WOW - Audrey Renee Efird, sounds like another angry Karen. If either party uses any type of physical, let alone verbal abuse, then it is time to run away and get out of that abusive relationship, don't stay, seek help and move on. They are never going to change just not in their DNA.
Amon, it is clear that you know nothing about this person. Do you even go to Joplin?
So beeing thrown from a car out into Rangeline is on her dna? Don't comment if you know nothing on the matter.
