I want to think the best here, but it still sounds like you're blaming her. Kinda how someone says 'No offense, but' just before saying something they know is offensive.
Just because a particular murder isn't random, it doesn't mean it was brought on by the victim.
Ok let's bring this back to high school composition classes since we're going to pick apart people's words and try to analyze them, and give our own interpretations.

There is no "No offense, but". My point is that I am NOT... NOT... blaming her AT ALL. (I can bold too) If it was a stranger, it had to be someone she had come into contact with.... not just a random murder. Maybe someone from the internet she knew, maybe a drug situation (not a violent community but filled with many drug users), maybe someone from a bar. A neighbor that had a problem with her. That is what I meant by brought on by her.... that it wasn't a RANDOM murder.(Yep I copy and pasted that because I don't feel like retyping everything out)

This is not saying that it is her fault. Is it a girl's fault that she was raped while on a date? No. Is it my friend from high school's fault that she married a "To catch a predator" kinda guy? No. It happens.... IN OUR COMMUNITY.... and it doesn't have to be the girl's fault. THAT IS WHAT I MEANT BY "BROUGHT ON BY HER".

Just so everyone knows, I have plans tonight. So if you have more to pick apart and I don't answer, it's not because I can't verify my post or what I meant, it's because I have a life.

Oh, the tired "I have a life" reasoning that somehow implies that no one else does. Boring.
Who're these here cowards?

MomofPNM- Thank you for not being an assuming dumbass.
Just used your own words there, didn't have to assume anything.

Yes, I should have elaborated but didn't get a chance seeing as how I had to run out to errands and hit the button quickly. Didn't think I'd get THAT response. I'm not blaming her...
Your words were, and your response is still ass backwards. "I didn't mean it was her fault, I'm just saying that she had to have known him."

All your speculation aside, I'm going to guess the police looked at the brother first and unless this is spectacular misdirection on their part, probably ruled him out.

Oh yes, lets.
"Brought on by her" implies she had control over the situation. She did the action, by "bringing" it "on." You did not say "someone she had contact with" or "someone from outside the community that knew her" because really that is speculation and wishful thinking. Which many people do following a tragedy. It is, after all, far more easy on the mind if it's not someone you know.

So, a "stranger" to you means "not a stranger?" Do you not understand what the definition of "stranger" means? A random encounter at a bar is a stranger, a neighbor is not. A drug dealer is not a stranger, nor is an internet friend.
Additionally, your use of the phrase "brought on by her" would get you flunked out of high school comp if you were using it to suggest "she brought this individual into the community."

Moreover, it is wishes and rainbows to insist that it could not have been someone from IN the community who was the murderer just because you know them. Obviously we don't know who the murderer was yet, no matter who it turns out to be, your belief is still based on sprinkles and cupcakes.

That is not what those words mean. Good try though. I mean, I know what you're trying to say now, but eh, you did a shitty job of it and I think you have no factual basis for it other than you want it to be true.

You want a cookie or something?
