Hurricane Katrina will forever be in our minds, and the chilling stories we saw on the television after it will forever haunt us. And as far as the people that lived it, I don’t think it will ever leave their minds. It will probably always be a haunting memory deep within their minds.

It appears now that those memories are so deep seated that 30 year old Lance Schilling shot himself in an apparent suicide. He was one of the New Orleans police officers that was caught on tape beating a retired school teacher who was on Bourbon Street just trying to buy cigarettes. The story is saying they don’t believe his suicide was connected with the beating, but with his trial coming up later this month, I’m going to beg to differ on this one.

I think you’re right … how sad. :(

Wow. There is just no way to to tell what your own actions might do to your spirit in the years down the road.

Jeez, that’s actually the first time I’ve seen that video. Very disturbing :(

I’d say you’re probably right about his reasons for committing suicide. Perhaps it was immense feelings of guilt or maybe just fear of spending life in prison. Either way I imagine there was a connection to it all.

BTW, did you know comment box extends underneath your right-hand sidebar in firefox? It’s a little tricky. Once the comment text starts to flow beneath the sidebar I sit here hoping there’s no typos under there ;)

Hey Mike, thanks for that info on my comment box. Can you give me some more detail on what you are viewing my blog with? Mac/PC? Resolution? FF version? You are the second person to tell me this today, and the first person was on a MAC.

Hi Julie! I’m on a PC using Firefox 2.whatever the last update was :)

I can email you a screenshot if you’d like to see what it looks like to me over here :)


MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 11 June, 2007 at 11:18 pm

Hey Mike. I’m on the same here, and I’m not seeing this…please send me a screen shot to justjulieATgmailDot.com. What resolution are you running?


MyAvatars 0.2 Mike on 11 June, 2007 at 11:27 pm

I’m using a 1440×900 resolution. I have a widescreen monitor. That might be where the problem lies. Hmm.

Putting together a screenshot for you right now :)


MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 12 June, 2007 at 12:13 am

I don’t think the resolution is the problem, as I was able to duplicate the problem.

Can you check your browser settings for me real quick?

VIEW>TEXT SIZE

Is that set at something other than normal? If it is, there is going to be trouble with the text box :(
