More TSA Shenanigans
Let’s ignore the fact that I’m a bit confused on how Parker could be emptying her bank account by depositing checks into it. Let’s also ignore the subtle misogyny in the PPD & TSA’s actions here; John Parker is not Kathy Parker’s keeper, nor does Kathy Parker belong to John Parker. Let’s think, instead, about this scary concept: without knowing the situation or anything about the couple, PPD & TSA could have inadvertently handed a battered wife back to her abuser.
I’ve known a lot of divorced couples over the years. I know one man who got married and divorced very young and was willing to leave the marriage with only his boxers if it meant he was no longer married to his ex-wife. An old friend has parents who were at one another’s throats the entire time they were married, only to become best friends after their divorce. A third situation was a gigantic mess involving the death of an estranged wife and a bitter next of kin fight with her mother over her funeral arrangements. None of these couples have felt compelled to flee the state in order to avoid their ex. NONE.
My third contribution to Gonzo Times is my take on the Kathy Parker/intrusive TSA/Philadelphia Police bullshit piece that has been making its rounds.
