And the most disturbing part is that her greatest fear was being buried alive. I pray that she never woke up.

9. What people need to remember, especially those who profess to be Christians,

is that Jesus was a homeless man. He only owned the clothes on his back and depended upon others to shelter him or to give him food or money. As Jesus taught in Matthew 25:

Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For i was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothes you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Many homeless are former military vets, families and children, and many even have jobs, full time jobs. In the richest nation in the world we should not have homeless and hungry on our streets. God save us from the "you're on your own", "get a job" philosophy of the Republicans.

12. These asswipes thought she'd be o.k?

Did they stop to consider what might happen if the tide came in, even if she did survive the burial?

I say it's murder!
