I wonder if she is in this country legally?
Godless in America...
No, no, no, do not let them learn about God, just let them kill each other.
BTTT
But I only want to ban assault hands and wood!

"...Adrianne was strangled and beaten with a wooden handle in a car in broad daylight at a Taco Bell parking lot..."
WTF?

Adrianne 'cared about everything'
By Whitney Carnahan, wcarnahan@qconline.com
Adrianne Reynolds ``cared about everything around her,'' a friend said Wednesday.
Stephen Fonseca attended Black Hawk College Outreach Center in East Moline with the slain 16-year-old and worked with her at Checkers in East Moline.
``I talked to her just about every day. She (was) so nice,'' he said.
When her dad called him to say Ms. Reynolds was missing, he was surprised. When he got the news Wednesday that she was dead, it was a shock, Mr. Fonseca said.
Parts of Ms. Reynolds' body were found about midnight Tuesday at Black Hawk State Historic Site in Rock Island, and other parts may have been found in Millersburg in Mercer County.
Police believe Ms. Reynolds was killed in Moline but did not say where. She had been missing since Friday.
A classmate at the Outreach Center, Sarah A. Kolb, 16, Milan, was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in connection with Ms. Reynolds' death.
Ms. Reynolds had moved to East Moline from Longview, Texas, in November to live with her father and stepmother. Mr. Fonseca said she was starting to settle into her new home but worried about making friends here.
``From what I understand, when we talked, she was always worried about people out here, about meeting new people,'' he said.
Mr. Fonseca said he isn't a fan of some of the people Ms. Reynolds had met here. ``I know a lot of the people that she knew. I didn't like a lot of 'em,'' he said, describing the group as Goth or ``ICP kids.''
He added that he didn't know Ms. Kolb well. ``She was one of those kinds of people.''
Goth is a practice that includes wearing all black clothing, contrasting light and dark makeup, unusual hair styles and body piercings; a fascination with medieval history; wearing various religious symbols like crosses or the Egyptian ankh. Goths tend to be non-violent, write about depression, angst, hatred and despair, and have a fascination with death, according to www.religioustolerance.org/goth.htm.
ICP, short for Insane Clown Posse, is a cartoonish rap/metal group that formed in Detroit in 1989. In 1997, Hollywood Records pulled the group's album, ``The Great Milenko,'' citing gruesome content and obscene lyrics, according to VH1.com. The band has been compared to Rob Zombie or Korn.
Mr. Fonseca said people need to remember Ms. Reynolds and appreciate life. ``Don't take life for granted, no matter what. Death doesn't care who you are. It doesn't care how nice you are.''
The sentiment was echoed by Ms. Reynolds' other co-workers at Checkers, where she was remembered as an outgoing girl who didn't appear to fit in with a Goth group, district manager Brian Kiel said. She'd worked at the fast-food restaurant, at 565 Avenue of the Cities, since Nov. 23. She was supposed to work at the restaurant the night she disappeared.
Ms. Reynolds often was early for work and willing to stay late, Mr. Kiel said. She came in to work upset a few times, but wouldn't say why, he said.
``I don't know what she could've done to deserve this,'' he said.
Black Hawk College Outreach Center provides GED and high school diploma completion programs for about 80 students ages 14 to 18. Classes run from about 9 a.m. to 2 or 2:30 p.m. each day, and the students can go off-campus for lunch, said John Biermann, director of public relations for Black Hawk College.
The Outreach Center brought in five counselors Wednesday to help students, faculty and staff members, who were told about Ms. Reynolds' death that morning. ``Some of them are visibly upset,'' Mr. Biermann said. ``It's been really hard for them. It's been tiring for everybody.''
Ms. Kolb has no previous criminal record, said Jeff Terronez, Rock Island County state's attorney.
She has worked at National Amusements' Showcase 53 theater in Davenport since Nov. 8, said Garry La Roche, district manager for National Amusements.
``As an employee, she gave us no problem whatsoever,'' he said. ``Obviously, this has caught us all by surprise.''
Kathy Carmack, who said she's been friends with Ms. Kolb since seventh grade, said Ms. Kolb isn't a violent person.
``She says a lot of things, but she doesn't mean it,'' Ms. Carmack said.

Just. Damn.
It sort of makes you believe in demons, real or metaphoric, to explain such darkness in a young soul.
oh this is lovely, my hometown... ping.
I hate to see my homeschooled kids miss out on socialization.
i've just registered to free republic to post about this... i've not been very close friends with sarah, but i have known her and talked with her now and then. the aligations everyone have made against her are not only hypocritical of any point you're trying to say about "humanity" but also completely irresponsible and ridiculous. she was not a typical "goth" or a "satan worshiper" and from what i make of it these stereotypes have been established simply because she's alledgedly killed someone, has pale skin, and had multiple body piercings. that's in fact it, if it's so hard to understand from the red country we live in. a regular girl who has piercings. wow. from what i know, she was and is a god-free person, but that also means she didn't worship some "devil." for cory, i do not know him at all, but if in fact she is guilty of this crime (please people, it's not "guilty until proven innocent; unless you can be classified by people by the way you look") i would believe it was only a situation gone terribly wrong. please don't mistake me in condoning the actions resulting in the death of adrianne, but i strongly doubt people would be taking the same stances they are if the alledged killer was a posh, popular blonde girl. they would simply say "why did this happen? poor girl had so much going for her!" instead of "this girl is EVIL! i bet she doesn't even have any remorse!" sarah was in fact a very emotional person, here's something she actually stated not too long ago on her deviantart account about an argument:
"Well thanks but i don't really remember asking for your opinion. As for the debate on love .... i agree with you .. at the time when i made that deviation, i was going through a hard time in my life where i didn't know who i was, what i wanted, or who i should care about. my heart was shattered to pieces ... someone told me they loved me ... to me, the way i felt about them ... i would do anything in my power just to see her smile ... her smile was my sun. she betrayed me, she used me for her own self esteem because she needed a boost, no one cared for her the way i did, and she knows it, thats why she used me because i was the only person who saw her for what she really is ... beauty itself.
i'm sorry we have our differences, and i'm sorry that you dislike me. i understand that you don't want to end up like me, but think of it this way ... this is not the way i have ended up, i have only begon my journal on finding out who i really am, and i am changing, becoming more mature, and as far me and my friends ... you have to realize that we're just young and immature, i have years ahead of me to gain my maturity, and i'll admit, i'm not even half way there ... but for being the person that i am, i can say that i'm a lot more mature than i was the year before. i'm only a sophmore in high school. i two years time ... and sure our opinions won't differ much.
Have a good day .. i'll be visiting your gallery sometime soon, and if i do leave any comments ... don't take my opinions the wrong way please, i don't normaly have anything disrespectful to someone unless they've given me the reason. whatever problem you have with me ... i'm sure i started it, but to be honest with you, i don't even recognize your handle, i don't think we've ever spoken, and if i did say anything that offended you ... i'm sorry.
good day."
she then and still looks foward to life just as anybody else would. how shocking is that? (sarcasm.) if she is guilty, reguardless of the courts decision, i will be dissappointed... but as the public, it's you're duty not to codemn someone who is not yet found guilty by a court based on their looks, music they listen to, or anything else.
i think this is all.
I could have gone all day without knowing about this.
