Breeze Etienne, real life tard, tried to kill her kids

[Dakota Valkyrie]

I have met this woman. Her brother killed my daughter's best friend. I was standing next to the victim's mother as she expressed her sorrows on the death of the victim. She seemed so nice... yet very misguided.

It is kind of sad that the headline in the paper is about your asshat brother rather than yourself...

Sister of Moe Gibbs faces charges
Sister of convicted murderer faces charges for trying to kill her children

Breezetta Etienne, 31, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder for trying to kill her daughters, ages 3 and 4, during a suicide attempt. Etienne is the sister of convicted murderer Moe Gibbs. Gibbs was convicted last fall of murder in the 2006 death of Mindy Morgenstern.

Police found her and her two daughters Sunday after her estranged husband alerted them about text messages from his wife. He received one saying “kids already drowsy amazing its so fast” and another two minutes later saying “my head s foge”.

Etienne and her daughters were inside a running SUV in the garage of their home. The garage door was shut and a hose connected to the vehicle’s exhaust pipe had been placed inside the SUV through a hatchback door.

When officers arrived, Etienne opened the garage door and tried to drive away. She stopped and unlocked the doors after an officer pointed his gun at her and ordered her to do so.

All three were conscious when police arrived. The two children were taken to a hospital and treated and released.

Two days before the incident, Etienne sent her husband a text message: “I’m going to put the girls in the car and drive off a bridge.”

Etienne has been outspoken about her brother’s innocence and was a constant fixture at his two trials.

She was notably absent toward the end of Gibbs’ second murder trial. At the time, she was being investigated by the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Grand Forks (N.D.) Air Force Base Office of Special Investigations for alleged criminal conduct.

________________________________________

Leading up to the trials, Breeze used every tard phrase ever seen on this site. She was always quite vocal about her brother's innocence. She was active on the 'net in trying to rally support for him. This activity got her into hot water during the second trial for violating the gag order. One of her typical posts: http://moegibbs.blogspot.com/

She had been a member of the Air Force as a Physician's Assistant. After an investigation, she no longer seems to be. Rumors swirl that this had to do with raising money for her brother's defense (they hired a private lawyer) by selling prescriptions.

As far as I know, her husband is still an active member of the Air Force in a non-doctor medical capacity (corpsman?). He has served several tours in Iraq.

Her brother: the mess with Moe Gibbs, convicted rapist an murderer... At one time, Gibbs was convicted for attempted murder. After release, he moved here and changed his name. Despite his record, he got a job as a jailer. He was a neighbor of Mindy's. DNA linked him to her murder as well as a years earlier rape described as one of the most violent in the area.

He was convicted of murder during a second trial after a first one was deadlocked. He eventually pleaded guilty to the violent rape. He also pleaded guilty to many charges that he sexually assaulted women in jail while he was their jailer.

Much, much more to the whole situation - worthy of a front page here but somehow never even made it to the forums :( A mother that seemed to disown him. A wife that put up with him. A girlfriend that tattooed his name on her neck. Her condo burned down. Death threats on lawyers. Two trials. A mess...
________________________________________

Those poor babies. They are sweet beautiful kids. I hope the husband does what he needs to for those kids. He always seemed to be just along for the ride in the events leading up to this.

I feel a bit guilty thinking bad things but DAMN - in addition to being a tard, she tried to kill her kids in what looks to be revenge on her husband. Only thing more asinine would have been if she had succeeded.

Dakota,

I am sorry to hear that this has touched so close to home with you. Especially if you ever met those kids. I am happy to hear the kids have been released, hopefully to their father's custody where they should stay. A bit misguided is nothing, it sounds like she needs a lengthy stay in a psyche ward.

[~Absynthe~]

Wow..Dakota I am so sorry that your daughter lost her best friend, what a terrible loss for her!

I am glad that the children were found before it was too late. I hope that they have a nice life with their father, and that they never have the chance to see their mother again.

I am glad that Moe will not have the chance to hurt anyone else. It also sounds like this family is really screwed up.

