Waco police arrested a 30-year-old woman Wednesday morning on driving while intoxicated and aggravated assault charges after she chased at least two cars and intentionally crashed into one, later telling police she thought she was chasing a pedophile who had kidnapped a girl, arrest affidavits state.According to some of her friends, the Bag of Nuts is both a Trump supporter and a QAnon believer.
Officers arrested Cecilia Celeste Fulbright, of Waco, at about 10 a.m., after she crashed into a barrier near the gas pumps at H-E-B on North 19th Street, police reported.
A driver called police at about 9:20 a.m. to report a small red car had chased them on North 19th Street but that they were able to get away, according to the affidavit.
About 20 minutes later, another driver reported the red car was chasing her and that the driver, Fulbright, was yelling at her and rammed her car multiple times before the caller pulled into the H-E-B parking lot on 19th Street, the affidavit states.
Apparently, the Bag of Nuts is still living in Ya-Ya Land:
Fulbright contacted Molina after getting out of jail, seemingly unaware that she had done anything wrong. Molina said that Fulbright told her that one of the cops who arrested her had winked at her and told her she was in “good girl jail” because “they knew I was doing good.” Molina said she confronted her ex-roommate about the seriousness of her actions but that her concerns were “not registering at all.”These nut jobs are out there and they can be dangerous; attacking strangers based on some wild-ass conspiracy theory.
“I feel like I’m mourning my friend’s death,” Molina said. “I don’t know her. Like, I have no idea who this person is. … That’s pretty much how we all feel.”
Five days after the incident, Molina sent a text message to Fulbright asking her if she was still “following the white rabbit,” a common slogan for QAnon adherents that describes the “researching” of the conspiracy theory. Fulbright responded in the affirmative.
“Q is I… Q is you… Q is us… it’s literally data… collected by the white hats and then turned into videos and shit. But okay… yeah I follow Q,” Fulbright wrote back on Aug. 17.
I think it's going to get worse.
This distortion of the truth has led to wars in the past (see: Nazi propaganda). But here in the internet age the widespread dissemination of lies and falsehoods has intensified. QAnon, Fox News, White Rabbit Radio, Trump, etc., are all spewing disinformation intended to confuse and coerce the minds of the weak. Even CNN, MSNBC, and other left leaning outlets are slanting the news, albeit at a much lesser degree. Repeated enough times, and it becomes reality to them. And that's when 17 year old children are able to take an AR15 into a protest and kill people. Shit is getting real and those that are fostering the hatred are disavowing any responsibility for the results.

I'm not planning to write about that kid who was LARPing with live ammunition.
ReplyDeleteHis parents have to be shitting bricks. They're possibly on the hook for civil litigation, since he's a minor.
I attribute Ms. Fulbright's misfortunes to the rise and ubiquitousness of clingy plastic wrap, which has competed with and substantially reduced the amount of aluminum foil in circulation. If she had a sufficiently ample supply of foil in her kitchen, she could have made herself a foil hat to fully cover her head, which would have protected her from the Socialistic high frequency 5-G brain deception rays, which misled her in her unfortunate pursuit of what she quite understandably thought were miscreants.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm certain all of this will come out during her trial, and that she will be exonerated, even as the Great Plastic Wrap Conspiracy that is depriving us of our protective foil is exposed.
Yours very crankily,

My mother lives in Waco. I am not the least bit surprised.
ReplyDeleteI don't live too far from Kenosha. According to the trumpanzee' at work ( who of course would know such things) the kid has some pretty good amenities in jail. TV, pizza, internet etc. Bill Barrs firm is going to represent him pro bono, his home is being protected 24/7 by the military and the militia. Trump is going to order him released.......sigh
ReplyDeleteKenosha did a great job of reinventing itself after it lost AMC/ Chrysler. Thanks to the UAW local which demanded and got job retraining and other benefits, the state offered TIF districts (tax incremental financing) the area just west of Keno has really boomed. Lots of business has gone in there with good jobs. A real shame what has happened there.
ReplyDeleteSchizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder. See early-onset bipolar
affective disorder as other possible links. She is in the age group.
Starts with mild psychosis and then disordered thinking and delusions.
Cults form similar internalizations but are directed to a central
leader.
People so affected look to belonging and cannot process information
in a way that is consistent with what is considered normal especially
with factual material. They take facts and build stories around them
that are delusional but on the surface support the facts as they
interpret them. Some write books we call fiction authors others
live and believe those stories. So we have susceptible people that
would latch on to Qanon and cults that support their own personal
delusion.
My call is she is one mentally sick lady and needs serious medical
help. and lacking that jail time.
AS to the other idiot... most of us people of the gun understand
that their are tools and we are not tools. Going to a riot armed
or not ranks as seriously mental breakage. We all get trained or
at least read the best way to survive a gunfight is to simple not
be a participant or even near. Mob violence is when herd mentality
and too much adrenaline is mixed in a small space, its dangerous,
it is uncontrolled violence. His parent are going to be hammered.
Eck!
Eck!, and therein lies the problem. When the options are serious jail time or release, they release most of the time. With no real mental health system, the whole shebang having been dismantled and not replaced, despite promises made, the for profit sector has stepping into the void. For profit is a miserable way to run mental health, as it discourages healing and release and incentivizes longer stays and more treatment. It is also wholly focused on in-patient treatment and ignores the necessary follow up within the community, and leaves that to independent professionals who aren’t even aware of the people that need help and aren’t even mentioned to the people the for profits ship out.
ReplyDeleteTo quote George Carlin: “Think of a person of average intelligence. Now realize that half the people are stupider than that.”
ReplyDeleteThese groups calling themselves a ‘militia’ are fooling who? Simply put, it is vigilantism. These people are not selected. They are not recruited by any government authority. The are not provided any ‘riot control’ training. You bring long guns to an urban disturbance and what, exactly, do you think is going to happen? Everybody throws up their hands and says “Welp, time to go home now.”
At Charlottesville, someone used a car. In Kenosha, someone used a rifle. Unless cooler heads prevail, the escalation of violence will continue and the left and right extremists will get what they have been hoping for: civil war (which in itself is an oxymoron).

I've noticed similar mental issues in meth users. Whether the issues led to the meth use or the meth use caused the issues is up for debate, but the delusional thinking that is common among them is striking in its similarity.

Crank, I came in contact with my first foil-hat guy sixty years ago, a prof at Georgia Tech. I thought he was sui generis for many years before learning it was a thing.
ReplyDeleteHis diagnosis was said to be paranoid schizophrenia, triggered by a crushing workload during WW2. He was convinced it had been brought on by a mysterious radiation emitted by bats. Naturally, we called him Batman Brown and treated him with the casual cruelty undergraduates are famous for...
