Woman accused of running over husband for not voting in election
A woman in Arizona who was upset about President Barack Obama’s re-election allegedly ran over her husband with a car after she found out he didn’t vote. She has been charged with aggravated assault.
Here’s the full story from The Associated Press:
“GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) — A Mesa woman critically injured her husband by running over him with an SUV during an argument about the presidential election, police said.
Holly Solomon, 28, was upset about President Barack Obama’s re-election and began arguing with her husband when she found out that he didn’t vote, authorities said.
Daniel Solomon, 36, told investigators that his wife believed her family was going to face hardship as a result of Obama’s election to a second term.
During the argument, Daniel Solomon got out of the SUV and gave his wife a dirty look, according to a police report obtained by Phoenix television station KPHO. That’s when she started chasing him through a Gilbert parking lot.
Police said he took refuge behind a light pole as she circled him numerous times while continuing to yell at him.
She struck him as he tried to run toward the road, pinning him between the SUV’s underside and a curb, police said.
Holly Solomon told police that she was trying to scare her husband by stopping the vehicle close to him but she accidentally stepped on the accelerator and struck him.
Daniel Solomon remained in critical condition Monday.
There were no signs Holly Solomon was impaired. She was booked on an aggravated assault count.
Holly Solomon had no listed phone number, and it wasn’t clear whether she has a lawyer.
Witnesses reported hearing yelling before Holly Solomon got into the SUV. Several people also called 911 to report seeing a man get run down in the parking lot.”
I like that she told police she was just trying to get close to him with the car to scare him. What do you make of it people? Have you even been to the point of trying to run over your spouse? Do you have any other extreme ways of fighting?

“I wonder whether you will ever admit that maybe the majority has decided that they wish to have Democrats in high office.
Yep, and they get what they deserve. High unemployment, doctor shortages and bankruptcy.
“Then again, your constant use of talk radio bigot code like “baby daddy” and “givers and takers” indicates that you’re still living in the bubble of epistemic closure and have no clue how the majority of America views our present and our future.
You obviously skipped over WHO I was talking to, Richard. Perhaps reading comprehension isn’t your thing.
Try again.

Well, I just love getting up at 5:30 every morning, and sitting in traffice for 45-60 minutes, to work at the job I’ve had for 20 years, just to see the idiot in front of me at the grocery store talking on a iPhone, with her freshly manicured/pedicured nails, and 3 children she is ignoring, because she’s talking to Sakaira, only to watch her pay for everything with an EBT card. Yup, nothing gets me going like that. Makes me want to get up every morning and go to work, so people like that can have food. God forbid SHE gets a job…..and supports her own children. Like I do. God forbid she pay into social security, like I do, so she has somewhat of a future. God forbid she pay TAXES, like I do. And God forbid she has to use a Flip phone, LIKE I DO.
But no, instead she wants to sit around the housing project, not parenting her children with numerous BABY DADDIES, and expect everything to be GIVEN to her, because she’s BLACK. I guess HER president will take care of her, because he sure as hell ain’t taking care of ME. I take care of ME. It’s call PERSONAL R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y. Some people just don’t get it!!!

BOBO:
You seem to think that someone died and appointed you god and that you get to rule over everyone else because.. . .only your views have merit? This is the good ole USA and whether you like it or not, everyone is entitled to be heard and heeded.
Being of a pov you do not understand or respect is no reason for you to be rude and disrespectful. To my way of thinking, we on the left, put up with Bush 2 and all of his lies and his installment to the presidency by the supremes. At least Obama actually won both of his elections by a majority of the voters who voted. No one is interested in your sore loser comments and attitude. What you need is a change in attitude; being a grumpy guy, probably white, will get you nowhere in our changing country.

Not that Conservatives like them, here is a fact for those ragging on the Universal Service Charge: it is NOT a fund to pay for cell phones for poor people. Nothing to do with that. It is a charge created in the 1930’s to distribute the cost of providing availibility of phone service to hard-to-reach areas, or areas where it would otherwise not be profitable to go through the expense of making phone service possible. It is for, back then, the lines, poles, and everything to put it in place. I guess now it’s for towers and satellites. It’s not a free phone service for welfare queens.

Gotta agree with R3VOLUTION. GOP folks seem to be blaming everything and everyone else but themselves for nominating such a horrible candidate. Running down your husband hardly addresses the fact that republicans cannot articulate a sound economic argument to save their lives, mostly because they seem to love big government, and also because their voting record on small government is deplorable. Seriously, given how awful the economy is, how much more debt was added, how many new wars we are involved in, how much bigger the police state has gotten, and how many more violation of our civil liberties we have had to endure under Obama, a candidate has to be pretty horrible to still lose.

@ Mayhem…ditto on the flip phone…thanks for the laugh. I am about to get a “real phone” soon.
I do believe that God is in charge. There were times, in the Bible, when God allowed his children to have things that were not good for them as it taught them a lesson. It scares me that we could be in the midst of being taught a lesson, for all of our foolishness. God is certainly not a Democrat nor a Republican. There are good and bad people in both parties. God does feel this way, “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 1 Timothy 5:8 I believe God does want us to work and provide for our own family.
Not positive on this answer but catlady lives in a place where she knows lots of people and she has lived there a while. She may very well know the entire history of someone she sees at the market. it is easier to do this when you live in a smaller community. Meanwhile, catlady has herself worked and supported her own family forever.

