Death changes everything

[malakijr]

Can I ask you guys a favor?

Here's the backstory. My friend edtheripper's mom has been sick for awhile. She was put in the hospital and put in a medically induced coma about a week before I left for the conference this weekend. They had to make the difficult decision to take her off oxygen and see what happens. She passed away on the 21st. It's been really

Oh that's awful. I'm so sorry for your friend's loss. I have friend who's grandfather is going to die very soon. It's so sad.

What the news station is doing, however, is completely WRONG. Is there any way to get the ASPCA to comment or issue a statement?

Do you mind if I add your phone number to my phone? I don't know if you text, but if you decided for a reason that you needed to call, I would pick up because I'd know it'd be you.

[malakijr]

No, you can add my number to your phone. I don't mind having people I can call if things go horribly wrong as they're wont to do. Do you need me to send you the number?

Ed's been trying to contact the station all day and no luck. The fucking bastards still have the video up, and it pisses me off to no end. I'm about ready to start making death threats, which is no good, so I need to step away and not go to the site anymore because I can't afford jail time.

you posted it in your post. mines 252 665 3611 in case you need me :)

[malakijr]

Haha, I forgot my number is in there. I hope I get some threatening phone calls or a stalker or something cool out of it.

Chris suggested I call the station but I refrained because I don't care to spend the rest of my vacation in the clink.

I emailed my letter to at least three other people at the station. you'd think SOMEONE would give a shit about journalistic integrity there, but I guess that's too much to ask.

I'm refraining from replying to Katie's "reply" because I'll end up in a cell somewhere.

[edtheripper]

Nope, local stations don't care about the truth. At all.

I wish she could see my journal entries about her,lol. Whore.

[malakijr]

I was just thinking we should link her to our comments in your journal. She'd cry.

[edtheripper]

But she would love the recognition. She's gone viral and it's not the herpes this time!

[malakijr]

She's never gone viral in a way that didn't require a series of antibiotics! Mama would be so proud!

[edtheripper]

Mama schooled her well on the ways of the viruses.

"I might've been born just plain white trash, but Katie was my name!"

[edtheripper]

Katie because it's so cute and bubbly! Meanwhile, she's probably 35 and waaay too old to be a Katie,lol.

[quirkytizzy]

Same here, though I'm sifting it over. I think soon I might be able to write a calm response.

[malakijr]

They have a Facebook too. Some of Ed's friends and I have begun a campaign of harassment there. :-p
