Voter Suppression: Arizona Woman Runs Over Husband For Not Voting Against Obama

Holly Solomon, 28, really really does not like President Barack Obama. The six-month pregnant Arizona woman was arrested for allegedly running over her husband with her SUV after learning that he did not take the time to vote for Romney last week. She believed a second term would be a disaster for her family and she appears to be right: she is now facing charges of domestic violence and aggravated assault.

Daniel Solomon apparently tried to escape by ducking behind a light post and then making a run for it. However, his wife — and their SUV — made quick work of that.

She has a great defense: she was just trying to scare him but failed to hit the brake in time. She will likely have to explain later — he remains in critical condition.

This could be an interesting voir dire. Do the attorneys strike Obama and Romney supporters respectively? That would leave a jury of Jill Stein supporters, which would likely find the most disturbing element to be the continued use of a gas-guzzling SUV.

    Nice girl. The kind of girl you take home to run over mother.

    I think I know some people on and off the list if they thought they could get away with it…. Would do it….

    Fox News and Rush Limbaugh will come to her defense.

  4. 4 Frankly 1, November 14, 2012 at 8:46 am

    Thank Pasta the guy will be covered by Obamacare or she could be bankrupted by the medical expenses!

  5. 5 Bron 1, November 14, 2012 at 9:08 am

    hormones from pregnancy.

    But you have to laud her dedication.

    Frankly: you make a good point. Although she may have lost her job in the rash of layoffs that have happened and will happen.

    Mr. Turley, Love your last paragraph! Someone should frame the mugshot and present it as a gift @ the baby shower. It would look nice on the baby’s bedroom wall.

    Acting on impulse, this woman destroyed her family.

    It always amazes me that some cannot see the forest for the trees. How many people have been ostracized because of the election?

  9. 9 Frankly 1, November 14, 2012 at 9:42 am

    Bron – in which case ACA becomes even more important because it will keep them insured until she finds a new job or he is up and around to work again.

    We can play this game all day.

  10. 10 Bron 1, November 14, 2012 at 10:06 am

    Frankly:

    you are right, we can.

    This lady just became one of the prime example of the Fox News electorate.

  12. 12 rcampbell 1, November 14, 2012 at 10:57 am

    Bron made reference to the combination of hormones and pregnancy. I don’t know if that’s true, but that combo certainly shouldn’t be ruled out. I remember a friend telling me that during her pregnancy she went ballistic one day and had a huge fight with her husband because the trees on the street behind hers were taller than those on her street. Now, consider the amount of ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) that affects a lot of conservatives who don’t have the mitigating circumstance of being pregnant.

  13. 13 rafflaw 1, November 14, 2012 at 11:00 am

    rcampbell,
    ODS is probably covered under Obamacare! :)

  14. 14 BusterCherry 1, November 14, 2012 at 11:07 am

    I would spend a lot of time on voir dire asking potential jurors if they take their right to vote and their duty to vote seriously. Their duty to vote for guilt or innocence is far more importantant than their right to vote for Obama or the Mittster. I would make light of the fact that she ran him over. Sum itchBay deserved it if you are a right wing Romney nut. Therefore, you have established the defense of insanity. Ya gotta be crazy to vote for Romeny and the the extent of insanity does not matter. She looks crazy too.

    I would strike anyone on the panel with a first name or last name Hussein. I would have a lot of folks show up in the courtroom audience with Get Out The Vote buttons on their shirts.

    It appears the wife wasn’t into that compassionate conservatism stuff that held reign prior to President Obama. I hope for a full recovery to the husband.

  17. 17 Julie Hammond 1, November 14, 2012 at 11:28 am

    she’s “not” in jail? or she’s “now” in jail? — !

  18. 18 Blouise 1, November 14, 2012 at 11:55 am

    Wow … if she’d do that to a loved one, god only knows what she’d do to an actual Obama voter … or a vehicle with an Obama sticker.

  19. 19 Dredd 1, November 14, 2012 at 12:00 pm

    I persuaded my friend to remove Obama stickers from her vehicle after the election. Until the rage evaporated.

