Quoted from Patches

red tape ...red tape....that's what caused this woman's death......read between the lines...

this officer went by the book.....and that was the cause.....we have lost compassion and empathy ....

is saving a life more important than not using common sense to save a life???'''''

it;s a world that has lost it's respect for one's neighbor......God save  us...

it's a world that has choices....why was she here in Schenectady? how did she get 'invited'?

HOW UNCOMPASSIONATE......WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE.....DID YOU TRY TO HELP HER????


ROTTERDAM TUNNEL VISION.....THINKING THIS IS ANY OR ANYONE IS ANY BETTER THAN THOSE WHO ARE OUR NEIGHBORS....


SO SAD......PITY ON YOU...

MY POINT WAS questioning WHO HERE invited her.....you can't tell me the police didn't investigate who/how/why/when
because if they didn't that would be a shame....

I forgot why she was in the jail to begin with other than she was here to engage in the fabulous Schenectady scene..

yes, her choices are her choices because that's what life is and it's a sad thing that happens to humans all the time
every where....never under same circumstances...but bad things happen ALL the time....

I am sad for her...but at the same time I didn't live in her head....and no one lives in mine either...and I'm pretty sure
no one lives in your either....unless we let them in of course.....even then understanding is rather limited amongst
us....

Senders, very well stated. It seems we hold some of the same views re: choices.

I'm pretty sure Patches just HEARS them in her head.  Lord knows there's plenty of room, but they all refused to move in.

Quoted Text

Latisha Mason was first brought to Ellis Hospital after she was found collapsed and confused in a snowbank one evening in early February 2011.
    When first hospitalized, the 28-year-old dental hygienist and single mother from Connecticut tested positive for a toxic cocktail of substances, including PCP and marijuana. But after less than two hours under observation, she was released into the night.
    Over the next four days, the highly erratic Mason would bounce between the custody of the Schenectady County jail and Ellis, returning to the hospital on five separate occasions. The sixth time, she was pronounced dead.
