I read both Lara Osborne’s update and LK’s FB post.
What struck me was how they were almost identical in their formula, just expressed from the opposing sides of the tragedy. The formula is;
- Four years ago, this horrible tragedy somehow “just happened to me”.
- No matter how devastating the events, I am a survivor.
- I am grateful for my friends and supporters and loved ones.
- There is more to the story that has not been revealed thus far, and when it is revealed in the future, it will make it even more apparent that the other side is at fault.
Both sides made stupid, irresponsible decisions which culminated in the tragedy. However, it has always struck me as particularly bizarre that LO describes MB as getting a gun and shooting, or shooting at, two people as a tragic event which somehow just befell MB. He avoided prison for the shooting because he was found to be insane when he shot her, but somehow it’s outrageous that he should be confined to a psychiatric facility (according to LO).
I don’t believe the claims that more will be revealed later — from either side.
