Hannah, the ultimate garbage troll. This post is actually bordering on the legal action side.<BR><BR>You note that Hannah posts this as a "scare post". Also note that it's already 2 months old. Note that she also didn't post the resolution. He was stabbed by his roomate in a dispute.<BR><BR>Hannah crawl back under your rock!

Not at all a scare post. Safety is a major issue for many people. Nice to know the St. Maarten murder was solved.
