"...When I met her for coffee, she had a supportive friend in tow to fill in gaps in her memory as well as a stack of binders stuffed with timelines, talking points, and social media screenshots. She was trying to suppress her anger over her mounting legal bills—“for a volunteer council job I’ve had to retain an attorney at $600 an hour”—and she was anxious about her upcoming appearance at a city council meeting, scheduled for April 23."

The foul mouthed wench wants to play the victim now, requiring a "supporting friend along". How special.

No regret whatsoever until she was called out for acting like an a*s, directing her libtard rage at four teenage girls.

The first apology blaming Trump for her actions is the closest we'll get to her true feelings.

Bullying and cursing at teenage girls out on an early evening night is never right. I hope her and her family pay a heavy price for her libtard actions which she honestly only regrets because it has cost her money and trouble.

Liberals are such hypocrites !!!

Betcha, she NEVER opens her fat mouth again...

She hasn't learned a damn thing.

She's still full libtard on her Twitter page.

Thanks for posting this. What an awful story.

The perpetrator was a judgmental bully, and did commit a crime to those kids, out without parents (reasonable, at 14 at an ice cream store!).

But the the other parents swearing and threatening her with violence are EVERY BIT AS BAD!

The only way to make the other side look bad by their own deeds is NOT TO DO THE SAME DEEDS. Gee whiz.

Good story. Parts of it I never knew until today.
However, the first half of this article was greatly overwritten, filled with all manner of descriptions, many prosaic, most peripheral.
I had to swim and skim through the first half, as I wanted to know how it all ended.

I wish the owner of The Red Hen had gotten even a fraction of this treatment.

May it be a lesson well learned by all libtards...

No. They ain't that bright.

I felt the same way in regard to not stooping down to their level.

Yes. I skimmed through the first half as well before I started actually reading it. I did re-read the first half though before I posted it.

"..I agree. Tediously long.."

I can figure out if the writer wants to be a novelist or a real estate agent. Hehehe. d;^)

She is a Gun Grabber, attack her for that.

She made a dumb remark and Apologized. I know full well that of a Conservative Mother made a distasteful remark to the Daughter of a Liberal, the situation would be ten times worse, but this whole thing is like a Twilight Zone Episode.

Now I must assume that this Woman’s Husband has never talked about Pussy in a PRIVATE Conversation with another Male.

You know, like Bill Clinton and Vernon Jordan used to do on the Golf Course. (We all know Clinton wasn’t talking with Vernon about the Pussy he had waiting at Home).

I also love how the out of context nature of Private Citizen Trump’s comment in a private Conversation is used in instances like this. Donald Trump was talking about Women who throw themselves at Men like him and Celebrities in general, not going out and groping a Woman for yuks.

Now she knows what us Irredeemable Deplorable Types and Republicans in general are dealing with day in and day out.

Noticed she is a big Church goer as well. I wonder what her position is on Abortion and Planned Parenthood?

"... enraged strangers who seemed to see her not as a real person but as the embodiment of any and all culture war grievances—guns, bad moms, bad presidents, and so on. "

And rightfully so! That is because she is "... the embodiment of any and all culture war grievances—guns, bad moms, bad presidents, and so on."

Painfully, IMHO, most "conservative/American" families would have just shrugged their shoulders and kept their mouths shut...Of course the demoncrats just continue with their vile behavior and it just keeps getting worse...

The advice she got from her lawyer re: an apology, was the worst I’ve ever heard of.

Well, how did his representation of Arthur Andersen turn out for them? I don't think you'll be able to get an official comment from the company on that.

It was too many words, but that was the point, right? This whole thing ballooned out to Goodyear Blimp proportions because so many people are so into self-gratifying emotional incontinence.

I could see where it was going about 1/5 of the way through the article.

I'm glad I don't live with ANYBODY with this type of temperamental excess.

Still lying about her pet project to disarm Texans I see?

Majority of Texans want stronger gun laws yet TX GOP wants “constitutional carry” - aka guns without any permit, training, or background check. After Santa Fe & Sutherland Springs, this is what you offer.

-------------------------

Liberals never change and they are never honest. She deserves worse than she got. Wouldn't believe a word this foul-mouthed libtard ever said!

They didn’t put up with it. The parents filed charges and many in the community tried to get her recalled. In any other state they wouldn’t have said or done a damn thing.

irishjuggler said: This piece is overly sympathetic to this Burke woman. “She made a mistake.” “She apologized.” Et cetera. I’m sorry. No decent adult harasses a kid. Period. Full stop.”

A MISTAKE is when you forget to carry over the “1” in a three column arithmetic addition problem. Harassing 14-year old girls is NOT a mistake - it is a moral failing for which you deserve the community’s strongest scorn and condemnation.

With the social media everyone thinks they are entitled a soap box whether we want to hear them or not.

She even spells her name smugly, you can't expect a real apology out of that.

I read da whole thing. It was a decent article, if you ignore the fact that the article’s author paints Kelly Burke as a victim...

Otherwise, discounting that omission, yes: It’s a well-written article. /s
