Item: More than ego bruised in beating: Victim says her looks were reason for fight/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d’Alene Press
More Info: The victim, 29, who filed a report with the police department last week at her family’s urging, suffered a fractured skull and a brain hemorrhage, while one of the kicks in the beating tore loose the breast implant in her right breast, according to police reports. “Because she was drunk, short, and ugly,” the victim told police for the reason behind her assailant’s attack. … I’m very attractive and lots of girls don’t like good-looking girls. It’s just a fat, ugly girl thing.”
Question: What advice would you give the victim?

Shut up before you make it worse. You have enough to file assault charges, and you’d win damages in civil court…. as long as you don’t say anything stupid.

Seek out the services of competent professionals who can help you obtain and maintain a real and viable connection with reality.

@charlesdixon: Thank you for saying what we were thinking! Our office had a good laugh over this story this morning…

The moon must be in the 7th house, I completely agree with Charles.
(With her attitude I can see why someone wanted to beat the crap out of her. Not that it’s right.)

Hawk the gown and get your boob fixed because with a personality like yours, you might just need those double Ds.

People don’t hate you because you’re pretty. They hate you because you’re obnoxious.

Wear a tight sweater to court to emphasize your lopsideness.

I wouldn’t give her advice until she came through on the requested retainer, which after that statement would have been doubled from the usual amount.
