State YRs activist attacked, in serious condition

This afternoon (thanks to FITS), we learned one of the Blogland's regular readers, Nettie Britts, a prominent figure in the state Federation of Young Republicans, as well as the Chair of the Richland County YRs chapter, was viciously attacked last Wednesday night.

She's also a student at USC, majoring in Technology Support and Training Management with a couple of blogs: Nettie gets Techy and Nettie Gets Techier.

She's currently in serious, but improving, condition in a Midlands hospital and has our prayers and best wishes for her recovery. We've checked in to offer our best wishes and any help that we can provide. We ask our readers to keep her and her family in their prayers and be ready for any help she might need in the days and weeks ahead.

Stay tuned for updates as we get them ...

(6/22, 8 a.m.) The WIS TV website has a report of the incident. We're going to link this, but caution that this information is preliminary and that the investigation is ongoing.

I know Nettie and she is a good person and did not deserve something like this. My prayers are with her and her family.

Earl, you aren't pissed, are you? You pay for the bullets, I'll give the officers cash bonuses for a job well-done.

Only a pissant beats up a woman. I pray for her recovery. That attacker of hers has an ass whipping coming.

Earl-I think we will all keep Nettie in our thoughts and prayers. As far as her attacker goes,may that person feel the full weight of the SC Judical System. What ever punishment he recieves it will not be severe enough...Tom Grimes SC6 District Chairman

One wonders if a change of venue might be needed and the case handed off to Scarlett Wilson.

How about Harrington for the judge?

If Scarlett Wilson and Kristi Harrington formed a band, do you know what it would be called?

Slayer!
