So sorry for what you and her friends and family have had to bear, and that there was not a way for treatment to improve her outlook/ condition. I knew her before and agree with all you’ve posted about her pre MS decline.

That’s quite a persecution fetish you have. I’m not one to kink shame. I’m just saying…

The legal definition of a “homicide” is the death of a human being at the hands of another human being, which this is according to the facts. It does not necessarily mean a “murder” which I believe is what you are referring to and includes the mental state of malice (ie “intent,” in its various forms).

Oh, wow, yikes.  I thought Bbron was just posting a strawman but yeah Rhonda definitely has a double standard.

Everyone needs to know she was diagnosed with MS, specifically infecting her brain, and more specifically the parts of her brain that has to do with reason, logic, judgement, personality. It was a slow and horrible decline. This has affected her friends and family so terribly. My wife and I are in utter shock. She used to be such a wonderful person. Totally amazing. Athletic. Beautiful. A doctor.  She had it all. I can’t tell you how sad this is.

But, Neighbor, these same people shushing everybody else often are responding to every issue — and often with a decided and marked lack of empathy or compassion – sometimes bordering on glee. For some reason, this person, this obviously politically affiliated person, engenders admonitions of blanket deference to compassion. Considering the sources of this admonition, the hypocrisy is absolutely worth noting. And hopefully it serves a learning moment – that the world is full of tragedy and that many deserve compassion, whether it’s somebody who was lost to the unrecoverable depths of conspiracy theorizing or somebody who lost their home and turned to drugs.

Hey Neighbor!  No one expects anyone to respond to each and every issue, Bbron is actually referring to the many numerous examples of these people actively expressing their lack of empathy and concern for others.  Here is an example There’s many other example too, pretty much anytime the discussion of homelessness come up.  It’s so consistent that I doubt they’re about to stop, so if you just keep your eyes open, I’m sure you’ll see it for yourself sooner than later.  Happy Tuesday.

You just watched how someone can descend into homelessness, mental illness, crime, and violence, and how it should have been handled better, sooner, and differently.  We’ve watched you both vilify, demonize, and blame these people for the situation they’re in, with insane comments implying that they chose to be homeless, chose to be in the situations they’re in, refused help and opportunities to change, and literally celebrate when bad things finally happen to them in the comment boards here, for months.  It’s weird that you only now suddenly empathize with them when it’s someone obviously conservative instead, and simultaneously screech at others for supposedly “politicizing” things.  If you’re so offended by people’s response and lack of empathy to this situation, perhaps you should consider how ugly your responses and lack of empathy historically are as well, and maybe set some better examples in the future.

Kt there’s no requirement to have a license to own a shotgun in Washington.  So the answer to your question is both yes and no.  No, she didn’t have a license for the gun but yes, she had all the appropriate licenses.

I hear what you are saying Bbron but expressing sympathy for one person’s crisis doesn’t imply a lack of concern for others.  The deceased was at one point a respected member of the community.  It makes sense there would be people close to them sharing their experiences.  It’s unreasonable to expect people to respond to every issue in order to be taken seriously.

The woman who died was indeed Tamara Towers Parry, cause of death “multiple gunshot wounds.”
