to you intended, but the limits of my intellect have yet to be reached. We'll compare notes when it is.

Not me....Micheal said "Awaken a Sleeping Giant". Micheal said you are a "Sleeping Giant". I would never make a personal attack against someone

If that were in fact the case, you would not need people to come to your defense nor would you feel the need to comment after your blog was posted. I am VERY familiar with the tactics that your buddies, the KNOTbillies perpetrate. I would say for that alone, there is guilt by association and one would find it hard to believe anything you claim. I doubt that your car was torched because of your political affiliation more likely it was directed at you as a person and therefore done for personal reasons. Being the drama queen you are, you are using it as fuel in your fight, which in it's self quite pathetic Why must republicans always try to prove THEY are being persecuted for their beliefs? I guess it's really hard being white.

Christ Eve; take a Midol and eat some chocolate ice cream. Just because you can't make use of your free birth control this week doesn't give you free reign to be a bitch.

@EveK
You reference a bar event. I was present at that event. You were not. How is it that you proclaim to know "truth" regarding this subject? Your willingness to outright claim truth here makes me wonder how anyone can trust you as a legitimate and truthful source on a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g.

nope you just like to lie...and sit on traffic cones...

@Lyle Your own blogs don't deserve any attention either. Stop casting doubt on others when it is you with the sad case issues.

@Noelle. Read your profile and your last blog post. Count the number of times you say "I". Do you not see it?

My comments weren't a personal attack, they're an observation about you.

Truth hurts.

I agree Bert. It reminds me of the hub bub the Waukesha republican's threw about that bar last summer. They tried to say they were asked to leave because they were wearing tee shirts that supported Walker, the story came out and that wasn't the case but all the right wingnut pundits in the area reported as truth. Another one was that Liberals were killing conservative's puppies. Oh, puh-lease.

What about those claims that republicans were claiming that people were making death threats against them because of the BRB? When the story came out, it ended up being a teacher that ended up being charged with two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts for the threats. Oh puh-lease...

CowDung, She was a early childhood teacher, which is basically a babysitter. You guys have a hard time telling the truth, eh?

Are you saying that referring to an 'early childhood teacher' as a 'teacher' is not being truthful? If she has 'teacher' in her title, then it's probably safe to say that she is a 'teacher'. You guys have a hard time hearing the truth, eh?

She doesn't work for the State of Wisconsin, and isn't in the teachers union so no, she wouldn't fit under the category of "teacher". I have no problem with telling the truth.

Eve:

Are you truly that stupid? Please explain to me why one would have to work for the state of Wisconsin and be a member of the teacher's union in order to be called a 'teacher'?

You do realize that there are hundreds of private schools in Wisconsin that employ non-union teachers, don't you?

It's odd that this crime isn't showing up on Muskego PD's crime report. There are two vehicle damage reports, but both date to late October.
http://webapps.ci.muskego.wi.us/crimewatch/

What office was she running for?

We're not all the same.

@Steve -- do you have to be running for office to be criticized for the contents of a blog?

@Chris Rhine -- I know. I'm good friends with a young conservative man who makes his points with such calm grace that, while i don't agree with him politically, I respect him greatly. He doesn't have to insult people to get his point across.

So you answered with a question. Good job.

@Steve -- Since you asked, i think Noelle had ambitions of becoming Wisconsin's own version of Michelle Bachman eventually. I'd advise against it.

@Randy1949 -

Hoffa couldn't agree with you more on this issue - you definitely hit the nail on the head with this one!

What the..?
I am SO out of the loop!
Randy and Hoffa must'a buried a body together or something.

@Craig -

Trust Hoffa on this one - Randy1949 is 110% correct on this issue!

Craig, trust Randy and Mr. Hoffa...

Yes, Randy and Hoffa agreeing. Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria . . .

Check outside your windows, folks. It must be raining toads out there.

All I have is my own eyes to judge. Hoffa might be in a better position.

Bren: Craig does trust Hoffa and Randy, he would even give them keys to Craig's house when he is out of town.
I think I missed something at some point in the past.
I always try not to have preconceived notions about people until I know them myself.
I hope that some of the accusations being stated on this thread are not true, but I will refrain from making an assumption about nonfactual information until such time the truth comes out.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, Craig. Yes, you missed something. Anyone who was subscribed to Ms. Lorraine's blog saw posts that were deleted. Anyone who used that information to check for themselves (it's a matter of public record) gained some insight into her veracity.

I don't know who set fire to her car or if it was even set on fire. If so, shame on that person.

Ima Hippee, gosh you are so original! Republican's go to statements: handouts...blah..blah...blah...lazy...blah...blah...blah

Suit yourself, Ima Hippee. All I can tell you is that I have yet to take any kind of handout or 'entitlement', and unlike some others, I have yet to stiff a hard-working small businessman on a bill and get taken to court.

The really interesting thing about Ms. Lorraine is that she was in the paid employ of Americans For Prosperity while she was organizing that 'grassroots' rally for Scott Walker in Hart Part back in January.

Gosh, Eve, YOU'RE so original, mocking with childish missives. "blah blah blah"

Edward, I write what you can understand...I dumb it done for ya, so to speak.

And then some.
Up is done not down...

