In answer to your questions:
I would not have killed someone who pissed me off, no matter how bad.
There is no behavior of a victim that counts as “asking for it,” especially when “it” is getting shot in the chest.
It doesn’t matter that the victim has a history of being extreme. Nothing justifies killing someone.
Did you really mean to argue that Barisone “could not have done otherwise, given the victim’s behavior”?
I think the article was fine, as for Joey she did print the crazy post from Lauren, that says more to me than joey tweeting the president.
It would have said more if she had included her side of the conversation. GirlJoey admitted on this forum she used profanity and said terrible things as well in her and LK interactions. These online nasty back and forth are all ridiculous and wrong, but let’s be fair. Her words to me when she thought I was LK(and sad some people encouraged the paranoia) were very telling and so ugly they were deleted and she was banned. Interesting she came back under a new name, just what she was claiming other people do. In the NYT article it noted safe sport concluded the complaints about LK were personal issues, and they did not take any action. I am not attacking anyone, just stating the facts.
Exactly.
I must be more careful in the future when I rent someplace I don’t say “I sat on my porch”, but say instead ”I sat on (insert property owners name” porch”. I guess if I stay at a hotel I shouldn’t also say “I am going back to my room” but instead “I am going back to Best Western’s Room” Gee-Wiz, seriously?
Oh dear. According to her Facebook page, SW thinks being quoted in the NYT story is proof of “her influence as Dressage Hub.” Never mind the fact that she was quoted as an example of crazy and horrific bullying. The delusion is real…I feel like SW and LK are vying for the Guinness World Record in attention-seeking, BSC behaviour. Two peas in a pod!
Guess whats back…back again…this thread is back…tell a friend!!! Yes its back, yes its back, I’m so bored, here at work… daadaadadadaaaa ( Yes its the Eminem song. I am so happy I have something to do at work now to avoid working everyone chat onward!!!
Honestly I kind of think that the people that keep saying everyone says LK deserved to be shot are just reading what they want to. I’ve only seen a veeeery few people actually say that, and most of them have been rejected. I don’t understand why you guys are not understanding that people saying LK instigated it is NOT saying that she deserved to be shot with the intent to kill. It’s saying that she played a part in this and is not an innocent victim. She is still a victim, but not an innocent victim. There IS a difference. It doesn’t matter when it comes to the court rulings, but for some people it still matters to them personally. And if it comes out officially that he had started bullying her (actual evidence of it, like we have seen for her being awful to people) and that instigated everything else, all of those people will probably change their personal view of the whole thing yet again.
Point being, just because people don’t believe she was innocent in all of this a)doesn’t mean they think she should have been shot and b) doesn’t make them insane and awful.
And it’s freaking ridiculous that this has to be repeated over and over because some people can’t wrap their heads around it. Not sure why I even bother saying anything, call it one last attempt to make them understand and defend my own viewpoint.
And if you are just calling those few people that have actually said she deserved to be shot insane and awful, then say that. Don’t say that everyone is saying that. Because we aren’t.
No one was killed.
You really cannot think of an instance where a “victim” was “asking for it”? Because I sure can! If a man was abusing his wife/gf/so, and she shot him, or if a child being abused shot their abuser I bet you would be singing a very different tune! (Just some examples of shooting “victims” that may not be victims after all)
Having a history of “being extreme” does matter if you are fearing for your safety because of past history. I think that is probably why prison guards have guns. Again NO ONE WAS KILLED!!
We do not know what took place at the house, given MB’s injuries, the statement from LK that AFTER being shot “2 times center mass point blank” she was able to jump on MB, smash her phone in his ear, breaking her phone in his ear, while keeping him off of RG, it might seem like the timeframe of the “victim’s” account could maybe be off by a few minutes.
I have no love for LK. I am glad that she survived. I hope that no one else gets sucked into her black hole of evilness and that no one else goes through the nighmare that MB, MH and the rest of the people that were living at the farm during that period, went through!
I noticed you chose to believe your own narrative over LKs and what the journalist is saying…interesting to see how posters choose sides on what they want to believe is true about people or what happened, regardless of facts. Seriously, if you ignore all the verified information, media, and the victim and still choose to say its all lies because of some celeb crush on MB…its very strange.
Right…thats the status of the logic in this thread 
Just because you don’t type out THE EXACT WORDS…doesn’t mean it isn’t being said. Some readers are smart enough to read through the symantics…there are more to words than the basic words typed. It is very obvious how many posters stand and the constant denial like this just makes y’all look as crazy as you think LK is.
LK admitted on fb posts that she called CPS. Also, considering that the so called journalist has so many wrong items in the article, from LK’s age, to MB winning a medal in the olympics, yes they corrected that, to the issue that the reason that MB asked LK to leave was due to his part of the house flooding, which is totally and completely false. I certainly would not say that it is verified information.
I agree about that article, but there are many others. My point isn’t about the facts, it is that the posters choose which facts to ignore and which to believe based on their already formed opinion.
If you wash some of the facts because they don’t fit the narrative, you have to wash them all.
What “facts” do we actually know for sure?
That’s about it.
Well that was pretty wild to read - thanks for the link!
MB was living in the barn while LK and her fiance lived in the house.
LK has a history of making threats and stalking.
LK has said many different things as fact since the event.
Technically they lived in the apartment, in the house, no?
I believe it was more like a room, from what I have read here so not sure we can say any of that is facts. They were in the house is a fact. MB was in the barn is a fact.
And that is your own problem then. Because me personally, that is not at all what I meant so there is nothing beyond the “semantics”. And I’m kind of sad you see it that way. I always like things you post. But I think you are looking too deeply into it.
Let’s also add that Barisone claims the shooting was in self defense… I doubt that he coaxed her off the porch (where she claims she was) and then just pulled the trigger… but we don’t really know, and that’s the point. Everyone wishes this had not happened, but we all wonder why it did and what actions were taken on both sides that lead to such a tragedy.
