Bizarre Love Triangle
I really shouldn't think this story is funny, but I do. Down in Atlanta, the Hightower Manor senior citizens home was rocked last week by a scandal worthy of a bad paperback. This may have been the pilot episode for "Desperate Grandmas."
78 year old great-grandmother Lena Driskell shot and killed her 85 year old former boyfriend Herman Winslow at the senior home on June 10, angry that Herman had moved on to another sexy senior.
"I did it, and I'd do it again!" Lena Driskell yelled to officers who arrived at the home June 10, according to testimony. Police said she was wearing a bathrobe and slippers and waving an antique handgun with her finger still on the trigger.
God, that's funny. I mean, really funny. Especially when you look at her photo with the article and picture her doing it. I can hear it now... "I won't be ignored, Herman!" "What??" "I said, I won't be ignored, Herman!"
After the nasty breakup with Winslow, Driskell kept showing up uninvited at his apartment in Hightower Manor, the complex for seniors where they lived, Detective D.B. Mathis said. A security guard tried to calm her down, but Driskell drew out her gun, pressed it to Winslow's head and fired as many as four times, Mathis said.
Couldn't she just have put a rabbit in a pot like normal psycho women?
