Chateaubriand of venison and a nice bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau, if you please. You do know how to make Bearnaise, right?

I’m so sorry for your three losses. Gd bless. I somewhat understand, lost 2 myself early on.

Children are children and we must love and protect them and help them be able to function when they are grown. And most parents are doing their best. They don’t always know what is right but most are trying.

Rack of venison and it’s going to be a red wine reduction sauce, boy. Gots to keep it kosher. But it will be good and you might want a deeper red than Beaujolais, though if you want Coca Cola I’ll get it...

I can live with that, but I don’t drink sody pop so Coca Cola won’t be necessary.

The mom is on Facebook relaying direct messages from her dead son and started a fundraising page.

Do you have a link to that?

I went through her Facebook page rather extensively, going back long before the death. Her name on Facebook is Leia Rochelle by the way.

If you never saw her pic you’d be convinced she was ghetto black. Lots of “nigga”, “ho” and F bombs. Not much overtly political but definitely left leaning. Nothing about Trump. A LOT of persecution complex, a constant theme. Y’all don’t understand me then F off, etc etc. Some shallow threats of violence/retaliation towards haters. Mentions on July 28th of this year she “can’t take it anymore” but nothing specific. Hmmm..

Never mentioned kid being gay or bullying until after his death then it’s non stop with claims he is talking to her from beyond and sending messages of love to all of us. She also forcefully shot down questions as to how the kid died saying that wasn’t important. Telling. Started a go fund me page which only a couple hundred raised so far. Her mom seems quite involved in this aspect and is organizing a candlelight vigil.

I’m convinced this is a hoax and the bullying is either made up or exaggerated. I also think she is playing this up for attention and likely to cover up the real reasons he died. Possible she committed cold blooded murder but it’s also possible the kid offed himself for other reasons or there was an accident or abuse gone too far and maybe even other family involved.

She definitely is unstable, angry, mad at the world and self absorbed all this prior to the death.

Oh she also said after his death the son told a teacher about the bullying but the teacher shot him down and called him a tattletale. She didn’t say how she knew that since she said she supposedly wasn’t aware of the bullying.

She posted this on her About page as her favorite self-quote:

“Don’t drink after me I sucked dick and forgot to brush my teeth..-me”

Sorry for the crudity that is word for word

That’s ok; you don’t want to be bloated for the rest of the evening’s entertainment. ;)

I hope the police investigate this carefully. Maybe she is just a grieving mother, and maybe she is something else.

Not one word about G-d. So sad. He should have already have known that to murder someone, especially to commit suicide is against G-d's law.

The Mother's only response to her son should have been that he is way too young to be thinking about that. And then to tell him, as he matures he will be better able to understand his feelings about interpersonal relationships.

All the liberal talk trapped the poor boy into his hopeless situation.

The police are reportedly investigating as a suicide due to coroner report. The school is also investigating the bullying claims.

I think her story will soon be shot full of holes.

That is probably part of it. The Gullibles just sunk in the agenda verbiage and spew it back out. It’s tricky because you do have to have your kids accepting of other people’s differences. I’d like to hope it couldn’t happen in my house.

how do you know you’re queer before you reach puberty? That doesn’t make sense, but then being queer doesn’t make sense to me. either.

I’m sympathetic to your point of view. All around, this story remains a tragic one.

That being said, the story we’re reading has holes in it like swiss cheese. Does a nine-year-old really know how to commit suicide? Does a nine-year-old really have sexual preferences? And where is the father in all of this?

One last thing. The CBS News story has as its basis a story from Denver’s Fox affiliate. There’s mention of the Denver Post version of the story, but this sort of sourcing causes me to raise eyebrows, or see warning lights.

Overall, I think much of this story has yet to come out (forgive me a terrible pun).

Neither did I. When I heard what it meant , I sure decided it wasn’t me, and it would never describe me.
