Only believes in #1 for this guy. Not sure about other crimes, other criminals.

Yes. And it tells you something about their past, I think. When I was in college I was at a friend’s co-op (think light hippie commune) where he lived with about 11 other people. Big house, shared labor, house meetings. One night one of his roommates brings a young woman home (two weeks after start of school—probably…

Oh, I laugh-cried-screamed when I read that. Running the gamut of emotions in a single exhalation of breath. That’s quality commenting, Dani.

Losing his job just means he has more time for hobbies. Like strangling women and getting sexual fulfillment...

I was wondering that, too. But then thought, no Jez would have mentioned it, I’m sure. Hah. Never doubt your gut instincts.

Montana, I say this as a concerned internet commentator. I don’t think you are better-personing right. Nope, I think you’re going about this all wrong. (eyeroll.)

But he needed it. Sex-u-al-ly. Needed. Small price for her to pay, a few hours of fear and a lifetime of horrible memories. He needs to be fulfilled. (My eyeroll just threw my back out.)

Because of this course this fucker is married with kids. Because of course he is. Share the fuck out of this story, folks. Someday his kids will be bringing girl children and teenage girls around. His wife might have her friends come to the house. Probably for the best that everyone knows not to let women (grown or…

Considering the issue of what Feinstein should have done with the letter—it’s called a moral dilemma because there are no easy answers. I don’t know what I would have done. I give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was trying to do the right thing.

Why should she retire when Grassley, Hatch and McConnell don’t?

Your comments are so important—thank you for reminding us how horrible we are as a nation about mental health. I’ve been haunted by the death of these two women all day. I cannot imagine being chained in a vehicle and drowning. It horrifies me.

She also seems smart and not obsessed with the spotlight. Both of those probably have her enjoying her low profile.

They do. And it’s adorable.

Thank you for the update.

Ooh, yes, they can do a hair sample test but I doubt they would know if any use is from that night. Still, I guess it could establish some kind of pattern?

I think there’s also a Lion’s Den over the WI border on 94. There used to be, anyways. I’m pretty sure. WTF. I clearly don’t know because adults learn experientially and I will never, EVER experience a Lion’s Den in any way if I can help it.

I’ve let myself get distracted. His wall paper could be baggies of pot and it wouldn’t matter. None of any of this has anything to do with his murder. She shot him when he was at home minding his own business. The pot is just an effort to make him (the victim) look bad, or to distract us. I’m going to ignore the pot…

But how did they ignore it at the murder scene in the first place, then? Like, this came up in the search. So it couldn’t have been that visible. I’m wondering if (say) a cop brought it in and put it on a coffee table and then was all “Heeey? What’s that, guys?” I mean, cops do plant stuff. Some lowlife cop could…

It also shows how hard it is to get your story straight. You’re right, cops get treated one way and the rest of us another way.

Where I live they do get first aid training. No idea if you retain it under pressure when you don’t practice it, though.
