My Ex, The Trained Assassin (or Not A Military Related Story)

My Ex, The Trained Assassin (or Not A Military Related Story)


When I saw the headline on the bing news feed that someone's ex was an assassin, my thoughts immediately went to the idea that a woman was making allegations against a veteran who was a trained military sniper. What brings me to talk about the story is that this is anything but the case.

Busch, a NASCAR driver, stands accused of physically assaulting his then girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend is seeking a no-contact order, which Busch is fighting. In fighting the order, Busch has alleged that his ex-girlfriend is a trained assassin, a mercenary killer who has killed people both abroad and in the US. He further claims that she has returned to their shared abode, covered in blood.

Where this seems either bordering on delusional or criminally culpable in the duplicity, Busch went further to have his former assistant (described in the article as being an assistant to both Busch and his girlfriend, though Busch was likely the one he assisted for the most part) testify that she had made similar claims to him, or rounding up immigrants on the Mexican border. Farce turns to perjury.

Of course, Busch does say that people can believe that he is crazy for making such outlandish allegations. Instead, this is an attempt to cover his perjury and the perjury he no doubt paid for from his former assistant. Think him crazy, and you might dismiss the fact that he violently assaulted the woman. Believe the other person's claims that the woman wanted to reconcile, and you might believe that the assault only became an assault after reconciliation was no longer possible.

We won't go into how people who experience domestic violence often refuse to press charges on the people they love and refuse to leave, regardless of how violent they get or how many bones are broken. That would be repeating a story only too often told. Does it make the violence any more acceptable if it isn't reported until reconciliation is no longer considered, though? Violence is wrong in its inception, not based on how long the recipient of it takes to report it to authorities.

But I'm not on the jury. Busch's lawyers would have screened me out of it long before his claims became so outlandish. Oh, and he admits to putting his hand on her face and her head “tapping” against the wall as he told her to leave. But he maintains his innocence.

No. My initial thought that he was insane when reading the headline was wrong. He isn't insane. He's attempting to hide perjury.

He is a loon IMHO. He has a well known (in racing circles) anger issue and he lost his ride with one of the most prominent teams because of it. NASCAR should address this, in a fashion much better than the NFL has.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
