Lauren Boebert accused of killing neighbor's dog

[DavidDvorkin]

I can't cut and paste from the article, but the thread title gives you the gist. I wonder if this will hurt or help her, considering the nature of her district.

1. May she receive everything she deserves.

2. Kick

[Celerity]

32. The accuser is now starting to walk it back, the story is looking dodgy (and I DETEST the POS BoBo)

It's the bloody Daily Heil (Mail), a true RW shit tabloid, so not surprised if the whole thing falls apart.

But when contacted by the DailyMail.com,
Mendoza wouldn’t stand by her own posting.

Asked whether Boebert had shot her dog, she told DailyMail.com, ‘I’m not sure, I need to figure that out.

‘I need to take a step back for a second,’ she said while avoiding further questions. ‘I’m not ready to release anything to media sources.’

6. I hope it hurts her

But who knows. There is no way I would let her son or any of them come over to visit or take the dog etc. my dog and everyone else would be kept far away from all of them.

So we see the so called equal justice system once again. She gets off and this poor woman’s dog is gone.

14. Trump sucessfully fund raises off his crimes.

Wouldn't surprise me if LB does as well.

[Meowmee]

16. yes

I guess we will see what happens. ugh.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I didn't think I could less of that bitch.

I have a feeling this will BITE her in the ass in the long run.

[GoodRaisin]

8. I never click a Boebert thread - until I saw dog murder.

This is just sad. I hate that fucking woman’s guts.

[dchill]

9. That is truly horrible!

[KS Toronado]

11. This is where Boebert belongs.

[niyad]

20. At this moment, I am envisioning her in dog-fighting ring. Show her what

vicious and violent dogs really do.

[FakeNoose]

27. It's probably not a criminal offense, but I hope there's a huge lawsuit over this

This should cost her a bundle, and maybe she'll lose the election too.

I was hoping the neighbor had moved away before publicizing this, but apparently she still lives next door.

[KS Toronado]

29. If anything happens to the neighbor going forward

The cops know where to start looking, hope they have outside cameras, some of Boebert's supporters
might want to do something on account of "fake news". We know how repugs are, attack one of us
and we'll gang up on you.

12. Cold-blooded, ignorant and cowardly.

15. 2 year old Husky was trespassing, OMG. She is sick

[Kaleva]

19. Attacked and hurt the goats

The owner of the dog states in a letter

[jcgoldie]

17. The letter seems to mention that the dog attacked her goats

I really despise Boebert and hesitate to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who has shown themselves repeatedly to be vile ignorant and petty, but if the dog was coming onto her property and attacking goats as the neighbor seems to admit in the letter then it may not be so easy to ascertain the guilty party in this case.

[Kaleva]

18. She admits her dog got loose and attacked and hurt Boeberts goats

And she got a citation from the police for it.

[MaryMagdaline]

21. That doesn't explain hiding the dog's body and failure to call the owner.

Total inhuman POS.

[intheflow]

22. Coloradans love their dogs.

And as conservative as much of Boebert's district is, I can't see how shooting a neighbor's dog would be viewed as anything other than vile by most Coloradans.

[DavidDvorkin]

26. Yes, but

Her supporters will praise her for protecting her property from danger.

OTOH, the race is closer than I expected, so it might not take a change of heart in many of her supporters to give the victory to the Democrat.

[TheBlackAdder]

31. That's because, if you live in a rural area, you are probably not leashing your dog 100 percent.

.

At times, dogs do make a break for it and they will go next door. It's just a matter of time.

23. First two paragraphs of OP article:

(copied by using Firefox's Reader View)

Lauren Boebert, an American politician has been accused of fatally shooting her neighbor’s dog, according to a statement. “Lauren Boebert has been accused of shooting her neighbor’s dog to death for trespassing,” a post claims. In a Facebook post made by the accuser Yaritza Mendoza, the U.S. representative for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district was called out for shooting and killing the 2-year-old Husky.

According to Mendoza, the husky trespassed into Lauren Boebert’s properties and was shot to death. Mendoza stated that Lauren Boebert claimed she thought the dog is violent and had to shoot her. “She had no right to kill the dog,” a comment reads. “how do you kill a dog your oldest son plays with often with claims that you thought it to be violent? “Your youngest son spent countless hours playing with her, Mendoza continued.”

The article continues with the message from Mendoza reproduced upthread, and then some background info.

24. Thanks for doing that.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. Who is surprised by this?

[milestogo]

28. "Your gun isn't the solution to all your problems."

But that is how Republicans think. They love death.

[DavidDvorkin]

30. Maybe, just maybe, this story is starting to get a bit of traction

And maybe, just maybe, she won't be reelected.

But I'm always afraid to get my hopes up.
