Ever notice how the news media “normally does not report on suicide cases unless there is a significant Public Issue” but the minute there’s a pretty young blonde girl who kills herself, especially if they can dig up photos of her cleavage, all the news outlets scramble to put her on the front page?
If you’re curious, just go to google news and type in suicide.
It’s so disgustingly hypocritical and shamelessly exploitive that it makes me want to jump off a flagpole. But I’m neither a girl nor blonde nor sporting cleavage so they’d just hose me off the pavement and carry on.

When a cute little white girl goes missing, The news media stops to report on it 24/7, and cops actually try to find her. If you’re not a cute little white girl and you go missing, well tough shit. That’s America for you.
Exactly, it’s so damn disgusting.
Wouldn’t it be funny if someone did a study on how many missing persons cases were solved and what percentage of them were cute little white girls.
Also if the story ends with a SA’d corpse the media milks it for another cycle or two. If she’s found safe and unharmed the show’s over.
I’m sure all the info on that is suppressed.
There was a case where this black man was known by the police to be raping and killing black women. This went on for over a decade, But the cops never did a single thing. To them, he was “cleaning up the streets” ( no his victims were not prostitutes, just poor and black). But the second he raped and killed a white woman, that is when they finally arrested him.
That’s reality for ya.
You didn’t mention she was blonde, what a surprise! HA! On a college campus, for a football game, young adult, everybody would have wanted to have sex with her and now she’s dead, oh what a tragedy……
I’m getting to be less of a nice person by the day, the milk of human kindness has gone off in me. The thing is that I’m sure thousands of people exactly her age with different hair colors kill themselves, but it’s not on a college campus, and they aren’t as hot.
This post is going to age like hot milk too, to be fair, give it a week or two and everybody will forget her name. Everyone apart from her family, and the families of suicide survivors aren’t given much in this country.
Meanwhile, if you die to an interesting killer, that lasts and lasts. I just think it’s an interesting commentary on how the human brain works. The death of Kristil Krug is one of the most lasting deaths in my memory, and she died because her husband was a deeply sick man. True Crime always gives the most interesting deaths, and the most interesting killers, well apart from fiction.
But hey, you only get one chance to be young and leave behind a pretty corpse. You’re living in the state capitol, you can make a statement with your death, who could resist? This young lady didn’t want to do the standard thing in the state capitol and marry a football player, wait until she’s old and used up to realize her life didn’t mean anything.
Like I said, the milk of human kindness has gone off. Texas isn’t a place I’d want to be. She found a way out, sometimes the only exit is death. Maybe if we offered OTHER exits to people they wouldn’t take the death exits? Just a THOUGHT. I’ve been trying to find the exit for Oklahoma for 20 years now, and death sure is the easiest and most accessible one, state sponsored too in more cases than they would like to admit.
I mean I read a news story and it was pretty much down to local authority incompetence that this whole thing happened. There was probably at least a CHANCE that mental health being made available to the young lady might have stopped this one, but no, that’s not the Texas way. Death’s door right this way young lady, no need to find any hope. We’ll publicize our incompetence nation wide.
Texas and Oklahoma are similar that way. *spit* Easier to dig a grave than to help people, and that won’t be changing any time soon. Damn this part of the country, not a place to be a human being.
