Yet another example of someone with a gun who desperately needs mental health services.

What does “blasted on” mean?

Do you mean:
“he almost had a cap busted in his ass” or
“he almost got drilled” or
“he bout got iced” or
“he was almost given a fatal case of lead poisoning” or
“somebody almost opened up on him” or
“he almost got popped” or
“he was almost smoked”?

I agree with Tom though, ths one will need a follow up.

“Almost tapped,” maybe even “almost double-tapped.”

Wait what??
It says he was there to pick up his daughter at the church.
He hauls ass and leaves his daughter behind with a gun toting “crazy”
person in the parking lot. Wow!

He went to the police station that was right down the street and came back to get her with a police escort.

Geez, you’re going to criticize him for THAT?!! So, what, he should’ve been a hero and gotten himself shot? What good would that have done?

What if she went inside the church to look for his daughter? Thank goodness she didn’t. Apparently it was Gowdy she was after.

In S.C., particularly Sparkle City, they say 1+1=3.

I’m not buying it.

Frankly, this is typical of NRA GOTPers. Run for the hills when the gun is pointed at him, never mind his daughter could have walked out at any time.

How old is Gowdy; same age as this woman? She is 52 years old and is from Atlanta. How did she know where he was? If this was at a parking lot at a mall, I would consider her deranged, but this was in a Baptist church parking lot. Weird!

^ Exactly. Downtown Spartanburg is a shit-hole. No need to try to read anything else into it, FITS, this happens to the average joe here about once a week. This time the random crackhead just happened to approach Gowdy so it made the news.

How about the teen that was beat up in the walmart on East Main parking lot by a black gang.
Or the other one beat up in the same parking lot 4 weeks later.
Or all the house breakins on East side.
Spartanburg is turning into Dodge City. The Sheriff suggested everybody should get a gun and a weapons permit.

If she was charged with unlawful possession, I’m gonna guess she didn’t have a permit. If she did have one from Georgia, it’s not any good in SC.

Sounds to me like she was standing her ground while exercising her second amendment rights. She felt threatened by Gowdy. Who are we to question that?

Hell, I feel VERY threatened by Gowdy and his ilk.

Disclaimer: I don’t own a gun.

Random crazy woman with a gun + deserted downtown on a Sunday night and the only thing with activity is 1st Baptist, which is right on Main Street.

Could have happened to anyone, just so happened Gowdy was the first one the crazy lady saw.

Lots of mentally ill folks roam our streets.

No prior connection???? He was the former prosecutor for Spartanburg. She’s probably related to someone he and his office wrongly prosecuted. He has a long history of abusing his power by prosecuting for favors or protecting against prosecution for favors.

Ridiculous: Trey Gowdy, like all the other lame GOP new Congressman has helped destroy what little influence South Carolina has in Washington, DC. These Junior Congressman have no value to SC at all. We voted out senior Congressman for these worthless idiots.

These characters are the exact reason that if SC wants anything from Washington we have to beg Jim Clyburn to get it for us. There’s no one else with any seniority left.

This State needs to stop following this dumbass ideology and decide to get smart again. This small State needs senior people in Washington from both sides of the isle. Remember Stom Thurmond and Fritz Hollins, among others??

Then no matter who gets elected President: SC stays in control. Which is all that really matters: PERIOD!!!

Um, OK, but these guys have the advantage over anyone else who you might support when it comes to being “senior Congressman” (sic). So I guess you are arguing to keep them around so they can continue to build up seniority, rather than dump them and start back at Go.
