One of my wife's colleagues lost a daughter a couple of days ago,
tuesday morning.
Neither of us knew the daughter.

Amber was murdered in cold blood.

She was a teller at a bank in Tulsa.
She gave the robbers all the money in the tills.
The two robbers told her & her boss, the bank president, to open the vault.
The boss explained that it was on a time lock & could not be opened.

They shot the Amber three times in the belly.
They shot the bank president.
They shot a customer lying face down on the floor.

They ran away
using the same route one had used in a previous robbery
of the same bank just a couple of weeks before.

Amber died.

I am very angry.
 
That is terrible news.....so sad to hear of a life cut short for no reason whatsoever. There are no words to say to Amber's parents that will ease their pain and that can make one feel so useless in these situations.

It always angers me how parents can spend years protecting, nuturing, loving their children only to have some one take that precious life away without even a thought. What should be done to those kind of people is another topic all together but I hope you and your wife can befriend Amber's family in this hour.

My sincerest regrets to them....

I have a daughter, and have great fear in life that something might happen to her. I can't imagine the pain of loosing someone as close as a daughter.
I also can't understand any SOB that would harm a girl- nor do I want to understand them. I hope they get swift and deadly karma.

words fall short all the way round...
 
Bad news, indeed. Bad things happen to good people. I'm not sure why but this is how it is and there is nothing we can do about it except send smoke for those affected.
 
I don't have an answer - but maybe a public hanging in front of the county seat might deter recidivism.
 
The survivors truly suffer the most.
 
Words fail me. :( Uncle Bill has it right; all we can do now is pray for the survivors. And pray that the police catch the scum before they can kill again.
 
I pray for the parents of all involved, and that in the end all will find peace. Somedays, it seems like the prayer list just keeps growing and growing, with fewer and fewer of those prayers being ones of thanks. :(
 
I hope those scum suffers ten fold and get no peace even after death (if there is such a thing as tormented ghosts and spirits). :mad:
 
When and if they catch the bastids, you can bet they are not strangers to the "criminal justice system." :mad:

It's seemed like that this whole year for me.

I quit smoking a few years back, and now it seems I'm chain-sending incense instead of tobacco.
