Doesn't she know the number to 911?

Redwing: Doesn't she know the number to 911?

That kid was smart enough to realize that the only way to get REAL action was to make the evening news. And it worked - massive response within 20 minutes.

Smart kid. I'd hire her.

Considering how often I check my email, old granny would be bloomers up floating down the river.

FTA: "There were people trapped in their home," Monk said. "Water was rising and there was no way out. (There were) people with oxygen tanks and wheelchairs and there was no way out. They needed help."

Hope her trailer park isn't 55+ exclusive. Then they'll have to kick her out.

/Good idea to flag the media into it.

THEY HAD F*CKING OXYGEN TANKS! THAT'S AIR YOU CAN BREATHE UNDERWATER!

Nice that we've reached a point where we're helping people not to be good citizens but to avoid embarrassment.

Now? It's been this way for decades. Shame has always been a better motivator than kindness.

Quick get her out of Florida, she has promise to be smart!

 
Scutter 2008-08-24 03:08:32 PM  
A real hero would have gotten them out herself. All she did was beg someone else to come do it.

 
Control_this [TotalFark] 2008-08-24 03:09:46 PM  
She learned by example. Her mom called a news station after getting fired at the strip club for getting fat.

Nice going kid. Instead of helping yourself you expect others to help you? So typical of many American's entitlement culture. I predict she'll be in line at the welfare office with three kids by the time she's 20: "Where mah check? I all outta Lucky Strikes dammit." And what are trailer dwellers doing with a broadband connection anyway? Spend that $50 a month on getting a better job.

This article seems like bullshiat. Like there are computers in Florida.

Scutter: A real hero would have gotten them out......

By your definition of Hero, the firefighters that rushed into the twin towers on 9/11 aren't heroes. And since both physically achieved nothing, I'll agree with your point.


//See it comin?

No, she's an idiot. She didn't try to call 911 and it seems didn't even think about it.

Where's the Florida tag???

I had a friend who was biatching to me about his paychecks. He works at a gas station and the owner owns about 10 of them in town and the surrounding areas. First when he went to the check cashing joint, they called up the gas station, the boss said he had no idea who my friend was so the check was turned down on the spot. The boss refused to cut him a new check or to just give him the cash, said that it would be done on the next check run. Next check run, and the one after, the boss didn't pay him at all. I told him, "Dude, if he owns that many businesses and he's that much of a bastard, go to the newspaper or get a hold of Channel 4 or 5. They'd love to get a story like that. The fear of him losing business over bad press of not paying his employees would be enough to make sure your check was never late and never turned down." instead he went to the shop told the owner that he either got all his back pay on the spot or he'd never return, the boss paid him every last cent...then cut his hours by about 60%.

Does she have any idea how much money she has cost social security and medicare?

I've emailed my photos to the media trying to get myself a 16-year-old trailer park girl so I'm really getting a kick out of... wait

Simply calling 911 wouldn't have gotten her in the news. She needed pages of emails with nifty pictures of rising waters and oxygen tanks and wheelchairs. Hero? No. Attention whore.

Yeah I haven't seen Lucky Strikes for sale in years. I'm sure they're still available but you'd have to do some snooping. Least where I live.

And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!

She's kinda cute..

 
jaxwally 2008-08-24 03:26:37 PM  
Of course she got help, all of the 16 year old girls on the internet are actually cops.

 
serial_crusher [TotalFark] 2008-08-24 03:28:55 PM  
Good thing they focused all their resources on saving some trailers and left the rest of the state to rot...
Thanks, media!

Yeah, but they're black. And fat. And not hot. And not sixteen years old.

Thats where her credibility came from, everyone assumed a 16 year old girls email had to be a cop.

 
Rozinante 2008-08-24 03:34:16 PM  
But is she hot?

you go girl.

 
serial_crusher [TotalFark] 2008-08-24 03:35:13 PM  
Many were taken to the shelter at Sherwood Elementary School in Melbourne. Police then took some people back into their homes to save personal items.

Sounds like they were in a pretty dangerous situation.

 
cksewell [TotalFark] 2008-08-24 03:37:21 PM  
her email:
this is soooo not kewl. ppl r going 2 drown if u dont send help. I have pics n stuff.

 
Great Janitor 2008-08-24 03:38:45 PM  
punto: a whole trailer park submerged under water and nobody noticed it?

I could believe it. The closest trailer park that I know of is about 30 to 40 miles away. As for trailer park residents and life...maybe drowning wouldn't really be that bad for them.
