Gary Grimes becomes the recipient of her sorrow, to put it politely. Some interesting trivia. It is autobiographical, and the although he never saw her again, she wrote to him after the movie came out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_'42#Factual_basis He never saw her again; his last "encounter" with her, recounted on an episode of The Mike Douglas Show, came after the film's release in 1971, when she was one of over a dozen women who wrote letters to Raucher claiming to be "his" Dorothy. Raucher recognized the "real" Dorothy's handwriting, and she confirmed her identity by making references to certain events only she could have known about. She told Raucher that she had lived for years with the guilt that she had potentially traumatized him and ruined his life. She told Raucher that she was glad he turned out all right, and that they had best not re-visit the past. If only some older woman would have "traumatized" me at that age...

ryoder 1,381 #502 July 15, 2020 Well, the accused claims it was an accident. Just another example of someone too stupid to possess a gun, even if he is a cop. https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/cop-who-threatened-kill-protesters-shoots-kills-colleague-who-knocked-door-affidavit-says/BMAXC27P7FA7LMIAXFQUJAHZJE/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreece 189 #504 July 16, 2020 (edited) From Article: Quote "According to an arrest affidavit, Salyers had previously threatened to shoot protesters through his door." “Sgt. Wharton told me that he instructed Officer Salyers that he could not do that because it was reckless and negligent,” Jacks wrote in the arrest affidavit. “Wharton stated that they could not shoot anyone without identifying them first and identify(ing) that there was a threat.” So that's all? Everything's fine now, no red flags there, nothing to see here? Why wasn't this guy immediately relieved of his duty and firearm until further evaluation, especially a psych evaluation? It's like I said before, some of these shootings just shouldn't fall under the category of an accident, like that drunk guy that deliberately shot the gun in his friends face thinking it was empty.

wmw999 2,116 #505 July 16, 2020 (edited) Because his coworkers all know they’ve done stupid shit and gotten away with it. They’re in a club/family/tribe, and they understand each other, and have each others’ backs. They hope that if they’re that stupid sometime, someone will have their backs. Me with nearly everyone, Turtle with conservative politicians, you with Christians, plenty of folks here with liberals. And then there are the reflexive against — Normiss against religion, etc. It’s wrong when someone else does it, and it’s wrong when we do it without some reflection. Wendy P.
