Woman’s LOL on Facebook lands her in jail
Wednesday, September 19, 2012

A Kentucky woman received jail time after posting a Facebook comment mocking a DUI charge, Patrick Jones reports.

Paula Asher was allegedly drinking and driving when she side-swiped another vehicle and was arrested. She later posted the following comment on Facebook: “My dumb (expletive) got a DUI and hit a car LOL.”

A judge ordered her to take down her Facebook page, and when Asher did not comply, she was held in contempt of court and ordered to spend two days in jail.

Allowed that the context is pretty sparse

“My dumb (expletive) got a DUI and hit a car LOL.”

who does the (expletive) refer to? There must be more to this.

For this, a contempt charge?

A person doesn't have to be remorseful for their actions and that can and often is taken into consideration at sentencing.

Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.

I know that, Ed. Tho' your name headlined, I wasn't talking to you or blaming you or even thinking 'bout you.

I see what you mean, I can't think of an expletive that makes that sentence make sense.

“My dumb [ass] got a DUI and hit a car LOL.”
It's pretty obvious she is referring to herself in a self-deprecatory fashion.

Thanks Stepan - it wasn't obvious to me at all. My cuss words were much worse. American is my second language, sorry.

ok, Mr. Dumas.

Odd they made that vote just when a woman complained of bruises put on her daughter by a man in school.

That would seem to me to make the contempt of court thing even dumber than it first appeared, Tsar.

A bed for gerbils, no doubt.

I would be skeered to get in it.

Nope. No sir I would not even ride in that thing at 15mph.
