A murder on my street

[Immortalfire]

So there's a house available in your hood, 'fire?

But for serious, none of the neighbors had ever seen or heard anything that would've led up to this?

As I understand it, they weren't permanent tenants. The dude's sister owned the house, and was letting them stay there until they got their own place. The sister was living in a neighboring town with her aging mother, so I'm told. So they haven't been around all that long for anyone to notice trouble.

When I was 9, two houses down from me, one of my best friend's mothers was abducted, raped, strangled, painted white, and then dumped in a gravel refinery. The man they thought did it lived there for a decade afterward. Sometimes this stuff hits close to home.

Sorry to hear that.

Painted white? Was she a coloured woman?

How is she since then?

Dead.

 

[Krypton Girl]

Dead.

Makes everything else somewhat insignificant, don't it?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It was a stupid question. "strangled, painted white, and then dumped in a gravel refinery" kind of implies she's dead.

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of the song "Nightmare on My Street" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.


Sorry to hear about what happened, Fire. I live in GA as well. Where did this take place?

 

[The Original Bamfer]

That's truly terrible. Hopefully this brings the community closer, and hopefully the husband gets a fitting punishment.

I think some vigilante justice is being called upon.

I think the cops already nabbed the guy, so I hope you don't intend to break into the police station to enact said justice.

Someone should snipe him out on the court steps.

I have an AK with a high-powered scope.

Now that is something we keep to ourselves or tell the dolls we stab at night with mommy's scissors.

Hey, it's legal...and quite fun at the 100-yard outdoor firing range.

I agree and always remember...we are/were friends

Since my roommate's car was burglarized in our driveway and we've had attempted break-ins at the house, we decided to arm ourselves and get an alarm system. But the day the AK arrived in the mail, I suddenly got the feeling that we had perhaps gone overboard on the firearms.

Then I remembered that zombies might come for me one day and Bruce Campbell would likely be nowhere to be found. So I tossed that "overboard" nonsense.
