Paranoid?

Nothing is paranoia with Obozo’s children.

Guess we shall see.

From the daily mail

Rotenberry did not answer his phone, and his answering machine was full.

Talk about messy suicides - - I heard of two recently: one guy drilled himself in the heart with a power drill, and another guy sawed off his own head with a table saw.

Her bio says she is from Meridian but represents Diamondhead, MS. I don’t remember ever hearing of Diamondhead, but I guess it is a part of the Biloxi/Gulfport area.

You beat me to it. Was just about to list the link.

At the time it was listed he showed to be married.

Wonder if he still is? If so, did his wife catch them?

I had a friend who did so last week.

No easy to deal with.

You always ask: Could I have done something different?

Simpson County Sheriff Kenneth Lewis said that Upshaw was found at the home of former Mississippi state Rep. Clint Rotenberry. Rotenberry had not been arrested.

It could be that Rotenberry and his wife were out of town and she was staying at their home. If that happened and someone killed her, this is really strange.

Diamondhead is north of I-10 in Hancock County. It’s about a half-hour or so away from Gulfport.

From the posted link.

“It’s not clear why Upshaw was at Rotenberry’s house.”

Someone has some “splaining to do”.

Waiting for the ‘shot with high-power, high capacity assault rifle’ line?

Hopefully the police let the EMTs into this crime scene.
