[Johndicezx9]

Victim of love?
Super cool teacher?
Crazy pervert?
OG "cougar"?

Geez, only 58.

Wow.
She clearly had a troubled life that played out in public. I suppose she has made her last headline.
All "Hot for teacher' jokes aside she did a lot of damage over a prolonged period of time. I watched an interview with her and "the boy" when he was adult and couldn't help feeling bad for the guy.

 

[Johndicezx9]

Kinda weird they were married for 12 years.

He seemed really bitter towards his family for blowing through the money they won when they sued the school district.

In 1997, Letourneau pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree child rape for her sexual relationship with a 12-year-old student, Vili Fualaau. She was sentenced to seven years in prison.

An RIP post for her? 12 year old target?

I'm sure she's someone that should not be lionized.

That's a reach... :facepalm

Colon cancer. Ouch, that's an awful way to go.

Zero fucks given regarding the death of a pedophile.

Would there be a RIP thread if the person dying was a guy who had sex with a 12 year old girl in 1996?

Nope, hence the double standard.


Cue South Park in 3-2-1....

Oh good, we're glorifying people we shouldn't.

Someone build her a statue we can tear down.

 

[Johndicezx9]

There's multiple threads And pages regarding Epstein. :dunno

She died, it's news now as the story was then, certainly no celebration of her or her actions on my part...

Are RIP threads all celebrations of good people only?

Are RIP threads all celebrations of good people only?

That is kind of the culture here...at least as I see it. I didn't read your post as a celebration of the woman's life, but it certainly came across as a bit more forgiving than if had genders been different--again, just from what I've seen. I'm not assuming that you're pro-pedophile as a result! (Is any one PRO-pedophile? Other than pedophiles of course...and even then, I think (hope) they gross themselves out some.)

 

[Johndicezx9]

I see it as a somewhat notable story compared to other pedo stories, including teacher/student incidents, considering the coverage of all that happened after, including their marriage and subsequent children, their attempts to prove "their love was real", to capitalize off their notoriety...

ahhh, WashingtoM in the 90's. I wonder why I ever left for CaliforMia. :dunno

well, the word "notable" spells.. NOTABLE; not "RIP"

I think people are taking umbrage, that you're noting it with a P. Unless you meant Pieces. Did you know what R.I.P. means? shows the danger of using abbreviations--they remove the substance of words and are easily used to mind-control the populace.

What a crazy wacko from 1996, the first of which I hear from the news of her passing today.

Did anyone ever research whether she had a pathological deviation, in order to engage in a terrible, despicable act with a 12 y/o at her 34 y/o of age?

wack.

RE: Use of "RIP"

I try my best not to spit on too many people's graves... even if I do spit on some.

 

[Melissa]

she was a pedophile who possibly changed her behavior after he turned 18. Unless of course she continued to abuse children.......

Can we just change the thread title to:

Mary Kay Letourneau, dead at 58

Maybe my heart is bleeding a little more than usual today. Did she prey on a child? Yeah. She had his kids though and at one point they were in what they thought was love and he was old enough to consent. Was it fucked up? Yeah. Sometimes life is. Do I think she was a threat to society? Not much of one as far as I can tell. Either way shes's dead and she went in a really awful way. I'll dance on some graves but not hers.

 

[Johndicezx9]

That'll work for me...

 

[Mike95060]

That'll work for me...

FWIW, I didn't thing you were trying to make her a saint with the "RIP" designation. most dead people threads in the sink use "RIP" it was in bounds in my book but others who may have an issue with it have a point.
