Woman Shot at Barisone Farm

@FitzE

I’ve read COTH for years, but don’t post b/c I no longer ride. I follow along for nostalgia and to keep abreast of new developments in the various sports. I only created an account recently when the 2nd Japanese Olympic lottery ended and my Japanese friend got no tickets so I hoped to find some here. But, growing up in the NE, I was drawn to this story and just binge read this whole thread.

My main take away is: when you find yourself involved in a lot of drama, you must look at yourself. One thing happens? Okay, stuff happens. Two? Whoa - unlucky. More than that? If you have even average intelligence you have to step back and say: I am the common denominator. The shooting victim here seems not to grasp that idea.

She says she has a “squeaky clean” record. Hon, no, you don’t. I have a squeaky clean record and you know what that is? It’s the fact that you can search my name in every state I’ve lived in (4) AND every foreign country I’ve lived in (5) and you will find literally nothing. Not even a speeding ticket, but certainly nothing like trespassing, assault with a deadly weapon, stalking, etc. I mean no. thing. That is a squeaky clean record.

I drink socially and I have never, not once, been in an altercation in a bar. And this includes carrying a drunk friend out of a bar in a famous night life area in Asia with locals hazing us as we tried to get this girl into a cab. Still nothing. So, no, LaLa - you don’t have a squeaky clean record. For your own sake you need to realize that your life and your experiences are outside the normal range and not in a good way.Getting shot doesn’t make you a good person. Sometimes bad things happen to bad people. That could include MB, too.

I’m also a lawyer licensed in the State of New York and I know that they have MB dead to rights: you don’t get to shoot people to resolve conflict. MB dug his own grave and he will lie in it, rightfully so. But LK has no look in here. As others have pointed out, she isn’t a party to his prosecution. It will be the State of NJ v. MB. A civil case may follow, but right now she has very little to do with it. GJ and others posting here don’t help or hurt the case. Their posts are meaningless to the case. They have relevant testimony or they don’t. Airing it here changes nothing, legally.

GJ, don’t let anyone brow beat you. Post what you want or stay silent. Neither choice will have any legal effect. If it helps you to get it all out there, then get it out. If it draws LK’s attention back to you, then stay quiet. Play it like you feel it.

Great post. Thank you!

Ah, if only we could say that about “advise.”

You owe me a new keyboard.

@MysticOakRanch

Totally off topic, but this thread could hit 3000 replies! Is that a record for COTH?

Are you kidding?

There’s one in H/J that started almost exactly eight years ago that has more than 20,500 replies. The most recent one was yesterday.

This thread might be a strong contender for an award for the highest ratio of wacky responses, which is really saying something around here.

I agree with you. I have never posted on a forum before, made my first comment here and have already been accused of creating a new identity to cover who I really was and I think also accused of being LK. That’s ok but nope. Just a 70 yr old lady still getting on a horse with an opinion.
Oops, should have said old lady with an opinion, not “horse with an opinion.“ On second thought my mare is quite opinionated. Love her! 😊

Well, coincidentally your writing style is very similar to someone else’s that popped up in here soo… It just leads one to think.

Particularly when that first post ended with a comment about how wonderful LK looked in the picture. :rolleyes:

Oh, hello house guest. That’s the most fitting moniker I can conjure, and the most apropo for this topic.

Did you bring some crab dip? Submariner quac is disgusting.

Does anyone remember the hysterical posts on the Dressage Forum by Willem and Corrine? Must have been 10 years ago or longer. What a great, great horse and owner!!!

There is not a doubt in my mind dragonfly90 is LK, I am all to familiar with her writing style, words used, etc. 70 yro please LK you tortured me for four years I know you well. Bye “my Mare is quite opinionated, love her 😁. I have seen 17 of the messages in my messenger from you with the same bye and happy face expression. Your unreal and quite pathetic

Simple answer, did post it under my original account because it is my original account. First time I have ever posted on any forum, against my better judgement. Interesting experience. Horses are calling, bye.

First time I have ever posted on any forum (under this screen name - there, I fixed it for you), against my better judgement (judgment). Interesting experience (how so?). Horses are calling, bye. .

All 148 COTH pgs, numerous FB posts and publications said on this topic, I have come to one conclusion and that is I fear for Lauren Kanarek. I am not convinced that she has the ability to understand how incredibly fortunate she is, having been blessed with a 2nd chance at life. To have survived 2 to the chest and have the good fortune to tell about it, is truly a miracle. But rather than being humbled, it appears this experience has embolden her. Her reckless behavior will continue until she messes with the wrong person. I will not be surprised to hear one day that her life has ended prematurely. You cannot continue to cause pain without consequences. You cannot destroy without being destroyed…it’s a principle. So, take heed Lauren. Stop and get help…you’re going down a path of self destruction. It’s only a matter of time.

@girl Joey: Don’t let anyone on this board silence you. You have every right to be here! My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your son. I can’t even imagine.

This is the most intelligent and candid post on this thread.

Random lessons from this thread.

Eviction. Harder than you’d think.

Background checks. Worth every penny.

People will ask questions if you’re shot.

Steve McQueen looks good in pink and has big feet. What’s not to love?

All useful information, to be sure. I must admit that I am mostly oblivious to Steve McQueen. But he does look great there!

It is a trophy, and it is one of a huge selection of fun emojis available on my iPhone. And I did not have any idea that all those emojis worked on this BB until just recently. In fact, I think I found out about it earlier in this thread.

So add that to the list of useful information contained here!

This has gotten ugly pretty fast. Believe what you want, I think I know who I am and it is not LK. I expressed an opinion without attacking anyone. Continue your bashing of LK, have fun, I have no skin in this game. I don’t get into internet arguments. As my late husband always said, “you can’t win a pissing contest with a dick.”

Um, I think it’s pretty obvious that she just did mess with the wrong person.

You are right, she will not change. People seldom do.
