If your response to the mugshots of those delightful flowers of femininity is “Pollinate. Oh, yeah, Pol-Lin-Nate!” you might want to hold fast to your stamen, at least, until you've had time to read more about how they ended up in those mug shots.
On Oct. 6, sheriff's investigator Brandie Hart went to Somerset High School and met with an 18-year-old man named “Joseph” [Full Name Withheld because he's a special needs young man and needs a little more privacy protection than most] in regard to an assault that occurred on Oct. 1. Joseph told Hart he was sitting at home playing video games when he received a call from Johnson inviting him to come over to her house and “hang out.”
…After sitting around for a while, some of the individuals in the group allegedly began smoking marijuana. Joseph said he declined to smoke with them and went outside. He began playing around outside with Avery Johnson. Joseph said he joked about punching Avery in the stomach. It was at that point the evening took a frightening turn.
“Joseph said that the next thing he knew, Amanda came up behind him and pushed him,” reads the police report. “Joseph said that after Amanda pushed him, he started running and while he did so, KJB came over and tripped him and he fell on his face. Joseph told Investigator Hart that as he tried to get up on all fours, KJB kicked him in the rib cage and Valerie kicked him in the leg. … Joseph said that Valerie then put her foot on the back of his neck and stepped down on it. Joseph said he also saw Amanda stomp on his left arm with her foot.”
Joseph was eventually able to break free from the group and ran off. When he returned to the home, he found one of his shoes in the toilet and another in the bathroom sink. He grabbed his shoes and sat on the porch, where he told investigators that he thought to himself, “I cannot do this anymore.”
I know what you're thinking.“Biff, who hasn't been there? Who hasn't been promised sweet, sweet love, and, instead, been curb-stomped, left unshod and desolate outside on the porch, contemplating the decisions that led him to rock-bottom and a soon-to-be-had, barefooted
walk-o-shame home?”
And if the story of Shoeless Joe ended there, I'd be with you on this, waving this whole tale of woe off, saying to Joe, “Dude, it gets better, hang on, some time in the future the right bad girl will come for you.”
But it doesn't end there. It goes on, and it gets worse.
