It's the story that keeps on giving!

I love it when I get to break out the "Winona" tag again, because it always has to do with the same person, one Ben Repinski. If you haven't read the story, do yourself a story and read it. To summarize, a 12 year old girl got drunk at a party, Mr. Repinski was drunker and got her to drive him home. Hard to believe though it may be, things did not end well.
I pretty much relayed what the Star Tribune said in their article, but I have now received 2 comments on it (that I have, through Google Analytics, determined to probably be Ben Repinski himself and Daniel Arndt, previously known as Sunglass Moped Guy... or perhaps one of them is the 12 year old girl) that have called into question the accuracy of my post. Or rather, in the words of this morning's anonymous comment:

"So reading through this story and realizing YOUR story is a FAKE. Made up parts!!! I wouldn't read anything else from the Victoria Times. Get your ^#$& story straight before reporting it. Isn't that your job?"

First, and as I say to all of my commenters, thanks for stopping by! Second off, let's see what parts I may have made up:
- Benjamin Repinski may not actually go by Ben
- Repinski may not have been smart enough to know that he needed a ride home, and instead of asking, he demanded the 12 year old to drive him home
- I misspelled sign, somehow.
Other than that, I pretty much went word for word from the Star Tribune! Your issue isn't with me, friends.
Also, I would just like to point out that this is a blog, not really a source for news for most people. Most smart people. The type of people that don't get into cars with drunk 12 year olds, or get plowed, throw on a pair of shades then hop on their moped.
That said, two angry comments in, I still haven't heard what actually did happen, but a lot of angry comments about what the leading newspaper in Minnesota said DID happen that fateful night. Please, tell all of our readers what actually went down that night! E-mail me at Thevictimes@gmail.com and we'll get this all straightened out!

I always make the strangest enemies

First it was the state of Oregon, then the fans of Eric Devendorf and now I have made a new enemy. This time it is Benjamin Repinski and/or his associates. Do you remember Benjamin Repinski? He was the one who bummed a ride from a drunk 12 year old down in Winona earlier this month. Lucky me, the post finally made it down to Winona a mere 9 days later, and has become the number one hit when one Googles "Ben Repinski".
Well, yesterday someone DID Google Ben Repinski, came across the story and left me with this comment:

I'm sorry but your a dumb ass. That's not how the story went at all, some parts were right but not all. Douche Bag

Nice. Let's break this thing down, line by line, shall we?
"I'm sorry but your a dumb ass." - No apology necessary, sir, but in the future, when calling someone else a "dumb ass" be sure not to include two grammatical errors in a 7 line sentence.
"That's not how the story went at all, some parts were right but not all." - Let me rephrase: I was entirely wrong, except the parts I wasn't wrong about. Also, I pretty much restated the facts from the newspaper, so your issue should be with the Star Tribune. Well, I guess the issue should really be that you got in a car with a drunk f*king 12 year old.
"Douche Bag" - I like that you capitalized both words, almost like a salutation. It almost seems as though you are telling us that your name is Douche Bag.
Well, Mr. Bag, good luck fighting the case. Thanks for reading

More from Minnesota crime

Let me tell you the story about a man, his name Benjamin Repinski. Mr. Repinski is from Winona and he is a fan of partying and making poor decisions. Recently, Ben (I'm going to call him Ben) went to a part and got drunk. Ben was smart enough to know he wasn't well enough to drive home, so he asked a young lady at the party to give him a ride. On the way home, the young lady confused the gas and brake, drove over a highway signe, through a yard and into a garden. Now would be a good time to mention that the young lady was also drunk. And 12. She was drunk and 12. Ben now realized the folly of his ways and sought to secure a different ride home. Still, he knew he had to get the car out of the garden and hopped in to the drivers seat and right into a shed. The police then arrived and booked Ben and brought his 12 year old friend (that he had been partying with) to the hospital.

The police obviously had questions. One officer was on his way to the hospital to ask the young lady involved a few of them. On the way in, he passed a wobbly moped, whose driver was wearing sunglasses. It was the wee hours of the morning, and the officer thought all this was unusual. Turns out, sunglass moped guy was on his way to pick up Ben. Sunglass moped guy was also drunk.

Let's review what we need to know about Ben Repinski
- Went to a party, picked up a 12 year old.
- Needed a ride home, and his two options were the 12 year old (drunk) and a guy on a moped (also drunk)
- When he tried to drive, he actually did worse than the drunk 12 year old

That, ladies and gentlemen, is Ben Repinski.
