A Tennessee man was arrested earlier this month after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend over suspicions that Mitt Romney was her lover, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.
Forty-year-old Lowell Turpin had confronted his live-in girlfriend, Crystal Gray, after spotting a photo of a man who he did not recognize on her Facebook page. Gray quickly explained the photo was of presidential contender Mitt Romney.
According to a police report obtained by the Smoking Gun, Turpin was upset Gray was “attempting to communicate with friends” through her account and began “smashing the laptop against the wall.” He then struck Gray on “the right side of her face, near her mouth, with a closed fist.”
The report, provided by Anderson County Sheriff Deputy Bradley Prewitt, stated that Gray had accused Turpin of having physically abused her in the past.
Turpin was arrested on domestic assault charges in connection with the July 22 incident. According to rawstory.com, Turpin was still being held in Anderson County Jail as of Monday.
The exact photo of Romney that incited Turpin’s rage has yet to be identified.
Could this be part of that “silent majority” that we hear so much about?
And he can vote! I feel sop much better about the system knowing that (sarcasm in case you missed it)………
Oh, he doesn’t have a problem, does he? What a fuck-head. I supervised a caseload of domestic violence offenders when I was a PO. Some of these guys are real ass-holes, lacking any degree of self control. In addition (while I’m having a huge ex-probation officer flash back), they’re dumb-shits, who have no insight into their behavior whatsoever. And further more, were usually hooked up with psycho-bitches, who knew how to push their buttons and set them off at will.
I could go on, and make this a mini-post on your blog, and carry on about how the whole DV (domestic violence) thing is yet just another fad/social issue passing through the system. Themes in Corrections, reflecting public/political concerns. Restitution, big in the early 80’s when a lot of folks owned property, and didn’t want anybody stealing theirs. Drugs, a perennial favorite, starting with heroin use in the 70’s, cocaine in the 80’s, moving on to Meth, and guess what’s coming back again?” Heroin. [marijuana, however has become virtually legal in States with Compassionate use laws]. Then Drunk driving was the rage. Followed by Domestic Violence, which swiftly rose to become the crime of the century. Now…it’s just basic incarceration, and armed supervision of gang members.
Thanks for letting me rant…I feel much better now 🙂
Well at least he has a pathological reason for not voting for Romney.