[Unamused Cat]

What an awful thing to happen. I am glad they rescued the children in time.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A Minnesota woman accused of trying to kill her two children has been arrested at the Fargo airport.

Police Sgt. Jeff Skuza says officers got a tip that Breezetta Etienne might be headed toward the airport and they were waiting for her Friday.

Etienne is from East Grand Forks, Minnesota. Police there say she violated a restraining order that barred her from having contact with her estranged husband, who now has custody of her two children.

The 31-year-old Etienne is charged with trying to poison her two daughters with vehicle exhaust in June. She has pleaded not guilty to two counts of attempted murder.

I may be confused but she was trying to kill them. She even said so in her texts. So WHY is she pleading not guilty to attempted murder? I mean, she WANTED to KILL them. That would be MURDER. Since she was stopped from doing so, it would be ATTEMPTED MURDER.
So what's her complaint now???

[Aelwynn]

Heh, in her blog it says:

"Outsiders" are bringing down the state of North Dakota. The 'N' word has never been used so much as what I have heard of late.

I'm one of the "outsiders" that married into the ND state. Love it there. Do I use the word nigger? You betcha. Do I use it to ALL black people? Nope. Go ahead and groan me for this, but I'll explain just in case.

In my mind, there are two variations of all races. Let's use "crackers" as an example, since I use that word too. There are white people that are upstanding folks and make a good impact on society...and then there are crackers that are wastes of space and cause massive problems for other people, such as trying to kill their kids.

So really, it's not a racist thing with me. It's a different type of "labeling" people. I use all forms of racist words for everyone else too. If people can call me a cracker, I can call them a chink right back. ;P Equality is nice.

To me, this woman IS a nigger. Not because of the color of her skin, but because she almost killed her two kids and then tried to run from the law. I hope they stick it to her ass good.

Her attorney prolly said to plead not guilty in hopes of a deal or that reasonable doubt/temporary insanity might save her ass.

[Silvahalo]

Absolutely horrific for these little children. I am so glad they are out of this terrible situation. So many children get caught in the middle and are almost always the only real victims.

[Nell]

Dude, I did groan you. That was an asinine way of excusing your own racism. And I don't even like to read that word, so glad we don't hang out.



"If people can call me a cracker, I can call them a chink right back."-quote Aelwynn

This doesn't even make any damn sense. Is the person in your senario that is calling you a cracker asian? Is that it? Cause why else would you say chink? I hope your kids aren't listening to you talk like that.

Calling people the N word? I realize it means a lazy ass person but to be called a nigger is degrading to anyone, but especially an African American. Cracker, chink? That all sounds so racist. She is a fucked up human being for sure, but racist name calling, I personally cannot do that.

Nigger is a word that is not allowed said in my home. I took care of too many African American elderly people. That word sickens me. I've brothers and sisters, family, friends whatever one might call them in different colors...I don't wanna hear them called niggers, chinks, bean suckers, slant eyes....whatever. It's mean & uncalled for IMO.

To each their own I guess.

[Countess Olenska]

WHAT??!!??

Do you know what a Cracker really is? It's not an insult, though people try to use it as one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_cracker

The term is used as a proud or jocular self-description. Since the huge influx of new residents into Florida from the northern parts of the United States, and Latin America, in the 20th century, "Florida Cracker" is used informally by some Floridians to indicate that their family has lived there for many generations; and/or that they were born and raised in the state of Florida. It is considered a source of pride to be descended from "frontier people who did not just live but flourished in a time before air conditioning, mosquito repellent, and screens

Referring to anyone as a nigger implies they should be in your fields picking your cotton to support your family. Not a single reference to their families in that last sentence.

I see what you are saying but I think that taking the meaning of nigger so lightly is pretty ignorant.

Call me a cracker, honky, wtf ever I don't give a shit. I don't usually throw blows like that when someone upsets me. I'll say you're being a dick but never something about a race or some physical flaw. It just makes you look like an ass.



Anyways, WTF is up with this woman? I'm glad they caught her before she had chance to do any further harm.

I pitty your children. That's all.

