Why would you publish a suicide? This girls family should get more respect than that from you.
I guess the Lazer shouldn’t have published the obituary either huh? Get a life!
I’ll tell you why. We typically don’t… But it was sent to us because of the insane amount of calls coming in to every agency asking about her. This could possibly get her family more prayers. Hope for that.
I sincerely hope you recieved permission from the family to publish this. As someone who has dealt with this, this is hard enough to go through without having it posted for everyone to see.
The news stations don’t need permission to tell a story in tv do they?
To my knowledge news is free to be published. I’m sorry this young lady’s family are having to go through this.
Why are you all complaining about the news? They didn’t mention any names. I’m sure this will be on the news in tv at 6.
I see nothing inappropriate published here. The family nor the young lady has been named. So unless you already know the family anyone else reading won’t have a clue who it is.
Tane’ is right, as tragic as the situation is, it’s still news. My dad was killed in 2002 and it was on the news pretty much immediately and it hurt to see or hear it, but news (life and death) has to be reported. News has been reported for thousands of years when you truly think about it, the good, bad and ugly. I pray for anyone who is suffering in any way, but news is not always good, it’s not like they like reporting on tragedies, but it’s their job. Tane’ is as nice as anyone can be, and she has empathy for anyone suffering, I’ve known her since school days. Don’t blame the news, at the end of the day it’s all just news good or bad.
For those of you complaining, you need to wake up and realize that whether you agree with it being published or not, or if they even got permission to publish it, that as unfortunate as it is, this is an online news paper and they are supposed to bring us the news. Do u think for one second that if the big sandy or herald dispatch had the opportunity to get the article that they wouldn’t? Do u think that wsaz or wymt, only shares good news and they get permission from the right sources before they share an article? Of course not. No one’s name was released and no one was defamed in any way, so instead of wasting your time complaining about this, do something productive. We are very fortunate to have the levisa lazer to bring us news. I see so many complaints about them, and truth be known, those that complain are the same ones that sit around their kitchen tables at 4:00 am smoking cigarettes, with no jobs, drawing government assistance and being a nuisance to society. Get a job u bunch of bums and be greatful that we have access to such a blessing like the Levisa Lazer bringing us up to date on you bunch of drug headed, jail bird thieves.
Surely your not as ignorant as your comment! Let us find out,shall we? People like you always assume folks around here choose to be poor/homeless/jobless when in fact, it’s people like you that pass your DUMB logic onto the next clueless idiot! The way I see it, YOU must have been there @ one point in your life, for you have first hand knowledge of what “Lowlife scumbags” do @ 4am! Try helping someone to see their value, build them up, never tear anyone down when you have not the slightest of what they go thru on a daily basis or their entire life to this point! Who knows, that could have been the #1 reason for this YOUNG lady to take her life! Tread carefully young man, you never know when it will be you or someone that’s very important to you. God Help us ALL!
Well Tony it’s abundantly clear by your comments that you are the young man and I’m sure much younger than I. I would almost bet everything I own on it.
To address your point I can say I have never dealt with the issues that I have addressed, but I am very quick to pass judgement when people like myself work their whole lives paying hundreds of dollars a week into the government to support lazy low life thugs that would rather put more effort into scamming someone or stealing from them rather than getting up at 5 am and going out and busting their butt the old fashioned way to earn a living. So yeah I guess you could say that is a sore spot with me bc I am tired of taking care of people who aren’t even willing to take care of theirselves. The next thing I can tell by your comment is that you are the one dealing with your own personal demons based upon how defensive and sensitive you are with the subject. So don’t come at me about trying to help someone when I help many people every week when I get my paycheck and I have over $700 worth of deductions on it and I have to wait in line for an hour at a time at the first of the month just to be able to deposit my check bc the line is wrapped around the building from people that hasn’t ever or isn’t currently employed going to the mailbox to get a check when I’m covered in mud, grit, and grime from earning mine. Now Idk why this young lady done what she done and I feel terrible for her family, but my original comments wasn’t about the young lady they was in response to those complaining about again someone else doing their job and publishing an article that it is their JOB to do. Now go back to your play pen young lad
I can remember when they posted the cause of death in the obituaries of all news papers. The privacy of information does not allow that anymore but I see nothing wrong with posting the cause of this little girls death as long as they don’t reveal the names. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem but it is one of the saddest types of death for everyone involved. My heart goes out to the family.
