2. 'I'm pissed': Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz lead Republican reaction
Thu Aug 17, 2023, 12:48 PM

... Mr Trump’s allies in the GOP blasted the former president’s indictment in Fulton County, Georgia, before the details of the case were even released ...

“I’m pissed at these over and over and over again, if they’re indictments, it’ll be the fourth indictment of Donald Trump” Mr Cruz, who lost the Republican nomination for president to Mr Trump in 2016, said. “This is disgraceful. Our country’s over 200 years old. We’ve never once indicted a former president, or a candidate or a leading candidate for president and this is Joe Biden and this is the Democrats weaponizing the justice system because they're afraid of the voters.”

Similarly, Sen Lindsey Graham (R - South Carolina) told Fox News how Mr Trump spent more on legal fees than he did on campaigning for president. Mr Graham had attempted to avoid testifying before Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s team as she probed into Mr Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia but ultimately testified in November of last year ...

problem for which she refuses to seek help; she's served time; and she calls herself batshit crazy --- so maybe "harmless" is a bit of a stretch

21. Not likely to harm particular people?

She has a record of criminal mischief and resisting arrest. And it's 2X on resisting arrest. Once, one could say it was some overzealous cop getting his knickers in a twist about an uppity woman not obeying him instantly. Twice, and it looks like she may indeed be the type to get physical when she's mad.

The criminal mischief indicates she was charged with destroying someone's property. That's acting to harm, even if it's only via damaging property.

So she has a history of issuing threats, and of doing harm when she gets in a tizzy. I don't think that bodes well for what to expect of her in the future.

After Shry’s arrest, the government moved to detain her. Court records show that a magistrate judge agreed, given the weight of evidence, the defendant’s prior criminal history, lack of a stable residence, lack of stable employment, and history of alcohol or substance abuse. U.S. Magistrate Judge Sam S. Sheldon noted that Shry has prior violations of probations, parole, or supervised release and said the defendant has been charged four times in the last year for “similar conduct.”

Brazoria County court records show that Shry pleaded guilty last September to criminal mischief, resisting arrest, search or transport, and interfering with public duties.

“On September 20, 2022, she was convicted in two separate cases (misdemeanor resisting arrest and misdemeanor criminal mischief) and sentenced to 30 days imprisonment. Recently, on July 11, 2023, she was charged with misdemeanor threat causing fear of imminent serious bodily injury. It is alleged that she committed the instant offense while on bond for the July 11 incident, less than one month after it occurred,” the magistrate judge wrote.

The judge said that Shry, a mother of two, “suffers from major depression and has a long history of substance abuse” and lives with her boyfriend, who is “presently charged with a family assault against her.”

Democratic politicians, if not blocked constantly by conservatives, would enact policies and programs to help address many of the problems that this person faces. Funding for mental health treatment and SUD programs, housing stability programs, jobs, etc... The economy would be better and less predatory and she and her family would have many more opportunities for a better life. Instead, they think that people like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Lindsey Graham give a shit about them and they vote for more money to be given to the richest people in society, at their own expense.

... She was convicted in September 2022 in two cases, misdemeanor resisting arrest and misdemeanor criminal mischief and was sentenced to 30 days in jail ...

“Defendant’s aggressive and threatening behavior has continually escalated during the past year as evidenced by her criminal conduct in four separate cases. She advised U.S. Probation that she is not interested in receiving any substance abuse or mental health services” ....

On August 3, 2023, in reply to a friend, Shry wrote on Facebook, “I’m bat s*** crazy now…i thought Obama was the antichrist & i thought covid was funded by Obama…i was silenced & called racist & phobic of whatever & for 2 yrs i went crazy under the guise of trust science..i do not trust science or any lunacy of Democrat govt… I’m firmly planted in the MAGA camp as i hv been since 2015.

In another reply in the thread, Shry wrote, ” i am crazy… I’m a terroristic threat to Austin, Tx… I’m out on bond for it… at worst it was an empty threat… at best I’m a snitch & they owe me a check… communist aren’t the brightest among us. … hmmm Soros funded da’s in Travis, Bexar & Fort bend county.. hmmm bill gates cricket farm in Austin & Ottawa… you can’t talk about that” ...

No mention she has had previous phy help. I think good idea. There is no mention of physical abuse by her to others --yes, mental emotional abuse with all her threats.


She has been abused by her live in partner [i do not know if he is still with her].

22. She hasn't harmed someone that we know of

YET.

She has been charged with resisting arrest twice. That's not a good sign of someone who won't get physical if provoked. She's also harmed people's property. That's also not a good sign.

She's only getting worse as time goes by. Anger management classes + detox will have to be part of her jail term for the threats.

If she turns her life around with all of that, then fine. But I have a bad feeling that she's now as addicted to her rage as she is to alcohol and whatever else she's on.

Shry will certainly be recruiting to Team Gravy now. She just needs to pass the physical trial, which includes bonging a 40 ounce can of warm bacon grease.