[Aelwynn]

Do YOU really know what a nigger is? So what if the word was used back in the slave days. There were lots of other words used then too, that used to have negative meanings - yet we still use them. That happened hundreds of years ago, get over it already. You've been paid your reparations, and if ANYONE should complain it should be the Native Americans. We screwed them over a lot worse. As I've clearly explained prior to saying it, I don't IMPLY they should be in a field picking cotton. Assuming I mean that, even after explaining it, is pretty much retarded.

nig·ger:

slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc.

That's the definition I abide by. If people would stop using the word so freely then it wouldn't be a problem. I see blacks call each other it all the time as a term between friends. Yet when a WHITE person says it, it's a problem. Zomg, everyone scream racism because she used a word everyone gasps at! I know the old term meaning of it, I also know that it's being used differently now.

Like I said there is a difference between niggers, and black people. I just differentiate between the two using two different words. There is a difference between a honky/cracker/redneck and a law-abiding white person. There is a difference between a chink and an upstanding chinese person. The list goes on and on.

I don't use to it degrade decent people, I use it to degrade people that deserve it. So what if I use a word that 200 years ago meant something else? It's a new century and other people use it all the time for different meanings.

I am far from racist. But thanks for assuming I am. I just use words the rest of you disapprove. Oh well. Like Hip said, with all maturity I might add, to each his own. Pity my children all you want, which by the way is pretty pathetic of an insult. I am not racist, but I DO use racist words when I'm describing someone of ill-repute. Why call someone who raped a kid an asian bastard when describing what they look or at like? I'd rather call them a chink, and not degrade their culture more.

And Nell it does make sense. Scenario: I'm called a honky, I will respond with Nigger or whatever else applies. It's called Equality. If you don't wanna be called something racially slurred back, don't mention it or don't call someone else it thinking you can get away with it just because you are a black person/asian person/hispanic person.

Cracker

Originally the white slave driver because he would "crack" the whip, hence the noun cracker;opposite of nigger, an insult to whites

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cracker
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejorative) <- If you're gonna look up the meaning, at least click on the right link. THAT'S the meaning of cracker. Not the other bullshit you pasted.

In my opinion, stop calling each other Niggers and Niggas and all that other shit. When a white person says it, don't GASP at them. The person you are looking at didn't enslave your grandparents. They just see you using it, and assume automatically there is no problem with the word. Since I am older, I use the words to mean other things...easy way of explaining what a type of person is.

Oh and look at this:

To me, this woman IS a nigger. Not because of the color of her skin, but because she almost killed her two kids and then tried to run from the law.

Just because she is black doesn't mean I think all black people are niggers. Nah, I said just the opposite. I said she was a nigger because she tried to kill her kids. Not because of her skin color, I could have called her a disgusting spic and you all wouldda groaned too.

Everyone jump on the "she's racist bandwagon now". It may make me look like an ass, but since when do I care about what ya all say? I'll keep talking the way I wanna talk, and you guys can keep groaning me. ;P Oh and for the record, I'm FAR from racist. A lot of my friends giggle at me when I say this kinda crap, and they completely agree. Most of them are from different origins.

Side note: If I REALLY wanted to be racist, I would have called her a porch monkey too. But I didn't, because I don't use that phrase.

[Nell]

Your friends are racist then too. What the hell Wynn? I cannott believe you are acting like this. Not who I thought you were at all. Two of my kids are mixed race and I would be horrified if a friend of mine spoke this way in front of them. I don't care if you have an explanation for your obvious hatred.

Why not just call them a fucked up baby raper and leave race out of it? I do not understand your logic. Sigh....I am sad now.

[Aelwynn]

Nell, I understand exactly what you are saying. But if my hubby is standing behind me asking what the baby raper looks like, I will explain that they are a chink. It comes off as racism to people that don't understand, or people that GASP when a racial slur is used by a white person.

I wouldn't use it in front of my own kids, therefore I won't use it in front of anyone else's kids. Just common decency. To assume I would, is pretty messed up. A LOT of people don't understand why I use the terms, and they are adults. I wouldn't want kids picking it up as insults etc.

