ACORN Organizer: "I killed him . . . I shot him.'

2009-09-16

The fourth installment of James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles's undercover report on ACORN is supposed to drop within the hour at BigGovernment.com and will be aired on Glenn Beck at 5:00 p.m. This time the duo took their sting operation to California, where an employee named Theresa confesses that she killed her allegedly abusive husband, and laid some "groundwork" beforehand. Beck aired portions of the video on his radio show today, and Leslie Sherman of The D.C. Writeup wrote it up:

10:54am: As the audio continues, James divulges his aspirations to run for an elected office someday. In enthusiastic response, Theresa says she speaks with Congressman and Senators every day. She names Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator McCleod, and 62nd district Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter. Theresa says that "Eden's" prostitution money would be an asset to him in his quest to become a Senator or Representative.

11:01am: Regarding the legislators that she speaks with, Theresa says that they (most likely herself and their ACORN office) are lobbying these law makers in behalf of health care reform. Apparently, this "non-partisan" organization that gets government money for housing assistance is using tax dollars for health care lobbying.

11:15am: Theresa discloses that her ex-husband abused her and "beat the hell out of" her. She then continues to confess, "I killed him . . . . I shot him." She notes that she had laid some "groundwork" beforehand. When James and Hannah question her as to whether he was abusing her when she killed him, she says that he was not at that moment, but she knew he was going to, she said, "I knew it was coming."
Should be an interesting video. Will the mainstream media cover the ACORN story now?

#11 If you killed someone, wouldn't you want to keep your mouth shut about it and not go confessing to every guy that walks in wearing his grandmother's fur coat and pretending to be a pimp?

It's an amazing combination of stupidity and poor impulse control.

#10 Pfft. The accusations concerning assisting tax-evasion were far FAR more significant as they potentially reflect on the whole of the ACORN operation and its willingness to help crooks.

A murder for a personal reasons is politically utterly irrelevant though and doesn't reflect on the organization at all.

#9 She must have shot him after the divorce because divorce records for both marriages are recorded in Los Angeles. Maybe it was her "husband" and not her husband.

#8 The bottom line is that this is a confession of murder, and conspiring to conceal that it was a murder. After just a cursory investigation, with warrants obtained, this woman should be arrested and held until it can be determined if indeed a murder had been committed.

This will take at least a week.

#7 Wasn't that husband killing thing brought up in the context of keeping the 'hos' in line by being rough?

From what I heard it sure sounded like that murder was premeditated. Why the hell else would you "lay the ground work"? There's also the guy that she sent these two to see whom she said she could keep in line.

#6 Certainly wasn't the K-Factor this time. I suspect a non-prescription pharmaceutical imbalance.

#5 1) This woman has a screw (or several) loose.
2) If her former husband was seriously abusive (quite possible) I won't be seriously critical of her killing him (if she did), even if it wasn't at an actual abusing moment.
3) Bragging about it makes me wonder just what she was thinking - either then or when she shot him.
Can you imagine what kind of kids she and Kanye West could have produced?

#4 Will the mainstream media cover the ACORN story now?

Sort of. They'll skip all the unnecessary parts. They'll probably sit on their hands as long as they can, and then when the first one cracks they'll all have to jump on the bandwagon.

#3 with a restraining order against her.

The crazy ones are big fun until the shooting and stabbing starts.

#2 You got to wonder of this woman was 'just talking big' or had really done these things.

I would hope that someone might take a closer look and the disposition of any of her previous husbands....

#1 It must have been Tresas first husband that she shot, her second one (Ronald Kaelke) appears to be alive and well with a restraining order against her.
