Unnecessary shaming: Identifying shooting victim as a registrant

A tragic murder-suicide took place in Cape Coral, Florida this week.

A mother shot her dog, her son and then herself. Neither her nor her son survived. The news media couldn’t help but identify the victim as a sex offender, even though that was completely irrelevant to the tragedy.

    I hate politics and quit watching news for a few years but this is a republican state and they like to make stupid laws and lock people up especially the poor because they feel superior to them, us, blacks, gays ect ect. That’s why we can’t vote 70k SOs could swing the election why else couldn’t we vote? They try to point out we are second class citizens. Anymore after being arrested for harmless non probation tech I really don’t know who I am anymore or who I could be. This shit really has taken a tole on my life. I’m tired f living in the shadows navigating my life to be undetected just to have some type of a life. Tired of holding on to my family and friends. Tired of it all will try another state then country and maybe give up along the way I had so much ambition at one time but just don’t anymore. This site brings we down as much as the news think I’ll take a break good luck everyone.

    Stacey Henson and Michael Braun are both going to enjoy some nice karma coming their way soon. It will happen when they least expect it!

    I’m glad the dog survived. The mom…nope. The son… RIP. WTF is wrong with people? IDK, maybe the mom suffered from the effects of the registry, maybe she whatever, IDK. The dog however… even though he/she may have suffered side effects is just a loving caring asset. I have a dog who protects me and loves me unconditionally. If ever she suffers from my mistake 23 years ago, I hope the asses burn, not only in hell, but literally.
