To those of you who wont repost this, thats kind of sad. I know most of you didnt know her but I have seen you repost the most ridiculous bulletins like "If you dont repost this in .2 seconds you will die tonight and your crush will hate you", "What kind of skittle are you?", "Whats your favorite song to have SEX too?", "put BACARDI if your taken", "Leave me comments lyke now!!1!!111" and so on. But you cant repost one that has meaning, and that isnt threatening you?
To alot of you this is just another sad bulletin or news article, but to the people who knew her she was their daughter, best friend, niece, cousin, crush, grandaughter, sister, prom date. Think of how they feel? and how you would feel if this happened to someone close to you.

VANCOUVER -- The deadly stabbing of a 17-year-old girl who made everyone smile is tearing the Vancouver community apart, said the Vancouver police chief Friday.
Anna Svidersky, a Fort Vancouver High School senior, was stabbed in the chest by a stranger while working at McDonald's Thursday night, said Police Chief Brian Martinek at a news conference.
"It's tearing us apart, quite frankly," he said. "There's no magic wall around Vancouver. We've had two young girls killed in the last six months," referring to the November 2005 murder of 14-year-old Chelsea Harrison.
Svidersky, who would have graduated in June, was taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland where she died around 9 p.m. Thursday. An autopsy was scheduled for Friday morning, Martinek said.
The suspect, David Barton Sullivan, was charged with first-degree murder Friday morning.

Police collect evidence at the crime scene.
"We preliminarily determined he had an intent to kill," Martinek said. "The suspect armed with a knife walked into one of the doors of McDonalds.... found the victim at a table and stabbed the victim. There's not a whole lot of question about what happened and who did it."
Many employees in the McDonalds saw what happened, he said.
The owner of the Vancouver McDonald's, Matt Hadwin, issued a statement saying, "We are shocked and saddened by this random act of violence against one of our employees. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this difficult time. We are fully cooperating with the Vancouver Police as they investigate this incident."
During a court appearance Friday in Clark County Superior Court, Sullivan was shaking and twitching. The judge ordered he be held without bail.
Sullivan, a registered sex offender in Washington state, will be arraigned on the murder charge April 28. He also has a criminal history that includes kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment, according to court records.

In addition, Sullivan, who lived at home, has a history of mental illness, said Police Chief Martinek.
Sullivan had pleaded guilty to unlawful imprisonment with sexual motivation in 2003 for trying to kidnap a 14-year-old girl in Vancouver. He was sent to Western State Hospital, treated for paranoid schizophrenia and found competent to stand trial. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail.
"This is obviously very tragic for everyone involved," he said. The Vancouver Police Department "wants to pass on its condolences to famiy, school and community."
Nancy Faaren, principal at Fort Vancouver High School said Svidersky's death "is a very sad day for Fort Vancouver High School. Svidersky was "well-liked by students and staff alike. She will be greatly missed by students and staff."
The senior had a good sense of humor and contagious laugh, and juggled several jobs as well as full-class load, she said.
School counselors would be helping students with their grief, Faaren said.

Shortly after the first 9-1-1 call about the stabbing at McDonald's, at 2814 N.E. Andresen St., emergency dispatchers received a report that a man was being pursued on foot and police dogs were quickly sent to the scene. Martinek said several witnesses from McDonald's had followed Sullivan from the restaurant.
Officers said he was soon captured and a knife believed to be the murder weapon was found nearby as well.
Police have not determined a motive in the stabbing. The McDonald's is located in an area about halfway between downtown and Orchards.
The girl's mother found out about the attack when she showed up Thursday night to drive her daughter home from work. A Russian-speaking Vancouver Police officer accompanied Svidersky's family to the hospital Thursday night.
The McDonald's restaurant was closed Thursday night after the stabbing and re-opened at 6:30 a.m. Friday. McNicholas said the staff at the fast-food chain was struggling with the loss, as were police, even though they didn't personally know the slain teen.

i didnt know this girl at all. i just saw this bulliten on myspace. i looked at her profile and i felt the strangest connection to it. i saw the comments that her friends had left her, saw how upset her best friend was. i couldnt help but imagine, what if that happened to me? what if kendal was killed? what would i do? i wouldn't be able to do anything.
i noticed her best friends name was christy.
the day after i saw this bulliten i went into the chat room at brand news website. (http://www.fightoffyourdemons.com) you have to be part of the street team to get in.
anyways, i was just sitting there bored because well, no one ever goes in that chat room.
2 people came in within a few minutes of eachother and started talking. they obviously knew eachother. one called the other one christy.
he said "im sorry for your loss". she said she was going to her funeral tomorrow.
they kept talking and it started becoming clear as to who they were talking about. i was freaking out because i knew everything pointed to this one girl. not once did they say her name.
i asked what happened. christy replied with her friend had gotten stabbed at work.
this blew me away. i asked if her name was anna. it was.
i live in new hampshire and this happened in washington.
out of all of the people in the world who could have been in that chatroom (i've talked to people from australia there before), they were in it at the exact same time i was. after i had had this strange feeling about it. i felt connected to it in some way. this must have happened for a reason, i don't know why. but it was just too amazing.
i'm still in shock.
