You Seriously Don't Want To Mess With Daniela Gaskie



If you give this woman, Daniela Gaskie, the former Miss Kentucky Latina, any shit, or piss her off in any way, especially if she's been drinking, she's liable to beat the living shit out of you. That's what she did to one woman, Mary McKinney, a pharmacist, who took exception to Gaskie assaulting her vehicle, which Gaskie apparently mistook for her own and attacked because it was locked. When McKinney objected, Gaskie kicked and gouged her repeatedly.

Earlier in the same evening she attacked a convenience store clerk, stabbing him in the neck-with a sharpie.

Mrs. Gaskie was arrested, and with charges pending, has been relieved of her crown by the Miss Latina pageant organization. Although the pageant organizers expressed a wish to help her with her problems, they stated she wasn't the role model they wanted to represent the pageant. Also, the fact that she turned out to be married, which she apparently hid from them at first, further disqualifies her as a bearer of the Miss Latina title.

Gaskie's reaction to all this? She is a victim of profiling, because she is a Mexican.

I kind of understand her anxiety. No one should be subjected to profiling. For example, there are bigoted people in this world who think beautiful woman who participate in beauty pageants are dumb, stupid, air-headed, self-centered bitches who think they should skate in life based solely on their beauty, but who otherwise have no worthwhile, redeeming qualities whatsoever.
