Who knew that Cracker Barrel was full of crackers?

I don't get the title of this thread.

The woman has a legal history of starting fights including current pending charges. The man, no record. Two witnesses say she spit on him and assulted him first.

The woman is nuts. Why laugh at a restaurant that had nothing to do with it?

The woman he assaulted (Hill) seems to have a history of getting into "disagreements."

"She said, 'I'm a U.S. military soldier. I'll kill you," West testified Friday. "As I start to turn away, she spits in my face," CNN affiliate WXIA reported Friday.

And two "very credible" witnesses were adamant about seeing Hill spit on West, she said.

Hill has previous cases involving violent and verbal altercations and is currently charged with disorderly conduct from an incident this summer, Lawson said. Hill is accused of threatening to shoot two boys, claiming they burglarized her home, Lawson told CNN. Lawson said she heard a 911 call about the incident just before the trial began.

While the guy technically deserves punishment for assault (even if someone spits on you, it is still a leap to punch them), this woman obviously has some serious issues...

Looks like a case of a bigoted person spitting on and threatening another bigoted person, and the 2nd person beating the 1st person down for it.

She's all indignant that he didn't get more jail time, when she's the one that started it, and should get jail time herself. I hope that if she files a civil rights lawsuit against him, he counter-sues for the same thing.

The guy slaps her after she spits on him and that makes him "bigoted"? Do you even know what the word means?

 

[Bl0cks]

Wait what was the racial slur... cracker?

 

[twinrider1]

Yep. I'm not personally offended. But I don't think there's a place for it here. Nothing good can come from it.

I think the two of them should have been locked up with each other for a week. That would learn 'em.

6 months because he punched a woman? wtf?

I don't get the title of this thread.

It's just the OP owning up to his own bigotry while complaining of others bigotry.

6 months because he punched a woman? wtf?

A light punishment considering that he could have gotten 44 years for punching her.

faced 44 years if convicted

Can you not feel her pain, how could she have known that insulting this man, threatening to kill him and spitting on him, would cause her so much mental and physical anguish for the rest of her years.

Do you have no heart man?

 

[nobodyknows]

<taps sarcasm meter> Ah, there it goes.

How much have the lawyers made on this one?