@ Steve…people are mad because they do not want to work to pay for those who look at Obama as Santa Claus. I am happy to help those who need help but if they have no intention of helping themselves EVER I may want to run over them too…NOT. Anyone else? If someone has demonstrated need, I am ALL about helping. Not so much with those who are not interested in working or keep having children so that they will not ever need to work……
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back SLOWLY away from the talk radio and FOXNews channel. Take a few deep breath’s, free your mind and think for yourself.
Done? Good. Name (to yourself) ALL the people you personally knwo that have stated they think Obama is Santa Claus. Also try to remember that amongst that “47% of moochers who pay no taxes” that Romney talked about are Combat troops in combat zones and those who “got all blowed up” and are “mooching” free money and medical care from the VA. We call them wounded and disabled veterans. They pay no taxes either. But I’ll bet if you axed them, they’d much rather have their legs or arms, or eyes, or whatever back than not pay taxes and draw that small amount of cash they get tax free……….
On topic: When I read that story all I could think of was “just damn.” That lady is a product of talk radio and FOX news. They spew so much hate that you know some weak minded soul will crack. I was afeared something similar would happen a few years ago when George Bush won the second election. I just KNEW some moveon.org or Michael Moore nutcase was gonna go all postal.
Don’t blame the parties people. Blame the nutcases that crack and the extreme sites that feed them.

Are deliberately rude or just stupid. Fred is not a woman’s name. Since you decided to insult award winning journalist Jay Bookman by calling him names, I’m betting on deliberately rude.
Since you don’t use this name when posting over there, I don’t know whom I’m addressing, but in answer to your so called question, no.
Have you anything pertinent to add to the discussion or did you just post to insult me?
I thought not.

Some people get their jollies by making others miserable. Remember “Misery LOVES company”. Katherine the Great is extremely miserable and it makes her feel better to berate others.

The responses to this blog reminded me to be careful of the assumptions I make about people. Nobody knows anybody else’s situation – how many baby daddies they have, if they are on Section 8, why they are on food stamps, who they voted for and why – and I know I have to remind myself to stop being so judgmental….and remember that but for the grace of God I could be in the same situation. So thanks to all you hateful folks. You made a positive impact on me today.

I don’t agree with what Holly Solomon did but I do understand the extreme stress of Obama’s reelection. So many people seem to be willfully ignorant about what is going to take place in our country and the continued hardships people are going to face due to the incompetence of Barrack Obama. Obama care is going to wreck this country because it is going to force businesses to carry the extra insurance for their employee’s which they cannot afford, everything is going to go up and it was reported on the news that hours are going to be cut and restaurants are going to be putting a 5% surcharge on your bill to cover Obama care. Now also look at fast and furious and the guns we gave to the Mexican cartel that killed border agent Brian Terry, notice there are still no answers to that and Eric Holder has done a dance trying to side step Darryl Issa and his questions. Now we have the deaths of our people in Libya and that terrible terrorist attack and no help was sent and security was stepped down, they died and we sent no help even though we had fighter jets two hundred miles away, you have to ask how can you run a country like this. And what about the terrible disrespect shown by our president to Benjamin Netayahu, do people not see that if Israel falls that the entire middle east will burn and that our country will be in great danger again! And what about them talking about selling our national parks to fund Obama care when Boehner would not spend the extra money needed from the house for this health care plan. But the worst above all is the debt. It is not ok for your country to be in debt. In the last seventy days Obama’s administration has spent over a half a trillion dollars and if spending keeps up the way it is that by the end of Obama’s second term we will be borrowing sixty five cents of every dollar that is spend and by the time we get to that no one will lend us money anymore, why would they if we cant pay it back, right now our deficit is larger than all the money everyone put together earns in a year, Obama is the highest spending president we have ever had and we are on our way to falling off of the cliff. Many of you are going to look at this and think that I am a right wing nut and its just so easy to brush this off but you cannot run from the figures or the damage that has been created or what is coming. Our media is incredibly biased in favor of Barrack Obama and they either do not talk about what’s going on or they put so much gloss on it that it is hard to see the truth. I charge who ever reads this and thinks that I am crazy to do the searches and see what is going on, I have been watching and struggling with this for four years now and when Obama won I was just so heart broken at the amount of ignorance there is in this country to not understand that you cannot spend what you do have, government programs must be cut deeply, taxes must be lowered on all business so jobs can be created, people need to take care of themselves and not have four generations on welfare and food stamps. People like the idea of socialism but when you live it then you find out that freedom to fight for what is yours is a pretty good thing, how would you like it if someone told you that you are living in a house that is too big for you and your family and that you have to evacuate half the space so another family can live there or how about the business that you built no longer belongs to you because we are now a socialist nation and now you work for the government and now you are paid what they think you should have and don’t expect any vacations . These things seem extreme but they have happened in the history of our world in Russia and China South America and North Korea. How would you like to wait ten hours in line for a loaf of bread? This is a reality and we are being strongly pushed in that direction. Capitalism is a good thing and makes our country stronger and people happier, we live better lives under a capitalism society and these are things I know. The woman who ran over her husband see’s these things and is very worried for her family and the hardships that are coming for them and her unborn child. I don’t agree with hurting someone but her husband really should tried harder to keep away from a confrontation with a six month pregnant woman worried about what kind of future her child is going to have. And just one last thing about our debt I am middle aged and I know that I will never live long enough to see our country out of debt and I don’t think that the child born in the year of 2012 will live to see that debt paid off either, I think that it is going to take a hundred years to get out from under this burden.
