    dude! she would have to apologize to everyone, but since it came outta her mouth then she should apologize to the latino community. thats just making us look bad in front of the whole nation..i really really really hate when ignorante people decided to put other ethnic groups down cause of their personal problems...

    I Don't think she owe the hispanic community nothing. Honestly if the U.S people beleive what she was saying, I consider them more ignorant for beleivin those types of allegations.

    It got closed because of that? It was civil convo! I still stand by my point. Race wasnt an issue as much of it being one of social class. Let it be some poor white people who ran off it would have beena police report filed and buff, thats it. Its about those wiht money and those without. So many gwinnett officers covered this, you would think brian nichols was looses again. Im just saying if it were you or me, a report would have been taken, and thats it.

    Thats why when your cars get stolen, and you try to tell the officer "Well, I think this was done because of ..." ------"Its ok sir, we'll take care of it from here". Ever wonder why there are no fingerprints taken, no checks for broken glass? Because you have to know someone in law to get it to work the most for you. People get shot the fuck up on Jimmy Carter all the time. I think there have been over 30 homocides in gwinnett this year. How many do you recall listening to on the news? LOL, ya. Rick VS Poor. But fuck it, next topic

    Saw an interview this morning where they had interviewed "friends" and "acquaintances" who all pretty much said that the girl is an attention hog.

    They are also expecting her first public statement today.

    I also read a report that allegedly she was in contact with the city of Duluth and it hinted around to the fact that she said she had no problem paying the city back the $100k they are claiming. If that is true, that would definetly put it to bed IMO.

    Yea, you wouldnt hear any complaints from me if that were to happen. In a sue happy world, im surprised the city of duluth doesnt do a class action suit for emotional distress

    Latest update:

    Runaway Bride Denies Having Cold Feet


    By DANIEL YEE
    GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks apologized Thursday for disappearing just before her wedding day, and insisted cryptically that her flight was prompted not by cold feet, but by ``a host of compelling issues, which seemed out of control.''

    Wilbanks, whose three-day disappearance led to a nationwide search, initially told investigators she had been abducted by a Hispanic male and white woman with a handgun, a story that quickly unraveled. Albuquerque, N.M., police said Thursday that Wilbanks also claimed she had been sexually assaulted, but recanted with the rest of her story.

    In a statement read by her father's pastor, the Rev. Tom Smiley, Wilbanks said she was ``truly sorry for the troubles I caused.''

    Wilbanks said her flight by bus to Las Vegas and eventually to Albuquerque was not in response to her pending wedding, which had been scheduled four days after she vanished.

    ``Those who know me know how excited I've been, and how excited I was about the spectacular wedding we planned, and how I could not wait to be Mrs. John Mason,'' the statement said.


    ``In my mind, it was never about the timing, however unfortunate. I was simply running from myself and from certain fears controlling my life.''


    Wilbanks said she has asked for the forgiveness of her fiance, their families, friends, churches and communities ``and any others I may have offended unintentionally,'' adding that she was ``deeply grateful and appreciative to everyone who responded on my behalf.''


    Many of those in the community expressed disgust when they learned that she had run off without telling anyone.


    ``Each day I am understanding more about who I am and the issues that influenced me to respond inappropriately,'' Wilbanks' statement said.


    Smiley, who has been counseling Wilbanks, said she ``poured her heart and her soul into this statement. These are her words and these are her feelings.''


    Wilbanks' attorney Lydia Sartain has said her client is seeking professional help for her problems and is in no condition to publicly answer questions. Wilbanks has been in seclusion with her family since her return to Georgia late Saturday.


    Her statement did not address Duluth Mayor Shirley Lasseter's request that she repay the city for the costs of the search. Lasseter had also wanted Wilbanks to commit to perform community service in the town.


    The city is considering a lawsuit to recoup its costs, while Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter is investigating possible criminal charges against Wilbanks for falsely reporting a crime. Porter said Thursday night he had not seen any information on the sexual assault claim and was awaiting an FBI report on Wilbanks' statements to authorities in Albuquerque.


    Her statement also did not specifically address her false claim that a Hispanic man had abducted her. But the president of the group Hispanics Across America backed down from his threat to protest outside her home.


    The group's president, Fernando Mateo, said members were satisfied with her general apology.


    ``Our purpose was not to crucify this woman but just to let the nation know they can't freely use the name 'Hispanic' in a stereotyping manner where Hispanics are perceived to be thugs and criminals,'' he said.

    Here is the full statement:
    At this time, I cannot explain fully what happened to me last week. I had a host of compelling issues which seemed out of control — issues for which I was unable to address or confine. Please may I assure you that my running away had nothing to do with ‘‘cold feet’’ nor was it ever about leaving John. Those who know me know how excited I’ve been, and how excited I was about the spectacular wedding we planned, and how I could not wait to be Mrs. John Mason.
    In my mind, it was never about the timing, however unfortunate. I was simply running from myself and from certain fears controlling my life.
    Each day, I am understanding more about who I am and the issues that influenced me to respond inappropriately. Therefore, I have started professional treatment voluntarily.
    I am truly sorry for the troubles I caused, and I offer my deep and sincere apology. I ask for John’s forgiveness and that of his family. I also ask for forgiveness of my family, our friends, our respective churches, our communities and any others I may have offended unintentionally.
    I am deeply grateful and appreciative to everyone who responded on my behalf. I thank you for every expression of support and effort. Your sacrifices of time and personal inconvenience touched me deeply, and I hope your spirit of care is not lessened.
    I understand that many people wanted to hear from me personally today, and I wanted to be here. However, I look forward to days ahead when I am strong enough to speak for myself.
    As John said on countless occasions recently, may we follow the teaching of Scripture, in being kind to one another tenderhearted, forgiving, just as God in Christ forgives us. Thank you.
