The Sheriff wasn't calling anyone a hillbilly. He said
"I've got cars going by sayin 'you dumb bunch o' hillbillies' and people are cussing me because they were stopped in traffic."
He was saying that he was being called a hillbilly as he tried to deal with the situation.
Nine hours and several failed rescue attempts ...is it unreasonable at this point to just get the thing shifted anyway you can? he didn't intend to destroy her home, it just happened and he's being forced to defend that decision.
He's only criticising her choice of mover to point out that the whole situation was not his fault in the first place. She picked the mover who screwed up and didn't have insurance to deal with the screw-up. She was stupid and/or poor. the sheriff didn't immediately bulldoze the stuff -it took nine hours before that happened. Who says she wasn't given a chance to get her stuff out of there? Maybe she was stupid and trusting with that decision too?
Why should someone else take the blame for that. If you can't afford to do the job properly but decide to go ahead anyway, the risk is all on you. Perhaps the accident happened because there was 12 people's worth of crap in the mobile home and it wasn't properly packed? just a thought.....
seems to me everyone want to take the "poor woman's" side when she has no case to place blame anywhere but on herself. Mind you, the sound clip doesn't say she's blaming the sheriff either, but it's sure as hell what the newscasters are implying.
sure, feel sorry for her. but don't blame anyone but her.
