This.
Reputational damage via intense social media campaigns is a ‘thing’ these days. It’s pretty obvious in the months leading up to the shooting, that was LKs strategy with respect to her issues with MB and MHG. Along with a choice to dig her heels in, and remain entrenched in his home, and on his property.
These choices began to degrade his life and business- RAPIDLY. He clearly had a mental break. And then the events of August 7, 2019 happened. And the whole situation, and everyone involved got caught up in our legal and justice system. And now multiple lives are truly trashed.
I understood the wisdom involved in turning away from situations like this. Saying nothing. Keeping one’s opinions to themselves. Offering no judgement.
But… that’s how these things get so out of control to begin with. MANY people saw her posts online before the shooting, and thought it was crazy and out of control, and thought it was completely out of order with respect to MB and MHG… but they said and did nothing. The local police did nothing. LKs family did nothing to encourage her to just take the horses and move on to a different trainer and set up well before Aug of 2019.
LK is right back at it now, unrepentantly spouting hyperbolic and untruthful comments on YT.
I think it’s important that people have been speaking up. Even just on COTH. That’s how others will know to stay far far away from her going forward. That’s how others can avoid getting caught up in the ongoing car crash.
