A 33-year-old Seattle woman killed her father with an ice ax after the pair got into an argument over keeping the lights off on Election Day, prosecutors alleged last week.

Corey Burke, who “appeared to be having a mental health crisis,” is accused of murdering Timothy Burke, 67, inside their Seattle home around 8 p.m. last Tuesday...

“Corey stated … when her father started arguing with her, about the lights being shut off, that she ‘just freaked out,’” according to the documents.

“The defendant told Detectives that she knew that she could not convince him to keep the lights off, so she went upstairs retrieved an ice axe and tripped her father, strangled him with the axe and her hands and then bit him and hit him several times in the head and side with the blunt and sharp ends of the ice axe,” according to a case summary by the prosecutor’s office.

Yet fitting.

Not too weird I also read earlier today about Leon Trotsky being killed with an ice ax. Very interesting!

In this day and age Lizzy Borden can be forgotten.

Glad I live in Texas.

“Until they show “her” picture, I’d suspect “she” is a he.”

I think that will turn out to be correct.

The context of your comment, I believe, was a story about a man dispatching his [now ex, certainly] girlfriend’s father with an ice ax.

That story, and now this new one, indicate that we have an ongoing problem. It is, therefore, obligatory that we implement common sense ice ax control now, before Orange Man and his fascist legislature take power and normalize this horror.

what are next weeks lottery numbers!??

Soon you will begin seeing pop-up ads for ice axes.

[Apparatchik]

The Lefties are spreading mental illness by hyping the election of Trump into the second coming of Adolf Hitler. It’s like a mass hysteria. More tragedies like this are sure to follow.

She had been seduced by the dark side of the force.

No mention of a post election freak out but it is implied. Maybe she wanted the lights to mourn Kamala’s defeat. Maybe dad represented Trump. Maybe its Seattle’s coffee.

I read this story long before it came on FR.

[TigerClaws]

Putting out that idea into the universe perhaps?

I was going to post this story because the headline originally for local TV there said it was over the election. But when you went to the site they changed it to remove any election connection - knowing it was a crazed leftists and Dems would take the ‘blame.’

Obviously, mentally disturbed leftist (like the one who murdered his family then suicided) and we are just getting started.

If the Dem mob breaks into the Capitol, they won’t be staying within the ropes and taking selfies for a lark. They’ll be in D.C. to destroy.

And I expect that Oxygen and/or ID will be covering this as well.

A 33 year old living with the parents is a big red flag.

Precognition. If numbers start popping into you head, write them down- could be winning lotto numbers….

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Just guessing, but it sounds like yet another liberal lunatic virtue-signal. Something like: “Look, we are suffering in the dark after the election of Trump, just like the national darkness that is coming under him.”

Or the person is just plain nuts.

So sad for the man and his family.

Maybe she sympathizes with Canada…or is Canadian…

Canada turns off all lights in hopes US will think we’re not home

OTTAWA – With Americans voting today to determine the next President of the United States, every single Canadian has announced plans to keep their lights shut off in hopes that they will not get drawn into any mess that inevitably ensues.

With polls showing an incredibly tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Canadians are hoping to stay unnoticed above the 49th parallel.

“We Canadians normally keep to ourselves on this continent,” explained Mary Kilmartin, of Burnaby. “But whenever one of their American election nights rolls around, we prefer to just draw the curtains, park the car in the garage, and hope that they keep any armed insurrections on their side of the border.”

From British Columbia to Newfoundland all Canadian porch lights, street lamps, and LED billboards have been shut off, in hopes that any rioting American voters assume that all 40.1 million Canadians “are away on vacation or something”.

Harvinder Sharma of Mirimachi adds, “When I go outside to clean up tomorrow morning I hope it was one of those ‘eggs and toilet paper’ kind of US election nights, as opposed to a ‘mobilize the national guard’ kind. You never know with neighbours like this.”

While the bitterly contested election is decided, a majority of Canadians have indicated plans to “stay inside and watch Love Island with the sound down low”, whereas others intend to “head out entirely and go get dinner someplace, like France.”

Brian MacMurray, who lives on the border at Windsor, ON, reported upon peeking through his venetian blinds: “Aw hell, I see a bunch of Americans roaming around the streets all dressed up in camouflage and flag costumes. I can’t tell if they’re looking to start trouble, or if that’s just how they normally dress.”

Should tonight’s election devolve into a full-blown civil war, Prime Minister Trudeau has announced further plans for Canadians to put a bowl of fun-sized Snickers out on the porch in hopes that Americans will just take them and go away.
