"I want to be as big as I can if it's going to stop a bullet."

You can't make this stuff up.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS/AP) Most people hate their love handles, but Florida resident Samantha Lynn Frazier says her love handles saved her life when she was shot entering an Atlantic City bar.

Frazier says she heard two pops when she walked into Herman's Place early Saturday. The 35-year-old then felt pain and saw blood on her hand after she grabbed her left side.

Atlantic City police say Frazier was an innocent bystander. Detective Lt. Charles Love says the gunman was aiming for a man who escaped with a bullet hole in his down jacket.

The suspect remains at large.

Frazier tells The Press of Atlantic City she had been "hollering" how she wanted to lose weight. She now says "I want to be as big as I can if it's going to stop a bullet."

Most of the comments on this are fine, but I have to say, some of them are uncomfortably, blatantly racist. Am I the only person who has a problem with that?

Getting that fat would probably be more expensive than just buying a decent level IIIA vest.

Think of how many thousands of dollars she must have spent on burgers and french fries!

 

[evansvillethompsongunner]

As has been said - maybe if yo' tummy didn't reach out three feet, Shawanda, you might not have gotten grazed... and if you're counting on the ballistics efficiency of GELATIN-LIKE FAT, maybe you should rethink your position on existing as a human being.

Probably. Lol. I'm as indiscriminately racist as the next guy. Life's too short to not make fun of everyone.

I'm thinking that you don't know what "racist" means...

No, I was twisting the word. I'm assuming that most of the racism is in the same theme that mine usually is; light hearted indiscriminate(making fun of everyone's racial memes) humor.

Kinda hard to convey that idea across a forum board. *shrug*

Gotcha. I think.

Someone as obese as her should be more concerned with heart disease than a bullet.