@Ima Hippee Just because Lyle is mentally and morally bankrupt doesn;t mean he can't have decent conversation about something. Talk to him about the weather or something just as engrossing.

@Eve
"...I dumb it done for ya, so to speak."

What exactly does "dumb it done" mean? I'm lost......

Chris, you know there are beaches in Alaska, right? I'm not saying that you go swimming at them or sunbathing but there are beaches.

roy if you went to a beach...green peace would roll you back in the ocean...

Or Kyle, the gay republican volunteer who claimed liberals beat him up and who gave fake texts to mediatrackers. Then he changed his story.

Hey Elantow, the attack on Sean Kedzie really happened. And so did the nails dropped in the parking lot of a family-event rally in Racine. I was there and saw it myself.

Dont' forget the slashed-tires incident years ago in Milwaukee, or the woman arrested in Detroit for punching a Romney voter in the face at a polling station, then smacked the police that detained her.

This story here seems trumped up to be something it's not. I don't believe she actually set fire to her car, but it's clearly being milked for more than the police/fire are finding. even still, pretending that your side isn't the one with a reputation for psychotic and violent behavior only does you more wrong. Acknowledging the problem, then weeding those fools out, or teaching something different in your schools would be a good place to start. Because it's kind of hard to separate philosophy from the rap-sheet anymore.....

Just keep it in perspective. Noelle didn't torch someone else's car. But the threats of violence by the Left are real, and not against their own vehicles.

@Edward Willing -- If there's weeding to be done, you can start in your own garden. The last five days taught me this lady has a problem with the truth. That's as plainly as I can say it.

Obviously, you conservatives have no control over someone who makes you look bad. Neither do we liberals.

That's what I am saying Nate- to wait to hear. I cannot imagine what else it would be. The car had not been moved in nearly 24 hours. The fire started on the back seat accordong to the fire investigator and I got threats the day before- to which I have screen captures for. I owed no money on the car and I only had liability. My homeowners does not cover it either- so that rules that out. As far as attention- with the wonderful people in my llife- attention is not something I am hungry for. So nice try. We do have to wait for the official determination though. That is what I keep repeating if you can read.

Ms. Lorraine claims to knot want attention yet, all she has done since Saturday is bring more and more attention to herself. I do not know one person who believes this arson story. She claims that she keeps saying she is waiting for the investigation, but, on facebook, different story. She adamantly claimed it was liberals who did it. She encouraged everyone to spread it, and they did. Now she is trying to blame someone else for people not believing her. By the way, Scott Philips is actually Heather Bronnson and Wedge Donovan is Matt Lepperd/Matt Wynns.

Whatever will you do when they tell you it was something innocent - that it was not arson - after you've so dramatically pointed fingers at people? Perhaps you should wait for the report to be released before creating so much drama.

Has it occurred to you at all how badly this will reflect upon the GOP in general if you're wrong? And how ignorant you and the people who have bout into this will look?

@Chris Rhine -- It has been my point that Noelle has reflected badly on the GOP since last winter.

That said, I feel obliged to speak to this. For 24 hours, initially, her most recent blog was closed to comments. When that was rectified and I made a comment myself, it was the third in the thread, but based on Ms. Lorraine's reaction above me ("Wow!") there was a deleted comment. I have no idea what it said, or if it was threatening in nature.

Subsequently, there were some posts made that revealed personal information and caused the blog to be closed to comments again.

It's a blog smackdown!

@Matt -

The best patriots, on both sides of the political spectrum, lead by example and actually practice what they preach. Do not be fooled by the disingenuous!

Hoffa leads by example.

Surprisingly thoughtful - thanks Matt.

Eve is really Beth, is really Brad, is really Ricardo, is really Josephus, is really... SAAAAATAAAAANNN!

Wiscobillies can't even fathom that there may be three (or four) different, articulate women that disagree with them. Knotzies are the archetype of fake profiles. Isn't that right Roy Innis/Kirt Diggler/Nom Deplume?

The egg would be on the face of democrats who would never nominate JFK today.

He was more conservative than blue dogs today.

no the egg on the face is no arson....hahahahahaha

i heard she dropped a hot meth pipe on the seat...

If anyone would bother calling the police, they would find out for themselves this is all a big lie. And there is no investigation, never was, never will be. It wasn't arson and she knew that the minute the FD and PD left her house that morning. Call the Muskego PD at (262) 679-4130 ask for the detective bureau, ask about the car fire out on Woods. They will tell you. Now, they have been alerted to the fact that Noelle is claiming that Lt Constantineau is working an arson case. That is a lie. Waukesha is not working on it, the FBI is not working on it. Chris is right, she is trying to martyr herself and be important, and she isn't. She has asked people for money to replace her car and that is why she is making this up, because if she told people the truth, they wouldn't give her a dime, they would just call her a fool for not having insurance.

@ELantow: please DON'T inundate the PD with calls. They have better use of their time than to quell rumors.

If she asked for money here I must have missed it. But if she has, it's problematic.

I'm familiar with the *some misfortune has befallen me please send money to help out a friend* tactic on the net. In my case it was that thieves stole a laptop during a break-in, and the person turned out to be completely fake. People need to take that sort of thing with a grain of salt.
