Everyone should ask themselves this question: In your lifetime, how many people that you had a personal relationship with, have been murdered or committed suicide?
Soooooo true.
If you count second-degree, two. The brother of my brother’s friend committed suicide. A co-worker of my mother was murdered. No first degree murders or suicides, and I’m a 62-yr-old contractor who has worked for over 75 different companies over the years. No colleagues murdered or suicided. Anyone else?
I went to a high school with a class size avg of 75. ~500 total 7-12 grades. In my 4 years in HS there was one successful and one attempted suicide. One electrocution farm accident. One death by railroad/car accident. One student who shot his abusive step-father to protect his mother. Those are the ones I know of off the top of my head. My point is that circumstances are different for everyone.
Oh and with my girls in HS there was at least one suicide and one car accident death but they are at a much larger school and I would have expected it statistically.
That being said statistically I think the Clinton’s are suspect.
That is exactly the position I take with the Clinton death list doubters. How many people working at coffee stores that have been shot in the face do you know?
Unfortunately, and to my shock, I have been acquaintanced with 3 people who were murdered. The first was our (legal) gardener. His wife and her lover murdered him after he filed for divorce. The second was a woman who had run a birthday party for my son, at a martial arts studio. Another guy from the studio was jealous of an award she won and she was found dead on the street a few months after the birthday party. He was found not guilty, but he had a high powered attorney whose name had been in the news for other high profile cases. The third was a young man who I had ‘team mom’d’ on a baseball team. He was at a party where there were drugs being shared, got into an argument and left the party only to be run over by the guy with wohm he had argued. That kids IS in jail, but there were lots of witnesses. Now, I must explain, all of these happened in SoCal, where life is cheap. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think I would even know anyone who was murdered. And we no longer live in SoCal.
