Sounds like someone couldn't stand her ground. Nothing an M4 with underbarrel grenade launcher and ACOG scope couldn't fix. (I base all my conflict resolution techniques on Modern Warfare 3 for XBOX.)

Are, or were, any of the combatants linked to the Service Employees International Union?

If that's how the olds and the lady politicians do it in Connecticut, no wonder Aaron Hernandez felt that he needed gang affiliation and lots of guns. Connecticut, the new South Central.

It seems pretty clear that "he was not there with the Krummels" is trying to say that he didn't arrive with them, and wasn't directly associated with them (either or both of these assertions could be true or false, of course); not that he wasn't present near the scene.

The relevant verb here is "thrown". It's not too hard to imagine two or three off-balance steps back, and a fall, and viola, ten feet.

What I fail to see in this charming tale is what had Ms Brown so up in arms in the first place. Had the Krummels threatened to kneecap her because she failed to put forth Mrs Krummel's application? Had they left flaming bags of dogshit on her porch?

I appreciate that the initial physical contact appears to have been Mrs Krummel pushing Ms Brown, but it isn't usually considered polite to run up to someone who is trying to get out of their car and wave things in their face. It seems like there is some backstory here, which I probably don't care about.

Oh, it's 7:45. I believe I'll go have a pre-Fourth glass of American wine.

If only some or all or any of them had had guns, then, uh, well, it would have made it all better. Somehow.
