Filthy Asheville Hippy Don Fairbanks Assaults Elderly Travelers Rest Woman
54-year-old Don Fairbanks is an Asheville institution. He works for the city as a “media technical specialist” in the Business Services Division and when he’s not doing that he’s supporting Asheville’s hip art scene, doing the graphic design for the Asheville Film Festival in 2009. It’s safe to say that Don Fairbanks is the best Asheville has to offer.
Which is perhaps why he felt entitled enough to attempt to murder a 73-year-old woman named Shelby Walker in a road rage incident over a parking space. Behold Ashvillian immaturity in action:
According to Walker, Fairbanks cut her off — nearly striking her vehicle — and took the parking spot that she was about to pull into. Walker said she threw her hands up and said to her 79-year-old friend who was with her in the car, “He’s an idiot.”
Walker said Fairbanks began cursing at her and “had a wild look in his eye.”
After she found another parking space, Walker said she and her friend approached the restaurant to have breakfast, and Fairbanks was waiting for them with his arms stretched out, blocking the door.
According to Walker, her friend told Fairbanks that he took their parking space, “and that’s when he just let all hell break loose.”
“He got right in my face — I mean, nose to nose — and was saying the same thing over and over: ‘F*** you, f*** you,’ ” Walker said. “I actually was frightened. It scared me, and to get him out of my face, I popped him, and I don’t remember anything after that.”
Police say Fairbanks responded by striking Walker, who says she is 4-foot-11 and weighs 120 pounds.
“I don’t know if he hit me with his fist — I really don’t know because I don’t remember the hit,” she said. “And I don’t remember hitting the concrete.”
Walker said she was dazed for a few minutes and couldn’t get up until two male Cracker Barrel customers helped her to a chair. The restaurant manager called police, she added, while Fairbanks “paraded” into the restaurant to eat breakfast before police “paraded him back out.”
Walker’s injuries included a concussion, whiplash and a contusion on her hip, she said. She also had redness and swelling on her face, according to police.
So let’s break this down. The peace loving “progressive” Ashville official took time away from spreading rainbows and fairy (read angel) dust to travel to a Hendersonville Cracker Barrel, steal a parking space from an old lady then wait for her in front of a restaurant to scream obscenities in her face. When the 73-year-old got scared and slapped the man for screaming at her (which is what he had coming) he beat her up, then thought he could casually eat at Cracker Barrel while the staff was picking up the old woman he beat down.
That has Asheville written all over it.
Me and the Mrs. went to Asheville a few weeks ago, because we never had been there. For northerners who haven’t been there don’t bother – it’s kind of a cross between Hartford, CT, Newark NJ and the parts of Greenwich Village where you buy drugs. What struck me the most about it though was the people. No matter the age they were all the same carbon copy of what people think is a hip, intelligent “liberal” American. They all had the same clothing, the same tattoos and many were having the same conversations over and over again. It’s a town full of angry, arrogant posers pretending to live in a city. They look down on the rest of the Carolinas and it shows. Fairbanks was demonstrating the culture of Asheville, displaying the disdain the people of Asheville feel for the rest of North and South Carolina. His disdain was so great, so all consuming, that he literally thought he could savage an old lady and then sit down for a meal as the people around him cowed.
If anyone has a picture of this degenerate let me know and I’ll post it. And if you have plans to spend money in Asheville don’t. Why reward these people for pretending they aren’t part of the Carolinas? Greenville is less pretentious, and has much better restaurants. And if anyone runs into Fairbanks before his May 12th court appearance cut him off – then when he attacks you kick his ass.
Donald Wilson is a Filthy Degenerate
The above baby boomer is 60-year-old Donald Wilson from Travelers Rest. When a mother wanted to quickly run it to the Target on Wade Hampton Blvd she left her 13-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son in the car. At that point Donald the pervert drove his van up next to the children, unzipped his pants and began fondling himself in front of he kids. The daughter called her mother and Wilson was later arrested.
You won’t be surprised to learn he’s done this before. Hoping for leniency he wrote an apology to the young girl which revealed that he had done this before in the Greer area, to an unknown amount of young girls. But here’s the worst part of the story.
He can only be charged with a misdemeanor because he never showed the girl his junk. Apparently in South Carolina it’s only a misdemeanor to jerk off in front of a 13-year-old in public if you’re careful not to expose your penis. He’ll likely only do 30-days.
It’s unlikely that this pervert isn’t a child molester or a child porn collector so I’d urge the police to check his hard drive. In the mean time parents if you’re expecting justice for your children make sure they actually see the penis of the pervert that’s assaulting them. Fox Carolina has a video report.
Wesley James Williams is a Filthy Degenerate!
Allegedly I’ll say so I don’t have to spend three or four hours explaining to morons that you can’t sue me for defamationecause I called your scumbag son/husband/boyfriend (who has been arrested publicly) a hurtful name. But I personally think he did it, look at that pervert look on his face.
According to Fox Carolina Wesley Williams is accused of forcing a six-year-old girl to perform a sex act on him when the two were alone at a Traveler’s Rest home on January 16th. A judge denied him bond and he’s currently cooling his heels in the Greenville County Detention Center.
WSPA is reporting that Williams is a firefighter. He looks kind of doughy to me so I assume most fires in Greenville County are on the first floor and can be fought while sitting in a lawn chair.
