someone tried to kill me last year

[Rich Hunt]

Lake Shore Drive, Easter Sunday, 6 PM. 2005. Chicago.

I was deliberately plowed into by a guy behind me who accelerated, probably going more than 90 mph

It was a murder for hire, and since then I've been trying to put it together

It's political - they hate me and my father.

I'm sick as a dog and out of a job and suicidal.

Won't someone believe me, even if I die.

I'm out of hope. I have nothing left to lose. I'm tired of trying to get justice, there is none.

I've gotten nothing but slander and harassing phone calls since then, and still no justice.

I didn't get my vacation money from my employer, and they promised it. It's to put an
end to me. They put a gun to my head and made me sign an agreement not to talk about it.

Unemployment promised to call me and never did.

I have no money. I don't know why I'm telling you this, because it's too late.

You promise hope and never deliver.

My name is Kerry Lynn Keane. I have a name and am a real person.

But it's just too bloody late.

1. Well, that says it all. Thanks for all the info! n/t

[Selatius]

2. This sounds like a suicide note.

There's little time, but don't give up and don't give in. If you think you have lost everything, you haven't because you still have your life, and with that life comes the ability to affect the lives of others in positive ways, even if your own life is burning in flames. You must have relatives and friends who would miss you terribly if you give up. You may think nobody would miss you if you are gone, but they would.

3. Anybody in Chicago?

Somebody needs to call the authorities.

[FormerDittoHead]

6. Check the date - last EASTER? There's a POINT that OP doesn't say. n/t

[stepnw1f]

9. Last Easter Somebody Tried Killing Her

[FormerDittoHead]

16. In Chicago - no telling where she is NOW...

As I've been saying, WTF?

[Mabus]

12. Still alive as of September 21, 2005

[uppityperson]

20. I did a quick check too. Kerry, what they all said.

You feel alone but are not.

[SmokingJacket]

4. If you're suicidal you need to go to the emergency room ASAP.

Don't hang around here posting: get thee to a doctor.

[nonconformist]

5. Your employer put a gun to your head? What the....

You should call a suicide hotline right now.

No joke.

[AndyA]

7. As quickly as things turned bad for you, they can turn around again

Don't give up! You have as much to offer as anyone else. Don't allow those who wish you harm to win. Quite often things are at their worst just before they get better.

In today's world, it can be very hard to face each day. But that is what we must do, because good days could be just around the corner. Hang in there, and I'll be sending good thoughts your way and hope that things get better for you very soon.

8. Somebody Call the Authorities in Chicago!!!

anybody...

[KansDem]

14. see no. 11

[stepnw1f]

18. thank you....

[KansDem]

28. You're welcome...

I got this information after finding out where a "Kerry Keane" lived through a residential database. An address was listed but no phone... If anyone can call the police in this town, PM me and I'll supply that information.

[uppityperson]

33. Send it to skinner, administration of DU

[FormerDittoHead]

10. Rich - you really owe us an explaination WTF this is...?

Rich, you didn't write this (unless it's fiction?).

I think you're really taking advantage of people posting this 11 month old what the hell is it note with no explaination here.

Who is Kerry Lynn Keane , etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

[SmokingJacket]

I think the incident happened eleven months ago..

It's not the date of the note/post.

[Rich Hunt]

38. No, it was easter sunday

Nearly twelve months ago, March 27th to be exact.

[FormerDittoHead]

31. I believe this is some kind of hoax, and I don't appreciate it...

Rich Hunt has been casually writing on this BBS, etc, but now this "suicide note" from Karen Silkwood.

I'm not buying it, and I think we're owed an explaination and an apology.

[Rich Hunt]

45. and that's exactly why I'm at the end of my rope

Because you people swoop in and turn it into a 'personal' or 'psychological' issue when it is not.

There is no getting around that someone tried to kill me last year.

How would YOU feel if someone did that? And then you got robbed by your employer on top of it?

And there's clearly an obstruction of justice at play here?

[Stephanie]

53. So what do you need? Do you need a lawyer?

What kind of assistance do you need?

[uppityperson]

55. OK, bad people hurt you.

why are you posting this? venting and we should all just read and not respond? Looking for some sort of help, legal, professional, psychological? Why are you posting, what would you like us to do?

