I’ve got kin in Simpson county. Don’t know if either of these is my kin though.

Those rapids are popular in the summer.

Rep. Jessica Upshaw’s death comes weeks after black openly gay Clarksdale mayoral candidate Marco McMillian was found murdered. Lawrence Reed was arrested in the homicide.

While they will forget about the black teenager that shot the WHITE baby in head in it’s stroller....

Fixed it. No one is going to touch the black on white infanticide attack by the black teenager/monster because Malik Shabazz is on record as exhorting black youth to target Caucasian infants. We need to bring back cruel and unusual punishment. I suggest live drawing and quartering then holding the decapitation for last then boiling the parts in oil. Call me a racist but I don't need any "investigation" to know why the black teen offed the white infant. Watch, the DA's office will scour the local university to dredge up an economics professor who will attest that the shooting of the white infant was no doubt the result of years of economic oppression experienced by the perp, so it is most certainly NOT a HATE CRIME.

She was single and her body was found in his home. You tell me.

It might be a little difficult for him to explain this. A dead body is not something you want in your house very often.

Could I have done something different?

Maybe. The answer is always maybe.

In the long run, reality says no, nothing you or any other human agency can do will prevent that end for anyone determined to escape their personal Hell.

I’m no expert, but I believe it is rare for women to commit suicide by shooting themselves in the head.

I think you are right.

Thanks. From your link:

“No one answered phone calls to Rotenberry’s home on Mangum Ave., nor to a number on Tom Weathersby Road listed to his wife, Christy Rotenberry.”

Evidently Rotenberry and his wife did not live at the same address.
