Yellville school employee arrested

FYI making a long story short - this 44 year old employee is a very abrupt non-compassionate person; like the superiors she works for. When an employee was left in charge (a very compassionate, uplifting person, with excellent work ethics), and Stacy was asked to do something else that needed to be done; she was insubordinate and abrupt to the one left in charge, replying quote, “Honey you don’t sign my checks, and I know my job, therefore, you don’t have to tell me what to do.” That's the kind of person she is on the job and off. And the article and arrest tells you the rest, and a picture is worth a thousand words, it reflects her life and her choices towards herself and others. And get this -- she was able to keep her job, and the compassionate uplifting person with excellent work ethics who was left in charge was let go - even though as the person in charge, that same day, talked another employee into not walking off the job, and that person listened and stayed and finished out the day at work. And yes we are to pray for one another, but beware and use discernment, for lack of knowledge we parish.

I think you are a good person Happy wanting the best for people and this country with its terrible drug problem destroying too many lives. I couldn't agree more with you about most young people but every situation is different and I don't think you can compare this 44 year old(who actually appears more like 60) with the young people you describe. Look closely at the picture starting at the neck. See the surgical scar on the right? That's probably an ACF for a ruptured disc in the neck. So she is working as a janitor with all the required lifting tugging and pulling in constant pain radiating out of her neck down her right arm. Now look at the assymetry in her face with a slight droop in the corner of her mouth on the right. This may be an old head injury, a small stroke, old MS or maybe a high forceps delivery at birth but the brain isn't happy. We talked about the lack of teeth probably from drugs and the nose looks a little rerouted by something....somebody's fist? Of course the eyes are puffy from crying but note the lack of eye brows, eye lashes, frontal balding and thinning of the hair. This suggests a life of malnutrition and possibly biotin, b12 and copper deficiency none of which does any good for the brain or spinal cord. Is that a bruise on her forehead on the right? Maybe one of her many falls stumbles or automobile accidents from a life of drugs. But looking past all that there is a basic goodness in her face that's hard to ignore. In a different life and different circumstances I might be the one in the mug shot and she might be the one sitting by the fire watching the golf tournament while writing this comment. No I don't think we can compare this poor soul with the young people of whom you speak and it won't make the world a better place to meet out the same justice for her as them. The time to make decisions is over for her and now she is just trying to survive. I don't think she needs a push but rather some compassion.

You also may be right travelor, but I say anyone who has just been busted and getting a mug shot is feeling very low at that moment anyway. I feel pitty and or mercy for any one with a drinking or drug problem. I am just grateful that it isn't me because it could very well be anyone of us. We are the fortunate ones yet we sit back and judge others. I am tring to say that she deserves no more or less than all the young people that are judged on this site for having the same problem. I pray for all of them and wish them the best in life. But still yet they are the only ones that can make the change in their life, it can not be done for them they must want it, and sometimes if they have a chance to get clean for what ever reason be it willing or not willing they have the time to make some decisions about their life. I know it is extremely hard and many do not make it. We have to do what ever we can to push them in the right direction. If this were a small problem it would be different but drugs are taking over the lives of such a huge number of people everyday. I wish there was a quick fix, but that is not the case.

You might be right Happy but let whatever part of her sentence that is intended to be punitive be lenient. I don't think the things that happen to people in prison particularly help them. Usually those who want other people to think with a clear head by getting clean take there own prozac, ambien, oxycodone, soma and nightly "totty." Your reasoning assumes that it's a level playing field out there and unfortunately the world is frequently not fair. You are right that we make huge assumptions based upon a single photograph but there seems to be something in those eyes that looks organnic. And I think there is a difference between Pity and Mercy.

Wait a minute People ! It's OK to have a little pitty on the woman, but the only way she will ever be able to get control of her habit is if she hits bottom and looses everything. Then she may want help and if she is locked up she will not have a choice but to to get clean and then she can think with a clear head. She may decide she wants help. I can;t see having more pitty for her than all the young kids that have been judged on this very site for using drugs and stealing to pay for them. She is older and should be wiser than them. Why pitty her and judge the others.Pray for all of them. I think you feel more pitty for her because she looks so pathetic.

Reality Check. If she were say Asian do you think I would not have compassion for her? Well although I am white my kids are mostly Asian, my partner is African American, and my personal hero is a latino. But I guess you're right. If she were Asain I have to admit I probably would have more "pity." Do you know that every human being has a little box inside of them called self worth? And they didn't earn it. They can't make it any bigger or better and no matter how badly they screw up they can't dimish it. And even better than that nobody can take it away from them. So you see even though she has red hair I am not prejudiced against her. You have to look past that red hair and see that little box inside of her.

I just love all the support here. I would love to see more of it!!!! Although, I am wondering if she was of another race, would you still have pity for her???? Hmmmm......Love one another.....

No way she is in her 40's, the meth has taken it's toll on this ol hillbilly.

Red hair, red eyes(from crying) and caught red handed. Her mouth is closed so she probably lost all her teeth from years of medication and recreational drug abuse. I bet her MRI would show massive high signal throughout the subcortical white matter with a big plaque in the right parietal lobe obstructing forward processing. I bet she has a heart of gold and would lay down her life for people in her world and that she has done a lot of good along the way. I bet she doesn't live another 10 years and most of those years will be in severe psychological and physical pain. I agree with Monroe. Humiliating her, destroying the little dignity she had, taking away her job, all of which has already happened is punishment enough. She never had a chance in life. Let her go. Some day it will be our turn to be judged.

She looks so poor, down and out; don't punish her too harshly. Give her another chance to do right.
