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

I am also sending this directly to the station staff.

Awesome letter. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Apparently, one of Ed's relatives DID give them permission to film inside the apartment, but Ed didn't give this permission himself (and neither did the grandmother, the mother of the woman who died and also the other owner of the apartment who lived there as well) and to me, that's shady. Even with family permission,it's deplorable that they didn't even bother to mention the woman's death. Seriously, how hard is it to get that information? A simple "hey, why are you here to get the cats?" would have gotten them this information. Lazy, sensationalized trash with no hint of journalistic integrity. Itmakes me sick.

GREAT letter.

I just want to post and let all of you know how grateful I am that you'd do this for me. It means a lot to me that you guys would take the time and effort to back me up. My wife thinks I should call the station directly and chew them out but I'll wind up being arrested for making terrorist threats if I do that so I figure this is the way to go.

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.

[quirkytizzy]

I left a comment in the story. I'd copied bits of Ed's testimony from here (hope that was okay).

[edtheripper]

Not a problem at all :)