[RebelOne]

47. I believe it is a hoax, also.

[stepnw1f]

58. Where Did You Get That Info From?

[Lindsay]

15. I wish I could help you, but I don't know what I can do.

They've been taking away help and justice for the people for years.

Still, we have each other. And we need to support each other in whatever ways we can. Please take care of yourself. Do something nice for yourself. Please.

[LaurenG]

17. Will you at least respond so we know you're OK? nt

[Sugar Smack]

[WI_DEM]

19. Please don't give in and don't give up you have many friends

23. No that was really not the thing to say.

[stepnw1f]

24. please delete you post

please

[lonestarnot]

40. No It's the truth.

[lonestarnot]

51. besides this isn't the suicide hotline... it's a political board!

Get's rough in here.

[mdmc]

25. nice to know you, Kerry Lynn

no hope... but it does sound like a shitty situation. Today my local paper had a story about a guy that went to high school with me. He was charged by the FBI with conspiracy to commit murder. You need to hang in there on this tough earth. Peace.

[Carni]

26. Please call one of the hotlines above

There is nothing worth offing yourself over.

Please seek help.

[Rich Hunt]

32. what kind of shitty advice is this?

Not being able to get justice and having powerful people try to ruin you and deny you exist, and after a year of giving people the info and ultimatums and getting no help IS a reason to kill yourself.

There's no future. It's logical.

They are trying to ruin me.

Are you blind, or can't you read the words 'attempted murder'?

Please, if you have saccharine advice, spare me.

I've seen how cruel the system is to the vulnerable and I've had enough.

I'm too weak to play this game anymore. Understand, or get lost.

[LaurenG]

37. Do you need somewhere to go

lashing out at those who don't have all the info won't help. What can we do? What, tell us how to help, what do you need.

[Sugar Smack]

39. So DON'T POST a thread where you know people are going to

show concern!!!!! The OP is a volitile-sounding one. Go get some goddamned help RIGHT NOW.

[Rich Hunt]

41. do you always tell that to attempted murder victims?

This is a situation of INJUSTICE, not a psychological or personal problem.

What is WRONG with you?

[LaurenG]

44. Well it's very unclear from your post

and I really wish you could see that we are trying to figure out what you need.

[Sugar Smack]

46. Nope. Nothing's wrong with me. I didn't post a suicide note

in GD.

[uppityperson]

50. And so why are you posting this?

Are you:
venting?
seeking advice?
asking for legal help?

Why are you posting this, what can we do?

[Rich Hunt]

54. why do you ask questions?

As if I should suffer a murder attempt and not tell anyone.

[greatauntoftriplets]

57. DU is NOT the police department.

Report it to them. You should have reported it last year. How would you survive being rear ended by someone driving 90 mph down Lake Shore Drive?

[Carni]

56. Anyone that would post all this cryptic bullshit for attention

Has a psychological problem--

Ever think maybe they tried to run you off the road because you're an asshole?

Just sayin....

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

27. Coming this fall to FOX.......

Followed by an all new "House"......

[noonwitch]

29. The Unemployment office never calls you, you must call them!

That's how it works.

[helderheid]

30. Don't do anything rash, Kerry. We're here. What can we do to help you?

[Rich Hunt]

36. I'm not giving any more personal info

It's an attempted murder. If you can't figure that out and help on your own, you have no business asking questions.

I'm not giving any more information. I've seen enough.

"Western Springs" - what a joke.

[mdmc]

48. by the way,

My name is Michael.

[Sammy Pepys]

34. There is/was a "Kerry Keane" at Columbia College

..in Chicago. Library Assistant.

[Catherine Vincent]

35. I'm confused.

[Greyhound]

42. Well Kerry Lynn Keane, of Chicago, was still alive as of Sept 21 2005

She signed a save Marshall Field's petition.
Not sure what the point of this is. I've heard so many similar stories over the last 10 - 15 years, but still nothing is being done.

[monktonman]

43. I'm not buying it.

[Norquist Nemesis]

49. Me either. n/t

[stop the bleeding]

52. I have alerted he Mods - this thread is getting out of hand

people are trying to help and things are getting weird

[Parrcrow]
