I don't get this??? How can you miss spell something said?

Because the quote itself was likely contained in some sort of police report or press release. The reporter wouldn't be there when she actually said that. It would be probably noted in a police report and it was a typo. You are quoting the report itself, so you would put the [sic] in there if there was a typo in the report.

Though this be madness, yet there is meth in't.

Almost as old as the Earth. Crazy!

Transcript of what she said that the reported copied? Original transcriber spelted it wrong?

Reminds me of the guy who found the world's oldest tree..... after he cut it down.

She's actually doable.

Uhh, The Tree?

You're talking about the tree.... right...

OOOORRR are you talking about the thing that burnt it down lol

 

[airmangataosenai]

When I heard meth I knew it had to be Florida.

 

[kittens]

Someone snitched on her, really? I mean, what she did is fucked up, but the cops aren't going to do anything positive about the situation.

They should get life in prison. They burned down a world treasure. Being a douchebag and a crank head is an automatic 3 strikes in my book.

 

[Riggs]

God damn junkie. Listen I have more sympathy for drug users than most people, even if my opening sentence indicates otherwise. But burning down a tree that has been around for 3 millenniums because you had to make meth (probably 1 bottle method to boot, fucking amateurs) just piss's me off.

Would.

And the Grand Canyon is just a hole in the ground.

I love your new avatar, though I miss reading your posts in nibbler's voice.

Would.

You guys are insane. AVOID METH ADDICTS. She'd eat your face.

 

[Sanjuro]

Ancient trees are hard to come by. Meth addicts are a dime a dozen.

 

[The Faceless Master]

meth in the title made it an easy guess.

 

[Grinchy]

Make like one and leave this thread.

hahaha nice posts

 

[Bossun]

SO...can we buy 3500 years old charcoal for barbecues now? How good can that taste.

 

[adamsappel]

I'm most surprised that a meth-head hasn't already hocked their cell phone and computer. She hasn't spiraled all the way down into Faces of Meth territory.

 

[elrechazado]

Really sad, that tree was almost as old as the earth.

Don't be stupid. It's only about half as old.

Orlando is meth central. I had the misfortune of living there last year. I wanted to check out The Senator while I was there, but alas, me and the bf had a fight. Shame I will never see the tree again.

Going by your avatar and the content of the post, I am assuming you're gay. It might be that it's big in the gay community there, but I've never heard of meth being an issue in Orlando in general. I lived there from birth and sporadically during college. My parents and still live there (50+ years) along with my 32-yr old brothers and none of them have ever mentioned it. I have a feeling it's pretty isolated or on par with any other big city. It is by no means some sort of epidemic.

Really sad story. I know they had reversed course on the arson story apparently but this is obviously even worse.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

it's just a tree

shes just a methhead.


I like mine better.

I hope this is a stealth troll.

 

[Regulus Tera]

For fuck's sake...

But it is older than Jesus. I don't see the outrage.

 

[Steelrain]

I hope this is a stealth troll.

it wasn't very stealthy.

 

[Tesseract]
