Florida restaurant holds benefit dinner for accused astronaut

space.com — This is AWESOME!! I wish to God that everyone had the intestinal fortitude of these people to stand up to the conventional idea of right/wrong and declare unequivocally that everyone deserves a chance, free of prejudice and judgement, no matter how "obvious" or heinous their guilt may SEEM! BRAVO!

  • Alfdog, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24This is a ridiculous stunt, maybe someone should them it's not too late to host a dinner for OJ.
    • iluvdrbonner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12or maybe a celebration for Michael Jackson at Disney?
    • nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11To show their support, the bathrooms at the benefit dinner will be closed and the attendees will use diapers. Also, they will have to cut their food with a 4" utility knife and season it with pepper spray.
    • Netmindstorm, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Benefit Menu:
      1. Hubble Haggis
      2. Hot Laika (kids menu only)
      3. Macaroni and Moon

      For dessert: Moon Pies and Marsmellows

  • asif5th, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17What's the attire? Diapers only?
    • AdmiralAdama, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3mean mean mean. spaceflight can take a lot out of a person. look at me!
    • richardandersen, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Aren't you a Cylon?
  • totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Dugg for most sarcastic Digg of the day.
  • Cruddles, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4i cant believe 2 people commented before a diaper joke was made
  • thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Well, they only deserve a second chance if they are guilty. Otherwise, they were guilty and they will get their second chance after serving out their punishment(fine and/or jail).

    Otherwise, they are still on their first chance.
  • Nocturnal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's sad because if it was any other person off the street, they'd be shunned by a restaurant like this. It's ridiculous what fame can do for you.
  • civperc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7terrible. this woman doesn't deserve any help or pity. she attempted to kill an innocent, unarmed woman for cryin' out loud!!
  • drummerwill03, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2While this is quite funny with the diaper jokes and what not I am not surprised to see this happen (seriously it is funny). I live very close to the cape (where NASA) is located in FL. If NASA wasn't located here most businesses would cease to exist. If there is a delay in the shuttle and tourists stay an extra day or two the city and county etc. make lots of money in tax profits.
  • banderbe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4YAY FOR CRIMINALS!!!
  • OldSchoolJohn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1"intestinal fortitude"

    ???

    Strong Bowels?

    You mean testicular fortitude?
    • satanatnmtedu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Intestinal fortitude = guts
    • OldSchoolJohn, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1"Intestinal fortitude = guts"

      Haha OK I missed that. Good call.
  • offstump, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2"terrible. this woman doesn't deserve any help or pity. she attempted to kill an innocent, unarmed woman for cryin' out loud!!"


    Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
    • Nocturnal, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I think the facts come into play here. She was caught red handed.
  • Wooism, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"This is AWESOME!!

    I really hope that is sarcasm, or you would be the biggest idiot I think I've seen in a while (and that's saying something with all the comments I read on Digg).

    Number one, why support a person like that? Her true motive will have to be determined in court, but the account of the diaper wearing and items in her vehicle and such are there.

    And this is a "benefit"!! You hold benefits for people who have no money to pay for medical illness. Kids dying of cancer! Not for psychotic very well-off Astronauts.

    And.. nevermind this ***** me off too much to go on!
  • ImSoFnAwesom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3@offstump


    innocent until proven guilty doesnt apply when caught in the act...


    she drove 900(or so) miles, then did the act.. she admitted to it.. therefore making her guilty.. duh.


    the funniest part to me is that she drove the 900 miles, in a DIAPER, even though she HAD to stop for gas at some point.. why not use the restroom there?
    • OldSchoolJohn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Ummm you still have to be tried in court and found guilty to be guilty. Just because you are caught in the act does not automatically make you convicted of a crime. Even if you confess you still have to be found guilty in a court of law.

      Gotta love all these internet lawyers though.
    • zephc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Well, it can take a long time to pass a 1 lb. burrito grande with tasty salsa verde, so logically it makes sense to wear a diaper, because I'm sure after a mere 900 miles you won't be swimming in it.

      I think I just made myself sick...
    • tom2275, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@oldschooljohn

      Since we're not the jury, the legal guilt or innocence doesn't matter. That will be decided in the courts. But if you're caught in the act of commiting a crime, then I will say you are guilty. That's nothing offical, but you're guilty. So, the question is did she do it? Did she drive 900 miles in a diaper with ducttape and a knife? uh... yes. She's guilty.
  • ImSoFnAwesom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1wow learn to read... i said she admitted, then confessed.. unless she recants her confession. there will be no trial.
    • OldSchoolJohn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Really then?

      Arrest -> Confess -> Sentencing?

      I don't think so.

      Confession != plea just like Add comment != reply.

      Now if she pleads guilty IN COURT she can be found guilty and sentenced without a trial but that has not happened yet.
  • ImSoFnAwesom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2shes gonna most likely plead insanity, or PTSD. so it doesnt really matter..



    shes clearly nuts.. hopefully they lock her up for a good while.. but i doubt it
    • OldSchoolJohn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Which is exactly what I said. And until that happens she is not guilty no matter how much she confesses. Now STFU and learn to press reply.
    • ImSoFnAwesom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1how about you learn some manners..classic american attitude for you..
      and you mentioned nothing of insanity.. or PTSD... so grats.
  • ImSoFnAwesom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2aha, owned off the main page..

    good riddance.
