Unrelatedly Unhinged People & their stories
A lady Realtor received a phone call last week up in Jefferson County, Wi to show one of their Remax Office listed properties, and off she went to meet this stranger who has now confessed to a crime he claims he committed.
When she didn't come home that evening the realtors family starting calling her office staff to see if they knew where she was, and eventually it was found out that she had gone to show a home and not returned.
She was found strangled and burnt.
The man who has given his confession claims he was angered when she asked him why he would want to buy a home that he couldn't afford easily? This we should call house rage, similar to road rage, people triggering, people snapping, people killing over a question that we've been told to poise when dealing with buyers especially now due to our housing market problems, where homeowners feel they were push into buying on an arm loan...maybe too tight for their resources.
But to take a life of a 70+ year old woman over a question she is trained to pre-qualify potential buyers, she is trained to do a lot of numbers in her head.

Through an insurance agency I spend time with: A client who owns a business in Chicago, mi-Chicago is in his Fullerton buildings second floor office doing paperwork, minding his own business, and in walks a masked man with a gun, he demands his money and his rolex watch, threatens violence with words yelled.
Who the hell are these people? Who taught them right from wrong? They know it's wrong if they're wearing a mask?

Me, a girl of 18 goes into a Pharmacy in Northwest Chicago years back to pick up a prescription for my Ma who was sick and sitting out in my car, we had just gotten back from the east end of Chicago after her doctor appointment. A Man walks in quickly, waves his gun in our faces, and makes us lay on the floor if we don't want to be shot, and leaves with the cash registers money.

Self control, what does it really mean? Coveting thy neighbors goods, and what it really means?
Thy Shalt not kill, and it very bottom line meaning?
We have to look somewhere for the solution, they say to look within yourself when you see things, qualities you don't like in another, and yet we have the unhinged portion to deal with, the people who think we aren't all the same...that their needs run higher than the next guys.
If people could just truly know we are all purple, we are all from one walk of life, all with problems, all without immediate solutions. We should learn to value the next guy, the guy with no name next to us, in front of us.
Value humanity.
