RIP.
I get CKNW new flashes sent to me though my email. That's all I got.Sad, no matter who they where. Post the original link to the story please
I think it's more this was someone's daughter, sister, friend, lover etc. not just a sex worker. kinda cheapens her life if that's how they portray her.
Hope that reads like i mean it to.
I think post Pickton, people tend to focus on the "sex trade worker" part as a "do we have another serial killer loose?" and not an indictment of her life. We don't want a repeat of that abysmal investigation - police have to take these murders more seriously if for no other reason that they will look like bumbling fools in the media if they don't.It reads right to me, and I agree.
It's like saying, "It was just an elementary teacher that was killed today, not a doctor."
As if what we do somehow constitutes who and what we ARE, and the measure of our 'worth.'
I'm guessing this is in response to Angela's comment. I think she just meant that it is a sad affair, whomever or whatever she was. It's sad that it comes down to 'was' when portraying a person's life upon death. I know you didn't mean anything by that AA, it just can be read in different context.
