Donald Francis, who police believe was homeless, stood outside the Marathon station at Eighth and Linn streets late Monday night, asking people for money.

That annoyed Geraldine Beasley so much, Chief Tom Streicher said, that she shot and killed Francis when he approached her,

"He asked her for a quarter," the chief said Tuesday.

Beasley, 62, of Walnut Hills, complained to someone else at the scene about the panhandling, Streicher said. Then, he said, when Francis asked her for money, she pulled out a gun and fired.

"That's apparently all there was to it," the chief said.

Finally, some sanity in this crazy mixed up world.

Do you know how BAD you smell?

I could see killing a guy if he asked for a dollar, but a quarter sounds a little excessive to me.

Maybe she should just promise to switch to decaf and we can all forget this ever happened.

The homicides bring Cincinnati's total for the year to 43. That's 10 less than this time last year

At least the article ended on an up note for the city of Cincinatti.

I think the solution here, is to make it easier for homeless to carry guns. If he was armed, he could have defended himself.

Fucking bitch. If she gets out of prison, she should be forced to panhandle for a living.

Let's see:

$500,000 bail + attorney fees + almost certain jail time (or time in a mental institution)

vs.

25 cents

I'm guessing she didn't think this one through.

Imagine if he stuck his hand in her closing elevator door, at the last second, to ask her for a quarter. We might have a fucking genocide on our hands.

[midwestjeff]

Anybody got a quarter?

I don't know, 25 cents was a lot of money back in her day. What's the rate of inflation for 25 cents based on her age???

Using 1950 as a reference point, it would be $2.13 according to the Federal Reserve. She's still a bitch and a cunt.

Beasley was in court today and ordered held on a $500,000 bond. Her attorney, Mass Ionna, told Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Fanon Rucker that his client has mental issues.

Beasley's history with the court system dates back 15 years, mostly traffic charges, eviction cases and civil judgments both for and against her.

Court records show no felony charges until now. She was fined in 2003 for improperly transporting a loaded gun after officers found one in her van.
