Relax. This is the best thing that ever happened to her. Now she can sue the local authorities, sell the story rights, and will probably be on Oprah and end up with a lucrative career endorsing moving companies and trailer parks. ;)

No, pushing it sideways is always risky, it's not built to take that kind of stress. It's built to be pulled or pushed from the end. :headshake

No doubt about that. It has very little stability.

Garrett, a wiry chain-smoker who ran for re-election with the slogan of "More 'Dick' in 2006,"

Nice touch.

She paid a man named Chris "Pancake" Meyers $200 to put the mobile home on a trailer and move it a plot of land she was buying. She told the newspaper she believed Meyers when he said he had all the required permits and insurance.
Meyers began the move on Friday but hadn't gotten far when his trailer lost two wheels on U.S. 68 and came to a stop in front of Jim Gaunce's house, blocking much of the highway.

She is stupid for "believing him" and he is an idiot.

Garrett said over the course of the evening, he did everything he could think of to get the house unstuck so it could be salvaged. But, he said, several of the well-intentioned efforts did significant damage to the house. For example, trying to push with one truck from behind while pulling from the front resulted in the hitch coming off and Barton's blue-walled bedroom being crushed.

Lee Roberts, owner of Roberts Heavy-Duty Towing in Lexington, said his company was called in to help. "We tried to pull the trailer back on the road but couldn't without tearing it to pieces."

Pushing it off they road wasn't their first action Bruce. They tried to pull it and even called another moving company. After 9hrs of standing in the rain directing traffic with my whole police force (one deputy), I would push the damn thing off the road too. Hell I woulda done it well before when they did. Also the lady and the man she hired didn't have proper permits, sheriff should have ticket'd them, but didn't. I think he gave them more than enough time and then took the only action he really could. He did what was best for public safety, not one family and their house. The house was going to get torn apart even if they had tried to move it regularly at that point.

I didn't like how that article seemed to in her favor:
Barton, a grandma at 35 with gold streaks in red hair,

The Fuck? "Gold streaks in red hair" this isn't poetry news, idiot.

I did like the sheriff's slogan though!
