(135,425 posts)Who, save YOU, said that the landlord "took" anything, never mind MEDIA. Be kind of hard to steal anything, given all the cameras in there.
The renters--who abandoned the property to the Great Unknown via death--are not coming back. They're DEAD.
What's a "curve?" Do you mean CURB? Kind of hard to take your guidance as be-all or end-all because it sounds like you're making it up as you go along. If it's "at the CURVE" (cough) the city will come and take it--because the OWNERS of the stuff are DEAD.
That's beside the point, anyway--because no one TOOK anything.
The landlord can let anyone walk through HIS property if he'd like. It's not fit for habitation--the police trashed it pretty effectively. Leases don't "pass down" like family jewels. When you're dead, that pretty much indicates you've abandoned the home.
Most landlords are polite and let survivors get the stuff left behind, but they're not going to seal the joint off and not do what they need to do to get ready for the next occupant--to include making a few dollars to pay for repairs. Let us not compare this lease between a dead couple and a landlord to a mortgage or anything else. He has no obligation to anyone but himself--the cops trashed his propperty, he's not going to be making money off that mess for awhile, now--might as well cover some costs until he can persuade the police to maybe help him with the damages.
Sorry that you're so upset about these two. Quite frankly, I'm not. I'm more "upset" that they killed fourteen and wounded twenty, and made it harder for people fleeing persecution to find shelter here in USA. Heckuvajob, though!
As for the FT HOOD shooter, you need to do your homework before you make pronouncements--TIME did a photo essay on his apartment.

Are you trying to insist that the photographer credit "Erin Trieb for TIME" really means "some cop took these pics?" SMH!!!!!
No matter how much you protest, people ARE interested in the way murderers live. They always have been. It's why reporters seek out these kinds of images--because, like I said the first time, people looking at them want to try to understand how people lived, and if the way they lived gives any insight into their nature.
As for Holmes, the place was full of weaponry and booby traps--it wasn't safe. But if you think reporters weren't trying to psychoanalyze him via those pictures, I have a bridge to sell you:

Not sure what you think you're "proving" there--if reporters could have safely gotten in there, they sure as hell would have. That's what being a reporter is all about.
And not sure why you're waving the Constitution around, either--this is a human compulsion, not one that stops at the water's edge.
And if you think that "six month old child" a) Gives a shit, or b) Will be known by the same name by the time she hits pre-school; I have a bridge to sell you. She'll disappear into the larger family and get a name change, so her parents' assholishness and murderous ways don't taint her life. Again, no one is "stealing her shit." The landlord is making money to repair some of those holes in his walls and ceiling. I don't think you'll donate to the "Re-sheetrock the terrorists' apartment building" GoFundMe account, after all--he has to get his money from somewhere.
Once a crime scene is cleared, it is CLEARED. There isn't any requirement that it be made a shrine to the murderers. Not sure why you think that should be the case.
Fuck them. They're dead. They murdered good, decent people who had been nothing but kind to them.
"SOME HUMANS" care about the people who are the VICTIMS of murderous shitheads, too.
right back atcha.
Priorities....!! SMH!
