Except, of course, of men bearing roses:
Cable news beauty Monica Crowley faced down her alleged stalker in court yesterday, telling a jury how a lovesick kook haunted her with disturbing e-mails and followed her around town – armed with roses.
“I was horrified, terrified to walk around the city where I live, to think this guy was following me,” Crowley said of suspect Ronald Martin, 41, in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Of course she was terrified. After all, those flowers have thorns on them, you know. She’s willing to face him down in court with plenty of police around, but Cthulhu forfend that she bother to tell the loser to get lost all by her poor little self.
What I find amusing is that the woman even admits that the guy never threatened her, either in person or via email. But the important thing is that she FELT threatened, so clearly the guy should be taken out and executed.
The fact that something bad could happen is no reason to assume that it will happen. Besides, if someone wants to take you out badly enough, they will take you out and it doesn’t matter if you’re a head of state with a massive bodyguard or a 95-pound woman without a family.
