What made you feel the need to point out the victim being a minority, and telling the world how deeply suspicious you are because of that, in your original comment if ethnic background doesn't matter to you?
"Opinion or judgment based on inconclusive or incomplete evidence; guesswork."
Not me. Especially when the whole sentence remains in context.
Notice how I said the cause of death is apparent, and didn't try to speculate on what it could be even though the most likely cause is asphyxiation from being stuck in an oven that has been turned on.
Facts are someone died in an oven, and there is no evidence of foul play. Your morbid need to know more than that while not being personally connected to the family is a sickness.
What exactly do you want me to agree with you on?
I'd like to be able to agree that nobody enjoys having their words twisted to suit others' agendas. There seems to be plenty of that going around from both parties, and if you feel I've done that to you then I apologize.
Mostly I'm frustrated here because I'm advocating for the victim. I hope she gets justice and this doesn't happen again - whatever it is that indeed happened. It's equally tragic no matter who it was or where they were from, but 19 is just too young to no longer be here.
Perhaps I'm showing my biases here, but I don't trust institutional monoliths like the police or Walmart. Once bitten, twice shy. The truth is we'll never know what happened because none of us were there.
I've left this discussion with the feeling that you're calling me racist and am out here trying to cause distress for the family. It's just so far off that mark that it goes beyond the pale.
I hope your day gets better.
What does this have to do with the topic of adding conjecture needlessly to conversations?
No you aren't.
This is not "advocating for the victim". This is non sense that adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.
At least you finally understand what I have been saying.
Allow me to confirm your feelings.
I am calling you a racist and saying your actions cause distress to victims. Because you are and they do.
What makes you think it isn't going good? Do you believe that some random with an ignorant opinion on a situation has the ability to destroy my whole day?
The ego on you is impressive. Unwarranted, but impressive.
