Ashley Simpson: Death Threats for the Holidays

 I was going to write something a little upbeat this weekend.

It's been a sad time for the Simpson family, but everyone is grateful to the RCMP that Ashley's remains were found. Even after nearly six years, it's gratifying to know that they never stopped looking for her.

And we were pretty pumped that Derek Favell has finally been charged with second degree murder and is remanded into custody until December 21, with the judge giving him the opportunity to secure legal counsel. No problem, dude, everyone is entitled to a lawyer. We'll give you that.

But seriously, Derek. You need to get better friends. I mean, it appears, you still have some.  Like this beauty who sent me a friendly note of condolences on Messenger.


I have questions. 

Amanda, what's up girl? Why so angry? 

Perhaps you need some counselling. Or an actual life. 

My cousin John whose daughter was murdered also received a lovely note from you last night. I cannot share it because it is so profane that I would lose my blogging rights if I were to repeat it.

Very creative. The seven words you can't say on television. Plus some new ones that hadn't been invented when George Carlin did his famous routine. You must be British. Only the British refer to males as c---ts. 

Do you kiss your mama with that mouth?

I didn't block you BTW because if I blocked you I wouldn't be able to show this nice note to the RCMP which I am doing right after I get off this blog. 

People go to jail for uttering death threats, you know?

Anyway, anything happens to me or my family... 

Well it won't.

You are a sniveling coward hiding behind your keyboard. Oh yeah, an anti-vaxxer, too.

See, I checked you out.

If you are a real person, you might want to seek legal counsel before the cops come knocking on your door. But don't worry. 

I hear Derek knows a lot of lawyers these days.

Have a lovely holiday season!

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
