HP, we cross posted :-). Thanks for being so non-inflammatory. I can get worked up. You think it's more benign? But, I have such school damage, and people started making fun of her face....
And to say she deserved what she got? I guess my depression makes it too personal. I don't even know her, but feel sad. I am just going with the positive that the people who knew her will mourn, and there will always be 'the peanut-crunching crowd who will push in to see', as Sylvia Plath once wrote. Make sure they have lots of peanuts, (non-GMO), and keep the police tape up.
Sigh. Thanks for the reality check.
> The Internet just turns people into harmless trolls. 99% of those people wouldn't think to say stuff like that in a face-to-face conversation. It's just harmless fun really. I admit I did the same thing when Vancouver had the riots after they lost the Stanley Cup.

> I never really listened to Amy much when she was alive but I have since she died and it's pretty good. I love her style and the poof - it's so awesome somebody wears their hair and makeup and everything like that. I like seeing her perform. I guess she always did her own thing, had her own talent and style that she nurtured and it's sad to lose somebody like that. Especially with the manufactured oversexed crap that passes for music these days.
