She’s like Ann Coulter’s long-lost fraternal twin or something. The kind of woman you want to repeatedly donkey punch while you grudge fuck her. ---

It sounds as if these two haven’t gotten past the 8-year-old bully mentality. no doubt. In my city (which is in the same general area as the topic of this thread) there was a story in the news about a couple of high-school freshmen who got in a fight outside a convenience store. What made it news-worthy is that the one kid’s rotten cunt of a mother actually drove her little angel to the store so he could kick the other kid’s ass. which he did, badly enough that the other kid needed an extended hospital stay. the cause for the attack was- of course- a girl. ---

How do you even do something like that in the first place? And over a perceived slight in relation to a little kid’s birthday party? Jeez this whole story is depressing, both for the little dying girl, her recently deceased mother and for what this evil woman’s callous actions say about some members of our society. ---

Maybe they can grow up okay, then. And it’s great to see that so many people in the community stepped up to make donations and help the young lady and her family out. Now if y’all will excuse me, there’s something in my eye. ---

I Googled for some more recent information about the evil bitch. I found [this story from July](http://trenton.patch.com/articles/exclusive-jennifer-petkov-says-im-sorry-wishes-to-move-on-2) which has some new news. 1. The Petkovs have had to move out of their home because a judge has issued a restraining order mandating that she not be within five blocks of the neighbors house. They are trying to sell theirs but had no offers. 2. She plead guilty to a reduced charge of assault and battery regarding the attempt to run over the neighbor, because, she claims, she was convinced she could not receive a fair trial. 3. No mention of her kids, except that she apparently violated her restraining order to go to her house and get some legal papers related to the issue. The suggestion is they’re still gone. 4. The neighbor grandmother, Rose, claims she has repeatedly violated the restraining order, but had some kind of breakdown at the Trenton police station and left without filing a complaint. 5. There have been numerous subsequent episodes of harassment of the girl on Facebook, but the Petkovs claim that others are setting up phony accounts and doing it using the Petkov name. ---
