BOYNTON BEACH — Carol Anne Burger killed her former lover by stabbing her 222 times with a Phillips-head screwdriver and then took pains to hide her crime, police said Wednesday.
Jessica Kalish, who shared a house with Burger despite breaking up with her more than a year ago, was found last Thursday stuffed in the backseat of her gun-metal BMW sedan, abandoned behind a medical office at 2300 S. Congress Avenue. Her blood was splashed around the rear end and undercarriage of the car, as if her killer had tried to load her into the trunk. The driver-side window was shattered. read more at link
From the comments on HuffPo:
The Huffington Post's OffTheBus is deeply saddened to report that one of our writers, Carol Anne Burger, died on Friday, October 24.
The circumstances of her death remain unclear; police believe she may have taken her own life after learning that her roommate - and former partner - had been found dead.
Carol Anne, an award-winning photojournalist and former editor, was an OffTheBus Election Correspondent. She used her background in journalism to bring us ground reports from her home state of Florida - and was very excited to be writing about the presidential election and filed multiple stories a week. She covered a wide range of stories including early voting in Florida, a summit on green jobs with Barack Obama and swing-state governors and a Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation event. Her high energy and curiosity kept OffTheBus editors on our toes. Vermonter Christian Avard - who worked with Carol Anne on her final dispatch - wrote that she was "always fun to work with, cheerful, and always very supportive. We are all very lucky to have Carol Anne be a part of the Off the Bus family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of Carol Anne Burger and Jessica Kalish."
This coming week, Carol Anne had planned on using her background in financial reporting to cover how the economic crisis is affecting food bank donations and the poor in Florida.
Carol Anne will be deeply missed. Please use the comment section below if you wish to offer her family and friends your condolences.
There are some pretty angry Lefties out there. This seems to be a big reason why so many Lefties are so much in favor of gun control: they are uncomfortable at the idea of someone else being as rage-filled as they are, and also being armed.
I'm drinking coffee as I type this and I was mightily confused as well. It also seemed that there was an implication that someone had killed themselves by stabbing themselves 222 times with a screwdriver. I basically just gave up trying to read the post, because as we all know, liberalism is a mental disorder, and disordered thinking is its first sign.
Guns are considered so yesterday by the screwdriver wielding lesbian set.
Obama’s “National Security Force” is a very real plan. My friends (those NOT on the Left, I have no “friends” on the Left, can’t trust those people) and I are a mixed bag of middle class folks, some of us are PIs and still involved in LE affairs so we try and glean info from reliable sources, in short, snoop and poop with impunity when possible.
We know that the Black Panthers, Black Muslims and other associated radical groups (no telling how many more) are certainly a possibility to be used as core groups in forming this “security force” and we also know that once things start forming, they take on a momentum of their own as many folks in failed socialist/communist governments will attest to, those that survived that is.
So many think that oh surely, it can’t happen here, why hell, it IS HAPPENING HERE! Before our very eyes. Have folks not seen the spaced out looks of the Obamabots?? Useful idiots all.
Remember too that history has more than aptly demonstrated that there are always sufficient minions available to carry out even the most horrific of plans and ideas. BTCM, your fellow workers, apologists for Obama, are WRONG. “Barry” intends on doing this very thing and will unless there are enough true Americans to roadblock him.
Nothing has really been hidden about this guy’s agenda, it’s always been there, he just denies these things at times to confuse the stupid and ill-informed, the “security at all costs” crowd, they always grasp at straws...
FA Hayek speaks to this in "Road to Serfdom". Not only are these people readily available, they are NECESSARY in any collectivist regime. There is no way to implement collectivism without arbitrary and ruthless "enforcers".
Wow. Seems all her friends knew she had psychiatric problems and were just blowing it off. Some friends.
Two very wealthy people break off a relationship and stay in the home because of finances? Please. That was your first clue that these folks weren’t mentally stable and something bad was going to happen.
I love the “If it could happen to Carol, what hope is there for the rest of us?” money quote. Right. Nobody saw this coming.
And penetrate.
I’m picturing “The Safety Screwdriver” and the warning label “Please do not remove the safety shield from this screwdriver”.
This is what happens when you force an unnatural belief on yourself through sheer will; such as the blind faith in believing that a foreign-born Arab Muslim Communist will win the Presidency of the United States.
“This radical intellectualism that has developed over the last several centuries has lead to an irrational blood lust that cannot be quelled easily once it is inflicted on a society. Western Society has ignored it and now its festering within our schools, churches, cultural activities, politics, the legal system, medical, family, news, etc. I believe we have crossed the line based on my understanding of history.”
I think you have it right. Over the last 20 years I have been watching the rise in fanaticism and hatred among the left for anyone who opposes them and now even for anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Most people have ignored or haven’t noticed this. People think I am exaggerating when I say that the leftists hate conservatives so much that they would force us into gas chambers if they could get away with it. Wait till they become the majority, have the power and can find judicial justification, and you will see a purge in the US like they had in China and the USSR.

LOL!
Thanks for that FRiend.
Yes - I will give up trying too.
Sometimes that is the only thing we can do.
Disturbing.
You seem to know a lot about these women and their homicidal habits.
It was my job.
Being in my early 30’s I can see a great difference between the 80’s and now (probably small compared to the last 2 centuries). I look back and I can see that the accelerated changes occurred in the 90’s, and the hate/fanaticism developing by merging with the 60’s rabble and extremists and then exploding during this decade. Most people have ignored it because they either don’t want to believe that someone can be like this(i.e. they are optimistic or positive that it will be ok at the end of the day which is a fatal mistake for a society as this puts off responsibility), and to be frank with you they are not well educated in historical terms or understanding of real human nature.
I don’t doubt they will try to go after use. They may even succeed in parts of the country with purges at some point. But I don’t see them succeeding here. It would be very bloody in my opinion non the less. However, if we do see something like that happen here, our enemies around the world (Russia and China in particular) will use the chaos to eventually take us out completely(i.e. full systematic wiping out of all people here). They are just like if not worse(and I lean toward worse) than the radicals here at home and this bunch doesn’t share power very well. They hate competition.
It's not automatically a hate crime just because the victim falls into a certain category. The hate crime classification (actually, hate crimes aren't a separate crime, they just typically add to the sentence for some other crime) only comes into play if you kill someone becuase they're white, or gay or whatever.
This was a pretty typical murder by someone who was dumped by a lover. Even if the murderer had not killed herself, she would probably just be charged with regular murder, without a bias crime classification.