  20. 20 Dredd 1, November 14, 2012 at 12:01 pm

    Compressionate conservatism …

  21. 21 Bron 1, November 14, 2012 at 12:08 pm

    rcampbell/rafflaw:

    I went to the doctor on the 9th, they told me ODS isnt covered by my policy. So I had to spend $150 on a bottle of good scotch instead. After drinking it over the weekend, I felt much better.

    And since most of the people here seem to be pretty decent people, I didnt have a bad case anyway.

  22. 22 nick spinelli 1, November 14, 2012 at 12:10 pm

    That was DAMN good scotch! At least it should have been.

  23. 23 Bron 1, November 14, 2012 at 12:23 pm

    nick:

    the ABC raised its rates after the election since they were being overwhelmed with conservatives trying to self medicate. :)

    “Make it single malt scotch. Blended scotch is crap.”

    ~ From the movie Malice

  25. 25 Bron 1, November 14, 2012 at 12:42 pm

    CARTERBO:

    only single malt. I am buying a couple of cases of scotch and cigars while I still have money.

  26. 26 BusterCherry 1, November 14, 2012 at 12:49 pm

    I voted on the 18th. Early but not often. I voted a straight ticket. Not one of them was gay. Then I learned that some guy on the Democratic Ticket would not put the word Democrat on his yard signs. He did not want anyone to think that he was for Obama–the guy at the head of this ticket. So I wanted to withdraw my vote for this guy and I went to the Board of Elections. They said that I could not change my vote. But I pointed out that the polls were not closed. So I walked out to the line of waiting voters and told the story. About twenty of them said they would not vote for this two faced skunk. He ended up losing the election. Thank dog.

  27. 27 Dredd 1, November 14, 2012 at 1:02 pm

    Gives new meaning to Voter Compression Suppression.

    It also answers the question “are Mr. & Mrs. James Carville safe living together as a married couple?”

  28. 28 Anonymously Yours 1, November 14, 2012 at 1:47 pm

    Yep…. They’ve spoken…..

    Bron, if you are ordering The Macallan, please send driving directions to your house.

  30. 30 Blouise 1, November 14, 2012 at 5:25 pm

    OS,

    Re: The Macallan … they have a cool website

  31. 31 shano 1, November 14, 2012 at 5:32 pm

    Arizona, today, still counting 300,000 votes & hoping the citizens get bored and lose interest.

  32. 32 Realistic One 1, November 14, 2012 at 5:48 pm

    It is true, the cows do come home.

  33. 33 Swarthmore mom 1, November 14, 2012 at 7:32 pm

    Romney blames his loss on big “gifts” that Obama gave African Americans, Hispanics, & young voters.

  34. 34 Otteray Scribe 1, November 14, 2012 at 8:13 pm

    Blouise,
    I know. Unfortunately, I was outbid on that Lalique decanter of 64-year-old The Macallan.

    However, Christmas is coming and they do have some 55-year-old in Lalique decanters for only $19,000 per bottle. I need two. One for the living room and one for the dining room.

  35. 35 Blouise 1, November 14, 2012 at 8:24 pm

    OS,

    And one to send to your good friend, Blouise.

  36. 36 Malisha 1, November 14, 2012 at 8:43 pm

    OK, she’s nuts, she’s dangerous, she’s about to reproduce, and half of that part of it (probably) is her husband’s fault. But he didn’t deserve to get run over. Also, bad haircut. ARIZONA? Something’s wrong with the air out there.

  37. 37 Anonymously Yours 1, November 14, 2012 at 10:15 pm

    Malisha,

    There are a lot of folks that act “so called Normal” that are really psychotic…. You pass them probably every day…. Just because they have some functioning social skills they have not yet been declared legally insane….. It’s just a matter of time before dementia or alzimers sets in then they are locked up for there own protection……I’ve seen it happen quite often…. Especially if you’ve ever done any elder law…..

  38. 38 Gene H. 1, November 14, 2012 at 11:25 pm

    OS,

    I don’t drink often or much, but if you’re in the gift giving mood, Monopolova is a very reasonable very good potato vodka. At less than $20 a liter, I’m a bargain on your list compared to those high maintenance scotch drinkers. :mrgreen:
