You know I don't think this is the time or place to put her life out there like that. Regardless or her personal habits what happened was tragic and a little respect should be shown. As future L.E.O.'s many of the people that we come in contact with will not be "class A" but they shall still be treated with respect and humanity. Who are you to judge her life.....

Not Important you are so right. Whoever wrote that THANK YOU for not identifying yourself. You are a CLASS A - HOLE. Someone daughter, sister, froiend has been killed show some respect you spineless stupid f&*k

I know her cousin and she's very very sad about Brittany's death at school.
It's horribly tragic---I can't even imagine losing my cousin like that.
Please keep praying for her family and friends.

I am sad to hear of this loss. I have deleted the one post that was inappropriate and asked Mod 1 to have that poster banned.

My prayers go out to her family, friends, fellow explorers, and agency.