Not ALL words that have racist meanings are used purely for racism. It's not an "obvious" hatred of ALL people that are that color. Which is retarded to assume so. I think that there are two sides of the spectrum. One is a nigger, and they should just stop breathing. The other is an african american, and I'd prolly pat em on the back. It's a decent rationalization. I use the word to describe people that should be described like that. Not for normal people, or small children.

If ANYTHING was an excuse, it would be the..."you called me something bad, I'll call you it right back". If they stop using the words to describe or greet each other, then I'll stop using it. Just because a WHITE person says it, doesn't make it a racially motivated hate word. If I were black, you'd be applauding me (hell might disagree with me now, but you get my meaning).

Actually, you'd be surprised how many BLACK racists there are. But I'm not going to bother getting into that. I won't speak that way in front of kids. I don't in front of my own girls. I do it to my hubby sometimes, and my mother.

My friends aren't racist, and neither am I. We do get a giggle outta calling each other racial slurs though, and having people stare at us like WTF. My friend Chippo calls me a honky all the time, I call him a chink. It's a love-hate relationship. Yesterday I think he called me a redneck stars and bars freak (which I'm not lol), and I responded by telling him to go get some more ramen (which he hates).

Just because something has a hidden meaning from centuries ago, doesn't mean that it's totally wrong for a WHITE person to use. If I were black, I could say it all the time and people would be "ah ok, they are black". If you want equality, then don't get pissed when I abide by it. Don't call your buddy a nigger and expect me not to use the word too. Don't call me a honky and expect me not to respond back.

Once again, pretty sure if I were a black person. You all would shrug and be like "well she's black she can say whatever she wants". Would you have the same amount of hatred for me if I called her a cracker/honky, that you do now? I doubt that.

But, I will agree to disagree. Don't bother insulting my kids and my way of life again. I'm taking the mature route. :Gets off soap box: Scream at me in PMs for all I care, or gossip about this later.

[Countess Olenska]

that would be ignorance.

[Nell]

Assume much? I don't like racism at all. Period. Black, white, purple, brown, I don't give a shit, racism is wrong. The fact that you don't do it in front of kids shows you know it to be wrong. I would never applaud anyone using the n-word, and I am tired of reading it. So, final word from me and my rainbow coalition of kids...

Racism is wrong and hurts my heart. There.

[Gilbrit]

I may be confused but she was trying to kill them. She even said so in her texts. So WHY is she pleading not guilty to attempted murder? I mean, she WANTED to KILL them. That would be MURDER. Since she was stopped from doing so, it would be ATTEMPTED MURDER.
So what's her complaint now???

By pleading not guilty, the DA has to PROVE she was planning and wanted to do kill her kids.
If there is not enough evidence, she can be found not guilty or get a lesser sentence.

It's a game in the court system.
I hope that the jurors will see through the game and find her guilty of attempted murder and lock her away for a long time.

[Aelwynn]

Well considering as how it's NOT racism. I completely understand. Not everyone in this world thinks of a color when they look at people, I don't. Just cause I use a word or two doesn't make me racist.

[impqueen]

That noise you just heard? Was my brain imploding. What the HELL?!

Morbid and I talked at some length about words - which ones to keep, which ones to censor. The racial terms came up and we chose not to censor them for a couple of reasons.

1.) We didn't figure that the word "nigger" would be used on this site more than once. We assumed that it would get said one time and that would be it - that our members wouldn't stand for the use of a word which, in its common usage, is extremely offensive to entire groups of people who did suffer under slavery and racial discrimination.

2.) We figured that anyone using racial slurs - for ANY reason - would immediately out themselves as a bigot. The use of racial terms when other words - any other words - can describe someone is inexcusable. Morbid put it very well to me when he said, "Anyone who uses the word 'nigger' in 2008 is exposing their complete lack of class and character."

But then - THEN - we get notified that an infraction has been requested for a "personal insult" in this thread because Lynn said she pitied Aelwynn's children - we were told "it does nothing to further the thread." Well, hello, when you bust out the N word on a forum like this, you're kinda looking for some personal shit. It's not that hard to figure out, folks - you just deeply offended 99% of our readership and you're pissed someone got mad about it?

