Take this case for example.

It started in 1996 when Sally Snowden McKay, 75, and her nephew, musician Joseph ‘Lee’ Baker, 52, were found shot dead inside their home.

It was understood they’d disturbed a burglar and the suspect – 16-year-old Travis Lewis – had shot them in fright.

He then, reportedly, set fire to the house. The teenager, who had been living with his parents nearby, was quickly arrested and charged with the double murder. Despite saying someone else had been involved, on April 7, 1998, Lewis pleaded guilty to the crime. Tried as an adult, he was handed a 28-and-a-half year jail sentence of which he had to serve at least 70 per cent.

Sally’s big-hearted daughter, Martha McKay, believed he deserved to be rehabilitated. A practising Buddhist, she forgave Lewis for what he’d done and began writing to him in prison.

When Lewis was eventually freed in 2018, after serving 22 years, Martha quietly gave him a job. By this time, she had moved to Snowden House (the house her mother was killed in), having bought it from the rest of the family. She had renovated and restored the run-down property, with all its ghosts and dark past, into a high-end bed-and-breakfast and wedding venue. It meant that Lewis, 39, was literally back at the scene of his crime with Martha, locally known as the Lady of the Lake, demonstrating the ultimate forgiveness.

But on Wednesday, March 25 of this year, police responded to an alarm at Snowden House. History was repeating itself as they quickly discovered a body.

Martha, 63, was found at the top of the marble stairs wrapped in a blanket. She’d been stabbed. The suspect, Travis Lewis, fled the scene and was observed by the police jumping into the lake and swimming under water but he never came back up. Forensic specialist later recovered his body.

I have several good ones at the ready in event my death makes it to a documentary. The worse thing I can think of is a docu series with only one pic to cut to.

Quick tip: make sure the pixel sizes are around 1000. Don’t want appear blurred like this dumb broad who’s husband killed her.

Four people have been arrested in connection with the rape and death of a Louisiana State University student - who was struck and killed by a ride-share car.

Madison 'Madi' Brooks, 19, died in hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on January 15.

On Monday night, East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office announced that Kaivon Washington, 18, has been charged with third-degree rape - alongside a 17-year-old.

Casen Carver, 18, and Everett Lee, 28, were also arrested and charged as accomplices to third-degree rape following Brooks' death.

Arrest documents also indicate that Brooks had a blood alcohol level of.319 percent at the time of her death - meaning she was highly intoxicated at nearly four times the legal limit.

Washington, one of those charged with Brooks' alleged rape, stated he had a consensual sexual encounter with her after the group left Reggie's Bar in Tigerland in Baton Rouge following a night of drinking.

Washington said that he and another teen had intercourse with Brooks in the back seat of a car while Carver and Lee were in the front seats.

Carver has admitted that he and his three friends drank at the bar before leaving with Brooks, who was 'very unstable on her feet, was not able to keep her balance, and was unable to speak clearly without slurring her words.

Carver allegedly told investigators his 17-year-old friend and Brooks were 'hugging and walking together.'

Investigators say Carver told them Brooks asked for a ride home with them.

The men claim Brooks then asked to be taken home but say she gave them a number of different addresses before she got out of the car.

Carver says they later dropped off Brooks in a neighborhood near Burbank Drive.

She was killed shortly afterward, when she walked into the middle of the road and was hit by a ride-share vehicle at around 3am.

NYC is terrible to find a bathroom. The city could issue free cards for homeless people to go to public facilities, so they can track who uses what and provide jobs for immigrants. Doesn't mean they will use them, but if they don't, they get in trouble. Real estate is expensive, but that's cheaper than losing the whole city.

If people are incompetent to use the bathroom, then they are locked up in facilities, preferably in some far off place where they can get closer to nature, until they get better.

There's no perfect answer... but stepping on humans in the Chase ATM room isn't gonna work... nor is shutting down the ATM's. we have a human problem...

I've seen women post it on tiktok etc, but I'm unsure if those are just rare cases or if it's actually a more widely held belief. I'm sure it's rare and can't be true, because I find it hard to believe that many women could have that opinion when they're living in a world that was built by men, and is maintained by men.

Don’t think they found him yet. But I’ll wager a crazy guy with an AR15.

There’s quite a lot of evidence that shows we don’t have a humane method. Lethal injection causes immense gasping and subjects “turning purple”. Some inmates have said their insides are burning before they died.

Then there are death row inmates choosing the electric chair, for godsakes. That’s certainly not painless.

Dostoevsky wrote that “the degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”

There's power in making people afraid and angry. And news networks make money off covering NOTHING.

I am liberal and I hate what trump is doing so much, that I would consider having sex with him once, if it meant he became a good Democrat.

Like bro get a life. Running around shooting giraffes and hippos and wolves
