It saddens me to hear that something like this ever had to happen. She may have been crazy (she was schizophrenic after all, and that is completely NOT her fault), and she may have made a perfect pest of herself to David Letterman and that astronaut guy, but that doesn’t mean she deserved to die or that her death should amuse us.

I look at her sweet smile and I wonder, “wasn’t there anybody in the world who loved this woman or cared for her?” If people were less insensitive and dismissive, maybe she could’ve been given some help. I mean, did no doctor ever see her and think, “Wow, this woman would probably benefit from some anti-psychotics”? I imagine her life was very lonely. I think it is sad when anyone is in that situation, and I certainly don’t think people should be treated as though they are unlovable just because they are unattractive—which by the way, is a matter of personal aesthetics. Someone in the world could’ve found her perfectly beautiful.

Everyone in this world should be loved by someone. Maybe if someone had had sympathy for her, or offered her help of some kind, she’d still be alive today. But I assume, as in death, her life was filled with people who called her ugly and crazy, and who treated her like trash. It’s a shameful thing. I’m not saying things would’ve gone differently—maybe she still would’ve done it, and maybe she was unhelpable—but when I see people being so insensitive [to the degree that could regard any one human life as less valuable than another], it really bothers me. You didn’t KNOW this lady, and you don’t know what it was like to be in her shoes.

She had a kid, by the way, and that kid lost his mommy that day she decided the world was too much for her to bear anymore. Should we be “laughing like clowns” about that?

“Rest in peace”?

Had it been a GUY stalking a FEMALE celebrity, you would’ve been LAUGHING like a clown upon hearing about his death.

Freaking double standards!
