Patricia Konie is suing!
Patricia Konie, the New Orleans lady that had her gun stolen and was forcefully evacuated after being body slammed by the police is suing (via Ravenwood and SayUncle).
Good, I was afraid she had dropped off the face of the earth. I wrote about Patricia in this blog entry, which also has several video links.
It it seems neither SayUncle nor Ravenwood noticed the contact point in the quoted press release, Ashton R. O’Dwyer. He’s the “line in the sand” guy from another newscast that I linked to.
Presumably, the lawsuit will publicly identify the CHiP pig that did the body slam. I’m pretty interested in the disciplinary action that he received due to his performance. I also hope they publicly release the entire video that Ken Wayne shot, as I’m curious about the clip that got cut out.
The press report also claims that she also has not had her property promptly returned. So despite the NRA victory, who got there guns back? Was it only Buell Teel? How many guns were stolen? Has the NRA dropped the ball here too, being too busy beating their chest over the victory?

Tackling little old ladies is bad for your pocketbook…
It seems that Patricia Konie, who was tackled by a cop on national TV as they “evacuated” her from her home in New Orleans, has decided to sue.
