Woman Travels 200 Miles, With Gun in Hand, to Kill Mean Internet Commenter
Dear Switched commenters: please think twice before verbally bashing someone online! We have to imagine that there are more people out there like 25-year-old Breana Greathouse, who traveled over 200 miles with a gun in her hand to kill someone who was mean to her on the Internet.Breana (which we've also seen spelled "Briana") was apprehended on Wednesday morning in Ottumwa, Iowa after coming all the way from Kansas City, Missouri to allegedly kill a man named Forrest Jamison, because "she believed that he made derogatory postings about her on the Internet," according to a statement by Ottumwa police. She's currently being held in jail on a $35,000 cash bond, although her mother Susan Greathouse -- who was also arrested for calling and harassing Jamison -- posted bond yesterday.
No one's sure where these postings were published, or what they said, but we've seen the dark hearts of Web commenters before, and we're pretty sure it wasn't "omg ur so adorbz." (We did manage to find Jamison's MySpace page, as well as a possibly unrelated but highly suspicious series of postings against "Breanna Greathouse" and about someone named "Forrest Jamison" on the Underground Hip Hop Forums. The angry sentiment and timing seem to fit, but we can't be sure.)
The irony, as Gawker points out, is that everyone's just going to hop straight to the comment boards to say something horrible about Greathouse. But don't do it! We're not condoning her actions in the slightest, but cyberbullying is out of control. PEOPLE, PLEASE BE NICE! Thank you, and have a wonderful day.

i would directly link you but this jewish hip hop website has several technological shortcomings
those should be a good start for now
please don't hesitate to register user names and ask us all direct questions about these two lunatics who used to make terrible posts here

@(Unverified) This Jew wants to know how the hell religion has anything to do with the website you reference or the story itself for that matter. "Jewish hip hop website?" Keep your prejudices to yourself!

Looks like Breana has everyone scared to comment. I must say that there are some commenters I wish I knew where they lived.

Wow. This woman is a complete nut case.......and I look forward to seeing her pull up in my driveway just as soon as she is released.

@(Unverified) It is possible that the poster meant no disrespect at all to Judaism. Believe it or not, there is such a thing as Jewish Hip-Hop, and at least one successful performer is Orthodox. This may, in fact, be a truly "Jewish Hip-Hop" site. If you don't believe me, do an Internet search on the topic.
Of course, OTOH, the poster may be an anti-Semite who is making a slur, but I try to assume the best of people, not the worst.
I don't know if I can post a link on this site, but if this works, take a look at:

MORONS LIKE THIS DONT UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER PEOPLE OWN GUNS AS WELL. AND QUITE POSSIBLY BIGGER. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE MOM AND DAUGHTER ARE BOTH SPOILED BRATS THAT NEED TO GROW UP. FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS FOR ALL NOT A SELECT FEW. DONT LIKE IT TOUGH KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

What an idiot!! Letting someone you don't even know, hundreds of miles away to get to her like that. She obviously has some sort of imbalance. She's more than welcome to show up at my home, I got something waiting for her.

I'd like to know how she identified this man so she could find him. It's true there are mean spirited people who use every blog as an opportunity to criticize others. But the way I handle them is to absolutely never read comments to my posts. I take their power away by not responding. They have to go pick another victim. I refuse to engage in verbal fisticuffs with people who are my social inferiors.

Identifying people isn't all that hard. She found out (maybe from a social networking site) that his hometown was Ottumwa, Iowa. She googled his name or simply called 411 to find out his phone number. With a phone number, she could use a reverse directory to find his address. Ottumwa has about 25,000 people but there shouldn't be a lot of people with his name. It's really that simple.
