Jesus with a Meth Chaser

In March of this year, Ashley Smith was praised as a hero for convincing
murder and cop killer (alleged) to turn himself peacefully into police
custody. As Fox News reported:

The only thing that helped Ashley Smith get through an over-seven-hour ordeal where quadruple murder suspect Brian Nichols held her hostage was her faith in God, Smith told FOX News on Monday. "I believe that's the only person that helped me through that," she said in an interview with "FOX & Friends."

As Lee Corso says, "not so fast my friends." It turns out that Jesus coupled with a shot of Meth helps.

Reported in this morning's AJC:

Nichols asked her for marijuana, she writes, but she had only a small amount of crystal methamphetamine. She thought offering him the drug might curry favor, but she says she refused to take the drug with him."I was not going to die tonight and stand before God, having done a bunch of ice up my nose," she writes.

Now, I'm not posting this to complain about this woman ethics or personal life. I post because the popular (a.k.a the too liberal media) wanted to make this story about Jesus coming down from the heavens on sunbeams turning the cold heart of a killer to love. Reality is hard and not always pretty, but it doesn't mean she is any less of a hero.
