The frustrating thing is that this selfish ditz (you've seen her picture on TV, I stand by my claim) will undoubtably BREED and have more selfish dimwitted babies.
Georgia has a problem with gay marriage and yet apparently has no laws against socially-retarded marriage? (or engagements) Come on Georgia, get your priorities straight, put this girl in jail.

One line from an ABC/ AP report reads:

"As police began searching for the blue van she said her captors drove, an impromptu pre-dawn street party broke out outside the home Mason and Wilbanks shared."

So let me get this straight: Aside from the size of the planned wedding, these two were already SHACKING UP, and she STILL got cold feet? Had she no shame about living with him without marrying him? I guess there are some mindsets I'll never understand. At least I knew better than to put myself in that kind of situation before I got married. Perhaps it would be best if they broke off the engagement and parted ways, but somehow I doubt that will happen.

I guess what happens in Vegas REALLY stays in Vegas.

At the very least, you gotta think that Michael Jackson must be happy about this new national distraction.

600 invitations? 14 bridesmaids? Yikes! Planning a wedding like that would be akin to planning D-Day.

I am not thinking crime here. I am thinking civil liability...

Of course, idiocy is not a tort --- but as has been pointed out, there appears to be evidence that she thought this out before she left, so we have an intentional act that she knew or should have known would result in her community's law enforcement becoming engaged, to their financial detriment. The weakness is whether or not she owed any duty of care to those who were put to the expense of searching for her. If so, she could be liable for her negligence. But one does not typically owe a duty of care to the community in general -- there is no special relationship between her and the police, unless you argue that one was created when she undertook her plan.

Aw hell, I guess you just have to shake your head and grumble -- and wait for some state legislator to file another bill.

Actually, from a legal perspective, she did nothing wrong, so you cannot charge her with anything. Leaving your fiance and going to New Mexico is not a crime - even if you don't tell him. Ethically wrong? Absolutely. Unfortunately, ethically wrong doesn't put somone in jail. She didn't ask for hundreds of police officers to search for her. Having said that, I'd like to see her charged with filing a false police report. Get her on whatever you can get her on, I say. But again, legally, she didn't do anything wrong up to that point.

I would agree with all of the above. Unfortunatly the only chargable crime she may have committed is the 911 call made in New Mexico reporting herself as being abducted. It would ba a misdemeaner but none the less she needs to be charged.

This was a premeditated act (remember the cut hair found during the search) where she attempted to hide out until het "issues" were resolved.

Question: Greyhound bus lines doesn't serve Deluth Georgia. The nearest service is in Gainsville Ga. 30 miles away. If reports are true, that she left with no money, no wallet or credit cards, how did she get 30 miles away?

Best case, more proof she planned this ahead of time and stashed cash somewhere.

Worset case: I smell a rat. A previously unknown boyfriend rat.

These stunts really piss me off. She really should be held accountable for the expense of the public resources spent on her behalf.

Same with nitwits who climb mountains in the winter and have to be rescued.
