within hours of a man's death, group - including judge, plunder his home, unaware of cameras

[Demovictory9]

outrageous. Summary: EMT take man to hospital and he dies, Widow has dementia and it taken somewhere. Within hours, group that knows the couple, show up and PLUNDER the home. Knowing the sister is starting 12 hour journey to home,...they rush to take all they can. UNAWARE that cameras are recording inside and out...video and audio.

chief judge swore her in as judge knowing about the allegations. Judge had officiated at funeral. sheriff has not charged anyone. small corrupt incestuous (politically) small town.

2. Reminds me of a story my Mom told me from the 1930s

Grandma Smith had died, the family gathered for the funeral and service at the cemetery. Just as soon as the last bit of prayers were said it was then a car race from the old country graveyard to the house and a free for all to “grab what ya can” as the “loving” family stripped the house of any and everything the could get their hands on.

Folks are great…..

3. about 10 years (?) a man fell sick and was put in the hospital. when he got out, his daughters had

stripped his home of EVERYTHING. the only remaining item was a organ with a sticky on it with name of one of the daughters.

When he entered the hospital, they had assumed he would die and had a free for all. really horrible. very greedy. A neighbor had to loan him a bed. I would have loved to see the first time he and the daughters interacted.

5. Yeah, I bet the next Family gathering

Is/was interesting….

6. When I was a university student, the mother of one of my classmates

died suddenly in Montego Bay. By the time she reached home she saw her mother's so called neighbours and friends walking out with the TV, furniture, China, silverware, jewelry etc.
It shattered her faith in humanity to this day. She said she didn't know what shocked her more - her mother's sudden death or discovering the number of so called friends and neighbours who were common thieves.

7. Sick, sick, sick

We’ve become a greedy, thieving society. This is consumerism at its finest.

9. Make that world

and this is not new - - it is sick sick sick!

[calimary]

12. Man, "sick, sick, sick" is right! And shameful, shameful, shameful.

That’s about as disgraceful and opportunistic and exploitive as anything I’ve ever heard!

What a lower-than-low blow. Man, that’s beyond kicking somebody when he’s/she’s down.

15. Oh, please. Speak for yourself, if you must. But even your acceptance

of it as part of your society doesn't make me assume you'd do it. Not unless, perhaps, you were caught up in a group doing it, and only you might guess how likely that would be.

For people in general, this assumption is extremely insulting and inappropriate. Here and in other nations.

Seriously: When have you seen this happen?

Hell......in a hand basket.

10. This is why states...

Can't have all the power in legal matters and why we need a federal level justice system. One that isn't full of criminal intent like this county in the story.

11. Wow. I worried about my mom's house after she fell and broke her ankle.

She went to the nursing home for what we hoped would be a few months recovery, but problems continued to stack up until she died several months after the fall. I live five hours away and was going there every 2-3 weeks, checking on her and dealing with the house. On the one hand, it's a small town with a low crime rate. On the other hand, it's a small town and a lot of people knew that the lady who had been living in that house was now in the nursing home and nobody else was staying in the house. It was always undisturbed every time I arrived, thank goodness, but once I dug into Mom's finances I did wonder if there was more cash in her purse before her ambulance ride to the hospital half an hour away.

13. Disgusting.

14. This happened when my grandmother died.

She didn't have much, but when we got to her house, the silver, china, and jewelry were gone, and some of the furniture had post-it notes "reserving" it for people.

My grandfather was a musician, and he had a bunch of violins and vintage guitars that were gone. My brother went around to some of the people on the post-it notes and got back three of the violins and a guitar. He said they acted all offended when he told them they had no business taking that stuff.

16. A lot of times people give away possessions before they die, and

very likely some of the happenings in these stories are like that.

When we first built our house a friend offered us a few pieces of old, unvaluable wood furniture a dying relative told him to offer us. Neither guy liked his niece and her family, with whom he was not close, and he preferred to give them to strangers. With two empty guest rooms, I said yes and they were delivered over.

Within a week the relatives, outraged that even these old things had been given away to strangers, demanded our friend get them back. He passed the info on, and I said if they wanted them they should have them, even though they were now ours (and despite a minor pang at losing one funky-cool old cabinet). Then, on meeting them when they came to get the stuff, I felt bad that we hadn't said no to honor the dead owner's decision, but oh well.

These days no doubt we'd figure as thieves in one of these stories. In fact, on every retelling we undoubtedly do. They're not nice people.

18. Last year when my own Mom died...

I was offered her expensive "lift recliner."

I knew damn well I didn't need it, and it would get all full of cat hair.

I gave it to my brother-in-law who has a heart condition, he really was happy to accept it.

I have two items from my Mom, a porcelain "Wisconsin" wall hanging, and a Lego Jack Sparrow.