Da-amn. I'm gonna go haul out my vintage Big Lizard In My Backyard CD and cue up "You and Your Racist Friends".

[Aelwynn]

Well, see there's a difference between using a racial slur that isn't really racially motivated and insulting someone/someone's kids. So what if I used a race card? The person arrested did too. Some people don't like being insulted via race, I am one of those people.

I am NOT a bigot and I am NOT racist. Like I stated in chat, I am far from it. Just because someone uses a racial slur, doesn't mean that they are racist. It just means they are saying a word, that /gasp some people don't like hearing.

My LACK of class/character is really not an issue here. I'm not even from the south. ;P Like I've explained numerous times, it wasn't a direct assault on her race. It was an attack on how the accused of the thread was acting.

To quote a friend of mine: Everyone has a yin and yang. White/cracker etc.

But anyways, just because I used a racial word that a lot of people dislike and assume mean so many different things etc. Doesn't give someone the excuse to personally attack someone's kids. That is against forum policy, and using racial words is NOT. I checked. Personal attacks in a thread are against policy. I didn't personally attack anyone on this thread, I attacked the woman that tried to kill her kids. This screams favoritism to me.

You can't tell people not to insult other board members (which I did NOT), and then allow only CERTAIN people do it. That comes off as favoritism to the fullest. You don't insult someone's kids. That's a low blow, and she offered nothing to a thread but an insult.

And if 99% of your readership is offended by a word that is used by their OWN race. Then maybe they should take a good look at reality because a TON of people use it, and usually it's not because of race.

[Lizard]

Well, see there's a difference between using a racial slur that isn't really racially motivated and insulting someone/someone's kids.

She didn't insult your children. She said she pitied them.

I cannot make this any simpler. If you do not like it, and it offends you, don't do it to other people in return. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Really Wynn, she didn't threaten you, she said she pitied your kids. If Polis doesn't get infracted for telling me she is gonna fly out here and kick my ass then why should Lynntoast get one for giving her opinion? If you even for a moment thought Imp or Morbid showed favortism then that disproves it, because Polis is no ones favorite.

dont bring me up. besides me kicking your ass happened before the rules. so bring up a VALID example. i'm trying to play nice :)

[polis]

She didn't insult your children. She said she pitied them.

it's one of those passive aggressive comments that are supposedly a no no too.

:D

[Nell]

You bring me up all the time sugarbritches. I'm playing nice too.

[polis]

You bring me up all the time sugarbritches. I'm playing nice too.

no i don't. i'm glad that you believe i do. *kisses* but at least if you bring me up, don't try to twist the truth. they didn't infract because there was no rules then. ;) so that can't show aelwynn that there isn't favoritism.

[Nell]

Sigh, Polis. Troll on some more. Wynn and I agreed to disagree. It didn't even involve you.

[Aelwynn]

I didn't even notice polis was in this thread...?

Just because you disagree with what I say doesn't mean that you have a right to tell me what to say or when to say it. I have freedom of speech ya know.

I use the term n*gger meaning an ignorant person. I use it for white people too. Omg, I'm such a terrible person for it. Everyone lynch me.

If you are gonna get mad at me for using the word. Get mad at everyone else that calls people crackers etc on here too. I don't see NEARLY as much hate towards them, IF any, as compared to what I've seen towards me.

And apparently I agree with Polis. It's a pasively made comment, that's an insult. It offered nothing to the thread. It was a one-liner that was an off-handed insult. There are TWO violations in that post. I won't even deny that I reported it either. So now, she's in violation of TWO rules. One liner that offers nothing to a thread. And an insult. Which it WAS an insult, no matter how you look at it. It is an insult.

Maybe I should say I pity her mother for giving birth to her? I'm sure that would be in violation too though. I'm sure I'd get reported and this time I would be in trouble.

[polis]

Sigh, Polis. Troll on some more. Wynn and I agreed to disagree. It didn't even involve you.

oh nell, i didn't say anything till you mentioned me. so if you don't want me to say anything. don't mention me. i've told you this before.
