I've been following the case. Monserrate is big POS and his girlfriend is a moron.

Yes, she's a textbook case of the victim who protects her abuser.

Well, I'll admit I didnt read all the comments - mainly because I was confused by the article as a whole. Frankly it wasnt well written, and basically I got the idea that they (the author, possible the defense on said Douche) was she was a "pretty person"...?

So... she "DESERVED" for him to fuck up her face/life? Because now, being a previous beautiful person/model and meeting someone on the internet, means she was asking for it? I'm really confused... this is basically the WORST excuse ever.

I know a lot of GR peeps hate on me for my opinion on Jasmine (Ryan Jenkins), but this is just stupid. Just because she met him on FB, I met my WONDERFUL boyfriend online approx 2 years ago, doesnt mean she was "asking for it" or anything. It takes some damn common sense: Meet in a VERY public place, tell your family/friends the exact situation - so they will know it's someone off the internet... and again, just be semi intelligent.

Take your own vehicle, dont just sleep with them with the FIRST damn meeting, be very open/honest and public. If anyone, like myself, was/is honestly seeking a decent relationship and meets those online... why be so secretive and ashamed?

I dont think she asked for it, I dont think the author of the so-called blog even came close to justifying anything... not even "shock -jock" worthy... just plain stupid.

That site is disgusting. This is also a gem.

[celeb_2006]

Do some of you go looking for sites that have hateful and racist rhetoric in them, lol.

No, seriously speaking, those sites are obviously based on the anti jew/people of color platform. It's not like they were 'regular' websites reporting this news, those sites are meant to inflame.

I'm shocked at that blog post someone posted upthread. Leave it to racist, hate-mongering bastards to use this tragic event as a means of saying "See what happens? Told you so." Ugh.

[JuicyLucy]

Those comments are absolutely horrid.
I can't imagine how she feels.
And she's only 26?

[Chilly Willy]

How awful.

[Wiseguy]

Extremely disturbing.

Well, it IS England so,.......he'll probably be loose by lunch tomorrow.

This really disturbed me,too:

But when 33-year-old Daniel Lynch, a martial arts enthusiast, emailed Katie to say he’d been following her career, she admits she was instantly attracted.
‘He was wearing a martial arts suit in his picture and I’d been doing some promotional work for martial arts in the UK,’ she explains. I guess I just expect more self control from a martial artist. But we don't know if he was really trained by professionals or just a thug trying to copy UFC in his basement. Probably the latter.


This is heartbreaking. My only hope is that some other women will see this and realize that when someone comes on sooooo strong soooo soon, it is never as good as it seems and is in fact a sign of a disturbed, abusive man.

And not one red cent should be spent assisting her the next time her beats her ass or throws her off a baclony.

To be fair, people can and do meet just as many abusive, crazy jerks at work, church, the gym, through friends, or just about anywhere else in real life. People are just as sociopathic when you meet them at Applebees as they are when you meet them on eHarmony or whatever. People keep their blinders on early in relationships no matter how they meet someone.

I saw his myspace posted on another site. Look at his 'mood' MySpace - Danny Lynch - 71 - Male - UK - myspace.com/teamstersinc76

What is it about New York? Isn't that also where a landlord hired a couple of goons to slash Marla Hanson's face (back in the 80's)?

Also, I thought it was in NY that a Pakistani guy threw acid in the face of a female newsstand owner who had rejected his advances.

Icepik, I read some of the comments and could go no further, when the one poster said white men NEVER rape, I nearly lost my breath on that one. What a moron. So much hatred. Will it ever end? Is my teaching my children to embrace all going to fail due to external influences? Gosh, I hope not. I teach my children to choose their friends by their character, not by race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

I just looked at those blog comments and someone C&P'ed Penny's post, and then posted a link to this thread. wtf?
