The timing is suspicious. Tho I’m not a MAGA.

They don’t have capital punishment where the catfisher guy lives, and I’m generally not in favor of it. But in this case, I wish it were an option. I work with children around this age at my school every single day, and I’m so upset right now, I can’t see straight.

From DailyMail court coverage:

Cimarron was told if she did not comply her photos would be sent to her father. In gut wrenching detail the prosecutor described how Cimarron pleaded with McCartney to stop. Even when she was visibly distressed and crying, he told her to ‘dry her eyes’ and involve her younger sister aged nine in a sex act.

Cimarron refused and said she would rather kill herself with McCartney cruelly launching a countdown and telling her: ‘goodbye and good luck’.

The court heard Cimarron’s sister later heard a popping sound that she thought was a balloon bursting.

This is a UK article, but the little girl, Cimarron, and her father, Ben Thomas, who both tragically took their own lives, were Americans and lived in a small town in West Virginia. Little Cimarron killed herself out of shame. 18 months later, the father killed himself because he couldn’t get over her loss.

This is a horrible story, so read with caution. I wish I hadn’t read it, but people need to know stuff like this happens so that they can better protect their own kids.

I don’t think it had anything to do with Odinism, BUT the bodies were arranged in a weird way. And the cops have been keeping a lot of evidence pretty quiet. So we’ll see.

I’ve been following the story for a while now. She hung two of her kids up with a dog leash. Then blamed on one of the victims, saying he committed suicide and took his sister with him.

She doesn’t really seem very remorseful, but at least she’s going to prison for life.

Exactly this. I have pretty much the same exact story from that same time frame! Now my house is paid off, so I’m glad they didn’t tempt me.

Yeah, it sucks, but honestly, this has been happening for a long time now. Way before current president, last one, one before that, and one before that. lol

People have always bought stuff they can barely afford.

When I bought my house, I waited until I could get something that wouldn’t take up more than 30% of my after-tax income. I found a small fixer-upper in a nice neighborhood, and everyone thought I was crazy for not getting something bigger.

Now my house is paid off, and they’re still stressing over their bigger, more expensive homes. Now to be honest, my house still kind of a piece of crap. Some rooms still have 1970’s wood paneling. No granite countertops for me. But fuck that noise, now that it’s paid off, I don’t owe anyone shit.

Times are tough, no doubt, but people make mistakes whether the economy is good or bad.

Yeah, that’s the thing that stands out for me too. 19 freaking times. Over and over. Horrible.
