Story here. Excerpt:

'David Gorn, 72, was leaving a diner Monday night when Harris allegedly confronted him and accused him of abusing a turtle.

Police later said it was a decorative item -- a porcelain turtle if you will that she claims was damaged.

But Harris' lawyer said it was an actual pet turtle.
...
Whatever the case, after the argument, cops said Harris grabbed his keys and took off in her car. Harris drove right next door to an adjacent parking lot and Gorn followed desperate to get his car keys back.

Cops said that's when she assaulted him with her Honda Accord, allegedly striking Gorn once, waiting for him to get up, and then hitting him again.
...
Harris' lawyer said she's ready to fight the assault charges.

"There's two sides to every story and she looks forward to telling her side," Seeger said.

Harris left court under orders not to contact the ex-boyfriend, who is recovering with a head injury.'

Just the fact that the argument is being presented this way, shows what we think of men as compared to animals.

You're right, ax. The way the article is presented, its almost as if the journalist doesn't give a crap about the man, and cares more about the turtle.

I'm totally against animal abuse, but I'm also against systematically running people over.

"It was a living, breathing, turtle."
Really? And a man is not living and breathing as well?
