    She didn’t die. She was murdered.

        That’s not the point.

          I know what your point is, I just think it’s pointless. Does it matter whether she was murdered in prison specifically, died because of bad prison conditions, died because another inmate murdered her or any other reason?

          The point is she was in prison she shouldn’t be in. And your “point” is just obnoxious.

            So… Let’s say your parents are murdered tomorrow. And the investigators and the news reports just say that they died suddenly on Monday, you know full well that they were actually murdered, they just ignored using the term ‘murdered’, you’d be totally okay with that?

            Those 2 phrasings have the exact same meaning to you?

              It wouldn’t matter because they’d be dead. They wouldn’t be able to feel any which way about it

    I fear her remains may not be returned with all of her organs.

    I feel so sorry for her family, and for her, since they thought she was coming home alive.

    It’s sad that it takes pretty people dying to care more. The world is strange. RIP to her and Slava Ukraini.

    RIP Alexei Navalny and who knows how many countless others too.

    Ha! The bad writing in this title suggests it’s about gamine dice - but singular - somehow related to occupation.

    In all seriousness, one would hope that the person writing would have taken more care to properly delineate the sub-clause instead of using the American Ghost Comma. Someone has died here; and yet, still no care in writing about it.
