I am generally a person who helps.

A parent cannot give permission for someone to sexually abuse a minor child. Sheesh.

I took a Sociology class at the Univ. of WA called Murder. Ms. Rule spoke to our class after we read her book, I remember being able to tell how haunted she still was about the whole thing (this was in 98 or 99). Ted Bundy hunted women in the neighborhood near campus known as greek row, where I lived when I was taking…

Yeah, Vanity Fair released images from the new Tarantino film that Sharon Tate’s murder plays heavily in and I had similar feelings. From the plot descriptions I’ve read, Sharon Tate is just a plot device.
 

Really struggling to understand how someone can watch this trailer and take it so literally as to think it’s a cute “will they or won’t they” romcom about a man trying to beat the system. What makes Ted Bundy interesting to people (at least to people who find serial killers interesting) is that he was an insane…

Yes, this seems like a pretty straightforward telling of the Bundy story and his relationship. It’s gross and uncomfortable because that’s who he was and that’s how the story played out.

Yes - he would put a cast on his arm and walk through a college campus, drop books in front of a victim who was kind enough to carry them to his car and then commit unspeakable acts.  He was charming, handsome & no believed him capable of the crimes he committed.  He worked as a volunteer at a suicide prevention…

Right. And part of the case was that the trial was such a circus because so many young women showed up to support him.

Being old enough to remember his arrest, subsequent trial, and dearth of documentaries for the next decade; this is exactly how the narrative was pushed.

“Bundy, Monster Hiding Behind a Handsome Face” or what seemed like a hundred different takes on that title. Every documentary focused on how handsome he was, how…

I started watching the Netflix doc about him last night and I can’t stop thinking about if my daughter (or anyone) was beaten, raped, murdered, and disappeared, how I would feel if she went long forgotten and her murderer went on to become a pop culture icon who all anyone can say about him is how perplexing it was…

“In the wake of Timmons’ resignation, people have raised the question of whether he should have been fired years ago,” Board President Tom Pomeroy said. “While in hindsight it may appear to be an easy call, it was not that simple in the moment.”

She then paid $233 for a bottle of Amoxicillin

It appears that she was willing to pay cash for the treatment since the first clinic she tried to get him seen under his real name. It wasn't until they refused to see him without a guardian that she then went to another clinic and used her son's name. The first clinic should have tried to help them by asking for a…

No, the claim for the visit and script totalled $233, so that is the amount she defrauded the insurance company. This article mis-reported that part.

I mean, I wouldn’t put the blames on the courts here.  The diversion agreement seems like a best case scenario if the insurance company was pushing to prosecute.  The problem obviously is that you have to stoop to commit a crime to get common antibiotics for a sick child.  

Inmate A: what are you in for?

She paid $233 WITH INSURANCE? I’m flabberghasted at how utterly FUCKED the system is at perceiving who is committing which crimes in this story!

I don’t think you could have a prouder moment than turning yourself in because you fraudulently obtained some medicine for a poor and sick child.
